Just wondering if there is video floating around of David's backbend. I would love to see it. I loved the bottle of water video, so this has got to rock too!

I believe it's on the site somewhere, but here it is.

There are actually two videos from different angles.

Thanks for posting these again! I can't get enough of our HOT STUD COOK!

NICE!!!!

Thank you so much for posting these!!! OMG he is amazing! This is my first time to see this-----thanks!!

OMG thanks for these.

He´s so passionate with the guitar that I can´t help but wondering how he would be.. well..







I´d better go lol.. I´m sure you know what I mean.

He did that again tonight in Salt Lake and sprained his knee so he won't be doing that again! He also said that he got in trouble for doing the water thing when i requested a replay. He said that it shorted out his ear pieces and they were wrecked so he was told he can't do that again! BOO! He was AMAZING tonight!!!!! And Kathy from Arizona and I got backstage passes for the aftershow! We spent the whole time watching him do pictures and autographs for everyone and talked to him the whole time, for at least an hour!!!! But he was in pain the whole time because of his knee. He's very funny, very witty, VERY gorgeous, and really kind with the fans! He loves to make faces and stick his marker up his nose for laughs, every so often It's 3:30 in the morning and I still haven't come down from the high! Who knows when or if I'll sleep tonight! I came back home and went online and bought tickets for Tuesday night!

Too bad! At least we know part of what made everyone so crazy last night, though.

I hope he has plenty of other antics in store for us, though, and didn't piss anybody off too bad. And I certainly hope he's okay enough to rock us out for the remainder of the tour!

WOW!!!!

Awww, man, I'm so bummed he sprained his knee! One, cuz he's in pain and two, cuz now he won't be doing it anymore!

Glad you had such a great time! How did you get backstage passes?

Just in the right place at the right time! It was very much unexpected and a major thrill! Can't say much more, been sworn to secrecy!

Awww, I hate secrets

KentuckyKat, I know you're probably asleep by now, but did he clarify if he's going to make it out tonight despite the knee injury? I know they definitely wouldn't have let him go and sign autographs in the middle of the night if he was in any real toruble and you wouldn't have bought more tickets if this wasn't the case, but I wouldn't want him to be out of traction.

I should be asleep, but I'm too wired! He kept kept saying he was fine and wouldn't sit down to sign autographs unless it was little kids who were small enough for him to reach sitting down. He stood there doing autographs for more than an hour and at the end admitted that he was done in. BUT, he still kept saying he would be fine. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't go out for autographs tomorrow afternoon, but I can't see him not going onstage tomorrow night. He was even sluffing off the idea of seeing a doctor, but who knows they just might make him. he seemed in a fair bit of pain, so he might have to cut down on the rock star moves for a little while!

Oh - I feel bad he got hurt - hopefully he'll keep a brace on the knee and take it slow on stage for a while.

I think they play tonight and then not again until later in the week (Friday); so hopefully his knee will be better by then - I am playing "mother hen" but he better go check it out"

He better keep the acrobatics out of the routine for awhile.

David never ceased to give his best in every performance during the tour.
What he treated his fans that night was a standout performance with that backbend which we so enjoyed and...drools over.
I feel sad though to hear that he has injured his knees in trying to give his best to us fans.
Let's hope he gets a full recovery soon!

It's a bummer to hear that David sprained his knees while doing the backbending - hope he recovers soon.

In the meantime, I'm pretty sure he has something new in store to keep us all in awe, eh?

OH NO, He sprained his knee? Man. Sorry for him, plus I wanted him to do that at my concert!!!
And I am so jealous of you guys! Congrats!!!!

I hadn't seen the one from this angle, awesome!!!

I'm sorry to hear Cookie got injured, I hope its nothing serious and he heals quickly.

OH NO!!! Poor Cookie.
*kisses it to make it all better*

I was listening to the cell cast last night and heard the increase of scream volume during the guitar solo, and figured he was doing the backbend again. I'm so sorry he got injured. He really gives his all and it really touches me that although he was in pain, he still stood there signing autographs for his fans. What a sweetheart. I hope it's not too bad and he'll be okay in a day or two.

