I got butterflies in my stomach listening to this. I am seriously in love with this guy. The more I hear his voice the more I love it. I think it's time for us to just go ahead get married. Then I can have him all to myself all of the time. Did I mention that I love him? Wow!!!
omg. ive been listening to this since.. 3 hrs ago!! and im still not sick and tired of it~!this is the BEST version of this song ive ever heard!!! i love DAVID COOK!!
I totally agree, I liked David before this - but this performance was just ..... WOW!!!! It showed him to be a total artist, great vocalist and inspirational lyricist. Too hot for words
His voice is so nice, isn't it? Such an artist--there are only a few in each generation and I think DC is going to be one for this generation, I really do.
He has SO many songs which are extremely memorable and distinctly "trademark" David Cook, which he all did amazingly well, I'll be damned if he doesn't win. Or go to the finale and come second, at least.
I honestly never paid much attention to MC until David did this song. I absolutely love it. The way David sings it has a haunting quality. He is amazing.
This actually makes me cry...i'm pretty much obsessed with this guy! I was obsessed with blake lewis last year but this is wayyyy different i feel happy and in love for the first time this guy has my heart lol
David Cook is fantastic! Congratulations to David Cook for pulling off such a great and fatabulous performance! Looking forward to watch your performance next week!
this guy's cool man. after mj left, i felt bad and i was so pissed coz i originally thought mj should've won. thought idol would suck after mj was booted off. but, david cook... he won me over with this song... love this guy. he should win. he deserves to win.
You can never tell how much of these arrangements are the artist and how much are the guys behind the show making a guy who is getting a lot of votes look good. What makes David more believable is that he can play an instrument and he seems passionate about music. Simon is right again. He prefers Cook's raw rock style because it comes across as genuine and real music fans are starved for that kind of stuff. Even the ones who are duped into watching American Idol.
Man... I´m from Brazil. The shows that we watch are one week delay in relation to the real thing... but many of us watch the latest performs here in youtube... and I must say... THIS GUY CAN SING. NICE VID. I THINK THAT HE DESERVES TO WIN
I can honestly say, that he is by far one of the most amazing vocalists I have ever heard. I can also honestly say that I think he did better with this song that Mariah did. Keep it up David... Keep it up ~
I like the live version better, but I would still buy this (if I had money on iTunes). This version lacked the emotion that was felt through his performance on Tuesday, which brought me to tears. I still love him mucho mucho!!! David, you'll always be my baby!
thanks so much for posting this, girl.. im so emotional right now.. and i'll pray to God that Adam will be in the right track, will be healed in time and God works miracle,DC.. to all DC fans let's pray for him.. God rockz!!
amazing job on this video. i can't stop watching it. david is so talented. can't wait to see the successful career ahead of him & can't wait to see him on the idol tour!!
I was onto David from the beginning. I am so happy that so many are "getting" him now. There will always be negative people who will try to detract from a genuinely brilliant talent like this. He still will have HUGE fan base and already does. He is SO MUCH BIGGER THAN AI. This is just the beginning!!! His original stuff is even stronger than any of the AI tunes, but his "covers" and "covers of covers" are still reeeeeeally STRONG. But, detractors, listen to HIS OWN TUNES.
This version of the song is amazing. After watching and listening to this version, I may have to retrack what I said a couple of weeks ago. I stated that his only performance that was better may have been Billie Jean. I'm not so sure right now. This dude is amazing. His vocals are superb. Move over, Chris Daughtry.
YESSS HE WON!!! so glad he won i watched it lastnite here and OMG his version of this is all over the radio in Singapore right after he sang it live on AI, hw amazing is that???? hes already a winner in advanced!! DC U RAWK! =D
I actually cry while I listen to you sing this song. I love your voice. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!! Please see can you record this song. Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's super talented! His voice is amazing.. and I love how creative he is. I think he's one, if not the most, unique American Idol. It's about time that someone totally different from the rest of the cookie-cutter-type of Idols, won this competition. I really hope he does well.
This hurts to say , but i liked the live version better. i was really bummed at the end when he changed how he sang ' you will linger on '. i loved the way he sang it on the show. still love him and i will continue to watch the live version of this one and many others. LOVE,LOVE, LOVE, the new album!
hehe, my bf looks like him. ALOT lol. ive been a fan of him since day one. threw the whole show..and guess what...i find my own david cook hehe. WE LOVE U DAVID!!!
