That is soo cool!! I dont have a subscription to people so I will get it in a store to see it..Happy for you!

Awww . . . thanks, everyone. You've all said such sweet things. Honestly, I just wrote what I really felt about David and how he has touched me (and us).

So many from D-C.org wrote in; I'm sure there will be lots more. Maybe they just haven't posted the status update yet. But I guess I learned my lesson that I should write well past midnight in the future! lol.

Thanks again for the kind words. You all are making me blush!

I emailed one to the People Editor as well the the other day:

Subject: Thank You//David Cook

Good Morning:

I just wanted to send a quick note to thank People Magazine for the great article and video coverage given to David Cook in the June 16 issue.

While on American Idol and over the last 3 weeks or so, it has been wonderful getting familiar with David as a person, a musician and for what he stands for regarding his cancer awareness projects.

I never really watched Idol in the past seasons, but happened to tune in the night he sang “Hello” and like so many others he pulled me in and I was hooked ever since.

I also want to thank you for including him in the 2008 Hottest Bachelors – not only is David pleasant to look at – he has a wonderful soul and is very true to himself.

I look forward to following David through his journey over the coming years and I hope that People Magazine will cover him as well.

Thank you very much.

All the very best,

Annette Ciattarelli

taht's really great! I like the letter Beautiful and to the point.

Hey, Annette! I already said "Way to go," but this is a perfect opportunity to remind everyone that we should send more letters in to the editors, thanking them for the coverage of DC and asking them for more!

As a fanbase, let's be very clear that we want to see David in more mags (more media coverage = more fans = more sales = David to the top of the charts with a solid record = His Dream Come True).

Email away, D-C.org-ers!

That's AWESOME BLake!! Thanks for the letter. Oh and I SOOOOOO hope he is the next People's Sexiest Man Alive!!!!

That is great! I will definitely keep an eye out for it!

Awesome!
Well written.
Congrats

Those are great letters. Wonderful description of DC.
Question: I saw the People IV online but didn't realize that it was out in print. But it appears from the posts here that it already hit the newstands?

Congratulations! I will look for your letter.

Congrats, you are luck.

Hey Blake,

Stopped by my favorite newstand (the one where THE PAGE 4 People Magazine knocked my socks off), and the new issue is out, and YOUR LETTER IS IN IT!!!!

Congratulations, and thanks for saying it so eloquently.

Awesome letter!

Can't wait to see it in the magazine!

Oh, really?! Who's on the cover? Did they print the whole thing? Hmmmm . . . guess I'll be making a stop on the way to work tomorrow.

Thanks so much, JerseyGirl2.

I wanna see the whole page! did they publish any other people's letters about him??

That letter is all kinds of win & I'm gonna buy that issue of People just cuz a Word Nerd got published!!

I agree great job! Very heartfelt and sincere you make us all proud to be D.C fans.

Dang if I can remember who was on the cover -- I'm having a senior moment!!! Possibly Heather Locklear, not 100% sure.

But yes, they did print the whole thing as far as I could tell, I just read it at the newstand and then put it back, and everything I remembered about it appeared to be there. (Sorry, I wasn't buying it because there were no Cookie pics).

I do remember the heading was just simply "David Cook" and that it was split across the bottom of the second column and the top of the third column. And they MAY have spelled your name "Jocelyn" not 100% sure about that either.

Please scan it when you do get a copy.

OK I checked again today.
Yes it's Heather Locklear on the cover.
They DID spell your name correctly "Jecelyn"
AND -- yours is the only letter they published about DC...

Congrats! Can't wait to see you in print!

I probably won't be able to get a copy of that, so some one will have to post a pic of that here. Congrats, Jecelyn!!!!

Got it today. I'll try to get it scanned in and posted tonight.

I saw it! They really kinda edited it, didn't they?

What gives with only ONE letter on DC? I mean, I'm honored mine was selected -- at least we got one in. But *one*?! (And they deleted the request to consider him for Sexiest Man Alive!) hmmmm.....

Well, one is better than none. That's for sure. Wait until they put David on the cover! LOL - that Mailbag page after he's on the cover should be FULL of David letters. (Gotta think positively.)

I just bought *your* magazine tonight! So exciting for you! Congrats for the millionth time! DC now knows your name.

My People came in the mail today and of course the first thing I turned to when I saw it was the mailbag to see your letter! Kudos to you - and yours was the only letter they posted about David.

>>>My People came in the mail today and of course the first thing I turned to when I saw it was the mailbag to see your letter!<<<


That is the same thing that I did!! Your letter was so well written! I just wish that they would have printed more letters...

It's a bit crooked, I don't really know what I'm doing! How can I get them bigger on here?

Thanks for posting that Mrs. Jaguar.

That's so cool that you got your words published BLake

Thanks for posting, Mrs. Jaguar. And thanks all for your kind words. Hope we see more David coverage soon so that we can all let them know how much we love him. Still hoping for a cover soon . . .

Congrats BLake on getting your letter published!

Sidenote: They DO edit letters from readers. I've e-mailed a local entertainment magazine here in Singapore a few times and they published some of my letters but the editing... oh my gosh... horrendous!! I understand that they need to edit for length, placement etc etc but the grammar?? They've messed up my letters to the point of grammar being wrong, can you imagine? I was all excited that my letter got published but pissed off that that happened. I mean I signed off IN my name and that wasn't what I wrote dammit!

That's awesome your letter was published! You chose just the right words to speak for all of us.

I saw your letter sweetie! Congrats.
