yesterday my mom was looking at tickets to the SF show i told her about. then i left the room and when i came back the video of david golfing was on. hee hee oh yeah! and also when i went to michigan me and my cousins were watching the home run derby they saw david singing declaration. one of my cousins was like, "dang his drummer is cool" and then my little cousin who's 9 has a very strong opposition to david (i have no idea why because he hadn't heard him sing before) didn't realize it was david singing. then like 3 days later i said something about it then he said "that was david cook?!" i think he secretly liked it. tee hee.
anyone else have someone in their family cookiefied?

My dad likes David Cook too. I am glad that my dad enjoys listening to David Cook and watching him perform live.

My mum loves David (but not as much as I do, LORD NO). My aunt is a pretty big fan as well, and is hoping to fly over to the states at some point to see him live. As for my brother, I think he's really a closet fan, heh.

Hah, I wish. Me being obsessed with David is one of the things that annoy them most.

My husband likes David. He came to see the band when they were in Del Mar and is going to go with me when they are in Ventura. He enjoyed going to see Andy and Neal perform last summer. He enjoyed going and listening to Phil Marshall. He really likes all the guys as people and that makes me happy because I do as well. My husband doesn't desire to go to as many shows as I have (mostly because he doesn't care for the screaming women and I don't blame him because I hate it as well) and that's fine with me. I don't want him to get tired of the music. I don't play it around the house or in the car. I would get tired of it if I did and I know he would really get tired of it. I figure the less said the better so I hardly mention them unless I'm going to a concert. My older daughter likes the music...especially Andy's music. My younger daughter has no use for the music at all and that's fine with me. I don't care for her musical taste, either so we agree to disagree.

My sister thinks he's cool, but I guess I'm the only huge Cook-Fan in the family.

my mom and sister both like his music and my mom had a blast when she saw him with me in Mahnomen and is excited to see him again in Fargo, but they both just like him, they don't love him like i do. if they go a few days without hearing his music, it's no big deal to them; my mom is only going with me to his concert because no one else will. i'd say they're only somewhat Cookiefied.

I'm the only one in my family who has ever watched American Idol. Nobody else even knows who David Cook is. I wish I could see him in concert, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen since no one else listens to his music. My family needs to be cookified.

Can't you ask someone in your family to go? I know that if one of my daughters had asked me to go with them to something, I would because they wanted to go. You never know...I might like it.

haha my mom does like him, but I think she followed him more on idol...who knows! (she always try to watch idol, I only watched it straight through last year when he was on..)
as for my older sister she couldn't STAND him at first (probably because I'd play his cd non stop) but than she ended up coming with me to the pemberton concert in march...and she just fell in love! (I think she has this thing where once she sees someone live she appreciates them wayyy more!) now we fight over david (jokingly of course!) and she got all her friend's into him too (including one of her guy friends who came along to see david at musikfest where he was screaming non stop it was so funny !) ..so the cookiefied spreaded like wildfire!

My mom liked David ok, she watched him on Idol some, and I think she wanted him to win, she didn't follow that close, but she wasn't overboard, she thought he sang good, but probably not to the extent that I do (I listen to David everynight when I go to bed, all the time on the computer, and David songs are the only ones on my iPod, mainly because it's just a shuffle, I can barely listen to other male singers now and Lord help if I hear one of the orginals he covered, eww, have to wash my ears out) I begged and begged and saved up the money to pay for the whole thing of going to a concert, it ended up being close to my bday so she paid for the gas, I was glad cause I had more money for souvenirs and stuff, and after the concert I think she is officially cookified now and I went to a second concert and she was starting to embaress me, eek, but she's still not nuts. My only other family is my grandparents and you know they wouldn't care for that kind of stuff, my grandpa says he looks like a jerk and another time he called him a weirdo, go figure. My baby cousin that I help my grandma babysit is cookified I think, and she's only 14 months old, lol. She loves to point at David's face when I wear my shirts and she likes my handcuff necklace and dog tag (which they're shiny so that doesn't really count I guess) and the funniest thing is, I used to have TOML for a ringtone and it played a lot and she liked it, then I switched to LOTM and so I use TOML for alarms and stuff and she's just started dancing about 2 months ago and she will start moving when she hears it, so I took my CD over there and let her hear all of TOML and she danced and wiggled and stomped and clapped the whole way through the song, it was so funny, I wish I could have gotten it on video. She loves the intro to BBS, lol, she didn't show much interest in the others yet, got to try again. I need to take the one where I have KOTN removed from ADAM and see if she likes that. Another thing is sometimes when she sees my shirt it sounds like "day" comes out and I'll say "yes, David, can you say David", I'm gonna be in so much trouble when she can really talk.

