Some times I wonder if David Cook said the sky was blue if there wouldn’t be backlash started because he wasn’t specific enough with the shade or the comment was insensitive to color blind fans.  

I’m referring to the constant backlash Cook receives on his own website’s message board but specifically the fact that he has performed songs from his former band Midwest Kings. The band, which contained him along with Neal and Andy, usually had Andy Skib as the lead singer but obviously Andy is not performing them now.  People apparently think that David Cook being the lead singer at a David Cook concert is insulting or self satisfying to do when Andy is there.  

The guy fills half of his band with old friends, whom people have now become fans of because of him. If that isn’t enough he promotes their music by doing it at his shows. He’s made them stars and people think that it’s selfish for him to actually be the lead singer on his own tour?!  

I doubt Andy has a problem with it; we all know how David is.  I’m sure he asked him dozens of times about it and probably second guesses it when he hears that there is backlash. If he performs it at more than one show, than you know Andy doesn’t have a problem with it. Frankly, if FAMOUS singes (people who actually have a name for themselves not because of David) like Mariah and Lionel Richie love that he performs their songs his friends must be over the moon.
