It’s a big world out there with so many twitters and tweets and faces and tubes and blogospheres, and I’m but one meaningless one in many millions, but for whatever it’s worth, I’m throwing my “Reflections on This Mystery” out to the ether to land where it may, or may not, as the case may be.

I’m an old lady. I turn 50 this year. I watch my 90-yr-old mother, and I know in my heart that I am far from old, but I know that to the under-30 crowd, I’m ancient. I remember. I was in the under-30 crowd not so long ago.

So last Spring, I developed a fascination with someone I watched on TV, which was an extremely unusual event. Not at first, he grew on me. I didn’t vote for him until he sang “Little Sparrow”, and even then I did it reluctantly. At the end of the day though, when it came right down to it, I voted for him in the final 320 times. Okay, I’m sure that lots of people voted for him more than that, but really, is that anything any self-respecting, almost 50-year-old woman should be doing? And then I made all my friends who didn’t watch AI watch the episodes I taped on my DVR. Worse yet, I watched them over and over myself, especially when I was feeling down. (They always cheered me up...)

This was only the beginning, as I signed up for DCO and and this site, and pre-ordered his CD on Amazon as soon as I could, then waited with childlike anticipation until it appeared.

As soon as the tour was announced, I went scouting for my opportunity to see him in person, but at that time there were no scheduled dates for anywhere near me. So a friend and I journeyed from Cleveland to Niagara Falls to see him, an unforgettable trip all around, since I had never seen Niagara Falls before either. I’ve since been to see him in Akron, the day after his brother’s funeral (God bless him), and now I have 3rd row seats to see him for my 50th birthday in August. (Nice of him to schedule that just for my birthday, wasn’t it?)

In the meantime, of course, I frequently visit DCO (I posted this 'essay' on that site, too) and this site to keep up on the latest news. I haven’t liked everything he’s done, but that’s okay, he has the right to be human like the rest of us.

But when it comes to the websites, there is one thing that is quite obvious on both of them. It’s crystalline clear that I am not the only crazy person, or even the craziest person, when it comes to DCO. (In this context, that means 'David Cook Obsession'. One friend joked that DC is my Higher Power in life, which was a funny joke, but at least I’m sane enough to know that isn’t true! )

So why are we all crazy? It’s been a mystery to me for myself, and I wonder about others, too. Why are we all so in love with him?

Okay, I’m not dead yet, and believe it or not, no matter the appearances, I feel 25 inside, so the most obvious reason is sheer magnetic attraction. (And he is a year older than my oldest son – that’s the rule, you know, you can’t date anyone younger than your oldest child...)

But that’s not really it. There’s his music, of course. I have read comments in several places that his music is “just generi-rock”, so what’s the big deal about, but personally, I consider that statement bordering on the ridiculous. And don’t get me wrong, I love his music. I’ve listened to his CD more times than I can count, and that doesn’t even count watching the AI reruns I taped!

But I don’t think that’s all of it either. There’s his tremendous stage presence – his live performances certainly put that “generi-rock” slur to rest (although I have to say that I think his CBTM TV performances were lackluster at best, sorry, just my opinion).

But I don’t think that’s all of it either. So here’s my real theory. A while back, I read what I thought was a very profound article about the Susan Boyle phenomenon. It went something like this:

"But there's something else Susan Boyle awakens in us as we watch her come out of her shell: our own selves. Who among us does not move through life with the hidden sense, maybe even quiet desperation, that we are destined for more? That underneath our ordinary exterior lies an extraordinary soul? That given the right opportunity, the right stage, the right audience, we would shine as the stars we truly are?"

"It's easy to admire Susan. But it's far more interesting to be transformed by her. 'There is grace,' a friend recently wrote to me, 'in being molded by your own gifts.' To allow yourself to be molded by your own gifts takes courage. You have to be willing to stand there, exposed and authentic, while the audience rolls their eyes at you and sneers, expecting failure. And then, of course, you have to fail, laugh or cry, and keep going until, one day, they stop laughing and start clapping."

Wow. "Who among us does not move through life with the hidden sense... that we are destined for more?" Who among us does not hope that maybe somehow, in some way, we are something more than ordinary?

Wow. “There is grace in being molded by your own gifts…" To have the courage to allow yourself to be molded by your own gifts...

Wow. “To stand there, exposed and authentic.”

