After David Cook sold tons of copies of his album "Analog Heart" on Amazon.com this past week, the album has mysteriously disappeared from the site. Actually, it's not mysterious at all. David can't sell his own music while on the show, an always-in-place Idol rule. The only people who got around this were Constantcrap Maroulis and Chris Sligh, whose ex-bands sold the music using the workaround that the singers were no longer members of the band. David Cook was the last non-plant in the competition, but the fact that he is being pimped so heavily at this point and pulling stunts like this makes us wonder if he's more planty than we expected. Though the article gets a good jab in at Carly: "That girl always looked like her head was about to explode when she was singing." So true. So true.

I thought the rule was that
I thought the rule was that they couldn't have a current record deal (and David never had a record deal at all), not that they couldn't sell music during the show. If it is a rule, they should consider enforcing it because at least half of the top 10 have been selling records during the show.
Anyway...look at this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=amb_link_6741242_1?ie=UTF8&docId=1000223921&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=product-alert&pf_rd_r=0NWAZXABQJSB0H50T6Q4&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=389612001&pf_rd_i=B001872MA0
This page shows the top 10; a spot for each of their upcoming albums is reserved. They all say "New Release"...except for David Cook, who already has Analog Heart listed. This showed up this weekend. Looks like he cut a deal with American Idol to promote AH after the show...
Nice.
"David Cook was the last
"David Cook was the last non-plant in the competition..."
jason castro is a plant? i don't check this site every day, nor do i read every post or comment, so there is a very real possibility that i missed something, but i didn't think he was a plant. all i read was something about him having gotten some air time on a reality tv show because he happened to be the boyfriend of one of the girls that was a cast member. or something along those lines. i dunno.
Not that anyone were
Not that anyone were purchasing them, but Carly Hennesse's songs had been selling for $.99 on itunes the entire duration of her being on the show...I think the only reason she was on it was to promote her album that was an utter fail back in 2001. cute for her.
wow i had no idea he had an

Shut.Up.
Shut.Up.
How about that picture? How
How about that picture? How old was David Cook when he got married, 12? At least he was young enough to not have to rock the combover.
And that wife of his looks a little scary, like a major Bridezilla. She probably just got finished beating the caterer to death with her bouquet for serving chicken to a guest who ordered the fish!
Yeah, it's prom. I thought
Yeah, it's prom. I thought Scott Baio was kidding about it being a wedding... But maybe he was just confused...?
Or maybe I had been
Or maybe I had been drinking. Confusedly.
Is he married? I assumed
Is he married? I assumed that was a prom picture because of the wrist corsage. I could be wrong though.
That can't be his wife...he
That can't be his wife...he said he was single!
It looks like a prom picture anyway. A really bad one.
The biggest problem they had
The biggest problem they had with David selling his album is they weren't getting a cut.
I don't blame David, it was a good idea. I can see where he was coming from. Let's imagine the conversation:
Idol Rep: Uhmm David, you know you aren't supposed to be selling your music while the shows still on, right?
David: Is that still a rule? I figured they changed it because I saw Carly, Kristie and Brooke's albums on sale at the site.
Idol Rep: Well, ... yes, but the rights to that music are owned by someone else, we can't force them to stop selling it.
David: soooo, if I gave the rights to another record company, I could sell the albums?
Idol rep: Huh? Oh .. uhmm No NO. If you have been signed in the past by another record company you are ineligible for the show, We'd have to send you home.
David: But uhhh I'm the only contestant left that hasn't previously signed, or connected to the shows people.
Idolrep: and we'd like to keep it that way. It's very complicated.
David: Screw you. I want a payoff to keep quiet.
... I don't know, I imagine something like that.
Forget what the article sez
Forget what the article sez about Cunty. I LMAO at what they had to say about OUR darling, Brooke:
"Jason Castro isn't much of a vocalist – cute, but not much of a vocalist. Syesha Mercado is too cutesy by half. And...Brooke White...where to even start with Brooke?... the baldfaced liar who claimed Tuesday was the first time she's flubbed a song and had to start again (it wasn't. She did the same things with 'Let it Be')... and who always looks like the love of her life is leaving her for another and she's saying "It's OK. Just GO! I just want YOU to be happy! All that matters is YOUR HAPPINESS!" before she goes off to join a convent. She drives me bananas."
Yeah, that chick got some
Yeah, that chick got some facts wrong...it was "Every Breath You Take" that she flubbed. And that was when the judges totally contradicted what they said this week about starting and stopping by practically praising her for being "professional" enough to start over when it didn't start right. Idiots.