That sounds like something my grandma would say!!! she gets drunk a lot (i know, whats a grandma doing getting drunk haha) LOL about your grandpa calling him a jerk because my grandma calls nearly everyone a jerk, Micheal Jackson, Billy Mays, and most celebrities, despite me and my cousins trying to convince her that everyone isn't a jerk. I was in michigan and wanted to go to the concert in lansing. It was a 4 hour drive from my grandparent's cottage, but we could have gone there and spent the night and done some exciting stuff! its the capitol of michigan!! yay, but we couldn't go because my dad had to bike ride. (AGAIN!!! gah) i was so ticked off. (plus i had my period so i was super emotional, i think i cried. and i NEVER cry. even when i smash my head really hard ...but i do cry when i get a shot, needle phobia-long story ) ANYWAY back to the point, we were eating dinner (me, my parents, my uncle, and my grandparents) then my mom said, "Emma wanted to go see david cook in lansing tomorrow" and my grandma was like "What?! what do you wanna go to lansing for. No your not going to lansing its too far away. thats dumb" then my uncle said "who is that david cook guy anyway. i don't give a s*** about him. you don't wanna drive all that way for a concert" and my mom said "I'm sure you went to concerts when you were a teen" my uncle said "no i never was into that stuff. It's stupid" i was almost crying again at this point! (darn you hormones!!!) I think my grandpa likes him though because last year when we went my mom played him David singing "Music Of The Night" and he liked it. DONE WITH MY RANTING! haha, ranting is fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun

this has absolutely nothing to do with what this thread is about but i have needle-phobia too so i know exactly how you feel about that! anyways, that's dumb that they wouldn't drive 4 hours to see him. that's not that far. i hate when family members gang up against you like that. when i was trying to convince my dad to let me see David in Fargo, my sister "helped" me way too much. i can't believe she actually thought she was helping me! she was doing the exact opposite, giving him more reasons why i shouldn't go. family is sometimes so grr...

^ Oh, my mum's the exact opposite. A while ago she said to me, "You know, if David Cook ever tours the UK, we HAVE to go and see him. I don't care if his first concert is in Scotland (which is almost seven hours away) - we're going, and that's final. I don't even care how we get there, as long as we're there." So it looks like I'll have to go, whether I want to or not.

haha cuz i'm sure your mom will really have to bend your arm to get you to go.

That's just awful, having to be dragged to a David Cook concert, lol.

My grandma didn't really like us going 3 1/2 hours away to see David, but she didn't fuss or anything. My grandpa never did, I think he for once realized he should keep his mouth shut. I'm 28 dang years old and had never been to a single concert in my life, uhhh. Now I have been to 2 David Cook concerts. I feel sorry for anyone who can't go, that was me last year and I have to say it's the most awesome thing. There's a concert Friday night I wish I had the money to go to cause it's only about 2 1/2 hours away, but didn't work out. I don't know what I'm gonna do when he does the big arenas and I can't get in the mosh pit. Sorry I went OT.

Oh yeah, it's really going to take some convincing.

My aunt is flying over to see him in (I think) September, and I was trying to convince my mum to let me go with her, but she was having absolutely none of it.

My fiancee was a fan of his during American Idol but didn't listen to him much after that. Well, he wanted to go to the concert at the ohio state fair and i think he was pretty well blown away. We weren't sitting together so I don't know what his reaction was but it didn't take much for him to guess mine cause after all, I felt like I was in heaven all night.

well that's just silly. it's not like you're asking to go to the moon or anything, lol. that would have been awesome if she'd agreed though.