Of course, DC is not a frumpy, middle-aged, British old maid, but isn’t that what he did? Stand there, exposed and authentic? From the first time he touched my heart with “Little Sparrow”, to the time he broke my heart as he held back the tears after his stunning rendition of “The World I Know”, and everything in between, he has symbolized everything I value most in life – heart, soul, authenticity, imagination, creativity. Everything I hope in my heart every day is in me.

And so, he has inspired me to be a better me, or to at least look for that nugget of Truth that exists deep down inside of all of us, no matter how large or small it may be.

And that’s my answer to the mystery. No matter how I say it, it still sounds crazy, and while I fantasize that someday he will miraculously pick me out of the crowd and validate all of this for me, I think it’s more likely that he’d just look at me weird (you know that funny look he has) and go running away as fast as he could! I couldn’t put it into words in three minutes anyway, so I don’t stay around for the meet-and-greet. I’m just one in many millions to him, after all.

Now back to this golden age of communication and technology. Most of the time, it all just makes me feel dizzy and insignificant, all the opinions, all the blogs, all the twits (or is that a tweet, whatever that is?), all the jargon… I’m sure I’ll soon be left behind. What the heck is an avatar? How do you embed a link? What would you even embed a link to? Heck, I couldn’t even upload a picture for my profile successfully!

So I throw this essay out there knowing that in the grand scheme of things, it will likely slip through the vast world of information technology totally unnoticed. Who wants to read the equivalent of someone’s extremely self-indulgent English college term paper? Certainly not me!

But I put it out there anyway, because you know what? Even in a world where I am insignificant, I get to count.

I stand here, exposed and authentic, and I count to me. David Cook reminded me.

I hope you count to you, too.

..hi Queenie13!!!!!!!!

..it's funny, I was coming on here right now to post a question, then I saw this subject-- and it actually all ties in!!!!!!

..a week or two ago, I started a new post entitled "..I Can't Believe..."

...I checked it later that day and saw that there were responses, I didn't have time right then to sit down and read and reply unfortunately...

..I finally had some time to myself a couple days later to sit down and catch up on everything on the site and read all the replies to the topic I started.. only, when I did, I found that my topic had a "MOVED" next to it, and now showing ZERO replies!!! ..and I know there were many replies... when you click on it, you get an error message.. I tried to find it elsewhere but couldn't.. I have sent 3 emails to the moderators asking about this, but with no response

..so I was coming on here right now to ask everyone if they could help me! ..if anyone could explain to me why it has the "MOVED" next to it.. and if it has been moved, WHERE is it, and why it says zero responses when I know there were responses, and why when you click on it you just keep getting an error message... !!!!!! ..basically, WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED, LOL

..because I was soooooooo looking forward to reading the responses.. because I really poured my heart out in it, and was really sharing with everyone, and was really wanting and needing to have people share back with me and respond and give their input and their points of view.. so I'm saddened and dismayed at what has happeened

..ANYWAY, I don't know if you had seen my thread, but how it all ties in to your post here, finally LOL ..is that it was basically saying a very similar thing! ..very similar!

..sooooooo.. I have fulfilled two things here!!!!!!!! ..have written ya Queenie13, and have in a roundabout way now expressed my frustration with what happened to my topic and asked EVERYONE to PLEEAAASSSSEEEE help me with that and explain it to me!!!!!!! ..and hopefully FIX it!!!!!!!

LOL!!!!!!!

..thank you everyone, thank you for letting me kinda vent in an area there, THANK YOU SO MUCH for any and all responses to this post, and thank you alll soooooo very much for your responses to the other thread!!!!!!! ..wish desperately I could have seen them!!!!!!!!!

What a Gift (what a nice name )

Sorry to hear that you actually did get lost in the ethernet underworld! I hope that they find you soon. Looking forward to reading your other thread when they finally find it someday... Hopefully I'll be technologically skilled enough to find it... We'll see...

In the meantime, hang in there - I know it's really, really disappointing to not be able to read responses when you pour out your heart. Just remember that you matter anyway, and no one can take that away...

..hi again Queenie!!!!!!

..I wanted to address you in a separate post as well, because the first one was more me gettin' all that out about that thread I had started and whatever might have happened to it, *venting* a bit, LOL ..and asking everyone to help me with it and explain it to me, and expressing my gratitude for their responses, and frustration that I wasn't able to read them...

...wanted to now respond to your actual post in this one!!!!!!

