So, this radio DJ interviewed Cook sometime after he won AI, and was set on asking some personal questions. While he wasn't allowed to ask most of them, as he explained after the interview, he did get away with one - surprisingly, I might add. You can listen to the interview HERE, but it's pretty long and hard to find the small segment I'm referring to, so I typed up a rough transcript here to make things easier.
--
DJ: Now, I'm not going to put you on the spot, and you can answer no comment on this, and I'm cool with it. But the rumor out today is, uh, Archuleta is gay, um...and if you say no to that, it's fine, but...
Cook: Wow.
DJ: It's true! That's what, I mean, and you - and no one know him, uh, on this show right now better than you...
Cook: Uh, I mean, he's seventeen years old, you know?
Other DJ (girl): Some people know it at five!
Cook: You know what, here's - here's what I going to say. Um, i

Those who believe there is any kind of association or relationship between Phillip D. and David A. are gullible idiots. Those who would never support a gay performer are simply bigots and nothing or nobody will ever change their sad little minds. If a performer is gay it is no wonder that he might want to hide it from his fans when there are so many bigots and idiots.

I completely agree with you KENNY on this Phillip Dagget guy. He is just using David A. If in fact there together, which they probably are, due to all the info out there. I'm sure there trying to hide everything due to the AGE and his new fame of his. Which I don't think it will last!! He is not that good. GO COOK!!!! HE WILL ROCK IT!!
Come on. David A. would probably believe anything this Phillip D. say's. The lack of experience of David A. would be a very easy target. This Phillip guy must have the mind of a teenager!
No, I'm not gay. I would never support any gay performer.
If David A. can't come to truth about his sexual preforance. Then what else is he hiding from his fans.

David Archuleta is not gay, he is not saying anything about him not being gay despite of all the rumors because nobody really asked him straight questions about it. You know David, he is a very nice and respectful person and he is that kind of a person who doesn't like to deal with dramas, he said that himself. So I believe if someone really interview him and ask him about that, I believe he will say he is not coz he is NOT. So please stop accusing this nice kid and please stop connecting his name to this Philip whoever daggett. This philip guy just clearly wants to have a piece of Archuleta's growing fame. Be ashamed of yourself Philip whether you are a real person or just a made-up character created by bad media or some lousy individuals who don't have the heart.

I used to be ignorant like everybody else and judge gayness based on hobbies and interests. I'd always wonder if the drama guys and chorus guys were gay. Some were, some weren't. It's especially hard to tell when you're dealing with a unusually innocent 17 year old like DA. It's hard to believe that wholesome kids still exist but it makes me happy. Even if he's gay, he's very wholesome and appears to be religious. It really didn't cross my mind that Archie would be gay. DC was rude to discuss Archie's personal life PERIOD! But to engage in speculation like that was HORRENDOUS. David Archuleta isn't calling himself gay so it must be the truth. Or at least the only truth we have. DC obviously didn't want to bash gay people or OUT Archuleta without knowing anything but I think he should have just said simply that it's not true and it's really none of anyone's business. Because I don't believe for one second that Archuleta is calling himself gay. Maybe he is gay but he doesn't look like

May 30th, 2008 4:07 AM
people should really stop visiting this site, if they're only going to leave stupid comments which are all lies. why can't you just leave him alone. STOP IT. HE'S NOT GAY. HE'S NOT INVOLVED IN ANY OF THOSE DIRTY PEOPLE ARE SAYING. HE'S SUCH A NICE GUY. HE HAS A STRONG FAITH AND HAS GREAT LOVE FOR HIS FAMILY. HE PUTS HIS CAREER AND STUDIES BEFORE RELATIONSHIPS. HE EVEN SAYS HE'S TOO YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND THOSE KINDS OF FEELINGS YET. BUT HE'LL KNOW WHEN HE'S READY TO HAVE A GIRLFRIEND. AND DOES ANY OF YOU ACTUALLY THINK THAT IT'S IN HIS PERSONALITY TO DO STUFF LIKE THOSE? IT'S JUST SO UNLIKELY. THINK ABOUT IT GUYS.
that's just proof enough. a very nice guy doesn't deserve bad things said about him. better just leave him and let him do what he loves best, and that's SINGING. saying mean stuff about an absolutely innocent person won't do you any good. no matter what, he'll be successful coz he has won millions of people's hearts.

It's SO sick that you all are trying to tear apart a 17 year old kid. He's adorable, extremely talented and unbelievable sweet. Like Paula, I want to squish him! If ever I meet him, I want to pinch his cheeks lol
As curious as I am about all those rumors, leave the poor kid alone. It's disgusting how you all are going after him. You know, if you pathetic trash would focus your time and effort and money elsewhere, this world can be a better place.
Go play in traffic, all of you.

Ugh. Go Straight doesn't know the Bible very well. Read the story about men from that city wanting to humiliate foreigners and show them who was boss by gang-raping them.
It's not talking about gay people, and certainly not a loving same-sex couple.
But back to the real interest of this column:
Does anyone know how many of the Idols are going on this tour? I'd love to see and hear David A. sing.
He is one fine singer.
Does anyone know what he might be singing on the tour? I've never been to an Idol Tour Concert.

May 28th, 2008 4:41 PM
Who Cares if he is gay... I mean really if he wants it hidded then he should... people shouldnt care about his sexual preference its not YOUR BUSINESS or anyone else... He has AN AMAZING VOICE AND HE WILLL SUCCEED IN WHATEVER HE DOES.... People should support people who are gay straight bi transexual they are people too and they should have the same rights as heteorsexuals its not fair to them and people who are haters or homophobic should not decide whether or not their lives are right or wrong... homosexuals do not that to you so get over it... Seriously GET OVER IT!!!!! So many Places have Gay Marriage its ridiculous even Priest here will wed gay people.... But anyways If David is GAY i will still support him in whatever he does because i don't reallly care about his sexual orientation and other people shouldnt either and other people will realize that and so everyone has haters i do u do everyone does!!!!

May 28th, 2008 9:50 AM
David A. is GAY!!!
Let him be though. He is the one who going to have to live with all the HATER's out there.
Still a lot of people do not and will never except GAY's. I don't hate David A. I wouldn't buy his CD. Its just not my type of music. He does have a great voice.
I just dont like the fact he does freak with guys.
I would never support anyone GAY by buying his or her CD.
His sexual choice of being GAY will destroy him!! They know it, thats why its all being hidden.

MOST OF THE PEOPLE ESPECIALLY WCR SAID THIS TO LOSE ALL YOUR FANS, WHY ON EARTH IS HE DOING ALL THESE BEFORE THE FINALE, AND AFTER YOUR FINALE, HE SUDDENLY IS GONE, IM SURE HE IS LAUGHING NOW AND THINKING THAT WE ARE FOOLS TO BELIEVE IN SUCH NONESENSE, WELL, I KNOW GOD WILL FIND A WAY, BEST OF LUCK, DAV

but i think that phillip daggett is a friend or good friend of david. but not boyfriend. i think david treating philip as a brother! (my opinion) hehe!

You are assuming that there is some hidden "truth" to come out. That's your first mistake, looking for things that aren't there.
The above poster claiming to be David's sibling did have a point. David's personal life is not our business, just as your personal life, Melanie, is none of his concern.
