David Cook

I am not a fan of American Idol. My co-workers are crazy about it. I hear them talk about it for hours... the contestants, their performances, the comments of the judges (especially Simon's), who made it to the top 3, who were in the bottom 3, and who was evicted.

One night, while dining in our pantry, the show was being played on TV. I had to admit that I got quite interested in the show. I was impressed that Mariah Carey herself mentored the contestants. That night, they are to sing Mariah Carey's songs. I was a bit impressed with their performances, until it got to David Cook. Boy, I wasn't just impressed, I was crazy about him. He has an air of romance in his voice, and on his looks...he sang the song "You Will Always Be My Baby" so beautifully and so passionately I think it was even better than the original. From then on, I became his fan.