..when I said your post here, and mine from a week or two ago were similar, they are in some ways== I, too, was lamenting about whether or not I was CRAZY... what the heck was wrong with me.. all that kind of stuff.. ..they were similar in that way...

..I'm not about to turn 50, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, by the way!!!!!!
..but I am just a bit older than Beautiful David- in my later 30's.. he being only 26, I feel like a Gramma or cradle-robber or something!!!!!! ..LOL which I know is ridiculous, but there ya go ..that's how I seem to feel sometimes

...but anyway, was expressing how I could not wrap my brain around this, could not figure out what has happened to me.. have NEVER done this before, not even when I was a TEENAGER or anything!!!!!! ..am a grown woman, with grown-up responsibilities, bills to pay, health worries, fears and worries about all my loved ones, worries about the future.. in my later 30's.. yet... here I am!!!!!! ..ever since late-Winter/Early Spring of last year, have seem to have been *overtaken* by something???!!! ..my whole soul and existence and being just seems to be... *enchanted* ... by something... someone... some kind of magic and beauty just seem to have gotten into my soul and being, and just taken up residence there..

..LOL, am wishing my original post was on here somewhere, 'cuz I already poured it all out in that one, and feel like I'm too weak now to pour it all out again, LOL

..but anyway... ..well yep yep.. this man.. that I don't even know.. that isn't 'in my life'... that I've met only once.. well I find myself thinking about him every day.. all day.. talk about him to everyone.. tell them about his accomplishments, beaming with pride like he were my own husband or child or something... worry about him.. Pray for him and his family.. look forward like a wide-eyed, excited 5-year-old to any and all of his upcoming appearances.. to seeing him.. to hearing him.. to watching him.. listen to his music every day and night.. find myself leafing through the pages of the magazines at the Wal-Mart checkout, hoping so desperately to find even some tiny picture or morsel of a story about him!!!!!

....WHAT the....???!???!????!!!!!!!

..I'm a grown-a$$$ed woman!!!!!!! ..with GROWN-A$$$ED responsibilities!!!!!!!

...am I *** CRAZY ***???!???!!!!!!!!

..what is WRONG with me??????!!!!!!!!!!!!

....ummmmmmmmmm... okay..... takes deep breath... uhhhhhhhhhh... stepping away from the computer now...

LOLOL!!!!!!! I need a drink..

[font="Tahoma"][/font][size="4"][/size]
Wow am I glad I found you all. I just decided to come online and look for David Cook websites. I signed up a few minutes ago on here and this was my first topic I've read.

I have been wondering now for about a month, what is wrong with me! LOL I have to say I liked David during the Idol. I was a big Daughtry fan and kind of felt like David was some what like him. I had hoped he would go far, especially after he sang "Hello". I put that song on my MYSPACE page and listened to it all the time. I voted for him in the end to win. Since he won Idol, I hadn't really kept up with him. I heard about his brother passing and empathized with him since I lost my brother back in 2005.

So about a month ago, I was driving from Sioux Falls, SD to St. Louis, MO. I drove through Blue Springs, MO and saw the signs "Home of David Cook". I started thinking about him and couldn't stop thinking about him for the whole trip. Once I got home I started looking for any info I could find about him. I bought his CD, put DC Flair on my Facebook, and tried to read something about him online every day. I even looked up his concert tour and saw that he is playing about an hour from me in August. I'm trying to figure out a babysitter for my 3 kids, yes I have THREE kids and I'm 32 yrs old AND married! LOL I told my husband I want to go to the concert and he's like, "Um, ok". LOL I have NEVER been to a concert before and NEVER been this "crazy" about a celebrity. In fact I usually hate all the celebrity "stuff". There is just something about him and it's nice to know it's not just me.

He makes us smile more than grimace.

