And...another slap in the face from management. I don't know what type of contract he has with 19 and RCA, but he should find a way out, as they have quite obviously lost all interest in him.

hellothere, I am posting this publicly because I've previously PM-d you on this matter. A look at your posting history is quite instructive. The level of repetition in your posts at this point indicates that you are completely uninterested in having an actual exchange of views with other posters here; rather, you seem more interested in declaring Cook's career to be over. Your posts also read like a deliberate effort to instigate fan wars between David Cook/Kris Allen and Adam Lambert. The staff here has had more than enough experience dealing with this kind of behavior, and enough is enough.
We get it. David Cook being invited to sing a Rolling Stone cover on AI is a slap in the face from his label and management. If David Cook were singing an original song on AI, the early timing of the gig would clearly be a management/label effort to sabotage him because his single isn't ready to go to radio yet. And if David Cook performs the lead single of his upcoming album on AI later this season, it's clearly because the label and management are trying to provoke Idol overexposure and resentment against him, and also because the label doesn't intend to promote David Cook to pop radio at all due to Adam Lambert sucking up all available promotional resources, resulting in the label's decision to just bank on his Idol fans. Your spin on every development is as predictable as your complete lack of interest in any other explanation is clear.
Simply put, your spin has risen (or sunk) to the level of parody. It simply isn't a constructive contribution to the conversation and each new dogmatic post you make gives reason to think that you are posting in bad faith. If that's the case, your posting privileges will be re-evaluated by the staff. So if you are going to post again here at Pulse, it had better be with something genuinely new, substantive, not so steeped in fan war mythology and that shows an awareness that circumstances are not nearly as "obvious" as you keep telling other posters they are.
If you have questions on the matter, please follow board rules and PM me.

Oh wellz. I guess he couldn't choose one that the contestants were singing, and they probably took all the great ones.

Yeah I think he got to pick from whatever was leftover from what the contestants got and what the Group sing was.

Is this a song he likes to perform in concert or something? Seems like a weird choice.
Never mind. I just put 2 and 2 together. Before I came on Pulse tonight I read where they would be singing Rolling Stone songs on AI. Duh...I'm getting slow.
And as someone stated above, unfortunately, this is one of their more popular songs that just doesn't work with me.

