Dare You To Move - David Cook [HQ]

[gceanne0216]

love it :)

[rayenantheny]

Dare you to move rocker version.. Nice.. Except the ending.

[Aksehsnarf]

I dare you to moo.... I swear that's what I heard the first time =P

[diebythedrop1567]

0:05 Ryan, you and the chair = match made in heaven. o.o

[ShirleyVB]

The BEST American Idol winner ever.

[EyesTelescope07]

Jon Foreman has more soul

[1010Midori]

david cook daniel cook lol!!

[Glam1877]

i love this song <3

[RandomThoughtGuy]

The beginning sounded off but I think he put a good spin on the chorus

[MartialArtzz]

this was only off u expected a replica of switchfoots one. Honestly i enjoyed this more than the actual one.

[Sweetmuffins0018]

I absolutely love him and I think every single performance he did on Idol was amazing, except this one. I remember when he sang this song live, right away I felt it was off. I don't know what happened, but this just wasn't meant for him.

[PokeTradersComm]

Great song, but he was really off on this song. He sounds horrible, sorry, but its true =/

[hawknelsonlover12]

Simon it IS the best melodic song in the world! SHUT UP!

[belladonna1999]

Love him terribly but he was off with this song.

[texasflood902]

did i just see steve jordan????

[Alltimelow8161]

Funny thing is he isn't even playing the guitar. I'm a big David Cook fan, so don't think I'm trolling. I just thought it was funny. Those aren't the correct notes for that song and he's just standing up there playing random notes.

[NoobGuitarPlayer]

@Alltimelow8161 He doesn't play with disortion. He is playing the guitar !

[Alltimelow8161]

@NoobGuitarPlayer So though he is playing incorrect notes and power chords that aren't in the song, you still think he is playing? lol

[legacygal4eva]

Simon, how dare you diss Switchfoot! It is an AMAZING melodic song!!

[Shinntypennty]

Jon Fields, Randy?!

*it's Jon Foreman!!!!*

[mvalliere5]

@Shinntypennty jon fields produced it

[alexrocksyo3]

@Shinntypennty Jon Fields is the producer who produced im assuming the song and the album. Jon Foreman as we know is the band's frontman, there's a difference :)

[rich1051414]

everytime you watch this, coke-a-cola makes ryan seacrest a little richer :)

[n0directi0nh0me]

What's the big deal about this guy

[LeadingScarlett]

he gave switchfoot a bad name

[21krizchristensen]

Why does singing a song in your own style equal to ruining a song? Duh. Guys don't be ignorant.

[zainabzubairi]

simon emphasizes too much on melody...there's more to a song than melody..and as far as i am concerned, david cook made it melodious enough!

[Skatergrl223]

I love how everyone is like "Wow. He ruined the song." No, David Cook has not ruined any song. He sings them differently, he makes each and every cover his own, even if it means taking certain parts out, slowing them down, speeding them up. It doesn't matter. American Idol is based off of really taking the song and making it your own, that is truly what it is about and that is what makes a good American Idol

[newsboysfan77]

@Skatergrl223 That's what also makes a good musical artist as well, I totally agree with you!

[FatMucnher]

Shame. Good voice, just not the right song. Dare You To Move needs a very rasp, coarseness about the voice. Nickelback would do a good cover of it.

[jambam0007]

why does simon part his hair??

[ika31]

no offense to the original singer...but i love david's voice on switchfoot's dare you to move...though i still love switchfoot, dont get me wrong. i jus hope david cook will also do the complete version.

[ika31]

no offense to the original singer...but i love david's voice on switchfoot's dare you to move...though i still love switchfoot, dont get me wrong.

[skilletfreak1988]

all in all...its a great cover done by David Cook...granted its not the whole song...but he still did a great job

[shrek7188]

Cook you screwed the pooch so to speak on this song you sound like a guy recovering from a kick in the balls your raspy voice not really a good thing for this song.

[PrettyTiaF]

"OH, so you've heard of it". Yes, David-__- everyone loves SWITCHFOOT!! yeah, baby! THats my band. DC did well, but Jon's voice is just sexier so nobody can top him lol

[308AlYsSa0034]

Love the song,and love David <3

=)

[Innuendo9546]

@omnikid64 he said it was PRODUCED by John Fields... but yes sung by Jon Foreman :)

[Artardism]

Paula wanted maor!!!

[francescaarchie0226]

I love DC! but this ..not nearly as good as orginal.

