Prayers for David Cook's Family

David Cook's brother Adam has been battling Cancer for11 years. Today David announced the passing of his brother.

From David's site:

Hello, everyone. It is with great sadness I share with you that David announced at the Race for Hope this morning that his beloved older brother Adam had lost his battle with cancer late last night/early this morning.

Just a quick note to let's, out of love and respect for David and his family, offer our thoughts and/or prayers, as well as our support and understanding here in this thread, but otherwise please respect their privacy at this time. Thank you.

An official announcement will, no doubt, be forthcoming.

My heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Dave and his family, to Kendra and the children, and to everyone whose lives are affected by this great loss. I am now without words ... *tears*

This is so sad. We all remember Adam sitting in the American Idol audience, supporting his little brother.

Cancer sucks!

And the American Idol 2008 is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

American Idol Got My Vote

I know I voted once before on Idol but never for the overall winner. It was so long ago that I don't even remember who it was for. Oh blahh...anyway, tonight..I just had to vote.

Mostly I voted because I felt that David Archuleta is a shoe in based on Simon's feedback after all three songs. I think Archie is great but he was never my pick for the WIN. I thought he was in the zone tonight and both guys were awesome.

The reason I voted tonight is because if Archuleta wins over DC, I couldn't be upset about it unless I actually voted.

Kind of like how I feel people who didn't vote in the last presidential election have no right bitching about how much they hate our president, You had opportunity to make a difference, as little as it would be, but you chose not to.

I have Barry Manilow's "One Voice" playing in my head right now along with the Star Spangle Banner.
.

Ok, I digress.

Congratulations David, whichever one of you win. I would love it to be my David.
