Another week of AI begins!
Tuesday's episode airs at 8 p.m. David Cook's cancer-striken brother Adam will reportedly be in the audience. He's already flown in to Los Angeles from Terre Haute, Ind., this article reports. Here's a summary, according to the Terre Haute Tribune-Star:
...Adam, leaning on a cane, waved to friends and family before embarking on the improbable trip, which almost didn't happen when doctors grounded the lawyer's flight earlier in the week after determining that he could not fly commercially due to his condition. He is undergoing chemotherapy for his second diagnosis of brain cancer, which has spread to his spine. Luckily for Adam, who practiced law in Terre Haute until his condition worsened, his friends and a local councilman rallied behind him and arranged for an all-expenses-paid flight on a chartered medical jet, with a flight medic and flight nurse onboard to make sure he is stable. A local radio station also threw in a paid stay in a hotel just across the street from the Los Angeles studio where the "Idol" finalists perform.
The total cost of the flight and medical assistance is nearly $80,000.
In other news, the AI songwriting contest is happening again. Check out the finalists here.

That's an expensive concert trip! It would be a shame if this is the week David completely bombs and then gets kicked off.