Catching up with David CookSeason 7 winner David Cook returns to the "American Idol" stage on Wednesday, much to this writer's delight. The 27-year-old Missouri native, who recently moved to L.A. but insists he still has one foot in his home state, is currently working on the follow-up to his platinum-selling self-titled debut, though he won't be playing a new song on "Idol." Instead, Cook, like the Top 12 contestants, will pay tribute to the Rolling Stones with his band's rockin' rendition of "Jumpin' Jack Flash" that's sure to be a gas, gas, gas. But on the album front, Cook recently returned from songwriting sessions in Europe and is just about done with the demoing phase for his sophomore effort. He's co-written upward of 30 songs, with another 10 to 15 in the pipeline. He played two for us on Monday night, following a rehearsal for his "Idol" gig. Snap judgment? We'll give it three Hs: heavy, hooky and full of heart. Cook's voice has never sounded better. Like a favorite pair of boots, the wear and scruff only accentuate the quality leather from which it's made. (Yes, that's how we like to think of Cook -- with leather.) Cook hopes to have a single ready in April, with the album to be released over the summer, which means he'll soon have to sequester himself in a recording studio (a producer has yet to be chosen). That may be part of the reason for this unexpected "Idol" appearance. Cook is also scheduled to visit the "If I Can Dream" house on Thursday night (fans can talk to him live via the "Dream" house Twitter). And guess who's tagging along? Until then, the always eloquent and insightful David Cook gives us a career update and also his view on what the Season 9 Top 12 are going through right now. This 'Idol' performance sort of seemed to come over of nowhere...It was a late addition to the calendar. We kind of cooked this all together within the last week. I'm excited about it and also a little nervous to be performing such an iconic band's song -- you want to do it well. But I'm looking forward to getting back and seeing everybody on "Idol," as well as the new contestants. You've appeared on the show a couple times since your win, but are you so happy not to be judged each time?More than you know. Tim Urban, one of the current Top 12 finalists, performed your song "Come Back to Me" during Hollywood week. What was that like for you?I saw that, actually. It was cool. I was flattered. Hollywood week is so tough, and I thought he did a great job with the song. He seemed a little nervous, which I probably would have been too. But yeah, I saw the sales numbers go up a little bit from that, so that was very much appreciated. He's helped me pay my bills. If Tim wants to do another one, I wouldn't be opposed. Watching it must have been surreal.I get kind of freaked out watching the episodes, because I remember Hollywood week -- being at the hotel bar, working on my song and thinking, "What am I doing here?" I buddied up with Josiah Leming, Michael Johns, and Carly Smithson all during that week. We would hang out, and just be like, "What is going on?" So since then, I empathize with the people that have had to go through that. What are they going through right now?Man, it's tough. Being this close to the Top 10 and the tour and all that stuff. Ten was a milestone for me. I started out like, "OK, I made 24, now I want to make 12." Once I made 12, I said 10, then I made five and wanted to make three, for the hometown visit, then two and so on. It's tough now, every person that goes home, the bar gets raised a little bit. Once you start getting down to the last few, you just don't know. David, you're someone who really made a name for himself by changing up a lot of the arrangements, yet this season has been getting a lot of criticism for trying -- and failing -- too hard to twist things up.Sometimes I feel like too much emphasis is put on changing the arrangement or changing the vibe of the song. That's not necessarily what you have to do, you just have to make the song your own, whatever that means. For me, what worked is I knew my voice, but it's also about internalizing the song and putting it out there in a way that makes it believable coming out of your mouth. That's the big difference between "Idol" and karaoke. You once made a crack about being a grandfather to these new contestants two seasons on, but Lee Dewyze is someone who can be looked at as a disciple of sorts.Lee's interesting to me, he's got kind of a husky rock voice for sure, it seems like his musical tastes are a little different. I'd be interested in seeing what he does not only in the next few weeks but post-"Idol." That may be jumping the gun a bit, but he's a talented dude, and I think he's definitely heading in the right direction. Anyone else stand out in your mind?I really like Crystal, I think she's got a lot of talent and I'm looking forward to seeing her stretch her boundaries a little bit. I don't know, the people I've gotten into this season aren't on it anymore. I really liked Katelyn Epperly. I thought she was great. If it were up to me, she'd be in the top 12. What about the criticism about this season? A lot of fans are saying it's just not as exciting as previous years.We had criticism too. I saw a random article [recently] that asked, "Has Idol jumped the shark?" It's such a weird argument to make because it's still pulling 24 million to 30 million viewers per week, so you take it all with a grain of salt. I think by bringing Ellen in, the show's different for sure, but I don't know that enough time has gone by to really pass that kind of judgment. I would say we haven't heard much about your record, but you tweet about your progress pretty much nonstop. There's an art to Twitter, don't you think?
