I had to read a certain paragraph of this article 3 times to make sure I got this right. Now normally, I never come for journalists who write anything less than gushing praise for Adam... But WTF? Did I really just read the most random David Cook name drop ever? WTF does David Cook (or any Idol contestant) have to do with absolutely anything this article is about? Adam can't hold a candle to David Cook, of all people? lmaoooooooooooooooooo #HesNoCookie I was just about to ask the same question; do you think we're misunderstanding something here? " that runner-up" seems like a strange way to talk about Adam at this point. It's as if he's not been mentioned before, and then he goes straight into high-approval mode ![SadSmilie](//storage.proboards.com/3270318/images/8yodjcxMfIaDAPQeS9K3.png) I just assumed that the writer got his years messed up, and thought that Cook was the winner Adam's year. But, I guess the writer could just be thinking of Cook as a rocker and Adam as not? Still, it is unrelated to the point of the article. I think the writer likes Adam and Queen for this tour, tho', right?

I'm thinking he had a word count requirement for the article and needed 25 more. Bam! there you go.

Yeah, I was pissed when I read that. So where is David Cook now? Well, he left the light on last time I checked, so it's no wonder nobody's trying to hold any candles to him. I was just about to ask the same question; do you think we're misunderstanding something here? I read it 5 times and I don't know what else it could possibly mean? Adam was born in Indiana and is a runner up AND the subject of the article... Meh, I'm filing this one under the category of "misguided public stanning of irrelevant people in the wrong environment". So he liked David Cook.. so did Adam and a lot of others.. That's writers opinion,I'm giving him a pass, He's allowed...He still thinks Adam is great

I am saying that there's a time and place to express your opinion, especially as a professional journalist. This is not the right time nor place. Cook is completely irrelevant to the article.

At least he didn't say Adam is no Freddie,he said Adam is no David Cook..LOL;) Ya know I am just so over all the Adam is this ,he's not that.. I don't especially care for all the gay references either...He can prance around the stage ,so good choice for Queen...Forgive me guys ,I'm a little on edge from reading all this stuff from reporters. Also get sad when Queen feels they have to defend playing their own music & going on the road with Adam... So over it.. The Show Must Go On.... done and done..HUGS Y'all

I think this is too funny. First he berts, then he is threatened by a David Cook fan to write at least SOMETHING, even something random about his idol, and after completing this request, he is berting again.... ![GrinSmiliey](http://i770.photobucket.com/albums/xx348/Quu3/Adam%20Smilys/Other%20Smileys/grin.png) I hope this poor chap is doing okay! ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

Not that Cook cannot sing but comparing Adam's vocally and stage presence to Cook is too much and out of line. As much pain as it is to keep reading Adam's no Freddie, but comparing him to a "nobody who's not relevant" anymore, doesn't make any sense to me. JMHO.

"can't hold a candle to" IS an insult - no way that is not an insult. no way. I give him no pass. ![O_o](//storage.proboards.com/3270318/images/lgCwmZTpdMnktCc5QF4i.png) and what in the hell does David Cook have to do with it anyway. ![BigLaugh](//storage.proboards.com/3270318/images/qbrnqbsXzTklFWaXaRQQ.gif)
