Bloggers Make Their Picks @ AOL
One thing's certain: The winner of Season 7 of 'American Idol' will be named David. But will it be Archuleta or Cook? It's too close to call, with the race perhaps even tighter than the last all-male finale, Ruben vs. Clay. We asked bloggers to weigh in with their predictions of which David will triumph in the end.

“If I’m gonna base it on who has done the best performances over the live shows, David Cook deserves to win.”

Billboard.com: Q&A: David Cook of 'American Idol'
Thanks to MJ of DavidCook Yahoo! Group.
This is worth reading.
What other lessons have you learned doing the show?
This show and this whole process has allotted me a brand new lease on life in that I’m more sure of who I am now than I ever was before. When you’re trying to be a career musician and you have $200 in the bank and your car’s breaking down and you’re lonely, you tend to think about whether or not you’ve got what it takes to do this, you know?

Cook Sings About a Wolf and CSI New York
Top 4. Rock 'n' Roll Hall Of Fame Night. David performs Duran Duran's Hungry Like The Wolf and The Who's Baba O Riley. I like the second song. Nothing more, nothing less. Performance-wise, we should be seeing more of David next week. I hope America gets it right.

Randy: Interested with song choice. Solid performance but just ok, not amazing, just ok. - agree
Paula: Talks about appetite and boy's club.
Simon: Good. A bit copycat, didn't make it his own. Good enough to get through to next week.


Randy: Little different tonight. Resident rocker dude. Great. - agree
Paula:
Wants more David Cook.
Simon:
Welcome back, David Cook.

'Duel' between two Davids looms on 'AI' @ Philippine Daily Inquirer
By Nestor Torre
".. As for David Cook, he's years older, and less "puppy-dog cute," but he get higher marks on point of versatility, vocal texture, interpretation and "sexy" projection. In other words, his more extensive experience in performing has made him a more expressive and daring performer than his younger cofinalist.." Continue reading.

David Cook Won't Royally Screw Kids @ TMZ
Thanks to Lori of The David Cook Yahoo! Group.
Royals fans can rest easy -- there won't be 25 crying kids in the crowd when David Cook comes to town.

Cook was approached by the Kansas City Royals to sing the national anthem at game on May 9. The problem is 25 elementary kids were already booked.

A spokesperson for the Royals told TMZ that Cook didn't feel comfortable bumping the kids -- so he'll sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" instead and throw out the first pitch.

Cook was invited to the game because if he survives another week of "Idol," he'll be making a trip home Blue Springs, MO. for a visit. Source: TMZ.COM