[raputi23]

@francescaarchie0226 sorry to disappoint you but i think this is way better than the original, david's voice have more power just amazing...love it, NO OFFENSE!!

[13pinkstars]

David Cook is one of the few American Idol contestants that has become an artist during the show. Look at him up there with his famous guitar and rocker hair. =D

[11suppakit]

ok ~

[NyCArole426]

David rocked this!!!!

[mainedcfan1]

So he had a couple of "off" notes...doesn't matter; he's amazing! And he killed it from 1:52 on! It's too bad they're not allowed a little more time for each song. Like she said, they only get 1:30 per song, and songs are 3:00-4:00 mins. so it can certainly seem too short sometimes. Love him!

[JeffreyMiddelveld]

that's wasn't to well.. my opinion..

[jrocker324]

i wish he sang the chorus one more time... i liked it a lot.

[angusmartin93]

yeah not good, my friend tried this song and found it extremely hard to sing the same way switchfoot do...sounded just like Dave's off pitchness

[asakura810]

off pitch...ooops

[Tatwai5]

wow he cant sing this song

[theamericankids]

butchered to say the least

[pupupuy22]

Ryan said say hi. not scream. LOL.

[costamesaskater3]

randy said jon fields? he is a retard. ITS JON FOREMAN

[DemetriDilMont]

@costamesaskater3 John Fields was the producer of the song

[patz668]

wow! same voice as the vocal lead of switchfoot! amazing...voice!!

[WhiteRaven856]

@patz668 dude you FAIL

[patz668]

@WhiteRaven856 haha..in ur dreams!

[rasaecnai]

@patz668 no its not! i've listen to original tens of time and this is so far below the original

[patz668]

@rasaecnai lol..i've already listened this song more than times.cuz i have that song on my ipod.and i proved that there is a similarity to the voice of the lead vocal of switchfoot and david cook..so u should try to listen it again.haha.jk

[blazepearl18]

no matter what, i still love david cook. only he can give me goosebumps to what others may refer to as a "ruined" song. way to go david!

[ackmarzmenn]

is he related for dane cook? he looks sorta like him

[DitzyStephanie]

Just started getting into David Cook, after being tipped off by someone else recently... LOVE Permanent, Life on the Moon and Bar-ba-sol.

But I have to ask... why are the performances on American Idol so short?

[AllGoodNamesTaken24]

@DitzyStephanie They are so short because they need to fit all the performances into the time slot :D

[SofiaWINS]

oh my god, ryan seacrest is so terribly awkward. and randy should never call other guys, especially other BEARDED guys, 'baby'.

[Skillet4lifeSherlock]

10 people are dumb as grass

[zippy426]

I love this song - only David Cook's singing...I wish it was the whole song!

[joehrke]

10 people completely missed the like button

[twoedytwoedy]

Man I miss Paula

[iloveGerardWay1424]

i think he did a fabulous job on this song :)

[maggiegirls100]

Love his voice, love this man, and he made me love this song.

[rheylorbeth]

he ruined the song....honestly....

he's just like screaming....

[Skillet4lifeSherlock]

@rheylorbeth are you def? Like, seriously dude.

[rheylorbeth]

@Skillet4lifeSherlock

im not deaf because if i am, i cannot say that he ruined this song..

compared to the original song this performance lacks resonance...it's not just for screaming...i love david cook actually he's my idol..

but im just commenting that he's just screaming...

[27kdon]

@rheylorbeth agree, off pitch at many places

[cozmikhero]

this is awful...wow... he's way flat in the chrs.

the band should listen to how sf plays it live

[cellomaniac14]

He didn't sing the whole song :(

[blahdyblahable]

I've seen Switchfoot play this song three times live, and they make it EPIC. No one plays it like Switchfoot.

[Tyscotty1]

Simon "I don't think its the most melodic song in the world..." Me Screaming at the Tv. "SCREW YOU SIMON!!!!!!!"

[McBane10]

@Tyscotty1 you think it is the best melodic song in the world?

[ashieboy1995]

@Tyscotty1 Simon's just a fag really. Like he will always just go against everything except for ballads. I seriously hate the guy

[900198619]

@Tyscotty1 Yeah Simon is a arrogant tird!

[thecomfortisnow]

@Tyscotty1 Simon is dumb anyways and has bad music taste.

[TheNatedog24]

well good try but he doesn't sound like a switchfoot song. he sounds like idk what. lol but it's an amazing song when switchfoot plays it.

