Earlier they were saying Barack Obama would also drop by SNL on Nov. 1. And now I've heard John McCain will be on. So, it's either one, the other, or both.....

In the meantime, here's a video that is being played at Walmart, featuring David and his new band. (Apparently, if you pre-order the "album" on Itunes, you get one extra bonus track and if you pre-order at Walmart, you get another *different* bonus track. I'm not sure what you get if you pre-order at Amazon.)

Also, here are two promos for David's SNL appearances that have been playing on NBC last night and today:

Oh...thanks Sandlyn. Once again you are our fountain of info on Mr. David Cook. That SNL thing was cute. He looks a little nervous though. I do hope he sings some new songs and not the one they stuck him with right off AI. Not that it's not a good song, but I can see him singing songs that have more meat on the bones. He's got a fantastic voice and I hope it's not wasted on sweet little ballads.

I would be surprised if he sang "Time of My Life." Instead, I expect that we'll here his new single, "Light On," which has been playing on some radio stations, etc. and, I'm guessing, some other song from his new CD.

Also, McCain, Palin and Tina Fey are on tonight. I love the Tina Fey thing.

Yay, Sandlynn to the rescue once again with possible links of his performance. I'm going to try to stay up, guys. After all, this is the end of DST, so the clocks are bounced back an hour. That means, xina, it starts at 10:30 when you look at it that way, even though the clock will say 11:30. I know, we don't turn down until way early in the morning, but I still have an extra hour someplace there.

Okay, Tee, David's two performances on Saturday Night Live have been uploaded to various sites and YouTube.

On this site you'll find his first performance: "Light On." Just scroll down a little to the photo with him and his band and click on the arrow:

Here is the second song: "Declaration." Someone uploaded it to YouTube and called it "Kevin" so that NBC won't find it and take it down. Wink

However, if they do take it down, it's also here:

I knew you'd have some links up and ready to go, Sandlynn. At least, I was hoping you would. I watched just about a half hour of SNL last nite, but I knew I wasn't going to make it to 1:00am. And either xina or you said Cook would probably come near the end. Actually, if the skits in that first half hour would have been a little more humorous, I might have been tempted. But they were kind of dull.

Turn a Light On is catching on with me; however, Declaration sounded really good. I like how his physical image has evolved from first being on American Idol. He looks fantastic.

So, you're my hero (heroess?) once again, Sandlynn.

thanks sandlynn for your postings! I will watch them later, I'm sort of short of time right now. I watched the entire show...yes, Tee, the skits were a little dull last night. I wonder about McCain showing up. He ,was funny, but my goodness, he's cutting it close. As for David Cook...loved his songs and I enjoyed watching his drummer too! Sandlynn, are those guys his original band? I thought his voice sounded very rich and gritty. He sounded so much like Chris Daughtry at times, I expected him to break out into a "It's Not Over". I did think Cook's band overwhelmed him in the second song and that might be why he ripped his earpiece out. (?) He looked good...ever bit the rock star. I'm hoping the radio station I listen to (an Alternative channel) will start playing his song. They didn't play his first but it was a bit too much pop.
