Luke's website is up to let people know how he is doing. He's hanging on to his family and his faith in God. Keep praying.

Publicity stunt? I hadn't heard that one. He kept his brother's illness a secret because he wanted to win or lose on his own merits.

They're wrong. Cook's visit was completely private and unreported so how could it have helped him? And this tribute on Larry King occurred after he already won. Cook is genuine and a real idol to me too.

fitz2012, thanks for this info. I've enjoyed the music of many Am Idol contestants and winners, but I've never considered them "idol." They weren't people that I particularly looked up to, nor want my children to emulate (although there was nothing bad about them). David Cook is different. From his willingness to emotional, to his concern for his brother and Luke, to his eloquence and intelligence -- Cook is truly Idol-worthy.

luke was at my highschool football game last night just as cheery as ever. [he went to my highschool and his bro is a varsity football captain now]but theyve been raffling off a guitar signed by the top 10 american idol finalist, and look was there to pick the winner. But what i was gonna say was that David Cook pledged to match whatever the rafle makes and it all goes towards Luke's treatments and everything.He is an american idol.

I saw an interview with Luke, and he seems to be doing great and keeping his spirits up. Keep up the prayers. If you need another reason to love David Cook, Luke said that he came to visit him in the hospital right after the diagnosis (which was 3 days before David had to perform on the finale). Says Luke, "He truly is an American Idol to me." |
