So really glad that to meet him the American Idol 7 champion in person. In a press conference at the EDSA Shangri-La Hotel in Mandaluyong City yesterday afternoon, July 13, Cook said that he finds the country beautiful.

“I still talk about the show and my experience of coming out here. This country is incredible, beautiful! I mean, having the chance to fly in this morning, the sun was coming out it’s beautiful!”

Cook was asked about what he thought of the last season of American Idol and Filipino-Mexican first runner-up, Jessica Sanchez.

“I get asked about Jessica a lot. I think she should come out here,” he initially joked.

He thought the last season of Idol was interesting. He said, “It’s one of the first seasons I’ve ever watched where I couldn’t really get a pulse on what the American public was thinking.”

He is in the country to promote and sing songs from his second album, This Loud Morning.

This July, prepare for another heart-stopping performance from 7th Season American Idol Grand Champion David Cook! Dayly Entertainment, LAMC Productions and Rockstar Touring together with Smart and Vanita proudly presents: DAVID COOK LIVE IN MANILA and CEBU!

David Cook has been one of the most successful American Idol winners to date. He has toured extensively in the US and most parts of Europe, Middle East and Asia. Only a few years back he performed in Manila together with runner up David Archuleta at the MOA Concert Grounds to promote his self titled album David Cook.

No one can ever forget the this favorite underdog as his fans watched him struggle and won over not only the judges but his fellow Americans for the coveted title of American Idol Grand Champion. Starting out relatively unknown with a few surprises here and there during the Hollywood Week, he caught the attention of everyone when he did Chris Cornell’s version of Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” during the Year of Birth Week of the 7th Season American Idol. 

After that his next performance was eagerly anticipated by patrons of the show, waiting if he would be able to sustain the momentum he gained after that performance. And he did. During the Mariah Carey Week, he gave his own rendition of the classic pop hit “Always Be My Baby” that probably ensured his eventual win. The then hard to please judge, Simon Cowell gave his thumbs up for that performance by stating “It was like coming out of karaoke hell into a breath of fresh air”.

His championship song “Time of My Life” sold over 1Million copies and has been dubbed as the best selling coronation song to date. 

Dayly Entertainment in cooperation with LAMC Productions and Rockstar Touring will bring the enigmatic Grand Champion back in Manila and in Cebu for the first time.
