David Cook looked no worse for wear at American Idol’s most recent episode. He had been hospitalized with high blood pressure and heart palpitations, but seemed perfectly relaxed when he returned to sing Dolly Parton’s “Little Sparrow.”

“The whole thing kind of got blown out of proportion,” Cook told host Ryan Seacrest. “I have high blood pressure, and it spiked, so they took me to the nearest hospital. But I’m cool. I’m not going anywhere.”
