Hospitalized!

Filed under: American Idol

Here come all the sympathy votes!

American Idol contestant David Cook was rushed to the emergency room following the taping of Tuesday night's show.

What happened????

Cook's heart was palpitating at a high rate and his blood pressure was high as well.

Producers were said to want him to go to the hospital before the show ended, but David wanted to stay until it was over.

This all sounds like a publicity stunt to us!

Update: He's been treated (meds to bring down his high blood pressure) and released from the hospital already!

Cook is expected to have a checkup again in a few days.

      David doesn't need sympathy votes. He's the best performer/artist on the show.

      if he is so concerned with the poor health of his brother, shouldn't he be spending every moment with him instead of trying to personally gain through AI? it's hard to feel badly for someone who is exactly where they want to be!

      He has talent, but his personality SUCKS. He needs to be more humble, and not the arrogant douche he seems like on the show.

      I think his music is wonderful. Even though he has to sing covers that could border on karaoke-ish, he makes them his own. Even if he were cut tonight he'd have a HUGE career. And I'd be first in line to buy his music. He doesn't need a sympathy vote, he has the popular vote already!
      And of course his heard was racing! He's probably running around rehearsing all the time, barely sleeping from nerves, and then he stands in front of an audience of millions 3 times a week! Give them all a break (even though some of the AI contestants shouldn't even be allowed to sing in the shower).

      That's pretty low, Perez. You owe this guy and everyone who cares about him an apology. Be a man and admit you made a stupid comment.
