oh man oh man oh man.

I have this thing where on wednesdays I can only watch the youtube videos of people I don't like so as to build up a sense of anticipation for thursday when it airs in england.
srsly. you guys are going to have stop saying it was so awesome- the urge to go and press play on that video is painful!

Katy - you're very restrained! But do tell who was bad!!!! I only watch DC - to help your willpower I would like to say it was rubbish this week, but sadly..........it was fantastic, he gets better each week

I would normally restrain myself and wait till thurs but
when I saw the You tube thing I just had to have a peek
I am so glad as I think he Is fast becoming more than just a
datk horse.. I have only seen Dc and Randy lullaby(is that how you spell it)
murdering Hearts alone so not surebut Iknow one thing come next week DC will be there.

cheers

I couldn't wait until Thursday. I'm just too impatient and had to see what everyone was raving about. I now know!! What a great job David did with this song. I've never heard BJ sung this way before but I loved it!!

Thanks very much for the download link and looking forward to the studio version

Just when I think he can't get any better....AH!

Thanks for posting the song!

hey i just wanted to say amazing. i was shocked. he is diffently amazing. i loved it and i won't miss tonight for the world. i know he's going to be on next week. he just pulled it off and rocked it. loved every minute of it. david is diffently amazing. he is the next american idol. i don't care what the say he is the one. i loved it and i can't wait to see what he does next week. keep rockin david. love you

I have to say that I was just blown away by this performace. He is so amazing! I think if he doesn't win this he'll have a great career just like Chris Daughtry has had.

Whoever said the performance gave them chills-- same here. :]
Seriously, this guy is crazy talented.

I voted 81 times.

WRONG...


....he'll have an AWESOME career that's even BETTER than what Chris Daughtry has had....

Good Lord, David...you keep getting better and better. I have never been as excited to watch someone in ANY Idol Season as I am you. Who's Chris Daughtry? LOL

My career is in marketing and I can tell you that no one makes a better idol than one who is marketable. The other David, though with a very distinct and beautiful tone, is not marketable. What will his album be..."Beautiful Ballads of Boredom?" I'm not trying to be mean, just honest. Once he matures a bit, that may be a completely different story. But this is TODAY.

For America to chose anyone BUT you would be egregious! (Can you guess, I am a word nerd as well?)

Seriously, if for some idiotic and unfathomable reason you are not crowned the new Idol, I'm sure you have no longer have questions about it---that this will be your career--and a successful one at that. I will see you at your sold out concerts and certainly will buy all of your albums. Keep going, you plethera of talent!!

Ps. hello, is it me you're looking for? Doh! Nah, doubt it, I'm in my thirties. Seriously, though, keep it comin'!!!
TONS are routing you on!!!!!!!!

He truly is amazing and it is about time American Idol had someone on that truly could rock the house!!

I will be very surprised if he doesn't win, but if for some stupid reason he doesn't you KNOW he will make it and be out there seeling out shows in no time.

David Cook is truly gifted and I for one can not wait to hear what he has in line for us next!!

Back atch!

My sister and I were talking about AI earlier today and she says that the show was rigged since the top 24 and they got rid of everybody who had options of signing to labels to go into the top 12 rather than people who just have talent. she believes that the ravings of david cook is just going to be as the same as daughtry and we'll see him go, but i don't believe that because i believe that AI might want a rocker this year then some 17 year old kid who will ruin his options because AI likes to have their genres be kept "pop". AI already has the youngest AI winner, Jordin Sparks. Why have another back to back? It doesn't make sense to me, but I believe it's David Cook's turn to win.

I loved this performance. He showed great vocal range and once again it was amazing. Rock on David.

He's SAAAFFFEEEE!!!!

I won't be home for another 2 hours so thank you but..was there any doubt?

It's still nice to have confirmation....you know how UNPREDICTABLE AI can be...

WHEW!!! Okay I can go out and have my breakfast now in peace (seeing that I'll only watch the results in another 8 hrs zzzzz). OMG happy

thanks! i loved his performance yesterday!
awesome song!

Yep that was a fantastic performance! After I watched it I actually searched up the original version and I was thinking, "wow...he turned this into THAT?" It's like magic!

Thank you so much!

I wasn't really sure about how will the whole performance turn out, but yeah no need to worry coz it was the bomb, just amazing!

wau! amazing! his so cute and he got amazing voice!

who would have thought "Billie Jean" could sound that sexy????!!?? only our cookie can pull that off.

That's interesting...but if that was true, we would have all the crappy people left and Simon would be pulling his hair out.

Your sister must have been a fan of Amanda and David H.

The people who are really good will probably be signed right after Idol because they'll still be well known.

thanks for the video.

Actually, my sister doesn't like any of the contestants this year. Her favorite season was season 4 - Carrie Underwood.

And we still have on crappy person left who should've left a long time ago - KLC.

Amen to that....I'm sorry the girl just seriously bugs me. BAH

I've been looking everywhere for this

thx a lot mate.

I love him...I hope he'll win AI




so agree.... I hate the fact that she kicked Amanda out of the competition where as she is far better than kristy

Thanks for the download.

hehe....I love it when he's trying to explain that his parents were picture-taking people........
Maybe its just me, he sounds so adorable when he talks like that?

If y'all miss any screencaps, I try and make some every night from my TV.
I missed a couple of audition cities and the top 8 guys, but the rest I have.

Thanks again for the downloads.

Do you have any idea where I can get the performance videos besides here? They work fine when I download them, but for some reason, once I convert them to put them on my iPod, they don't work anymore. I will use YouTube if I have to, even though they're RIDICULOUSLY hard to find now, but the quality is terribly. Anyone?

You're amazing Travis, seriously. =]
Thank you for all you do.

David, that version of Billie Jean was wow wow wow wow fanbloodytastic record that one fantaboulous, again a big WOW from Ireland, VSK

performance of the season so far - want to see more n more of these -



GO COOKIE GO !!!!!=>

WHOA! honestly, when Michael Jackson sang this way back, I've never paid much attention to the lyrics, because we kids were into the dance choreography then. But when I heard David Cook sang Billie Jean, it just blew my mind. That here was so drama and story in the song, that I realized "How could this be a dance song, when this song is telling a very dramatic and emotional story?" Chris Cornell may have done this arrangement which David Cook stumbled upon (and he gave credit to Cornell), but David Cook made this song more popular with his own style for the now generation. Another stellar performance from DC, one that would go down in history as one of the greatest.

This song is great, I really loved his performance!

I've heard how Chris Cornell fans got mad when David Cook, did the Chris Cornell arrangement of Michael Jackson' Billie Jean. I know DC mentioned Chris Cornell, and Chris was very appreciative.

I've listened to Chris' version several times. DC's rendition may have been his arrangement, but as a listener, I found the two CC and DC's version not exactly the same. DC's was much better. If I heard Cornell's version before AI7, it wouldn't make such an impact to me as much as David Cook's version.
