Oh Cookie, how I love you soooooooooooo!!

I could be wrong, but I checked "best week ever" and the other top 12 contestants on youtube and only Brooke and Cookie showed up ... which just proves that those two are MADE OF THE AWESOME.

First there was Brooke's: Best Week Ever presents ... Brooke White Stops and Starts the Classics

Now, there is David Cook on "Idol Chit-Chat" being just as hilariously awesome as Brooke. Damn, they would have made the second-best final two EVER!!! (With Cookie winning then too. Yes, yes, even though Brooke is my total awesome favorite, I still think and know that Cookie would have beat her by a zillion votes.)

Man, I'm totally embedding both of these vids behind the cut just for an easy one-step click of double-the-fun laugh-out-loud funnies of Brooke & Cook!

AWESOME!

Yuppers, that song was written for Justin's debut. I believe he recorded it, along with a bunch of others, but like Kelly's original debut album, it was scrapped completely because Kelly (and then Justin) put their foots down and refused to release albums full of AMLT schmaltz. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE AMLT, but yeah, a whole album full? Ugh, I shudder at the thought. (Alas, only one song from either of those scrapped projects was ever leaked -- Justin's "Foolish," which, dangit, I liked!!!)

I think ABMB is up there for me, but "Innocent" might actually be my favorite. I just LOVE it. I'd never heard it before so it really was new to me, and I just adored it. ABMB is probably second, with MotN third -- which is saying something as I adore Michael Crawford, but Cookie nailed it.

No more new icons, so here's an older one.

Wow, really? I'm...actually amazed they COULD refuse -- good for them!! I always got the feeling that if you dared go up against 19E, you'd pay with your career. :x But I suppose they had an advantage in being the first ones out of the gate, before Idol became the cash cow/international phenomenon it is today. :p

"Innocent" might actually be my favorite.

I keep hearing that from DC fans all over the 'Net, but I really didn't care for it during IGB week. Maybe the studio version is better? I know that was always the Jason fans' defense. :p

MotN third -- which is saying something as I adore Michael Crawford, but Cookie nailed it.

Oh God, yes -- as you may have read, the first time I heard the studio version, I nearly drove off the road. :x

LOVE the "WTF" icon, too -- I'm coveting Brooke's top, actually -- so pretty. :) The one from this post has to be older...as Cook is pre-"hawt" makeover. ;p The fact that they were close before then is awesome, too. :D

:goes to DL 'Innocent': (I kinda feel bad that I didn't buy it, so he can't make any money off of my getting it now, but I did buy six more of his songs, including his winning single, so I did contribute something to the David Cook coffers. ;)

Well, they COULDN'T destroy Kelly's career being the winner, but they did Justin's. Yeah.

Oh, are you telling me that you don't have the studio versions of all of his songs? Do I have to hook you up!?!? Seriously. Oh yeah, the live version is meh, but the recorded version is awesome. Quick linkie (http://www.mediafire.com/?9csnh9m22yt) to that for you.

(ETA: Ah you're downloading it. Well, if you haven't yet -- there's a quick link for ya.)

Yeah, that shot is top 12 or something, it is pre-makeover, but I love the look on his face.

I bought the 3 live ones from the finale, I'd already downloaded TTomL. I REALLY want to buy the three semi-finals one because the I-Tunes ones are so much better, but I can't find them. ARRGGHHH! And, of course, you know I bought all of Brooke's. Did you get her CD by chance? It's available on I-Tunes, or Amazon (for the hard copy of it)? It's REALLY good.

I REALLY want to buy the three semi-finals one because the I-Tunes ones are so much better, but I can't find them.

Semi-finals meaning..."Happy Together," "All Right Now" and "Hello?" Does that mega-link of all things DC not have the iTunes versions? I do have the iTunes version of "Hello," if you want it. :D

But I haven't gotten Brooke's CD yet, because I spent all my money on David Cook (and David Archuleta, for my sister. I now have TWO versions of "Imagine," neither of which I can stand. ;p The things we do for family... ;)

Thanks for the link...I've actually been making icons, so I haven't had a chance to DL yet. :)

Ooh, "Hello" would be nice. And no, those are just regular ripped from TV recordings there, sigh.

When you can, get Brooke's. It's really good. And unlike Cookie, her CD SOUNDS like the Brooke we know from the show (for the most part ... it wasn't her choice to "Dream On," she didn't want to do that one). In Cookie's case, it was like he was going for straight classic Rock, when he has more in his arsenal ... which we saw on the show. I'm hoping his album will showcase that.
