DC thank you for being who you are and never compromising that. You are a truly lovely person and I will never regret voting for hours for you. You are one of a kind and I am proud to be your fan!
My mind is jello right now, and it's hard to see thru the tears, but all I can say is...ditto to what you wrote. To know that I will NEVER vote for him again--it just breaks my heart. We all love you David Cook--you are "simply the best, better than all the rest."

Dial Idol isn't making me nervous...that Zaba site is, since it calculates both the texts AND the calls. If that site is right, it's very, very close right now.
I need to get off of here. I'm not sure if I'll let myself come on here tomorrow or not. I don't know if I want to spoil it. I might not be able to help myself. Good job East Coasters!!

Well said. David has been absolutely AMAZING and I've never had someone touch me so deeply like he has over these past few months. I am SO, SO proud to be a fan of his and I wouldn't give any of this time up for anything in the world.
Whether or not tomorrow brings good news or bad news, I just want to say to all of you on here how much I appreciate all of you and the friendships I've made here. It's been amazing. Thank you so much.

I am tired. My arm hurts and I have to keep up with my 3 year old tomorrow. I lost count how many votes I got in all on my land line. I had great luck with the 03 number all night long. I kid you not I probably got through around 90-95% of the time. I've never voted for AI finals like this. I might vote for 1/2 an hour before, but never the whole 4 hours.
Keep up the work those who can still vote!!!

Bidding goodnight from Huskerland and the midwest. I voted my ass off for 4 hours tonight on a crappy land line but I got in 350 votes.
Thanks David, for touching Nebraska on your journey (Omaha & Lincoln). We here in YOUR heartland love you soooooo much and are so proud of you . . .
To all my fellow Cookie lovers on this website, God bless all of you for your efforts. He's in God's hands now and whatever happens, he will have a great life!
I will be with you all the way....I've been a Billy Squier fan for 25 years and I haven't quit! I'm in this for the long haul!

I'm very disappointed with the judges. I agree with David....why rehash something in the past and not keep going?
Well, this has certainly been an experience. I know that I will vote the whole 4 hours. I hope that those who have experienced David's work this season will come forward and support him.
Jeannine
I agree with Jeannine. At David's hometown visit he sang My Hero and on YouTube, there has been thousands of hits of us wanting to hear it again, because it was something new and we loved it; and it had DC's twist on it. I think they are now trying to put David in a box, and I will not go for it. He deserves this and has worked for it way too hard before AI; and we owe to him.
By the way; I live in Alaska; so I am 1 hour behind CA in time so I will be a dialing fool to get my votes in! The lines are not even busy.....that scares me everyone because it is 10:20pm in CA.

Hi, all!
I've been lurking for a while now and just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed reading all the posts on this site.
David Cook has nade me enjoy music again!
Now, if this old lady (I have a son older than DC *g*) can keep three phones going conxtantly for four hours, you all can, too! I didn't count how many votes, but for what it's worth, two phones were with text votes in batches of ten and one phone redialing constantly. Quite a few busy signals, the annoying 'all circuits busy', and the maddening 'dead air', were present, but I did have success toward the last hour (line 03 seemed to be the most open for me).
I'm still hoping for a win, but even if things don't work out that way, I feel very privledged in having watched the development of a young man who will be the music world's next superstar.

Hi folks,
I just finished four hours of voting (never cast more than a handful of AI votes before this season, lol). I got through probably 90% of the time, I was really surprised. I used both my cell phone and my home phone for maybe half of it, maybe a bit longer, until the cell phone battery died. I did take a short shower in there, but called from my cell with the speaker on while I blow dried my hair. LOL! I swear I'm not telling anyone IRL about this, hahaha!
Anyway, best of luck to you west coasters! Keep dialin'!
By the way, my husband dialed on the cell for me for about 30 minutes while I cleaned house with one hand and dialed the land line with the other. Husband wants to make it clear that his "never voted for AI" record still stands, and he was just helping ME.

I really want to stay up and keep an eye on dial idol....hmm...I don't have any pts tomorrow so its not like i have to work real hard....but I'm going to the watch party at the P&L in KC so I want to be awake for that...something tells me I'll be working off a lot of adrenaline tomorrow anyway!
Man, I'm just so darn tired right now!!!!
No, NO, NOOOOOOOOO...Vote to 1:00 AM, not 12:00 AM!!! Voting goes to 1:00 AM no matter where you live. KEEP VOTING.

Logged 5,022 votes -- all for David. Very, very weird trends on the phone lines tonight - check it out (blue is phone, red is text):
Let's make this happen, Word Nerds! David deserves this more than anyone! Come on, Heartland & West Coasters -- keep up the voting. I'll be hanging in there until 4 am ET to finish out the West Coast voting window on the one West Coast mobile I have.
