David Cook – the fab guy from Idol

Let me kick off the first entry into my new fantabulous blog with a mini fact file on David Cook. David Roland Cook (born December 20, 1982) is a fabulous rock singer and songwriter and on May 21, 2008, this dude won the seventh season of American Idol. Next, let us play a game I called “I Didn’t Know That”. So, did you know that…
i ) Cook was the lead singer and guitarist of the band Axium from 1999 until 2006
ii ) His musical influences include Our Lady Peace, Alice in Chains (???), Big Wreck (another big question mark) and Pearl Jam
iii) He originally did not plan to try out for the show as he was going on a trip to China; he came to the auditions initially to support his younger brother Andrew and then decided to try out himself (oh thank God for that, if u didn’t try out, that Miley Cyrus wannabe, David Archuleta would have won)
On April 1, 2008, a few hours after American Idol aired, it was reported that Cook was rushed to the hospital because his "heart was palpitating at a high rate and his blood pressure was high (shocking!!!)
iv) During the finale of season 7 of American Idol, Cook appeared in a commercial for the game franchise Guitar Hero (I love this game!), mimicking Tom Cruise
v ) Following Cook's American Idol victory, Cook broke several Billboard chart records. Most notable was his record shattering feat of having eleven songs debut on the Hot 100 that week, beating the previous record set by Miley Cyrus ( I hate her, u suck Miley!) in 2006 when she had six songs debut on the chart
That’s all for now.
You know you love me,
