I'm a fan (and you should be too) because..lets see - because David Cook made me feel alive. Thats something I hadnt felt in sooo many years. Kinda hard to explain - had severals hardships in my life and decided as told to me by one of my doctors that i was the only patient he had that you couldnt tell how i felt by the look on my face. After watching DC on AI he has such presence - intergrity - and the most sincere eyes. I am quiet certain that he's a normal 25 yr old - but he is the real thing and should be respected as such. There is no competition left of DA and DC that is over - they are both totally different artists with different styles. DC knows this he's just awesome and thanks for the ALIVE inside feeling I had once again found due to you DC. The best of luck to you and all you do - I am sure you will have the greatness that you deserve.
