Scott:
Can always count on EW's Michael Slezak to acknowledge David Cook changed Idol forever (and for the better)! Here's his ranking of the 15 best Idol auditions. #15 is next to David but he comes up first on the gallery. I think we all can spin that any way we like lol! And remember, having the best audition isn't what it's all about. David is known for his "transformation" and the brilliant way he played the game throughout the entire season. Yet that audition gave us plenty of hints of what was to come.

We count down the best and brightest tryouts in eight seasons of ''American Idol'' -- from Carrie Underwood to Taylor Hicks to that kid who lived in his car (remember him?). So good, even Simon couldn't dismiss 'em

15. David Cook, ''Livin' on a Prayer'' (Season 7)
Okay, so the season 7 champ was sporting a goofy fauxhawk and unfortunate red highlights when he busted out some Bon Jovi in a nondescript conference room in Omaha, NE. But close your eyes and listen to the unexpected choices Cookie makes with the song's tempo and melody, and you'll get a glimpse of the distinctive, daring re-arranger who inspired a nation of speed-dialers and changed the Idol game forever, and for the better.
