Baba O'Riley - David Cook [HQ] 

he killed this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Terrific cover...your voice David is awesome! You are a true Idol, keep rocking! Love your concerts...I can't believe you are on concet #98!

You guys don't realize that if he covered the whole song it would've taken too long. They only get a certain amount of time to sing so with what he was given, he did a pretty excellent job in my opinion.

Am I the only one here that actually liked this song? I think he did a great job.

He's so talented and he's got an awesome taste in music! =)))

love this song

i love this song mainly because cook sang it. cook rocks! he's iconic himself! detractors, he'll stand the test of time!

he nailed it. like he did every single week. (:

Blame TV for that reason. But I LOVE the arrangement in and of itself. Almost like an acoustic version.

Great song by my fave Idol!

I love this.

why are people putting your comment as negative?? totally agree with you!!

OMG! that's too short!!! I want more!!!!

welcome back David Cook!

I don't think there was a studio version of this done, was there? This was a teaser...I needed MORE!!!

...when I saw this “live” I really liked it and thought it was so good. Now, in 2020, it’s SO average. Not bad. Not good. Just...😑 Edit: this is a bit rough by me. I guess I was in a bad mood.

It's okay... I really didn't expect him to sing that good... I mean he can't produce the same kind of voice as someone that's around 65now.

I agree with you, except that I would have picked Carly Smithson over Michael Johns. She obviously had the best voice that season, except that she didn't always make the right song choices.

i know it from House . Nice perform !

We need a medic here!

at 1:10 in, you can tell he's not going to have time to do the whole thing. At 1:15 you realise how much you hate life

Yeah before MJ went home I was actually having a hard time deciding who I wanted to win the show him or DC.

@davidcookcentral is there any studio version available?

he sang like one verse from the song, theres so much more to baba o'riley than this....

He has a nice voice, I like it but this version... it's a who song so... can't expect anyone else to do it half as good

2:12

Hey dude i did not say Pearl Jam was this great band. I am NOT a pearl Jam fan. I am an Eddie Vedder fan. And i will stand by my comment his cover is 100 times better that this version. I guess that is why Eddie is big time and this guy is still looking.

@stephanielostthegame -- he is a very competent singer. But he relies too much on his faux bluesy-vibratto. Like all Idol singers, they all seem to add an extra layer of sauce on everything, they can't just leave a note. I understand, you're trying to stand out, but I can predict how he's going to approach every note. He never suprises me. I did like the octave jump -- that did catch me a bit, and he stopped phrasing everything the same way during that ...

Actually it is fight

Love him on this song, but the arrangement is way too short and horrible, almost ruined his performance.

nice vocals, but did the song injustice. it just deviates too far from the version im accustomed to

Not nearly as much passion as Daltrey sings it with

Wrong Title lmao

hm...i know i will get rated down, but i don't like this version too. i really like his other songs, and other versions of old songs, but this one... no please, fail.

good vocals... crap song version... where's the ultra trippy intro

great voice, great guy, horrible cover

Wow that sucked!

One of my favorite contestants, but that was just average to me. Nothing special.

hate

Didn't liked this at all.

Really? I though it was a poor job, terrible cover. Really song sounds like shit on 33 speed. I guess i am extra critical about this song since it is in my top 3 of all time greatest Classic Rock Songs. Just my opinion. If you want a good cover of this song check out Pearl Jams. They dont make it sound like shit. Hell the Blue Man Group does this 10 times better than this.

cant touch this song. terrible

Well that sucked

He's a great singer -- but he has a huge head lol

Great vocals but not for this song

hate
