I love DC and wanted to know if there are any Grandma's out there who feel the same. His voice is amazing and he's so gracious. My grandchildren love him too. He's brought rock back into my life and I love him for that. Could hardly sit still during his part in the AI tour....found myself jumping up and down, dancing in my seat and waving my arm like I did in the 60's and recent Scorpion Concert. Can't wait for his new cd. He brought AI to a whole new level this year. CONGRADULATIONS DC....you even got GRANDMA'S ON THEIR FEET!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAHOO!

[Jenney]

We rocked to the Beatles, Stones, Jefferson Airplane, Hendrix, Doors, the Who, and on it goes.... now we are united in our admiration for David Cook! David, you've made rock music come alive for us again and for that we thank you very much!!!!!

Yep, grandma here too. There are a few of us on the forum here! We flower children from the 60's are rockin' grandmas now, LOL.

Happy to hear I'm not the only Grandma on this site. You're right! We ARE rockin' Grandmas! I can't sit still when he sings...even if it's a ballad. Who cares what his age is...he's a brilliant singer, knows how to entertain and makes us move. I can't wait until he puts out his own cd in Nov. I like that...ROCKIN GRANDMAS!!! LOL

[silverlady]

I love DC and wanted to know if there are any Grandma's out there who feel the same. His voice is amazing and he's so gracious. My grandchildren love him too. He's brought rock back into my life and I love him for that. Could hardly sit still during his part in the AI tour....found myself jumping up and down, dancing in my seat and waving my arm like I did in the 60's and recent Scorpion Concert. Can't wait for his new cd. He brought AI to a whole new level this year. CONGRADULATIONS DC....you even got GRANDMA'S ON THEIR FEET!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAHOO!

I'm a Grandmother of 2 and I love David Cook! I will be at the AI concert in Manchester, NH screaming for him like a teenager and I'm 52!

[Lou Piner]

Mother of three boys and Grandma of two beautiful grandsons.

I love David Cook!!! He is a real talent, and I am excited to be able to follow his career. I was married to a Rock-n-roll musician for 34 years so it is in my blood. Age has nothing to do with the love of music and great talent. I think that David has a chance to be the best Idol ever!!!!

I am going to the KC show on the 30th of August and am really looking forward to it. This will be the third AI tour that I have gone to. Went to see Season four in Des Moines with Carrie Underwood and Bo Bice and last years in Omaha Nebraska. The year that I went to see Bo he was not there because of his hospitalization, but the show was very good. Last years show was great and this years should be the best as I think the talent overall was better then it has been since season two.

[Grandmajoyce]

I'm a mother of three and grandma of three beautiful girls.

David hit me like a ton of bricks. His voice is amazing, he's cute as a button and his love and caring for his family stole my heart!

As someone said, we grew up in the'60s, I'm 56, and know what a true rocker is. David is the whole package and I look forward to listening to him for many years.

I'm going to the concert on July 31 in Newark, NJ and I can't wait. This is my first Idol concert and I am really looking forward to it. I probably will act like a fool but I don't care! I'm bringing my 11 year old granddaughter with me and she is very excited, I even bought her a red shirt to wear so she has on David's color.

I haven't been looking forward to a concert this much since I saw The Beatles in '65 and '66 at Shea!

Grandmajoyce {my forum name}

[cookie581]

YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy to hear there are more grandmas on this site. Rock & Roll never leaves your blood. I'm 64 and have 2 grandsons and a granddaughter. For those of you who haven't seen the tour yet you're in for a great show....of course, David was fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!! He signed autographs after the show and this grandmas was right there in line. LOL

I hope we get lots of grandmas for DC..........he needs to know that he's a joy to ppl of all ages. He can sing songs in any genre and yes, he is cute as a button.

Grandmas for DC

[Stef C]

Im not a grandma (im 17 so that would be scary!) but my mum is and she listens to DC ALOT. As much as she hates to admit it.

Its amazing how one artist can enchant such a wide age group

Not a grandma, but sure old enough to be one! Love this guy...no, totally OBSESSED with this guy!
It's becoming a sickness. The upside? Well, I'm a full-blown rocker again and it feels so great! I've really missed it (that's what kids will do to ya) . He's has changed my life. My soul has crawled out from under the depression rock that's it's been hiding under since my husband died a long time ago. I have alot to thank DC for, I only wish I could thank him in person. I don't think he has the slightest clue of what he has done for some of us. What is it about him? There's been plenty of smart, sexy, talented guys that have passed through our lives that we enjoyed, but never truly LOVED!.... I think it's his soul....I actually feel his soul when I look into his beautiful eyes. I have tickets to two of his concerts coming up. One I'll be going to alone! It'll be bittersweet though to see him and not be able to talk to him or touch him. I'll just be an old lady that he won't even notice. That's the part that hurts. How did I get myself into this predicament? Everything in my life is better again, but my heart aches at the same time.

Any "cougars" out there with my same problem, please feel free to e-mail me at Cooked.and.Stoked@gmail.com Would love to hear that I'm not the only one out there that went too far over DC.

