Special thanks to Wadahoot for this wonderful idea. I welcome your news items in the comments section below this article.
I didn’t know if you had seen David video of Crush and if you wanted it on any of your threads. I thought maybe this would be the best place to put the link. Here it is:

Hi there Gemzone and welcome:
I know there were many Youtube videos online yesterday, but I didn’t feel comfortable posting them because the video of “Crush” hadn’t been officially launched via television.
I will add a link to FansOfDavid.Com very soon – I am busy with singers now, but will add it late ron today or tonight.
Thanks for stopping by.:)

I just can’t keep sweet things to myself. Here’s David with his “lovely” cameraman.
It sounds to me like David is trying very hard to fine the “sweet” in bittersweet, like the week before high school graduation, you start missing your friends before they’re gone. sniff~sniff

Woops – did it again — Janey and I are on the same wavelength!!! – she was posting the Detroit “space tunnel” above- while I was posting it on the Wilkes thread thread!! Sweet indeed!
Moving my post here:
Only three shows left! In his latest and ?last vlog from the tour (with a little help from the Lovely Mr. David Cook) – David himself says the tour end will be bittersweet:
As I watch this video appropriately set in Detroit’s “space tunnel”, I imagine David walking down that tunnel and then taking flight out into the stratosphere of music history.
Bittersweet?? – I can not wait to watch him fly.
Thank you Janey for keeping up with the links!!!!!
Thank you Gemzone for your information on the “talented triumvirate of Archuleta, Archuleta, and Parkinson” – there is never a me, myself, or I from these men.
You will never hear them give much credit to themselves for anything, it is always “somebody else” — well, just WHO is this somebody else, I would like to meet somebody else —somebody else is immensely talented.
Thank You MCL for all of your time and wonderful reviews- – just like each night it is as if you are hearing David singing the songs for the first time, each of your write ups are fittingly unique.
