OK, I love Peter Frampton [yes, I have Frampton Comes Alive and purchased it when if was originally released], and think it was great he stopped to see them. Also loved that he and Cookie chatted about the Faux-Frampton moment a couple of episodes ago.

wow, I will never forget when one of my high school buddies was swooning on the hockey field during PE class about Peter Frampton’s concert during his Frampton Comes Alive Days. She was using her hockey stick as a microphone of course. That was his superstar breakthrough. So, is he a guest mentor for an upcoming episode??

And now I know what Gina’s up to! good for her. I don’t get that TV guide channel anymore. (The upside is that I don’t need to suffer through loudmouth Kim Caldwell and mushmouth Justin Guarini any more.)

Dang, I have no doubt that they were all very humbled, but another reason for the quietness has got to be that they all look dead tired. Happy, but tired.

Ohh, Archie’s face when Peter Frampton walked into the room – absolutely priceless!!!! Why do you have to be so insanely cute David??

Is it just me or does David Cook resemble Keanu Reeves in that picture? Yes, I’m gonna be the one to trash the Archie lover party…I LOVE DAVID COOK! *drooling over DC*

JMlover: I agree with you – it seems like David Cook is getting hotter and hotter every week. Oh, and he sings very well too!

I second JMlover’s notion- DCook’s little face in that video is adorkable.

We need a Cookie appreciation thread. Haha.

Did any of you catch what Cook was saying to Frampton? I couldn’t hear it clearly enough.

Oh my gosh, I just youtube’d “peter frampton” and found this–great song and voice. I’ve heard it before but didn’t quite place the name and all.

Peter Frampton!! Where has he been all these years? Looking a lot like a high school science teacher, it seems. I don’t think we’ve ever seen Jason that awake before! haha

Bree23, Cook thanked Frampton for giving him the inspiration to use a talk box.

eww, JMlover, you’re a little bit right about the Keanu Reeves resemblance, and *I’m not likin’ it*. Cook is sexier.

Breakin’ into the the (deserved) Cook lovefest to say that Archie’s awkwardness is so adorable!

How fun is that! I loved Frampton back in the day, he looks quite different (don’t we all) but I still think he is great. With the idols being so young, I wonder if all of them realize what a big a star he was in the 70’s?

I have the Frampton Comes Alive album (literally) courtesy of my brother, thank you. Ain’t tellin’ how I got, though, lol! He was a big-time rock fan back in the day & purchased an entire collection of rock group hits.

The rock star cutie once recognized as much for his talent as his golden locks, is now, as laff stated, “Looking a lot like a high school science teacher, it seems.” That was funny!

David Cook is da man!

Jason Castro is 1 cool dude!

Well, props to Jason for being familiar with Peter Frampton and actually being the first in the group to acknowledge him with a hearty “Hello!” I must admit, it was a pleasant diversion from his usual “stoner” vibe.