QUEENIE 13, YOU ARE NOT AN OLD LADY. I WILL NOT DISCLOSE MY AGE, BUT I AM OLD ENOUGH TO BE DAVIDS GRANDMOTHER AND I CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY I AM SO OBSESSED WITH HIM!! I STARTED TO FOLLOW HIM ON AI BECAUSE HE IS FROM NEARBY BLUE SPRINGS. FOR SOME REASON HE GREW ME. IT COULDN'T BE HIS AMAZING VOICE AND MUSICAL TALENT, GREAT PERSONALITY AND HUMOR AND WONDERFUL GOOD LOOKS!!!! OVER THE WEEKEND I MET SOMEONE FROM BLUE SPRINGS DOWN AT THE LAKE OF THE OZARKS AND HE SAID HIS BROTHER WENT TO SCHOOL WITH DAVID. SO I ASKED HIM WHAT HE WAS LIKE AND HE SAID HE WAS NICE AND EVERYONE LIKED HIM. THAT MADE MY DAY! THEN WE WENT PAST BLUE SPRINGS ON OUR WAY HOME AND I SAW THE SIGN. MY DAUGHTER IN LAW AND I GOT TO GO TO THE CONCERT IN KC BUT I AM DYING TO GO TO ANOTHER ONE (ALTHOUGH THIS TIME I WILL WEAR EARPLUGS)!!

Oh I just love this part of this site! People just like me here pouring their hearts out, trying to explain David. Some people just don't get it. I am older than Queenie, 53 this year and am happy to announce my upcoming 3rd DC concert here in Cleveland. (4 concerts if you count AI 07 tour) I can't afford to follow him around like some have, which is great if you can do it. I work and have other responsibilities. But, my husband has now accepted that his wife has DCO. He laughs about it and I try to explain to people what is is. Yes, the looks He can make me melt, the music, I never get tired of it. It's some kind of aura around him that radiates. I was so fortunate to meet him at Seneca. Just him and Andy playing cards. He was so gracious and laughed when I told him "he just didn't know how much this meant to me" meeting him. I asked for a hug, he was so sweet. When I saw him after the LCCC show I just said hi and let the others get their autographs. He was so busy. So, being older, I hope I get to see how well he's going to do in the years ahead. I'll tell people to play his songs and a few Beatles songs at my funeral. I just love the man.

thank you to all of you who listen and know we are all together in this Avalanche called David

Hey indi28, are we living in a parallel universe, or right around the corner? Sounds like you live near Cleveland - I'm in Berea. But I went from here to see him at Seneca, too! Is that the Lorain County Community College you went to? I was thinking about going to see him at the House of Blues in September, but my 3rd row tickets (did you hear me say 3rd row?) for August were a little too steep to justify more tickets in September. Unless my son in Iraq comes home - then I'll definitely take him for the show. He'll just roll his eyes and bear with my persistent DCO with a smile, he's sensitive like that...

And what a gift - I just love this - "my whole soul and existence and being just seems to be... *enchanted* ... by something..." I have a card on my wall that says, "Enchantment lives..."

And it does, doesn't it?

You all are great, and it is definitely nice to know I'm not in this Avalanche alone... (And that I'm not old, which I myself don't believe, but ask my twenty-something kids, and you might get a different opinion...)

..WOW y'all are GREAT!!!!!!!!

..I'm soooooo glad to be able to see this thread, and read these responses.. YAYYYYYY!!!!!

..and what wonderful responses they are..

..you really DO sometimes start wondering if there is something wrong with ya.. is this normal.. do people think you're NUTS.. is this okay.. is it strange.. but to read that soooo many others have been living in this kind of 'David State' since last year, just as you have, sure makes you feel MUCH less crazy...!

..Queenie-- I hadn't seen your response to me before I posted my 2nd post! ..just wanted to say THANK YOU-- saying 'you matter.. no one can ever take that away.. " ..that is a very sweet, caring thing to say.. ..you sound like a *wonderful* lady-- and I want you to know I truly do understand the things you were expressing in your 'essay'.. your thoughts and feelings have NOT gotten lost out in this technological universe, and they sure are MUCH appreciated..