[aadilfahim2006]

Hey "David Cook"

I really don't know you, but you ruined a very decent song! SHAME ON YOU ! YOU SHOULDNT' BE A SINGER OR A GUITARIST!

[spanishbbq]

i love that he did this song

[mermcc]

love david for doing this song and introducing me to Switchfoot....it's a song that needs to be played completely, so the idol format did not serve....but i'd love to hear dave cover the complete song in concert some day!

[diadroop]

way to ruin a great song...

[paparoparo]

He ruined the song.. I honestly say.

[blueguitar77]

what a shame , i love switchfoot and i was expecting a lot more from david but actually he ruined the song. sorry but i had to say it

[TheSpacechic1]

I love this song, and I think he did a great job of it!

[pulphaven0920]

taas ng boses nya d2

[tsaoer]

switchfoot must be proud

[mahiligtotoy2]

..ah idol gling m tlg...i luv u.....sna mgkron k ulet ng concert d2...

[jessiefurnish1]

i love that song

[WHEREtheFUNK]

very cool he picked this song

[sweetchfoot]

"You've heard of it. Alright!" Hahaha great cover. =D

[LadyDestruction333]

I absolutely love him! He's amazing! I've liked him from his audition! :D

[simplybaby2752]

david cook raelly a winner,,far from david A,,i love the man lol

[staten0267]

he reminds me of dane cook so much, in looks and a little in voice. but dane cant sing

[livinlifetoplz101]

an amazing performance

[0unravelmystery0]

Does anyone have the studio version of this song? Where can I can get?

[lovecook17]

I GOT THE WHOLE SONG!!!!AMAZING

[NyCArole426]

THE DAREMAN ROCKS IT AGAIN

[triplemt89]

I LOVE SWITCHFOOOOOOTTTTTT :))))))))) i love how he did this song

[kutobuki00]

cool leftie :D

[TheTigersWingsFan]

better then the actual song

[babyweyll]

lovee this song!!David my favorite idol of all times..

[iyotbaba]

fuck you judgess...suck your comment...

fuck that was soo good...i like his voice and he did very great

[wwdONELOVEallday2]

idk about the rose on the machine head man.

[mermcc]

@wwdONELOVEallday2 he did that because some fans sent him a huge arrangement of flowers that day...it was his way of letting them know he got them and "thank you." 

[Guitarnoob66]

main reason most people don't like it is because he hits a few notes off key, but other than that he did great

[mikelavelle1]

this song inspired me to sing

[xxxbrattxxx]

i love david cook..esp his eyes when he performs..sooo hooot!

[lizzirez]

wtf/i thought it was good!

[cookie9470]

yeah, not his best performance, his last visit, he told me he was trying to make a statement that he isn't afraid of the media frowning on him for being a Godly man. He wanted people to look up Switchfoot and see for themselves what they're about...

[djnormal]

Wow. Way to butcher a great song.

[cookie9470]

im not sure if "butchered" is being used as an insult or a compliment, but don't blame me for stickn' my neck out for my cousin...XP

[dctrishy]

I love this song and I loved the fact that he performed this song on the Finals and when he said that"LYRICALLY UT JUST WRAPS UP THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE,WELCOME TO THE PLANET,WELCOME TO EXISTENCE","IT SEEMS LIKE A PERFECT SONG AT THE PERFECT MOMENT".Amazing performance!I loved it!

[miss07lwaa]

David i love <333 u

[Nirvana1502004]

Yeah, and Randy is right. Jon fields produced the records for Switchfoot. Jon Foreman is the band's front man.

[zekans337]

Sounds like he has flem

[BeatmixerTV]

Switchfoot are way better! its ashame he didn't mention how switchfoot are christians at the start(n):)

[MrsYamin44]

haha i loovee him "being a BARRRRtender" lol that was pretty good

[choii25]

wow.. this is my fave from switchfoot though theyre not my fave band but this is the best from them and i really love david plus this song,,

[ello123445]

So weird thing. Switchfoot is my favorite band, and David Cook was my favorite Idol, so...AWSOME!

Also, it was okay for him. Switchfoot is an awsome band and for him to one of their songs is gonna be hard because the original was just so great. But all in all, it was good.

[phantomendoza]

he's really awesome an outstanding performance

[nikiloves2sing]

his amazing,

[cookhasmyheart]

this is a hot performance and when he unplugs his guitar he looks so cute!

