American Idol Season 9

[LiLIrishChick63]

Lindsay Rose is the daughter of a Fox reporter here in Tampa. She has a rare disease. She picked David as her favorite before his season began and her dad asked David if he'd wear her bracelet on the show. He's worn it ever since. She was at DC's concert here in St. Pete and DC said they'd had a pizza party before hand.

omg brb....getting the kleenex!!!

What's that?

Well I don't know the story exactly, it's been a while, but when he was on Idol, a father sent him the orange bracelet, saying he made them for his daughter with Leukemia and was selling them to help with funds for her cancer treatment, and her name was Lindsay. Since David had a connection with cancer (his brother died from it ), he decided to wear it on the show, and he eventually met the girl, who was a HUGE fan of his. Ever since then, he's worn it EVERYWHERE, no matter where he goes, to keep the thought around I think. I think her dad was a reporter or something, I'm not sure. He had a significant job though, I'm not sure what.

really touching, actually.

(EDIT: Yeah, I was close enough. Alright for DC memories! haha)

No. They didn't want it to be publicized on the show, I don't think. I found out through david-cook.org and one of his BFFs I used to talk with on there.


and WOW! That girl looks so much better! I almost didn't recognize her! O_O

 

[Robinrs]

Wow, she looks beautiful now!!

 

[krcit]

Annie Lennox is AWESOME!

I think it may have been mentioned at the end briefly, but I knew from our local Fox station (of course.)

 

[Cat0727]

These kids' faces..I just want to pick em up and hug them.

It's so sad when the innocent end up with a disease like AIDS....

 

[Robinrs]

Stop making me cry Annie Lennox!

Me, too....

I wonder why they didn't do IGB last year? It felt a little empty without it, IMO.
