David Cook Loves His Cougar Fans

Thu, 29 May 2008 at 3:24 pm

American Idol winner David Cook and runner-up David Archuleta make an appearance on NBC’s Today Show at Rockefeller plaza on Thursday in New York City.

“As far as people thinking I’m pretty or something,” Cook said, addressing his ‘cougar’ fans. “I don’t know. It’s amazing what a haircut and forgetting to shave will do.”

Watch the Davids’ interviews here. Archuleta can be found singing “Think Of Me” here. And watch Cook’s performance below!

Earlier this week, Cook visited a Los Angeles hospital to visit fellow Top 24 contestant Luke Menard, who was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

“I love Luke and I just wanted to show up and make sure that he understood that I love him and know that if there’s anything I can do for him and his wife, sign me up, you know?” Cook tells People. “Luke, Michael Johns, Jason Yeager and myself, we kind of buddied up one day at Hollywood week. We called ourselves the four horsemen. Any time one of your own is going through something as horrible as that, it makes everything else seem a little bit insignificant.

Finally, an interview where there’s no mention of KC. In fact, I get the feeling that he’s backing off that relationship a little. Yesterday, he changed the subject pretty quickly with Juliet when she raised the KC issue. He knows KC will bring him nothing but trouble with the fans becasue of her reputation.

Finally, his public relations people are starting to earn their paychecks.
If he has to be with any woman, introduce him to a nice wholesome girl, not some untalented Hollywood s… who has been around the block too many times.

Go David! We’re rooting for you to do the right thing, because it’s the right thing to do !!!!

David Cook is amazingly talented, gifted, really, musically. His kindness, the way he builds up others, is even more amazing. What amazing personal strength he must have.

I love seeing his brotherly relationship with David A because of this. It gives back a little faith in humanity.

That said. I LOVE his music! I am sure he’ll be very successful.
