I have only watched idol since season five. I was not too motivated to watch it untill Carrie Underwood won season four, despite the fact that i can only stand so much of her becuase i think she's totaly skank, but that not the point. i Never really had a favorite in season six, so I didn't watch that season all the way through, and in season, my favorite, bucky Covington was kixked off five weeks into the top twelve, he was in the top eight or something, so needless to say, i hadn't watched an entire seqason al the way through until season seven. At first I was not impressed by the crop of the contestants in season seven. I remeber now seeing david in the prelims during hollywood week, but i thought he hadn't made it through becuase i don't always pay attention to people untill i've picked my favorites going into the top twenty four on "results" night of hollywood week, and i missed it this year, so I was a bit clueless. i thnk i was channel surfing, and I caught part of one of his top twenty four performances, and i hated him for some reason, looks something, i dont know, but that how most of my obsessions atrart out- slight hatred, not morbid hatred like i have for the Jonas brother and i always will have, but only a slight "dislike" , kinda like "eh, it's just not my thing." i was attracked to David the first week of the top twelve. I will admit, his performance of Eleanor Rigby was pretty damn good, it cuaght me off guard a bit. Then of course like the Dork that I am, I look at him and my thought was "WOW, he's yummy! he's like a young rockstar Keith Urban" just becuase I am also a HUGE fan Of keith Urban, and David pulls off the brunett look better than Keith ever did. so then when i watched him perform Day Tripper, i sqaid "DAMN!! He can play Guitar pretty damn good too! this kid has got to be distantly related to Keith UIrban or Something!" so as time goes on i find myself doing the same thing as i was when i first started getting Into Keith Urban, randomly googling David, Joining Formums, find Music ect. as the Season continued i found myself watching past the top sixm the top five, the tope four, which i NEVER did. Then i realized i loved David not becuase he looked like or could paly like my idol and hero, but hecuase he was becoming one of my idols. Ilove the way David really didnt care what people thought about his styiling or how he arranged the music to be true to himself. I am an aspring singer songwriter myself, and i have always lived my the idea that you have to be your self, you cannot let people make you someone, orelse you music is gonna be crappy. Hate to Say it but it's true. I think thats Why David Won- He's not genaric, He's someone who doesn't follow the pack, He's not an Idol repeat. He's Not Fake Either, He's got a genuine heart, and he doesnt put on an act.
So that why I am Word Nerd Monkey (what all us Keith Urban fans call ourselves.)
Rest In Peace Adam, you are safe with the Angels now.
To David and the rest of the Cook family,
you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Adam was a wonderful man, and he is watching over you from heaven forever more. he fought a tough battle, and now he can finally rest and be at peace. He is safe with the lord and with his fellow angels now.
" know your life
On earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You werent afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain
Go rest high on that mountain
Son, you work on earth is done
Go to heaven a shoutin
Love for the father and son"- Vince Gill