I agree with you, it is his soul. I am amazed that someone so young could care for people the way he does. His love for his mother and brothers is so evident and he doesn't hide it as so many people his age will do.

He cares about the other contestants feelings and will step back so they can have their turn in the lime light.

He is quite a young man!

Hi Jenney, Silverlady, Lou Piner, Grandma Joyce, Stef C (thanks for representing your grandma) and Cook & Stoked (pretend he's your adoptive grandson)....

Since we're all old enough (except Stef C - but you're very thoughtful to represent your grandma) we have experienced a lot of emotions, disappointments, thrills and excitements in our lives and yet as we get older we realize that we still are the same ppl inside...it's just the exterior parts that change LOL. I think David represents some moments in our lives that connect to those experiences. The support he gets and displays from and for his family and friends, his determination to be himself, his gracious behavior, his appreciation for the recent experiences of AI. We also appreciate the dedication and hard work he put into becoming the musician and singer he his. He represents middle America and the American dream of succeeding through perseverance. He has admirable qualities ppl like. He sings those love ballads as if he were singing to each of us as individuals and we melt and sigh like we did when we were young.....but those emotions we experienced are still with us and he fills those moments we want to experience again. I'm sure he just thinks we are crazy old ladies and why are we so interested in him. Someday, he will be in our generation and maybe he'll understand how someone older can be crazy about him.

Cook & Stoked perhaps he has ignited those emotions that have been buried inside since your husband passed. I alway meet wonderful ppl at all the concerts I attend. So go alone and strike up a conversation with ppl next to you....exchange emails and take lots of photos to remember the night. I waited about 45 minutes with a large group of young ladies at the LA concert to see him after the show. A friend of mine found a poster someone left on the sidewalk and it said "I love David Cook". Lord knows what he was thinking when he saw that poster and looked at me but it got his attention and he signed the poster. I also gave him my concert ticket and asked him to sign it for my grandson. I'm glad I did it and my grandson is very happy too. My grandson thinks David Cook American Idol is his full name. LOL

I also belong to another FORUM for another singing group and we have friends from all over the world and meet in different cities, have lunch together, do some site-seeing and talk about our favorite guys in the group. It's another good way to meet ppl with the same interest and share stories.

I don't think Grandmas for Cook is the same as Coogers for Cook....that's more for the 30ish to 45+ group. I don't think you need to be a grandma just old enough to adopt a grandson or DC as a grandson.

Ladies....let's get more grandmas for DC so he knows he's represented by all age groups.

Yes, yes, yes............I love David Cook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jenney]

Im not a grandma (im 17 so that would be scary!) but my mum is and she listens to DC ALOT. As much as she hates to admit it.

Hi Stef, I agree with you, it's awesome that everyone from preteens to their 70's just love DC!

That's one thing that seems special about him. There are alot of popular musicians out there, but only the great ones manage to attract people of all ages.

[Grans]

Yes, I'm a grandma too! I have three grown children and three wonderful grandkids. My daughter and I will be going to the Green Bay, WI AI concert. We have been to two others but this one will be special since DC gets to perform 5 songs. Love his music.

It really isn't that surprising that grandmas like rock'n roll----We spent our youth and beyond loving it.

[JuliaA]

A Great Aunt here!!
Totally obsessed and loving it, from singing to myself 'The Truth' at work, Creep in my car, hunting You Tube and here for DC news and falling asleep to Idol video clips....no wonder I have a smile on my face.
So much to admire in Mr Cook, so much, and this is just the beginning.

[piper5]

Yep, grandma here too. There are a few of us on the forum here! We flower children from the 60's are rockin' grandmas now, LOL.

I'm like you--mother of one, grandmother of 2 boys, 9 and 7. I also am a flower child from the 60's and can remember seeing the Beatles at Air Crown Theatre in Chicago when I was in 4th grade! I remember being star struck with Paul just like I am with DC and can remember throwing jelly beans up on the stage! That was what everyone was doing then--ouch! that probably could have hurt them! There were 4 rows of police around the stage keeping people from trying to climb up on the stage!

No YouTube or Websites back then (damn, I'm older than dirt!)

I always have and always will love the rockers!!!!

[Jenney]

I don't think Grandmas for Cook is the same as Cougars for Cook....that's more for the 30ish to 45+ group. I don't think you need to be a grandma just old enough to adopt DC as a grandson.

Ladies....let's get more grandmas for DC so he knows he's represented by all age groups.

Well, I'm not old enough to be David's grandma, LOL, my grandsons are just toddlers. My son is a little older than David.

I was crazy about Paul too. I was so mad at my father because he wouldn't let me go see the Beatles back in 65.

[cookie581]

So happy to hear from more grandmas. My 'Kids' are 34 and 36 and grandkids are 2, 5.6 and 4.

DC ROCKS and so do R & R Grandmas.

lucky enough to see the Beatles and Elvis in concert in the 60's and I hope a lot more R & R concert and watch DC grow and become very famous and successful. His family must be SO PROUD!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cookieschick]

[cookie581]