..oh you were talking about my name-- you know, that just seemed like the perfect choice for me immediately, because they were three words that I have kept saying *continually* since last year!!!!! ..."WHAT A GIFT he is" .."..oh my Gosh what an unbelievable GIFT he is to all of us.." LOLOL!!!!! ..that's even one thing I told him when I was so Blessed and fortunate enough to meet him.. my Mom, who was 69 at the time, turning 70 July 1st, was with me too-- she is just as crazy about him as I am!!!!!! ..she ADORES him.. can't get enough of him.. now how's THAT as an example of how the magic that is David just transcends age and generations!!! ..well anyway, one of the things I told him was, "..I just HAVE to tell you this.. you are such a GIFT to all of us.. I just have to tell you- you have brought soooooo much JOY to all of us!!!!!!!! .. " .. his response was that famous.. "AWWWWWWWW!!!!!!" ..that he has done so many times!!!! ..y'all know what I'm talking about..? ..he just really, really looked at me, he looks you right in the eyes, *listens* to you.. genuinely does care.. anyway, LOL, looked right at me and did that beautiful trademark .."..AWWWWWWWWW!!!!!.. " ..and said "..thank you! ..WOW! ..and got kind of wide-eyed and smiling that beautiful smile of his and said "Wow" again! ..and then, as he was still loking right in my eyes, said "Thank you so much" again, and "..that really means a lot to me to hear that.. " ..mind you, I was holding his hand in both my hands that whole time!!!! ..oh holy CR@@@PPPPPPP!!!!!!!! ...everytime I re-live the events of that night, I just... well I just.. my Gosh I just turn into a BASKETCASE..!!!! ..a *happy* baseketcase, but still a basketcase..
..OH MY GOSH!!!!!! ..I just still can't wrap my head around the fact that it all happened.. don't think I ever will.. I have never told the story of when I met him on here yet.. and there is much more to it, too!!!!!! ..will have to post about the whole beautiful meeting sometime soon..

..oh Holy CR@@PPPPPP!!!!! ..I have lost all control of my faculties now..

..is it too early for a drink..? ...perhaps too LATE now..?

LOL!!!!!!!

..hi marya, welcome!!!!!!


..I am soooooo glad that you found this site-- it is WONDERFUL, the people here are so wonderful and sweet, and you really feel welcome.. and .. *safe* here.. safe to express all your emotions and feelings..

...sooooo glad to hear you have 'reconnected' with David! ..you driving where you were.. and seeing that sign.. beginning to think about him.. well, it was all meant to be, wasn't it.. ..and I hope you have been enjoying 'catching up' on him!!!!! ..it sure sounds like ya have been.. !!!

..I am so very sorry to hear about your brother.. I cannot even imagine... I am the only girl in the family to two older brothers.. I just can't even imagine.. I am so sorry..

..now you FIND THAT BABYSITTER and you GO TO THAT CONCERT!!!! ..do you hear me young lady???!!!!! ..DON'T MAKE ME COME OVER THERE!!!!!!!!!

Thanks so much for the welcome! I have to admit I'm still feeling weird about opening up about all this. LOL!!! Yes it was definitely meant to be when I drove through Blue Springs and saw the sign. Although now I can't seem to concentrate or think about anything else so maybe it wasn't so good.

Losing my brother was truly one of the hardest things ever. We were very close and he was my only brother. I have been wearing a bracelet with his name on it since he passed away and kind of feel a slight connection to David because of this. I know it's strange.

Anyway, hopefully I'll get a chance to read and update on this site often, but with 3 young kids it can be tough sometimes. My husband is over in Saudi right now and won't be back until mid July. It's kind of tough finding "me" time. I'm planning on asking my parents next week if they will watch the kids for the concert in Aug. I am so jealous, (but happy for them too ) of all the people that have gone to numerous concerts and actually gotten to meet and touch him. I have really enjoyed looking at all the fan pictures. He just seems so amazing!

"Yes it was definitely meant to be when I drove through Blue Springs and saw the sign. Although now I can't seem to concentrate or think about anything else so maybe it wasn't so good. "

LOL!!!!!!!! ..marya. you just described just about EVERYONE here!!!!!!!! LOLOL!!!!!!!!

..and I am soooooo glad you are asking your parents to watch the kids, so you can go to the concert!!! ..you absolutely DESERVE it, and if they aren't able to.. well.. DON'T GIVE UP!!!!!!!
..if I lived anywhere near you, *I* would come watch 'em for ya.. ..WAIT..that means *I* wouldn't be able to go to that conert!!!!!!!! ..hmmmmmmmm.... have to think about that one now..
..and it doesn't sound strange at all, that you feel that connection that you do between you and David..it sure makes complete sense to me, Bless your heart ...

..Goodness, and your husband is in Saudi??!!!! ..wow that has GOT to be so hard.. I can't even imagine.. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH..

..you have a WONDERFUL day, and we hope to see you on here when you are able to sneak away for a bit of 'me' time!!!!!!!

Well guess what everyone???? I talked to my mom today and she said she'd watch my kids so I can go to the concert!!! I'm so excited! I'm not buying tickets until my husband gets back though. He'll be back in about 3 weeks and the concert isn't until the end of Aug. His job is always sending him off different places and I don't want to buy nonrefundable tickets if we end up not being able to go. I'm one step closer though, so that's exciting.

