I'm a fan and you should be too because, well, I honestly could go on for days about why I am a fan of David Roland's. This man captivates me and makes my heart melt. He has blessed me with so much these past few months, I'll never be able to repay him for it. David brought music back into my life at a time when I'd lost all hope for anything and everything. I remember top 12 guys week watching him sing Hello and being completely enamored by this man. I knew then and there that he was something special. I found out what I could about him and anxiously awaited to see how the season unfolded for him.

I remember how I felt listening to Eleanor Rigby and Billie Jean for the first times, like this man could do no wrong and the music world needed him as a part of it. As the season went on and his performances got better, I knew that this man had the power, grace, and ability to be a superstar. Watching his emotions unfold when he performed ABMB, Innocent, etc. made me realize he didn't care if the whole world saw him cry, he was being himself. No matter what.

As the season dwindled down and he found himself in the top 2, I knew he must win this competition. Not because he needed to, granted he would be successful even if he took 2nd, but because he deserved to. David deserved to win Idol...for all he is and all he has become. I've listened to Analog Heart a million times now and I honestly can say I've never ever heard so much passion and fire in a musician as I do with David. David has such an intense passion for what he does..and also for causes so near and dear to him. I know no matter what, he's always going to be the same man from Blue Springs that we all fell in love with. (It's true David)

As I watched that finale, in suspense and sheer nervousness, I honestly felt like I could not breathe. I wanted so badly for him to win, so much more than I've ever wanted anything. The finale was actually enjoyable but then came THE moment. As I watched him up on that stage about to receive the news that would change everything, my heart started beating, my hands were sweaty, and I was shaking like a leaf. Then came those words: "Your American Ido 2008 is David...Cook!" I screamed, jumped for joy, and felt so much emotion running through my body. Then came his reaction, having his family up there, breaking down into tears, that's when I lost it. I then knew, he did it! He did what everyone (with the exception of his devoted Word Nerds) thought he couldn't and wouldn't do. He won Idol.

I will never forget that moment, that emotion, that feeling that dreams do come true. I felt so happy for him, so proud and I knew then I'd never falter in my love and devotion for him. Then came Charlotte, North Carolina on August 17th. I traveled so many hours, and so many miles to see this incredible man live. I have to say it was the best experience ever. I may not have met him, but he got the scrapbook I worked on so much that entire summer and that was good enough for me. I knew that wouldn't be the last time I'd have the chance to meet him. Getting to go, getting to share in that experience with some amazing people was enough. That's something else David did for me, he brought some of the most amazing people into my life. I never would have met them and become so close to them had not for my hero. He saves me everyday - saves me from the world, my family, and myself. He keeps me sane and never disappoints me.

I honestly can not find one thing wrong with David Cook. He's such an amazing person, inside and out, and he always will be. I have no doubts that the future will be so good to him, and I can't wait to embark on that journey with him as a loyal fan. As I listen to "Light On" for the hundredth time today, I realize again just why he's my Idol. His voice is absolute perfection and I can tell he poured all of himself into this song (and into the record, I'm sure.) He could do no wrong vocally. He sang this song so beautifully, the emotion, the rawness, the passion, is absolutely perfect. David, you are talented beyond words. I can not now, nor will I ever be able to tell you how amazing I think you are. You are an incredible person and my dear sweet David, I know that you will be okay through it all. You have your incredible family and amazing friends, as well as your Word Nerds, by your side.

I can't wait until I get the chance to see him again in concert. My love for him took me to a different state for one 5 song set, I'd travel a 1000 miles just to see him live again. Okay, I'll end this here before I go on and on for another hour about how much he means to me. Just know this - David Roland Cook is the single most amazing person I've ever had the pleasure of having in my life. His music is his gift, but he is our angel...