There is, man. I do this all the time -- I type something, step back, look at it, then i read it and think, "Who's gonna maybe get [angry about] this?" And if I think enough people will ... I don't tweet it. I try to censor myself a little bit, because my brain sometimes comes up with stuff that has no business being on a public forum. Speaking of words in another context, what are some of your new lyrics about?It was interesting, I kind of write subconsciously and then look back at it, and a lot of the songs are about loss. But not in a hopeless sense. I wrote a song with David Hodges called "Tonight Is on Our Side," and the chorus goes: "So I'm leaving / See you in another life / Still I'm breathing our memories of our last July." On the surface, what I was singing about was young love, high school, the summer before they go off to different colleges and they know they're gonna split up, but they have that night. It's almost like being on that precipice of loss and that sense of calm about it. I haven't deciphered it all yet. Probably a lot is about Adam. [David's brother died of cancer in 2009.] Yeah, but some hopefulness has come out of that situation too. Are you gonna write us some love songs?[Laughs] Right now, I've got a song that I worked on with Kevin Griffin and Jamie Houston called "Fade Into Me." It's a love song, but those are tough for me, because I hate the whole, "Ooh girl, I love you, baby." That doesn't really vibe well with me, so in order to sing a love song, it has to say the same thing in a really different way, and "Fade Into Me" does that, which is really cool. You recorded in London, Stockholm, New York City, all in the dead of winter. Should we be expecting a cold-weather record?Vancouver too, which was surprisingly mild. It was like 55 degrees a month before the Winter Olympics. I've been joking about it. Even on the tour, I remember we hit Long Island when a massive snowstorm started back in February of last year. And then, we didn't get to Canada until October of last year, when it got cold again, then New York, Vancouver, London and Stockholm. Do you feel like you have more freedom to do what you want on this album than the first?In the sense of time, yes. You know, the last record was tough, because a lot of my voice was used in correspondence, through e-mail and iChat and stuff like that. I'm just stoked about being able to go in the studio everyday and really shape this record a little bit more fervently. I think any extra voice in the process has come from having more time to conceptualize an idea or a theme. I knew from Day One what I wanted the second record to sound like and what I wanted to get across, and to be able to have the time to actually implement that has been great. Plus, I learned a lot from going out on the road, and I want this record to have more of a live feel -- to take whoever's listening to it from point A to point B. And hopefully a bunch of places in between. What have you been listening to lately?A lot of Mae, Jimmy Eat World. ... I got the new Massive Attack record, which is really good. It's a little outside of my thought process right now, but i really like it. And I've been listening to a lot of comedy, like Lewis Black and David Cross. So you're looking at a couple months of recording to have it out in the summer.If it were up to me, I wanted it out yesterday. I tell my manager this story all the time. My first record with my band Axion, we rehearsed for a few weeks, went in the studio, cut eight songs in two days, and we had a record. That's how my head is -- let's just get it done and put it out. That's not the best way to do it, obviously, but I get kind of uptight about how long this takes. I want to put a record out just as much as my fans want me to, if not more, because I don't like being in one place for too long. I love being on the road, and I hate routine, so I'm just champing at the bit to get rolling. And in order to do that, I need to get this record out. Any special guests planned for the album?No, but you know what? Consider this my open invitation, anybody that wants to come help on this record, please come help. It'll be fun, I'll buy some beer. -- Shirley Halperin latimesblogs.latimes.com/americanidoltracker/2010/03/catching-up-with-david-cook.html

