David Cook Announcement William and Mary 3 28 09

[CristinaLvnMindfreak]

Does anyone else notice know how quiet it is?

[WordNerd4Cookie]

Yeah I just noticed that. It's probably because the crowd noticed his voice was so somber

[loveableiowangirl]

He is so amazing..it looks like he almost wants to cry! David, take all the time you need!! your fans will be right here waiting for you!! You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers!!! GOD BLESS!!

[Rabrina39]

You is such an amazing guy. The hurt is his eyes breaks my heart. David - you and your family are in my prayers. Take as much time as you need. God Bless!!

[wordnerdsrock]

Bless his heart. I feel terrible for him and I am praying for him and his family. I can tell that this was very difficult-he is such an inspiration, this breaks my heart. I hope that he knows how much his fans care for him and that he continues to stay strong...

[Smartbee2007]

Omgosh hes like going to cry.. :( David we'll always b there for you

[Love36214]

Archie Fans - I read your sentiments and it made me cry. Thanks so much for the support. You know we will be there for 'lil bro if he needed the emotional support as well.

[cadburymonkey]

aww

all WordNerds <3 Archies

[cougar40n]

Archie Fans -- thanks so much. I'm sure your gesture means much to DC and family, as well as to all of us.

[8Lucinda8]

To all Cook's fans,

I wanted to let you all know that everyone over on David Archuleta's fansite is praying for Cook - so many of us, even those of us who are not fans, have already added a special graphic to our chat signatures to remind everyone to pray for him.

[kianpeag]

Thank you so so much, Archangels!

[8Lucinda8]

Of course =) You're very welcome.

You wouldn't believe how much support there is. What with Cook being Archie's unofficial 'big brother' and all, nearly all of us have come to love him - if not for his music, for who he is <333

I personally couldn't be happier to see that the big D vs. D is slowly but surely being replaced by an even bigger D^2 <333

[Archiefanatic10]

aw. yeah. i know!

I'm tired of the fighting between his fans and i'm glad it's starting to slowly go away.

[BurkesGirl]

Sending my love out to David and his family, too. I read a bloggers comment on David's myspace page that Adam had taken a turn for the worse. Apparently she is a friend of Kendra's. I hope everything will be okay.

[Love36214]

Yes, sweet David. We will leave the light on when you're gone. Take your time, we won't go anywhere. We'll be right here waiting. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

[Gatecrasher57]

David - a big midwest hug to you, your family, band members and their families. Please take time for yourself and do whatever it is that needs done. See ya on the flip side. You are doing great!

[MessrMoony]

My heart and prayers are with David and his family but I really hope he can reschedule the Southern Connecticut because that was the show I was going to... :'(

[David11cook]

i <3 u david, hop everything works out ok. U and Your family r in our prayers!

[mlarracuente]

David, I'm sending you good vibes and thoughts. Be strong and take all the time you need, we wiil be waiting for you and supporting you all the way.

God bless you and your family!

^_^

[Shereeda2202]

ooo wow im shaken... i hope everything will work out.. that was soo hard for him :(

[Angelsbaby42]

I apologize for my previous blunt comment. ;-( That was disrespectful of me. Anyway he and his family are in my prayers.

[CooKie251975]

My apologies to u too.Just that I was losing focus..wondering n worrying,the last thing I'd want to read abt is bad speculation.Thanks,Angelbaby42

[coolthat83]

You and your family are always in our hearts & prayers. Stay strong.

thanks for sharing this video CrichFan! its so touching...last night when I watched that video of David not being able to complete the song permanent, tears were in my eyes and my hands started to shake. Since then I am so worried. may everything be fine.

Thanks again :)

[MrCooksNumber1Fan]

what was the video called? just wondering.... i wanted to see it, thought i might start crying if i did.

[CRICHFAN]

For coolthat83 - You are welcome. I heard about him not being able to finish Permanent recently too so when when he began that he had an announcement and started talking about it, I was so worried and concerned.

[WordNerd4Cookie]

Oh my gosh. I hope sincerely that Adam's okay. That would break his heart. And all of his fans' hearts, also.

[tobymiaw]

God!! My heart breaks whenever i see him at 0:50 - 0:55..

[KaitLMH]

Archuleta fan here, but I have a soft spot for David Cook. And he just made me cry.

My thoughts and prayers to him and his family.

[waterbender09]

0:53-0:55

Was he trying to prevent crying or he's just looking at something below?

[kianpeag]

I think he's trying to prevent.

[ReeC55]

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers, David. It's touching how much you care about your fans but tours and concerts come and go, family is the most important thing. Take all the time you need. Love you David.

[jennetravers]

all the best to you and yours, DC - we'll be here when you return.

[3dreambulls]

So glad the audience was loving and supportive here. This must be so hard for him. Prayers and love for Davidi and his family.

[CRICHFAN]

The audience response was respectful. Right now the best thing to do is to pray for David and his family and keep them in your thoughts. What a difficult time this must be. :(

[klizmusic]

[armenianbabe413]
