Jesse McCartney Celebrates New LP, Future David Cook Collabo

5/22/08, 6:51 pm EST

Jesse McCartney is known for being a child actor, pop dreamboat and consistently the most celebrated person at the Kids Choice Awards. But he’s also half the brains behind last year’s highest-grossing song in the U.K., Leona Lewis‘ sultry ballad “Bleeding Love,” and the owner of two Number One singles, a platinum record and a rack of Radio Disney trophies that would make Miley Cyrus jealous. Not bad for a dude who started out balancing soap opera roles with a tap-dancing boy band (Wiki search: Dream Street. Hilarious.) Rock Daily stopped by McCartney’s release party for Departure at New York’s Marquee last night and learned McCartney has good reason to be psyched that David Cook won American Idol. “Ryan [Tedder of OneRepublic] and I are planning to write some songs with him for his album,” he said. So does he have any regrets about giving “Bleeding Love” (which he also penned with Tedder) away? “No, no,” he said. “I’m so happy for Leona. She deserves it. There are really no bad feelings.”

He’s the bomb – and has not been taken as seriously as he should be. He sang for Stevie Wonder’s grammy celebration one year and held his own in the company of some pretty intimidating talent. I was impressed. So was Mr Wonder.
I think we are seeing the tip of the iceberg with this young man. He’s got it goin’ on.

These pop hacks better not ruin David Cook. On his pre-Idol music, David Cook has proven that he is an incredible song writer.

Cookie’s legions of fans are awaiting more songs written by him, but we’ll take THE VOICE any way we can get it…
Pop songs like Always Be My Baby can at times showcase his wide vocal range and chops better than rock anthems. Anyone who doesn’t know about Cook’s indie songs check out Analog Heart or any of the songs by his old band, Axium.

Jesse McCartney co-wrote Bleeding Love?

I already know people are gonna be freaking thinking Jesse and Tedder will just put a whole bunch of pop mess on Cook’s album but these guys have written a lot of powerful, amazing songs. And Cook has already shown he has song writing and arrangement talent so he can give input too. I think the three of them will be a great collaboration. Cook’s going to the top no matter what!

This is freaky. And I know there are people who will be making fun of me. ;) I guess. But they rock.

I totally agree with Sam’s assessment about Tedder’s songwriting ability. Anyone who’s listened to One Republic’s music knows that he will mesh with Cook’s style really well!

Dream Street never tap-danced, and Dream Street provided Jesse McCartney with his first platinum record. Boy band basher you may be, but they were what opened the doors for McCartney and without the Dream Street fanbase, “Beautiful Soul” would not have achieved the popularity that it did. Get your facts straight before you slander the hard work done by young kids who achieved more than most artists ever do, Rolling Stone. I am appalled.

No bubble gum music for David Cook as far as I’m concerned. I don’t care if they help him with song writing and it rocks but if it sounds like pop drivel I’m not buying it.