Cook was awesome tonight. He put everyone on that show to shame, including Orianthi and Ke$ha. So he'll be back for Idol Gives Back? Maybe he can debut a new single then.

That would be great, but April? That's like tomorrow! How is he going to do that when they haven't chosen a producer? Maybe they have it chosen already? Gah.
Anyway, last night did its job I think. He did fine, put it out there to the masses that he has another album coming, etc etc. Nicely played 19.

I think LA Times later talked to Cook at rehearsal for Idol and he said April was mostly wishful thinking. Best case scenario kind of thing. I think maybe IdolTracker tweeted it? But I was told, I didn't see the tweet myself.

But I was told, I didn't see the tweet myself. Someone, it may have been me, asked Shirley during the IdolTracker chat yesterday if he sounded confident about an April single release and she responded that she thought it was more an optimistic date than a confident one. IGB is April 21st, so it is possible he could have a single ready by then.

I think the only way he would premiere his single on IGB is if it was an "inspirational" song. Otherwise, it would just seem self-serving, and I doubt Cook would want to seem that way.

^^ not crazy, I was just being hopeful. Anyway, I agree with soundscene, Cook is too nice a guy to debut anything at IGB.
Ugh, I can't wait to hear his new stuff. Seeing him on TV last night made me so happy :)

Cook was very, very good last night- that's where his magic lies- he needs to lay off the dreary ballads.

A solid performance, and I'm sure he was just thrilled to go out there and have fun with one of the all-time rock classics. But it's a tough song to do anything new with - besides the Stones there are already two definitive covers (Leon Russell and Guns n' Roses).
While he does the ballads so well, the next album definitely needs more uptempo stuff. His first album was good but with all those slow songs, it kinda drags to listen to the whole thing at one sitting.
Stakes are definitely high for this album for Cook to show he can retain a durable fanbase and find his niche on one or more radio formats. The only two albums this year I'm looking forward to more are Kelly Clarkson's and Maroon 5's.

The thing about David is his great performance would be about the same if he was a contestant- that is what we would hear on 'Rolling Stones' night from him- and it alone could have pushed him as one of the frontrunners, so the others should really look at what he did.

Entertainment Weekly: The Music Mix BlogDavid Cook on his sophomore CD: Massive choruses, mile-long catwalks, and...Dolly Parton?David Cook is a busy, busy bee, but one who’s not going to be rushed. The American Idol season 7 champ has been working since January on writing and recording songs for his sophomore album, and while he’s well aware that an Idol results-night performance slot would be the perfect launching pad for a new single, he’s nevertheless more concerned with quality than cross-promotional synergy. We caught up by phone with Cook as he did interviews to promote his work on Idol Gives Back (set to air April 21 at 8 p.m. ET on Fox), and while we’ll cover details of his recent trip to Ethiopia in an upcoming issue of Entertainment Weekly and in a subsequent blog post, we didn’t want to wait to share scoop on what he’s been up to in the studio, and who he’s been doing it with. Read on! Is there a possibility you’ll be debuting a single on Idol before the season is over?Well, we’re working on it, and it’s definitely something I’m cognizant of. I would love to be able to debut a single on Idol this year. But at the same time we certainly don’t want to rush anything. Rest assured, we’re trying very, very hard. I can give a definite maybe at this point. Is it better than a 50-50 chance?It really is a coin flip right now. I would say no, it’s not better than 50-50, but it’s not worse than that either. Any new collaborators you’ve worked with since our last chat in February? Any flights of fancy you’ve gone on for the new album? Last time we spoke you had mentioned wanting to do a song that’s all vocals, no instruments.I’ve been so busy traveling lately that we haven’t gotten to really delve into that too much. In reference to the all-vocals idea, I’ve got one or two songs in the till right now that could work in that direction, but the demos, as such, are instrumental. As for new collaborators, I got a chance to work with Matt Squire (Good Charlotte, 3OH!3) a little bit. Wrote a song with him and Claude Kelly called “Four-Letter Word” that I’m really excited about. Is that a romantic song or an angry song? That title could go either way.It’s actually a little bit of both. So it’s an angry love song. [Laughs.] And who else have you hit the studio with of late?I actually worked on a few songs now with a couple guys from the UK: Jim Irvin and Julian Emery. We did a song called “Paper Heart” and one called “We Believe.” And we just finished a song yesterday called “Alibi.” How would you describe the music you’re making with them?The choruses on all those songs are massive. They’re just massive choruses. And I will say they have pushed me vocally on these demos more than probably anybody else has. I’m definitely hitting high register on the choruses. The choruses are very open, very U2-esque, and the vocals are just up there, which pushes the intensity of them a little bit. Was this a deliberate goal of yours?My goal at the beginning of this was that I wanted to make a record that really, really pushed the concept of dynamic. Really pushed the interplay between loud and soft, the slow and the fast. And to make a record that catered more to the live show, and that had a versatility. To make a record that could be played at a coffee shop with an acoustic guitar, or that could be played with a mile-long catwalk in the middle of Madison Square Garden. I wanted to try to work on the interplay of opposites, I suppose. And by “played in a coffee shop,” you mean “peform on Idolatry,” yes?Exactly! [Laughs.] Don’t let anybody fool you, American public. Idolatry does have a 200-foot catwalk. Totally. Any planned collaborators you’re hoping to work with before it’s all said and done?I’m actually leaving for Nashville next week. I’m gonna write with Zac Maloy, the guy who I wrote “Lie” and “Life on the Moon” with for the last record, and he also wrote “Come Back to Me.” And then I think we’re talking about Ryan Tedder the end of this month or early next month. I think you should write with Dolly Parton when you’re in Nashville. I still love your cover of “Little Sparrow” from the week she mentored on Idol. How genius would that be?You know, I’m not opposed. [Laughs.] We’ll throw you a five-percent songwriter’s credit or something if it works out. music-mix.ew.com/2010/04/09/david-cook-sophomore-cd-american-idol/

