Great cover, I rather think they could have used another guitarist to go with david's vocals better. Especially the chorus D,A,G,D D,A,C,G the full chords might have sounded way better :(
@montiac712 better than the original my fucking ass, the original is an entire band coming together harmonizing instruments and melodies...and besides the original gave him a leg to stand on that led to a breakthrough career, he has Collective Soul to thank for creating this song
@r3n3gade420 Hey- chill - yes, Collective Soul created this song. Personally the orginal doesn't do much for me; I'd never heard it until I found out what Cook was going to sing for the finale. I really wondered how he was going to play it, but it turned out he put his own stamp on it. I just liked his version better than I liked the original. Sorry if that bums you.
@montiac712 nah not bummed .. lol just strongly disagree with your opinion, which we are all entitled to, i liked Cooks version too, and yeah he had to put his own stamp on it and implement some originality
There's just something in his voice, the timbre, i think, that just digs into the heart, like a drumbeat you can't forget once you've heard it thumping. It's really that undertone. If i were a guy, i'd really envy that voice.
To Shereeda2202: Amazing, Mesmerising, Magnetic.(If anyone else has a positive descriptive for DC, feel free to add to the list). Did you hear Simon's remarks after David sang this on AI? Just proves that even the arrogant Simon gets it wrong sometimes!
dont know why some people try hate againts him cuz he's winner ?
he's truly talent with amazing voice. everytime i hear his voice, have something deep, warm & so power ! it such a special voice. not like others has sweet voice !
love this song & love this version. he did it so greatest ! feel like he singing from his heart OMG <3
SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL...W THAT SEXY HONEY N GRAVEL VOICE...NOT TO MENTION MAN IS HE BEAUTIFUL!!!!

I never tire of watching/hearing DC sing this. Soooo much better than the original. And that falsetto at the end... his "head voice" is amazing.

He should have a warning label, "Caution, looking at and listening to can be addictive".

He should have a label that reads: "NO WARNINGS AGAINST OBVIOUS DANGERS SHALL BE POSTED. MAYCAN YOU HANDLE THAT?"
