Now no worrying what Simon says

David Cook had "American Idol" fans at "Hello." When the 25-year-old from Blue Springs, Mo., put a rock spin on the Lionel Richie ballad in the "Idol" semifinals, it was the start of a love affair that led to his victory on the show in May. Tonight and tomorrow, fans can say hello to Cook as he and the rest of the top 10 come to the Nassau Coliseum for the "American Idols Live" tour.

Cook recently chatted by phone from Rochester, N.Y., about the tour, his album due in November and Simon Cowell.

What's been the best part of being on the "Idols Live" tour?

The cool thing is that we're all doing our own set, although I get two more songs than everyone else. So everybody's got their own vibe and they've got their own songs. And not worrying about being judged or voted on has really helped us all open up a lot. It's made us all stronger performers.
