Holy f*cking shit that was f*cking amazing! I have chills just like Paula I am blown away! He even made Simon Cowell stutter and I have never seen that before in the 7 season have you?
Whether he wins the American 7 or not he will be the biggest seller of American Idol’s history and then some. I want David Cook’s album now. He is what American Idol is all about. Wow, f*cking wow!!!
I am such a purist with music and I hate when they destroy songs on Idol, but I am just in awe what David Cook has done to ’80s song Lionel Richie’s Hello and Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean and brought them into the new millennium and will introduce a new generation to songs of yesteryear. I mean he still keeps the flavor, but modernizes the heck out of them!
You go boy!!!
Can you believe this is the same song? Not that I am complaining, but just thought it would be fun for y’all to compare. Wow!
UPDATE: I just listened to Ryan’s intro and heard that David Cook did Chris Cornell’s version of the song, but I think David Cook added even more to the song and made it more haunting and worked it out so much better…sorry Chris.