My mom was quite confused at where I was going and why. She has no idea who he is and never heard me talk about him. LOL I've never been to a concert before and never asked her to watch my kids. I think my husband is a little confused too, but he's just happy to be able to go somewhere with me, without the kids.

Anyway, thanks for letting me share my good news. Hopefully nothing will come up with my husbands job and I'll be able to buy the tickets in a couple weeks. YAY!!!!!!!!

..marya, WOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
...GREAT news YAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

..yep yep, one giant step closer!!!!!!!

..it's gonna happen, I can FEEL it!!!!!!!!!

..and it will be your very first concert, and OH MY what a concert that is to have as your FIRST concert WOOHOOO!!!!!!!!

..my Gosh, I was *mesmerized* by him when I got to see him here in Phoenix last July 1st, opening night of the AI tour.. oh my GOSH.. I will never get over it

..but I await with baited breath, with TOTAL ANXIOUS NERVOUSNESS, at an announcement for an ARIZONA DATE!!!!!!! ..WHAT the?!?!??!?!!!!! ..I am starting to get REALLLYYYY worried!!!!!!

what beautiful thoughts words yall - D.C. is awesome to us also cause he reminds us of what was that we loved so much it was about the MUSIC - for us older peeps and what can still happen in our youth - nothing is out of our grasp - he renewed that in all of us - in this crazy world we live in - he showed us I believe people can say what they want but he showed us purity and honesty and that family and friends are still important - so that is my take on it and congrats on all going to concerts - I have only been to one so far and yes he is Awesome - he will always be the greatest American Idol - so many people try to cut him down - but thats what happens when you become important to so many they try to tear you down to build themselves up - so we can keep on thinking and believe that he is SPECIAL - he is - this was a great forum by the way....

well i love him o much . i have TMI to ecsplain why!

Somehow I just came across this essay! These are some of the things my friends have discussed regarding our love for Dave. I remember hearing a friend of mine say "he has made me a better person". I asked her to explain what she meant then I have since said the same. Some of my friends just don't understand and it is so nice to be with people who do. Thankyou for writing this as it gives me a new perspective for my OBCESSION!

(quote thing wouldnt work xD)
"–heart, soul, authenticity, imagination, creativity. Everything I hope in my heart every day is in me.
And so, he has inspired me to be a better me, or to at least look for that nugget of Truth that exists deep down
inside of all of us, no matter how large or small it may be."

def. hit it on the head there!! I love David because of all of those things, but also because of the courage and confindence he seems to give off and share with the rest of us.

Actually today, I was in guitar class preparing for a show case and put in a higher group of people and was lacking confidence in my abilites and it seemed my friend (who I actually taught from the beg.) was getting better then me (she did have other experience in other istruments but, still) then I remembered that he had said that the toughest obstacle in his life was being confindent enough in himself to chase his dreams of being a musician. That def. helped me perk up.

Hes helped me through some really though times aswell(I wont go into detail), always (when it seems impossible) cheering me up or giving me hope.

It sounds extremely cliche but he really has inspired me to do what I really want in life, to follow my dreams.
Thats just a tiny peice of why we love his so much, theres his genuine kindness & soul and so much more that is completely undescribable.


"And that’s my answer to the mystery. No matter how I say it, it still sounds crazy, and while I fantasize that someday he
will miraculously pick me out of the crowd and validate all of this for me, I think it’s more likely that he’d just look
at me weird (you know that funny look he has) and go running away as fast as he could! I couldn’t put it into words in
three minutes anyway, so I don’t stay around for the meet-and-greet. I’m just one in many millions to him, after all"

I think we all feel that way ! Really wishing that just someway, somehow he would pick you apart from the crowd, but deep inside eventually accepting that you are just one of the thousands who wish the same. However if you ever do decide to go to the meet and greets I think he will pleasently suprise you! When you meet him, he takes his time and really does appreciate you being there and gives every fan a sincere welcome and ackowledgement. He even knows fans that frequently go to concerts by name! Most other celbs. really wouldnt take the time to do anything near to that, he just amazes me. No doubt he has his feet firmly planted on the ground and knows how to make someones day(and always willing to do so)

again theres so much more to why we love him, that for the most part is hard to describe!

(I know theres probably a lot of spelling mistakes ...or scente. that make no sense , its late here and Im not the most aware person today )