I was wondering if he had wrecked his ear pieces with the water thing. In one of the videos, just before he steps offstage, you can see him take them out. Damn. I'm sure he'll come up with MANY other ways of keeping us guessing, though.

krittr517 - according to Kats posting - when the water hit the ear piece, the ear piece was shorted out.

I figured it might be...
or that he might have shorted out something on his guitar as well.
It was a risky move..... but SOOOOOOO worth it

Yeah - when I saw the water - my mind went right to guitar. I did not even think about the ear piece.

I sure hope he is alright, knee injuries are real painful!

Poor baby, what he does for us!

Joyce

I pulled the ligaments in my knee last year and the next morning couldn't even bend my leg.
It was a couple of weeks until it was all better. I hope Cookie's knee injury isn't as bad. I'm sure they'll get him some care and everything he needs, though.
I just wanna hug him right now!

Perhaps the Idols Live tour should consider adding a physical therapist to the staff.

But, seriously...I hope he feels better soon.

WOW
come to me rocker
i WANT to see him live BADLY right now

thanks for the link!

and oh cookie
hope he get well soon
*kisses and hugs

Annie: Having a Physical Therapist on board is not a bad idea at all.

Oh no! Rock star injury! At least they aren't traveling today - more time for better rest.

It's funny that you say that. A lot of us women were commenting after the show that he should sit down and be careful and take care and he kept saying he was fine, and I said "We can't help ourselves, it's the Mom in us coming out." and he looked over at me and gave me a big smile! AWWWW!

Has anyone seen the beautiful tribute to David on Youtube. It is the best I've seen so far[http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aDKkbLnQw"] David Cook Tribute-Don't want to Miss a Thing

David
please listen to the doctor and take care of your knee. Your fans worry about you.

This topic must be all over the airwaves (internet) because there is a whole thread that was just started regarding David's Knee.

I just sent that thread this link so they can have the latest and greatest info.

Poor baby! I hope he gives himself enough TLC to make a quick recovery. I sprained my ankle on a trampoline years ago & can attest to the unbearable pain! You know when you're in so much pain your mouth opens but NOTHING comes out? THAT is how bad it was. I truly feel for him!

Hope you feel better soon David!



Duh, they should also have a massage therapist too! I'm available if they need one!

Oh poor Cookie!! I hope you get better David!!! KISSES! XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Awww... poor Daivd. He got his knee injured. I hope he'll get better soon.

AWWW - Poor thing - hopefully later last night and today he will try to keep off of it as much as possible - after tonight they have a 2 day break until Friday - so hopefully he will take care.

I sure hope he doesn't overdo it and injure himself worse, and I hope he sees someone for it! I can't stand the thought of our Cookie being in pain!!! That backbend was to die for! If he never does it again, at least we have the video of it. And the water in the hair, OMG!!! *THUD*

haha that's what he gets for showing off

Hope it heals quickly!

I JUST WANT TO HUG DAVID RIGHT NOW.

aww we are all here for you david!! GET BETTER SOON! xoxoxoxoxo

Roffles~!! Do you have to rub it in?

GOOD THING THEIR NEXT SHOW IS ON 18

oh I hope he is better by their next show.

The back bend was very cool. When I saw that, I thought soon there will be a whole new slew of pics about that for us to drool over. That's too bad it hurt his knee.

I never heard about this water bottle thing. You wouldn't happen to know where that is on You Tube would you?
Thanks much.

I feel so lucky to have gotten a picture of the backbend. I printed it out and it now hangs next to my bed

Wow! Seeing the backbend in motion is so much hotter! *fans self*

Haha, silly guy. He seems so laid-back and fun!

Glad to hear everyone's great experiences!! it's making me super excited for this saturday's concert!!

have fun!!!

there was a second utah night added for tonight...then they get a break until the 18th at st. louis
