What Makes David Cook More Nervous Than Simon Cowell?

Josephine Santos, PacificCoastNews.com
Here is David Cook looking oh so cool and collected at the wrap party for the seventh season of American Idol. And why shouldn’t he look so cool? He may here, but there are a few things that gets him a little shaky, yes, even more than performing in front of Simon Cowell. Last night your American Idol sang the national anthem at an NBA playoff game, and he was sweating more than a little, having described the experience as the scariest thing he’s ever done. About the performance David said performing for the NBA was much more difficult than performing for American Idol, particularly given that the song is not only difficult to sing, but one you simply can not mess up in front of America. Whether it was the difficulty of the song, or the fact that Jack Nicholson was sitting in the front row that made him nervous, David was a little shaky even well after his performance. The only thing that calmed him down a little, was knowing he wouldn’t have to hear, from Simon, how dreadful it was following the performance. But, as usual, your American Idol had absolutely nothing to worry about. He nailed the anthem and was very relieved it was all over. And to cheer him on? His latest squeeze, girlfriend Kimberly Caldwell. You may remember this blonde bombshell from Idol’s second season. Yes, albeit a little shaky, David is doing well on ALL accounts.
