From new, DC's upcoming album had OLP to work with. Here is the question is David Cook able to gain mass-market accpetance with the song like this. I digg down OLP and would like to offer my favorite track.
Full Version: DC & Our Lady Peace
There have been a few OLP discussions on here -- especially with DC's announcement that he and Raine will be able to work together on his new disc.
Here's the deal: Anything he does with Raine . . . it will be a partnership, a little bit of Raine's off-the-charts artistry and a little bit of the hard-rocker artist that David is. JMO. But I honestly can't see David just taking in another artists' song and performing it exactly as presented -- without his own input (lyrics, arrangement, music, something). I really believe that the partnership between Raine and David could produce absolute freakin' magic. I get goosebumps thinkin' about it!
But hey, I'm *way biased.* I'm a HUGE HUGE HUGE OLP fan, going back probably close to a decade. My devotion to OLP was only reinforced when I saw them live at Irving in 2001, I think it was. Love OLP; Gravity was probably my fave of theirs, although I something about Happiness is not . . . totally tickles me (in a good way). And live? Well, you just can't beat them.

Good ideal. I totally agreed with you. I also big fan of OLP but kinda worried for David. Really hope his upcoming album is working well either business term or artistic term. I believe David is great enough to preduce the music that really suits his style!.
I think it's freeking amazing that he's going to get to work with Raine -- I like OLP myself and whatever DC and Raine do together is going to be hair on the back of your neck raising I'm sure! 
I am in my 40's, So I would like to take the older prespective, I was not really aware of OLP, I have a friend who kept talking about them but I never got around to seriously listening, Since I have been watching David, I looked up "Innocent" and was impressed and thanks to you guys now I know Gravity, I liked it! I could totally see David
singing in that way, I think he will need to have alot of styles on the first CD. Everything should be considered, But I would be interested in hearing what David and Raine would come up with.

OLP is teh win =)
I LOVE Our Lady Peace sooooo much!!!! I was so glad when David sang Innocent! He did it soo well. 
I LOVEEEEE OLP, just for the record, Raine is awesome
Heck yes!
I've seen Our Lady Peace in concert and they rock! Their songs are so meaningful and David would bring sometihng fresh to the table when working with Raine. I'm so excited to hear the final product!
EEEEEE!
