David Cook > WordNerds from outside of America!

McDavid

Apr 24 2008, 06:57 AM

After our David Cook has captured every heart of his American listeners through his awesome-ness in American Idol---what are the odds that he hasn't captured yet the hearts of his listeners from across the globe? I consider myself as a proof of the mark that he left, not only in America, but also from other parts of earth, through his captivating voice, wit, and personality.

Even if we're away from him and from each other, even if there is a 12-hour time difference, or even if we speak different languages, we still have one thing in common---David Cook.

So Wordnerds from outside America, let that be Asia or Africa or anywhere you might be---let us unite, make our presence felt and join our fellow WordNerds from the United States of American in showing our unwavering love and support for our one and only American Idol.

So discuss anything here. I look forward to hearing from you guys.

I ask my dad to vote, since he's from new york...and he'd be like "what the hell is this for?"

he's funny.
I really hope someday they let people outside of America vote too. You know how Filipinos are expert when it comes to online voting.

Yes, ask him to vote! who knows, maybe your Dad watches AI (and likes David

). Unlike my Dad, being the Filipino that he is, has absolutely no idea what's going on.

psh yeah!! David has won my heart too. Seriously, I didn't expect anything like that happening after last season (I was huge fan of Jordin), but I guess I had no other chance than give up on David

. I wish had enough money to go see the tour... It's so frustrating to read everyone's stories how they've met everyone and I'm just sitting on my crappy old computer or working. But in same time I'm so damn happy for them.

oh btw, I currently live kind of near you

nearer a coast though, but in South-Western Finland anyway.

Hey babes! Singaporean in the house. Nice to meet all of you!

Some of yall were talking about voting and the Cookie LJ recently had a post to the Archie site where they're recruiting foreign fans to vote. The problem is I'm not sure it will really work and, unless we rope in all our friends, the numbers won't be much anyway. Yeah, so unless every Cookie fansite posts this in big bold letters on their front page... But! Since I think you would like to know:
