David Cook

Ryan Star, David Cook's tour opener calls David out on stage, and then proceeds to sing David's Idol song, "Time Of My Life" or as lovingly known to fans as, "Magic Rainbow". Mad props to Ryan Star!!!

Before the singer/songwriter/guitarist had “The Time of My Life” on the reality TV contest, he moved from his hometown of Blue Springs, Mo., to Tulsa to join popular regional band the Midwest Kings. By the time he auditioned for “Idol” in 2007, Cook had launched a solo career, playing a regu...

Because I see David as being a pretty profound guy, I asked him for his take on the music scene today, and he said that he is a bit disheartened by some of it. As he explained, so many artists today just go for the singles, where as his band really wanted to release an actual album, complete with a c...

By Erika Boston Globe reviews the Idols on Tour and Give Thumbs Up to David Cook and Brooke White August 18th, 2008 The Idols played in Worcester, MA just down the road from where your EH team used to live. Worcester has a great concert venue and like the Jobbing Arena where we saw the Idols play on the opening night of the tour here in Glendale, AZ back in July , it doubles as a hockey rink so it is a cool and comfortable retreat from a hot summer night and great for a concert! Boston Globe Mark Hirsch wrote a great review of the show, pretty much echoing our own experience with one difference- we liked Michael Johns and his smoking vocals. Hirsch has this to say about Chikeze and Carly “High-energy R&B wildcard Chikezie showed what a shame it was that he was...   [read the full post]

By Erika Why David Cook could become Rock’s Next Big Superstar June 4th, 2008 Why David Cook could become Rock’s Next Big Superstar By Erika Blake Entertainment Hotline Reporter I’ve come to a conclusion that unless British men are gay they simply don’t know how to identify when another man is sexy. First Simon Cowell spent most of this season in the dark over David Cook’s charisma during season 7 of American Idol, but apparently Idol producer Nigel Lythogoe is in desperate need of someone shoving a flashlight into his hands in order for him to recognize what is obvious to the members of the feminine sex. OK!Magazine sat down with the American Idol producer who bluntly stated this head spinning ditty about Cook “He can certainly sing – and I’d like to...   [read the full post]
