Live Review: David Cook in Phoenix

Early on in his show last night (11/3) at Phoenix's Veterans Memorial Coliseum, "American Idol" winner David Cook, wanted to assure fans that he was giving it his all.

"In the intent of full disclosure, I'm going to tell you something and I want you to try really hard not to hold it against us," Cook told the audience, whose deafening screams permeated the air at the singer's every move. "You don't even know what we're going to tell you yet. We just got back from a two-week vacation. This is our first show back. I want you to make sure we're giving you 175 percent."
Cook and his band gave it more than that during the Arizona State Fair show. The 70-minute performance was chock full of personality and wit. At times, Cook's voice was a little pitchy, to quote "American Idol" judges, but the fans didn't seem to care. They were there to see their idol. And Cook--complete with his knowing half-smile--was having just as much fun as the crowd.

"We're, what, three songs into this and I've got no place else to go," said the chatty Cook. "I'm having a great time."

Cook dedicated "I Did It For You," which he co-wrote with Our Lady Peace's Raine Maida, to his fans, whom, he said, he grew to appreciate during the "American Idols Live" tour that followed his win. He wrapped up the song with a few lines sung a cappella, proving his "Idol" win was no fluke.

"When I got off 'Idol,' way back in 2008, we started the 'Idol' tour in Glendale [outside Phoenix]," he said. "We did 53 dates around the country. It made me appreciate the amount of people who come to these gigs."

Cook said that he, too, is a fan of "American Idol" winners, including Carrie Underwood, whose Dec. 7 Fox television special will feature Cook.

"Carrie Underwood has a new album out today," Cook said. "Go buy it so she and I can continue to be friends. Carrie said this is one of her favorite songs on the record," he added about "Lie."

The set list, which did not include Cook's song "Time of My Life," was pretty much his self-titled, year-old debut, plus a pre-"Idol" song called "We're Only Honest When We're Sleeping," a rollicking rocker that Cook said he performed to keep the audience on their toes.

The show was opened by one of Ireland's finest exports, The Script, who played a too-short, 20-minute set, a half hour earlier than stated on the ticket. Those who were in the crowd were won over by The Script's warm nature and heartbreaking tunes. A wave of familiarity came over the crowd as The Script performed "The Man Who Can't Be Moved," a song that appeared on "The Hills" and "Beverly Hills 90210."

I have lost count of the amount of times David has made me cry, but I love him for it....

You've gotta love the Dr....

At the prem of This Is It, an interviewer told David that he would, 'kill' Dirty Diana. (see video below)

Dirty Diana, has never really been one of my all-time favourite Michael Jackson songs, but after listening to it last night, I think it would make an amazing cover for David and the band. It kind of has a Kiss On The Neck feel to it.

David also posted this on his Twitter page, 'Working on a few surprises for you guys.' A DD cover perhaps??

David joined Our Lady Peace on stage last night in Kansas City, fantastic video!!

Found this picture of David and the presenter of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Ty Pennington.




Also, this video of David auctioning off his guitar with all proceeds going to The American Cancer Society.

So this video is kinda old, but look at poor Neal! Why David, is it that you have finger-less gloves and Neal doesn't?

This video is great!

I adore this show, when it first started me and my Mum used to sit down and watch it together and always cry at the end or through-out the entire show!!

I can't wait to see how David contributes to the show and I'm pretty sure I'll be needing tissues!

"Extreme Makeover" To Build in Miami County

A Miami County girl suffering from a blood disease with a giving heart will be the recipient of a new home courtesy of ABC’s "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition."

The television show has tapped into the resources of Anderson-based Hallmark Homes to build a new home for 12-year-old Kori Cowan and her family.

Kori was diagnosed with a congenital blood disease affecting her immune system at the age of 6.

Despite the continuing battles with her own health, Kori has raised over $35,000 for the American Cancer Society to help her best friend, whom she met during one of her many trips to the hospital.

Kori and her family were notified Wednesday morning, and will spend the next 5 days at Disney World while Hallmark Homes and the Extreme Makeover crew build a new home outside of Bunker Hill.

American Idol winner David Cook is expected to help with the build. Cook has family in the area and spent summers in his childhood in nearby Kokomo.