She also did it during Hollywood week with "Beautiful." They didn't show it when they originally aired her audition, but later they did a montage near the end of that week that showed her restart the beginning. Arrrrgh, I wish I could find that on YouTube. I definitely remember it though.
Yeah that article was
Yeah that article was written by a Worster, closet Worster, or a Lurking Worster! It was funny!!
Interesting. I guess the
Interesting. I guess the only non-plant now is Jason "High as a Kite" Castro.
P.S.: I guess David stopped shooting up heroine after this picture was taken? Honestly, this picture makes him look [more] horrible [than he already is]!

Cunty's album has been on
Cunty's album has been on amazon all this time and from what I saw - sold pretty well.
But wait a second... I forgot... Carly Hennessy and Carly Smithson are not the same person. Right?
I think that this is the
I think that this is the main reason Carly was put on this show. Her former record company had a shit load of copies of her crappy cd and wanted a cheap way to try and sell the remainder. Also they wanted to get a little of that 2 million they spent on the Bitch.
I find it really hard to
I find it really hard to believe, but I guess some people really like Carly. Go figure and to each their own.

Ew - thanks for the link if
Ew - thanks for the link if only so I can try to fathom why this woman, Ann Powers, is so far up O'Planty's ass Here's a quote:
I expect my drubbing of Brooke in the face of Carly’s departure will get some hate mail. But I have to stand up for the woman who showed the most passion, the strongest need to sing, of any contestant this season. I’ll confess, now that it doesn’t matter any more, that the very qualities others hate in Carly make her admirable to me.
Carly understands psychic darkness. She shows her humanity, but never apologizes for it. She has a sexual side. She loves to rock and to push her voice to the limit. Her ruling emotion is fury, not bashfulness. Carly Smithson is not a princess. She is a queen. I hope the pop world still allows her some corner in which to rule.
So desperation is now passion? Psychic darkness? Is that a Wiccan thing? Her ruling emotion is fury? Why is that good? The strongest need to sing? Don't you mean the strongest need to take a dump on stage?
Carly is a queen? I always thought she was a guy in drag...
Honestly, this writer has to be getting paid by someone. Or on crack. I mean, no one in their right mind would like O'Planty, would they? It's like liking Hitler. Or Ronald McDonald. You know, things that are evil.
Well maybe the writer is one
Well maybe the writer is one of the 300 people that have bought Carly's album.
I wonder if all these people that say Carly is so great have bothered to check out her album. Why weren't they fans of her the first time around? If Carly's fan base is so huge now because of Idol, shouldn't her old record be selling like crazy now? She only has 20 user reviews on Amazon.
Ha! I posted this topic on
Ha! I posted this topic on that fucking website. And I have been banned...TWICE
Now why is that? I wonder.
The "From Justin to Kelly"
The "From Justin to Kelly" video is available on Amazon for $0.96 - I think it is overpriced.
Lol I never saw that movie
Lol I never saw that movie then I heard it sucked so I was glad.
You made me LOL!
You made me LOL!
Thank God it didn't explode.
Thank God it didn't explode. It would have been such a big mess.
I think it's funny that they
I think it's funny that they accuse her of "boldface lying" when THEY get their facts wrong - it wasn't "Let It Be" is was "Every Breath You Take" that she started over when she was playing the piano. She didn't forget the lyrics that time - she just started over because she must have hit the wrong note on the piano.
if you search for Brooke
if you search for Brooke White, it lists all the 2008 Idol albums, Kristy Lee etc. except the David Cook they list has a disclaimer "not the American Idol David Cook"
That's a different David
That's a different David Cook -- a jazz musician -- who had the misfortune of getting a couple of one star reviews simply for being the wrong musician. I like how Amazon covered their own asses by posting this disclaimer, but left the unfair bad reviews. I feel sorry for the guy.
Hmm, they definitely should
Hmm, they definitely should pull Brooke's album off of Amazon too if they're gonna remove Combover Cook's. Although I guess Amazon is only selling Brooke's album used through outside sellers. I'm sure the Idol producers had Combover's album removed because they don't eant anyone but them making money off of him.
David Cook has a combover!
But really, people were buying David Cook's album?!?
I saw" Broke's" : ) album
I saw" Broke's" : ) album yesterday on there. No fair but maybe they are afraid she will cry.
