Some More Nuggets From Cook and Syesha

EW.com posted new interviews with David Cook and Syesha Mercado that revealed some interesting nuggets…

Syesha told Michael Slezak that she was “not feeling” “Hit Me Up,” but she never agreed with his sabotage theory. However, Carly told her the next week that she couldn’t believe she got stuck with that song and even Cook could only shake his head when Slezak mentioned it to him…

Speaking of Carly, Cook says that he and Jason Castro may back her up on a version of Heart’s “Barracuda” on the tour (Cook would play guitar while Castro would play the drums.)…

Slezak revealed that Mariah Carey wants Cook to record “Always Be My Baby.” Cook said it’s something they’re discussing. Anybody else think that maybe Mariah is counting some dollar signs?...

Cook also had some interesting thoughts on those “Idol” group sings. Cook admitted that toward the end, they got pretty painful. When Slezak said he did a good job at containing his pain, Cook said, “Thank God for that theater background”…