This thread is always so slow- where did his fans go? I'm counting on this thread to get leaked songs and stuff when it first appears. He has so much potential.

I don't know where they went, but the board I used to follow is glacially slow too, and the Cook fansite I used to help out on just closed and died-without even telling me. I cannot believe he has an album coming out this summer. There's been absolutely no hype for it whatsoever. I ADORED Cook on Idol, but his album was seriously snooze-worthy. I'm hoping this next album is better.

I ADORED Cook on Idol, but his album was seriously snooze-worthy. I'm hoping this next album is better. I actually loved the debut album... yeah, it's filled with ballads and HAC-esque material... but it's enjoyable, at least for me... It's just that pretty much everyone - even me included - was expecting a rock album, with harder and uptempo songs... and material a little bit more original or ground breaking, like all his AI performances... He's definitely leaning more pop-ish with the sophomore (or at least I'm expecting that because of the confirmed producers), but I'm sure there'll be at least a couple of catchy uptempo rock anthems... it's overdue

He's in between albums. Unless you're some tabloid celeb, there's going to be a lack of buzz while the artist is working on the album. And it sounds like the single could still be a month or two away, so it's a little early to be building buzz for that, especially since they they haven't chosen a single yet.
When the single gets released the fans will start to show again and fansites will become more active.

I cannot believe he has an album coming out this summer. This album is not coming out this summer. I would be shocked if it dropped any earlier than late August. He's still taking about writing, they haven't picked a producer, they don't even have a single. There's nothing to buzz about at the moment. I really, really want to hear what "Four-Letter Word" sounds like. Me too. >:(

To think, Kris Allen will be about this popular in a year. ROFL. At least David Cook had two great songs on his debut -- twice as many as Allen.

This thread is always so slow- where did his fans go? I'm counting on this thread to get leaked songs and stuff when it first appears. He has so much potential. I just saw this... Cook doesn't have many fans that frequent Pulse. Things were pretty combatitive here for a while and people stopped coming. Plus he is nowhere near a pop star and this is a pop leaning board. When he has as a single out I suspect you might see some people start to come back around. I guess I could step up the updating stuff since I'm one of the folks still around. I'll stop being lazy, just for you. To think, Kris Allen will be about this popular in a year. ROFL. At least David Cook had two great songs on his debut -- twice as many as Allen. I like Kris' album. I think he has potential to out chart Cookie with the singles. Hell, he already has!

I think the problem with Cook is that yes, I understand he's between albums right now, but it seems like he's been "between albums" for a VERY long time, and that's because he hasn't had a real TV or radio presence in over a year. It seems like most of his real promo stopped after December 08/Januaury 09. To many people, he's completely fallen off the radar, which is why it's seemed so quiet.
I can't wait for his new album. I'm all for a poppier, "male Kelly Clarkson" sound. I always thought he SHOULD have made that type of album in the first place. Either that or go really hard rock. I don't think the middle ground road worked all that well for him, although some songs off of DCTR are nice.
