My Obsession with Reid and David Cook

This is only the message board (Bach) I’ve joined for a TV show, though I’ve peeked in a couple of others when I watched a particular episode of a TV show I liked, but I never felt compelled to join one until this season of The Bachelorette. I was not a regular watcher of the show, but did see the first couple then became bored. It wasn’t until Deanna’s season that I started watching again, thanks mostly to an appearance by Deanna on The Ellen Show.

Okay, now about David and Reid. I watched American Idol from time to time but was never obsessed with the show, like counting down the days until it was being televised. That is at least not until Season 7 in 2008 when David Cook decided to audition for Idol. And what a turn that made in my life. At the end of the show when David won, I started searching the internet to find out more about him to see if I could find some fan websites. Well I found the “Wordnerd” and “david-cook.org” websites in July 2008. One day last July I came across a thread titled “Rockin’ Grandma’s Who Love David Cook” and that caught my eye. To make a long story short, approximately 50 women (and one man), along with a couple of husbands too, became members of this group. Last summer several of us decided to meet in Kansas City to see David perform in his home town with the Idol tour. Well of course we all hit it off!

Then David started his tour in February and our small group started to get much bigger, around 50 now. So David’s Declaration tour was making a stop again in his hometown, so 30 of us met up and we had a great time. So now you’re probably wondering where I’m going with this. (Didn’t I tell one of you that I wasn’t a very good writer??)

What drew all of us to David (and we’re not all grandmas, we range from late 20s to David’s granny who is 73) were the same characteristics that Reid has shown us. The only ones Reid does not have are his singing and performing talent. And I’m making that assumption of course. It’s their charm, their humor, their kindness, wearing their hearts on their sleeves, their smiles, their eyes, and I could go on and on. David is not afraid to show his emotions. My God he cried several times on national TV and wasn’t ashamed of it. Well, it was those same attributes that I saw in Reid, especially when he was with Jillian.

Now some of you may think I’m crazy, but I’ve thought about this for a while. And I’ve even discussed it with one of my very close RG (rockin’ grandma) friends. And she agrees since she also favored Reid over all the others.

I’ve got to go now, but I hope you found this comparison interesting. If you’ve never heard David or are not familiar with his music, check out his music and videos on this website:

PS - Now I just have to figure out how to change font, color, etc. but I'll do that next time. And thanks to whoever suggested writing this in Word first. I've lost connectivity three times today, so I'm very glad this was in word first.
