Tonight's Results. (Spoilery!)
EW On the Scene Report.
hi kids! in case anyone missed it, dcook rocked the house last night as usual, with an electric-guitar AND an acoustic guitar, rockstar boots, my favorite hair ever, and, of course, that voice of his. don't forget to watch tonight and find out if he's safe!
in actual news, here's a link to PopWatch's on-the-scene report of last night. my favorite part?
ok, and this is cute, too.
Afterward, Syesha worked the crowd as the other Idols shuffled offstage, but not before Cook asked Debbie to page his mom: "Mom? Where's David Cook's mom?" Mama Cook waved to her son, he waved back — see! mensch!
They execute the Cook-interviews-Seacrest gambit, give each other a "I guess that went well?" shrug, and soon enough Paula's up and dancing as Cook sings about being alive. And when I said Cook was a mensch, I meant it; he stuck around after he was done specifically so he could give Brooke a good luck high five.Read More....
Word Of The Day - April 30
pontificate (v., pon-tif-i-keyt)
1. administer a pontifical office
2. talk in a dogmatic and pompous manner
Simon tends to pontificate when it's his turn to speak, but David Cook is usually spared the worst of it (because he's awesome).
If there had been more time last night, it's likely Randy would have pontificated about David Cook's snazzy new jacket. Read More....

Mtv Hearts DCook.
Long before David Cook was an "American Idol" front-runner, a spiky-haired heartthrob or even a bartender in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he was just another kid from Blue Springs, Missouri, obsessed with baseball, chasing girls and playing rock and roll.
At least that's how Bobby Kerr remembers him. He and Cook first met as teammates on the Blue Springs Bombers when they were 12 years old, and over the next decade, they became best friends and bandmates, bonding over a shared dream of rock superstardom and all the trappings that went along with it.
"David and I went to middle school together, and neither of us were really musicians at the time, but we played baseball together," Kerr told MTV News from his home in Blue Springs. "We were both pitchers, but pretty much right then and there, we both realized that we could sing a bit. And that was the ticket to the ladies, so we started hanging and playing music. In high school, we figured out we were gonna be good musicians — we didn't play a lot of covers, maybe a little bit of, like, the Presidents of the United States of America or whatever — we were writing our own stuff. I mean, it was pretty embarrassing stuff, like, when you're 15 or 16 everything sucks, so the songs were about that, or about girls we went to school with or the pain our parents caused us. You know, stupid sh-- like that. But it was where we started."

happy dcook tuesday, readers! don't forget to vote tonight! at this late stage of the game, david needs your support more than ever.
the word for today is a favorite of mine (which is not at all coincidental, since i picked it!).
ob·se·qui·ous [uhb-see-kwee-uhs], adjective
1. characterized by or showing servile complaisance or deference; fawning: an obsequious bow.
2. servilely compliant or deferential: obsequious servants.
3. obedient; dutiful.
"David Cook is always polite and agreeable toward the judges - fortunately, he's a total rockstar stud, so he never comes across as obsequious, just well-mannered."

EW Ranks The Top 5
the weekly EW Power Rankings are up. no surprise to see our guy once again dominating. the weekly who's-your-fave poll is up as well. go forth and vote.
the TV Guide Rankings are also up, but TV Guide isn't nearly as cool as Entertainment Weekly, so EW gets the headline. the results are the same, though - dcook FTW!

Word Of The Day - April 28
contrary to what simon cowell thinks, we know many, many people who find david's confessed "word nerd" tendencies to be an attractive quality. as such, we've decided to carry the nerd banner alongside mr. cook by posting a Word Of The Day in his honor. we will define a word each day, as well as using the word in a david-related sentence. feel free to jump in and offer your suggestions!
confluence \KON-floo-uhn(t)s\, noun:
1. A flowing or coming together; junction.
2. The place where two rivers, streams, etc. meet.
3. A flocking or assemblage of a multitude in one place; a large collection or assemblage.
David Cook's rise to frontrunner status on American Idol has been the result of a confluence of many factors, such as his tremendous voice, original arrangements and spot-on strategy.
(one of my personal fave words, btw.) Read More....
