I thought AI was a singing competition, not a writing competition. David Cook has not disappointed his fans. He continues to rewrite, rearrange, make new covers, making completely new Cookiefied songs for all of us to enjoy week after week after week. It is now expected from David Cook to produce a NEW song every week. Is it fair? Probably not. Do the judges expect the other contestants to produce a new song, even one time? Nope! The judges and Cook fans (including me), are now addicted to David Cook and his NEW songs.

Listen to "Hungry Like The Wolf" a couple of times and tell me that DC doesn't have a unique style and sound.  Wasn't David's growling rough edge to his smooth voice enough to sway the judges? Why did DC feel he had to apologize for this genius music? Simon says to DC after he sang "Baba O'Reiley,"--"Welcome back, David Cook"--where did David go? David didn't go anywhere, Simon. David's right here in my heart, and all of our hearts. His music expands our minds. He gives a new look to old songs. His covers are relevant to today, and he speaks to our hearts in a new language, Cookmania. People all over the world are catching it, and learning the new language.

Come on, judges, give David Cook the props he deserves. Does this musical genius really have to prove himself by rewriting old songs every week? Can't we just listen to him sing straight up, and enjoy him? Yes, but DC struggles for perfection, and that includes his creativity and originality as well as his vocal chords and lungs and heart, and lovely lips with perfect diction, and perfect vibrato.

Cook for President! But first, Cook for #1 American Idol. (Then he can marry me, and rock me to sleep every night with "All I Really Need Is You"!!!!  Yeah!)  How many marriage proposals have you gotten so far, David Cook?  David, you can add mine, but I'd really like you to ask me instead! LOVE YA!

I can't be the only one who has noticed David Cook's covers of songs he has been performing on American Idol. He changes up a song until it is a new creation, with new meanings. I actually think my brain is expanding when I listen to his music, now that's a feat!  How can he do this, week after week, and not disappoint his fans? Even the professional recording artists can't put out a hit every week, but somehow DC does not disappoint. Not only is he getting hotter every week (yeah, I'm a female worshipper of DC), but his performances won't let me go. He melts me where I am, and blows my mind with his new songs. His recognizable voice calms my spirit like David did for King Saul back in the Old Testament. This guy is not going to go away, folks. His charisma IMO can be compared to the Beatles phenomena back in the '60's (I was a little girl, but I still remember seeing them on the Ed Sullivan Show). Women of all ages want this man they have never met, even one lady asked him for a date on AI (poor DC handled it as gently as he could). DC don't be too hard on her, she can't help that you are irresistable. It's not her fault that you have captured her heart. You have won her heart, and mine, and you pretty much have the pick of any lady you want now. Your sweet spirit shows though your music. Don't apologize for your music, DC. Listen to HLTW again, and again, and you'll be hooked, I am. Baba O'Reiley--DC is a seasoned singer, able to effortlessly hit those notes with perfect pitch and no sliding, skipping an octave and landing right dead on the high note, cleverly maneuvering your highly skilled voice and caressing the notes and perfectly formed words till we are all mesmerized, hypnotized, and under your spell. You have spoiled the judges, David Cook. Although you have entered a singing contest, you have revealed your writing and arranging skills and now it is expected of you on every performance. We are all addicted to DC's new songs, and are hungry like the wolf for more. Squirrelly needs more DC, so please give us full length versions of "All I Really Need Is You" and "Baba O'Reiley" pleeeeeeeeeeeeeaze! I love you David Cook!
