American Idol is on the ball this year with booking past contestants. David Cook is the next Idol to take to the stage on May 10. He will be performing a brand new song for his fans called "The Last Song I'll Write for You" -- which he did actually write.

His latest album This Loud Morning dropped last summer, June 2011.

Previously, Haley Reinhart, Stefano Langone, Scotty McCreery, and Lauren Alaina have performed. Also, Carrie Underwood takes the stage tonight, May 3, and Adam Lambert on May 17. Phew!
