Congrats, Mister David Cook


Say hello to stardom and an absolute goodbye to your privacy.

The headlines have already begun…
David Cook Dating Lacey Schwimmer?
David Cook is ‘Going to Disney World!’
And now Perez is writing about his win Note that Perez posted at 10:39 pm and by midnight there were already 1,185 comments. Wow. Or as Joey might say, Wooooah.

Here’s a peek at some of that charisma, and probably one of his very first hefty endorsement paychecks.

Where’s that wagon?

I know I am probably a bandwagonner at this point on my AI selection, but whateveah.

I like little Archuleta but he always sounds like he’s singing to an audience made up of old folks home residents listening in for a special treat from their grandson. Brooke is nice, but I get bored listening to her. Same with Sayesha. Jason is just plain awkward and I think maybe he’s always high?

IMHO, and that’s a real H as someone that self-admittedly cannot carry a tune, “America” kicked off all the good peeps already except David Cook (and I don’t even think he has the charisma factor that Blake-that-ended-up-going-nowhere-from-last-year had). But that’s my pick and I’ll stick to it.

PS It is even possible that I might miss Kristi Lee Cook’s glitter stick shadow? Cuz I think I do.

The Amercan Idol Debate

In a recent post one of my fave bloggers (with a Double Life of her own) throws the chips on the table for Melinda Doolittle to win American Idol.

Lakisha and Melinda are absolutely talented without a doubt. However, for some reason, I also find them boring (in the nicest way possible). If I were to pick the winner right now, based on talent, uniqueness and star quality, I’d pick Blake.

Just for fun, here’s the link to the “Laundromat” Ford commercial that appeared on last week’s results show. It was one of the persuaders pushing me to think Blake may arrive in the finals (which, let’s face it, is practically the same thing as winning - read: Clay Aiken, Katherine McPhee, etc.).

Now if he could just keep the beat boxing down a little bit…
