They're going to end up ruining all of the accessibility that he has with his fans if they keep this shit up. Twats.

What is that video about exactly? I'm afraid to ask but I'm doing it anyway. I still like "Light On" so much and can't believe it wasn't a bigger hit. It did get more play as time went on though and I still hear it occasionally. Considering he's had so so airplay, his CD has sold pretty well. Cookie <3

Maybe even Declaration, but I'm not a huge fan of that one. Come Back To Me = meh. I like it alone in my car, or alone in my room, or just alone in general, but I just don't see it doing that great on radio. ADAM on the other hand would kick ass - like Daughtry's singles have. Bar-ba-sol to rock stations? OK. We'll see how this goes. It might go well, it might not, but good on them for testing the waters while releasing another single elsewhere.

Yeah, then they'll turn on him like when he announced his college tour was just that..for colleges. WTF is the mentality just b/c you like a celebrity you own him/her? jesus just enjoy the music and videos and be happy.

Hey everyone, First off, I want to say thank you to everyone who has been coming out to the shows since my last post. The vibe at these shows has been amazing. Secondly, I have to address some behavior that has become disturbing. We pride ourselves on being accessible to you as fans, but in contrast, we do enjoy what little privacy we can muster. To that end, the efforts by some fans to find our hotel rooms, call our hotel rooms, attach things to our bus, etc., is something I have to condemn. This relationship only works when it remains healthy for both parties, and should this behavior continue, the only thing we can do is take more preventative measures to maintain our privacy, which in turn makes us less accessible to you. I hope this doesn't come off as harsh. I merely want to nip this in the bud so we can continue to have a great experience with all of you at the shows we have coming up. Take care and see you at the next show. ~D Link Just want to let you know, this has been pretty much the talk of the DC fan sites for at least the past week or so (mainly, from the Home of the Word Nerds fan site). Overwhelmingly, most of his loyal fans...agree with him on this assessment, and normally let David and the guys have their own personal space. Basically, these is to be focused on the few rotten apples (that absolutely condone these actions) in the overall friendly and suppotive DC fanhood that has developed for the past year or so. Something to consider.

I say that as someone who is not a teen or 20-something. Thinking back to concerts in my college days, I had hoped that the college venues would be closed to anyone who did not, you know, attend the college. Fans who are of a certain age, carting fantardy signs and worse and following him to every concert have to be disappointing to him, even as gracious as he is. I'm okay if I never see him in concert again (I saw the AI tour,) as long as he does well and becomes successful. I know I'll catch crap in here for saying all this. That's fine. I am still a Cooktard, but I am one because I think he deserves success, not because I need to get something out of it, other than the music. It's too bad that some idiot, delusional stalker fans will ruin it for others, but if I were him I'd stop the meet and greets. I wonder if he is contractually obligated to do them until his AI reign is over. Do other artists always do these before and after concerts? I don't even know.

Posts: 5644 (03/25/09 12:18 AM) Registered user Reply Quote More Recent Posts	As much as I love David, his blog asking his fans not to go to his hotel and stalk him was very Diva/J.Lo. He should have known once you become famous, that's what comes with it. Like it or not, it is the game he is in and chose to be in. Like the old saying goes, if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. He can't have complete privacy ever out of his house. He is a brand name and a celebrity on his own level. Is it right? No, but it is what it is. You can't change the game but play along with it. That's why when celebrities cry foul over being stalked by paprazzi or fans coming to hotel rooms and appearing in their closets or being stalked by crazy fans, I just laugh. These days, people up and coming know exactly what it is all about. I love David and I hate Perez but he's got a point.

Posts: 5648 (03/25/09 1:12 AM) Registered user Reply Quote More Recent Posts	You're right, we don't know the extremes they go to. I do feel for celebs on a certain level, some of it is just insane. But the other side of me says you know exactly what its all about, we all see it. It kinda irks me when they make it big then start bitching 24/7 about the Hollywood bubble like Gwenyth Paltrow does and Chris Martin. He has a point in his blog but I don't feel sorry for him at the end of the day, he knew the Idol bubble, he knew what it could be. Many artists would give up their child for the chance to have fans stalking them into hotels. It's not as fun when it happens IRL but no one sees it that way when they are not famous and are living paycheque to paycheque barely surviving as artists. No such thing as a free lunch in life, Idol is the same way. There is always a price to pay.

I think he's just asking people to cool it and stop acting so psycho. Just because it happens to celebrities now and then doesn't make it right and it doesn't mean that David doesn't have the right to speak up about it. Maybe more celebrities should take his lead and say the same thing. I know if I was in his position, I would... then again, I'm not exactly someone who keeps their mouth shut, either

I love you but I disagree with you completely. Being stalked shouldn't be part of the territory, not for David, not for any of the other celebrities. Papparazzi are assholes but whatevers they're taking pictures of you when you're out in public but they aren't calling up to your hotel room. I don't think David would post something like it unless it was getting really bad and based on some of the things I've read these bitches are being highly inappropriate. I also think more celebrities should open up their traps and bitch if people are stalking them. Some celebs are definitely diva assholes but Cookie is not.