[DWood429]

I have to agree with Randy. It was definitely not his best performance but it was good none the less. I wonder how the baby faced David would have done it. Anyhow, that was a very tight vote. I voted for both of them because it was too close even me to decide.

[IzzyL123]

BARRtender. LOL. <3

LOVED THIS!

[imawinner29]

I don't know why so many posters here do not like this performance of David's, I thought it was EXCELLENT! He did Switchfoot proud! I actually love all three of his performances, and I am glad that he won season 7 of course.

[DRCookcrazy]

Randy was right,this wasn't David's best.I LOVE David and his voice, but I was not impressed with this.Sorry,Baby.

[clemsongiirl94]

hey now. i never said he didnt deserve to win, YOU DID. kay? thnx.

david a. probably shouldnt have won becuz hes not as "current" but he still has the better voice by a LANDSLIDE. and if he would have sang dare you to move i would have said the same thing, becuz there are some songs you just dont touch, this being one of them.

[clemsongiirl94]

:/ i hate when people on american idol ruin good songs. :(

[katypucp]

clemsongiirl94: u just have to say: I hate cook because he won, and not the boring david, btw, AI7 it's over more than a year ago, and the guy who deserved won, get over it!

[katypucp]

u should post this in YOU ARE THE VOICE, WE CAN WORK IT OUT, AMERICA AND WITH YOU lol!!!

[deorantime]

I don't watch this show. When i first heard Adam Lambert, i was like, no way this guy should have won. Now i understand why David Cook won. But all three of them were amazing and i would not mind listening to any of them anyday.

[minzc09]

wait your talking about 2 different seasons

[LightOnForCookie]

Oh David! is there any song that you can't sing? wow, you blew me away again! you just never cease to amaze me!

Love you!

[snowboard195]

oh dear,

[biancacookhook]

I love the song especially the chorus part....So amazing...He made this song recognizable,at first I didn't know this song even the Switchfoot, until DC had a version of this....DC rocks..

[MusicalMistriss]

i like the chorus when he sings it, but the beginning was terrible.

[siobhanmeacher]

oh my god, switchfoot is an amazing band and this is an amazing song and i am pissed that he disrespected it by singing it on TV, my ears are sore.. ew

[pistontube]

This is david cooks only performance where I wasn't blown away. Not his fault, time slot was too short for the song.

[biancacookhook]

If you have nothing to say which has respect,then stop finding for this video...Stop being rude to him...Well,enviousness can kill somebody...He is the American Idol,people...

[capitanbm15]

this sucks lol

[clemsongiirl94]

AMEN!

[product0454]

he sucks

[YellowButton87]

this is bad...

watch britain's x factor! its better than american idol :)

[tuftthewhale]

this is quite bad

[biancacookhook]

I can't stop listening to this version,I love it so much...David Cook is so talented.....I swear.....

[biancacookhook]

I love this version done by David Cook,he is so amazing.Excellent job by DC as always..Not that surprised..DC rocks....

[fruitx4yay]

Amazing song, and yet another amazing performance by Mr. Cook!

[blueguitar77]

i agree

obviously jonn foreman is way better than david cook, ...im not saying that david sucks, im just saying that this song fits more with jon's voice

[haleyxbug92]

OMMGGGGG i love this song, and I love him!

[Foible237]

I agree, Jon Foreman is a great song writer and a singer.

[fruitx4yay]

obviously people are not going to agree with you; this is david cook's video, not Jon Foreman's. ;-)

[psych0304]

agree!!!  :D

[qcsr10]

wow this song was amazing!!! dang he could make this into his own song!!!!!!

[krisp1294]

i love david cook, but i gotta admit, th is wasnt great, and i LOVE this song!

[Jayco119]

Same here, at times, especially the beginning, he sounded like a shakey old man... Well~come to the plan~et....

[Stickerfied]

Foreman can do this song better, but David is well-rounded and I like almost all of his songs. Something foreman lacks.

[Jt166]

i hope this song a studio version.........

[abpfing04]

he looks alot hotter there and on american idol than he does now.

[ChickenBooties]

definitely not as the good as the original!!!

[mma4christ1]

jon foreman is definatley a better singer but this guy definatley did justice

[WeEatBrainz]

ugg dissapointed his cd sucked

he is a great singer

[zero82591]

yeah, I was so disappointed with his album :( makes me wonder if it would've been better if he'd come in 2nd and gone under a different label
