American Idol Updates @ BLOGGED

I’m not a big NBA fan but I tuned into the finals last Tuesday just to watch a huge David Cook gig – performing the national anthem minutes before Kevin Garnett from the Celtics and Kobe Bryant from the Lakers take centerstage. This was Cook’s first appearance ever at a major sports event, and is part of a tradition of American Idol winners singing the national anthem before the NBA Finals kick off. I thought he did a really great job – he had a confident but not arrogant swagger, and perfect control of his voice. For those who missed David’s performance, don’t worry – here’s a YouTube video you can watch over and over again!
