David Cook hit a few balls before the Mets played the San Diego Padres at Shea Stadium in New York last week. The 25-year old American Idol champ was joined by fellow American Idol finalist Carly Smithson and also got to hang out with a couple of the Mets players. David also had the honor of throwing out the first pitch of the game. David said of the experience “I am a Kansas City sports fan, but I’m a baseball fan, more than anything. To be able to come to Shea, with all the history and the fact there’s going to be a new stadium next season, is really cool.”
David Cook was recently spotted at the Jonsson Cancer Center Foundation’s ‘Taste for a Cure’ event which was held at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, California on Saturday, most likely to show his support for his brother Adam who is battling brain cancer. Jimmy Kimmel hosted the event while the American Idol champ took the stage to perform at the annual fundraiser. At the event, David confirmed to E! that he is still with fellow Idol alum Kimberly Caldwell saying “Email, text, all of that is pretty much going to be my life for the next few months.”
American Idol champ David Cook, along with the rest of the Idol finalists, was at CNN studios to get interviewed on Larry King Live. David was asked if he felt relieved that the whole experience was over to which he replied “Yes, in a way. The whole show, the eight-month process from first audition to this, it feels like you’re holding your breath a little bit. And I’ve been asked a few times why I cried at the end. And for me, that was just an exhale, to step back and really think about what just happened. It’s pretty heavy. So, yes, I am relieved, because, now I get to move on to the next phase of all this, which is a record and a tour and all the good stuff.”
Fresh off of her second consecutive win as Top Female Vocalist at the Academy of Country Music Awards which was held at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas on Sunday, it has been confirmed that Carrie Underwood will be returning to the American Idol stage to perform on Wednesday night’s season 7 finale. The 25-year old will perform her current smash hit ‘Last Name’. She joins the Jonas Brothers, who will perform their hit song ‘SOS’, as performers on the show which will determine which David – the young Archuleta or the phenomenal Cook – will be crowned this year’s American Idol.
