David talks about debut CDIt's after midnight, but the shoot for David Cook's first music video, ''Light On,'' is just beginning in the middle of a football field at Los Angeles' Valley College. Director Wayne Isham is bragging on Cook's personality to his cameraman and other assembled crew members. ''I loved meeting you yesterday,'' gushes Isham, who has worked with many of the biggest names in the business over the last 20 years, ''because you're the nicest guy.'' Cook demurs upon hearing that praise, telling everyone, ''Give me 15 minutes and I'm gonna be the biggest a--hole you ever met.'' (...) ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Do you ever go online and sample the insane, intense fan scrutiny there?DAVID COOK: ''There is this one video on YouTube that I've gotten into a habit of...well, not a habit, but I've [watched] it a couple of times. It's these early-teen girls watching the finale, and they filmed themselves, and they're all Archuleta fans, which is fun. My name gets announced [as the winner], and the girls just lose it. It's painful to watch in that sense, because obviously I don't want to feel like I'm upsetting anybody. But these girls said something that's so funny, to me: ''How could they vote for that guy? He doesn't even shave!'' I love that. Because to me that encapsulated everything about people getting into the show. They embraced the littlest things about each person. I find that so interesting, from a sociological level. The things that some people gravitate toward me for are the things that other people just shun. You've got to take it with a grain of salt. But I love that everybody cares enough to have an opinion. Loved, hated, but never ignored, I guess is how I look at it. Complete article here

"But I still feel like that awkward musician; I think I always will. That's a huge component of me staying kind of humbled and grounded about the whole thing: I get the flimsiness of it. I get that it could all go away. I mean, fame is fleeting....But I'm at peace. I've got guys that I'm playing with that I love to death, and I'm playing music that I think we all really get into, and as long as we've got that and a place to play, I'm good."

The two finalists of American Idol's seventh season, David Cook and David Archuleta, are giving fans the first opportunity to listen to their complete debut albums on Clear Channel Radio's Sneak Peek program. American Idol's seventh season winner, David Cook, lets audiences get the first taste of his 12-track debut self-titled album, which features his top twenty single, "Light On," and possible next single, "Declaration." His Sneak Peek is being offered on-demand on over 190 Clear Channel Radio web sites before its November 18th release date. Last year's 17 year old runner-up David Archuleta will also debut his self-titled album via Sneak Peek. The preview includes his single, "Crush," which debuted at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Archuleta's Sneak Peek can also be heard first on over 190 Clear Channel Radio web sites, days before the album's November 11th launch date. WHEN: David Archuleta's Sneak Peek is available now, with David Cook's going live on November 13th. WHERE: www.iheartmusic.com WHY: American Idol's last season had the highest recorded total votes in the show's history and the two David's were never in the bottom two or three before the finale, so these two albums must be worth hearing! WHO: Clear Channel Radio's Online unit.
