I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...the first time I ever heard of David Cook was on Entertainment Tonight when they were interviewing Lionel Richie on the phone in reference to David's performance of HELLO on AI. Just hearing him sing those few seconds took me by surprise and gave me goose bumps that I have to admit I have never felt with any singer. After that I started to watch AI just to see if it would be his destiny to be crowned AI. Keep in mind I had never watch AI prior to this. He has a way of singing that goes to the core of your soul!
