THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAYING THAT- I LOVED IT TOO- WHAT IS HECK WAS WRONG WITH THE JUDGES TONIGHT?

DAVID DID GREAT AND I LOVED IT -

I agree 100%. David is connected to the show and the people in a more personal way than anyone else is. I hope that pulls him through. He's a wonderful person.




Those where the days

He'll get his spark back, the problem is he can't afford to let down his guard this late in the game.

Pick a song we ALL love David and you'll be fine.

(case in point: Billie Jean)

I'm agree I almost cry when looked him like that! poor David

I really don't think it was his best performance... but, I still loved what he did. The beginning was a little rough for me but it got better after. I thought he sang great, even though he looked like something was wrong. But it's inspirational week, and he's singing a song from his favorite band, and he was probably thinking about his brother, and after the recording of IGB he must have been tired last night so it can explain his condition. Maybe he just got too deep in his emotions... I don't know...

Overall, I still love him and I really hope he's gonna stay cuz he deserves it! Love you David!!!

i said everything i wanted to say in the "pompous" thread....but i wanted to say.....even though this wasnt his best performance, he still put a lot of his heart into it, and if he goes this week it would be a complete travesty....no one, except his buddy mike, matches even close to his talent.

i dont think he would go...........i hope not......*worried now*

vote vote vote!!! if only i could!!!!

i think his studio performance will be better.....the minute and a half they have on stage just isnt enough!!

just managed to see the clip. aww he's so sweet, he looked so humbled at the end. I hope he stays in, please people vote on my behalf im in uk!

David's performance was so emotional last night it just broke my heart. He wears his heart on his sleeve, and after all he felt about it and put into it, it was hard to watch him get crushed by Randy and Simon. But he will not go home.

And THANKS for the download!

same here i was like cryinggg and i dont wat was wrong with simon and randy he was amazing !!

i know what you mean, it pains me to see him like that but i can't help but to watch his performance over and over because i felt that emotional connection between him and the song

also, at the end of the show where the camera pans out to a wide shot of the whole auditorium, i could see that DC was distracted and he was kinda looking at the ground with thoughts racing

i hope he'll be fine *sighs*

He is tired people....they are all tired. They have been working straight since last Thursday through Sunday, then having to perform three songs on Idol Gives Back and then walk around and learn a new song on their ipods. That is a lot of pressure, a lot. They are simply exhausted. You can't throw away 7 solid performances for one bad song....come on really. Fans can be so fickle sometimes. Davic Cook looked like a star up there on Idol Gives Back. He was totally being show cased.

It hurt my heart to see him at the end of the performance while the judges were criticizing him. He looked very tired, vulnerable and sad. I felt really bad for him. I can't imagine giving my best shot after working like a fiend then have the judges tell me it was pompous. If anyone is pompous, it's SIMON. HELLO.

I have a gutsy feeling that he might be in the bottom 3 tomorrow and I hate b/c I won't be able to see it at all. Stupid work...maybe I'll call in sick, haha. they'll know b/c i've been talking about david cook every single day when i work. i'll be the one asking did you watch last night, did you vote for david cook?

The more I watch this performance, the more I can't help but sing along. I think it was awesome.

I had the song stuck in my head right after his performance! I don't even think I've heard it before either... and then I got it stuck in my friend's head the next day! lol. It was great. I think he did a pretty good job with it. Thanks for the audio Travis!

poor david cook. dont worry darling, i'll comfort you . something was definately on his mind the other night, and i'm worried!!!! when the judges were talkign to him, he had that faraway look in his eyes, and it seemed like he was really a million miles away. and he looked so sad! i wanted to cry
but anyways, i love david! and i think he is a SEXY BEAST! and i still think that even though his performance wasnt as good as it usually was, you could tell he had a deep emotional connection to it.

david, to cheer you up, this is my song for you!
and if you are reading this(and i pray to god you're not) i hope you feel better and quit being sad! we all love you hun.

im a bit hyper at the moment
but i think i am a rather brilliant song writer
haha jk but i wish you the best of luck david! never leave us!

Just bought the studio version of Innocent... the background vocals are MUCH softer and the song sounds sooo much better. The only better studio version is Billy Jean.

the studio version is amazing!! im listening to it all the time

arrogant = smug = pompous

I wonder what's the next word Simon is going to use to describe David...they all mean the same.

Hmph Simon! I used to love you. But now... I'm starting to really hate you for giving ideas to people that David is an arrogant person.

By the way, I took David's challenge last night, just for fun. None of the synonyms describe David...some describe Simon


...where do I get my Word Nerd #?

Why were you worried? Not only did he choose the song, he also chose to do that particular verse.

i didnt think his performance was that good but i like the song that he picked and the studio version sounds amazing. he is the best one on this show and i really hope he wins:)

I really don't get the judges, he was amazing and you could really tell how much that song meant to him too.

Then again,
...he could come out on stage and smile for a minute and 20 seconds and I'd still faint at the sight of him.

I couldn't understand what the judges didn't see in his performance. Innocent was one of the most heartfelt performances by DC, especially lyrically. The studio version is so much better though. I love it when he'd do the falsetto in "I". Nevertheless, DC's performance didn't deserve the negatives from the judges.

I'm loving the studio version of this...and just about every other studio version that he did...OT: the studio version of Billie Jean is just jawdropping!! Chris Cornell, sorry, it was your idea but DC did it so much better

I'm glad to have seen a new comment on this particular song - - the studio version is infectious and I love it. But even the live version . . . it's raw and emotional and I think very powerful. I wasn't familiar with the song before and it's really gotten in to my physche. On top of everything else he's done, he's exposed some new music to a lot of folks.

We are all innocent . . . David's the guilty one for making us feel this way!! And really, no complaints.

thx a lot^^
