David Cook: More Fan Videos
All of the videos I've found from the broadcast yesterday of the homecoming concert in Blue Springs have had the same poor sound quality as the ones I posted earlier. *sniff*
But there are some fan videos from these events that are starting to pop up, with different angles and sound. Enjoy!
Always Be My Baby - Blue Springs Concert
My Hero - Blue Springs Concert
I'll add to this post as I find more!

David Cook Parade and Concert
I'll post links, videos, etc. here as I find them. To start out with, here is the beginning of the pep rally at his high school football stadium plus the three songs he played for the crowd, available to download. This is from the live feed, so the video quality isn't great. But it's something, right? Download it here.
Songs were Always Be My Baby, My Hero (Foo Fighters cover!), and Living on a Prayer.
EDIT: Found the video on the Fox 4 KC site.
Meeting with his family before the parade
The Parade
Thanking his fans, etc. at the concert
Always Be My Baby
My Hero
Living on a Prayer
EDIT 2: Living on a Prayer is now up and running.
I am looking for better quality videos, but no luck yet. Keep checking in here for more. I will also post anything I can find from his appearance tonight at the Kansas City Royals game as soon as it is available.

David Cook at the Light and Power District
As part of his hometown visit, David gave a mini-concert at the new Power and Light District in downtown Kansas City. He performed an acoustic version of Living on a Prayer and Always Be My Baby. If you want to download the audio from Living on a Prayer, you can do that here. Thanks to my friend crzytarau for uploading that! I'll add more as I locate it.
David was very gracious the entire time, and seems humbled by all of the love and support he's receiving at home. Stay tuned, and keep watching the live feed!
Still to come today: a parade, another concert, and an appearance at the Kansas City Royals game!
EDIT: I've got video now! Here's Living on a Prayer and Always Be My Baby. Enjoy!
Another EDIT: Want some video to keep? Download it now!

David Cook: American Idol Performances
So...I just can't get enough of this guy. Seriously. I am listening/watching/searching for stuff from him constantly. I think I am now officially addicted to Cookies. No need to stage an intervention for me though...I'm rather enjoying myself!
So, if you are one of those people who've been living under a rock for the last few months, and you have no clue who I'm gushing about, I've decided to give you a little taste. Granted, YouTube video is nothing in comparison to seeing him live on a big screen TV...and even less to seeing him live on a big screen HDTV...and beyond nothing, I'm sure, to seeing him perform live and in person. But, it'll give you a taste. Hopefully, it'll give you enough of a taste that you decide to tune in on Tuesday night...and maybe even to throw some votes his way!
Our first glimpse of him was his audition, where he rocked some Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer.
In Hollywood Week, he took on Bryan Adams: Everything I Do, I Do For You.
For the Top 24 (60's Week), he took on The Turtles' Happy Together.
In the Top 20 (70's Week), he did All Right Now by Free.
For the Top 16 (80's Week), David took a huge risk by performing Hello by Lionel Ritchie.
Top 12 week brought The Beatles, and Eleanor Rigby.
The Top 11 brought a second week of Beatles music, with Day Tripper from Cookie.
For the Top 10, the theme of The Year They Were Born prevailed, leading David to do Billie Jean by Michael Jackson, only with some pretty major twists.
The Top 9 worked with Dolly Parton, and David chose to perform Little Sparrow.
In week 8, the Top 8 chose Inspirational songs. David's choice was Innocent by Our Lady Peace.
The Top 7 all performed Mariah Carey songs, and David made a rock song out of Always Be My Baby.
This next week will be yet another challenge for American Idol 7's resident rocker, with their song choices centering around Andrew Lloyd Webber. However, after seeing what David has done with songs like Happy Together, Billie Jean, Hello, Little Sparrow, and Always Be My Baby, I have no doubt that he will find a way to completely suit whatever song he chooses to his own voice and style.
Vote for Cookie!

David Cook - Analog Heart
So I recently posted about one of my two favorites from this season's American Idol, Michael Johns. Today...today, it is all about David Cook. You can just call him Cookie. I do. I love Cookies. They are yummy. And yes, I'm saying that David Cook is yummy...at least he looks like he would be. I have (sadly) not tasted him to be sure.
Anyways. *clears throat* Um...what was this blog going to be about? Hmmm...Cookies...Cookies and milk? No, that's not right. No.
Oh yeah. David Cook's solo album, Analog Heart. If you haven't heard this guy sing on American Idol, you need to crawl out from under the rock you've been using to hide yourself from life and head over to Youtube RIGHT NOW. Just plug in his name and click on search. He is amazing. It'll be a travesty if this guy doesn't win American Idol this year, especially since now Michael Johns is out of it. The guy rocks. Seriously. No one else could possibly make me fall in love with a Mariah Carey song. Ever. And I wanna Always Be HIS Baby. Just sayin'.
And yet again, I am off topic. Good thing this is my blog, huh? *whew* It's getting warm in here. Okay...fine...since I'm already off topic, be sure to watch his version of Billie Jean, Little Sparrow, Always Be My Baby, and Eleanor Rigby on Youtube. If you fall in love with those (and him!) (which you will), then check it all out.
Then after you're done with that, and you're in love with the guy like I am, and you want everything you can get your hands on that the guy has ever done....then you need to head over to Amazon and buy his solo album Analog Heart. Seriously. This is beyond awesome. THIS is the kind of album that we'll be getting from him if he wins AI. And this is by far a better album than any first album by any of the previous AI winners. Just sayin'. I love him. I love his voice. I love his heart. And I love this album. Buy it.
Oh yeah...and David is a self-proclaimed "Word Nerd". I love that too. Because I have always had a thing for words. If you've read some of my more obsure, off-the-wall posts here, you know that I love literature and writing poetry...and I love music with lyrics that mean something. Typically, it is a song's lyrics that draw me in before anything else. And that is definitely the case with the Analog Heart album.
"I was a name across your lips, it's time to spit me out. I play the game when my heart rips, it's time to hear me out." (Fall Back Into Me).
"If you want to know the truth, you make or break my day. If you want to know the truth, I wouldn't have it any other way. I rest my head from running circles 'round my mind on why you let go. No answers to be found, romances all rewind, I guess I'll never know." (The Truth).
"You made me fall forever with no end in sight. When everything around is broken could you say that this felt right? You are, for contradiction's sake, everything I remember that I swore I'd forget." (Searchlights).
"I try to breathe deep. I try to find sleep. I try holding on to the same old song just because of a brand new verse. And I found what I always wanted as she walked away." (Stitches).
"Lost her way from everything she swore she knew, a friend. Run away from start to finish though it never ends. In her mind she is blinded by all she sees. Close your eyes, just pretend the bullet isn't there. No surprise, no need to pretend that no one really even cares. But in her eyes you will find the very best in me." (Makeover).
"When writing your history, I will always be a footnote, a distant memory, a warning sign of mistakes made." (Silver).
This guy...he has a voice that is MADE for recording. And he's really good to watch live too. The combination is just irresistable. Seriously.
Oh yeah...and while you're already buying the Analog Heart album on Amazon, head over to iTunes and download Cookie's performances and studio versions. And while you're there, buy the ones that Michael Johns did too. You won't regret it. They're awesome.
P.S. I love that David has so much going on in his personal life right now...and yet he refuses to talk about it or use it as a means for garnering "sympathy votes." He wants to win this shindig...but he wants to win it on his own merits, and not because he has one of the biggest, sweetest hearts out there. Vote for Cookie!
