  • How could this fucker take such a great rock song and turn it into this piece of crap?

  • You ROCK my HEART and SOUL DAVID COOK

  • Watching this video today - years after the performance - Dang! That last high note! About five minutes later I was voting on four phones for four hours - positive Cowel's negative feed back was going to convince voters to vote for the other guy! Glad I was wrong by 6 million votes! David Cook is a true artist in every sense of the word. Go YouTube "Fade into Me" at Irving Plaza - he wrote it with Kevin Griffin of Better than Ezra. He sings it with his heart.

  • I like Archuleta, too.  He's a sweet boy with a beautiful voice. Cook is a sexy,irrestible, delicious MAN. His voice has everything to do with his sexiness.

  • @allstars617 you spelled non-existent wrong. David Cook does covers of songs that I paid no attention to and didn't really even like until he sang them. I love him. I wish there was a David Cook Show on tv.

  • i like the david archuleta better and icarly will agree with me.

  • @allstars617, are you seriously asking? Because I can see you are clueless. Friday night,12/09/11, David was rocking out for a packed house in NYC at Irving Plaza. Stevie Van Zandt of the E Street Band guested on two songs of the encore, the drummer for Kings X, Jerry Gaskill, sat in for the band's cover of "Dogman". The videos are all here on youtube.

    That's 'now', and the crowd reaction can still get David a little choked up; find a vid of the new single, "Fade into Me" from that night.

  • where is david cook now? non-existant.

  • cookie got cocky at the end

  • He's difinitely a great singer with voice to attract other's attention & touching people's heart. This is call real music.

  • What in the world would bring someone who "knows" Archuleta to this video? I don't get the connection. Why is that funny and who is Archuleta?

    Anyway, David Cook has a top-notch voice and sounds good singing anything.

  • He need a change The world i know 2.

  • funny thing is I had no idea who David Cook is but I do know Archuleta haha

  • Love the way he does this song, but as usual, he is even better doing it live. So helps us see/feel the meaning behind each phrase. Love Paula's comment too.

  • He has a great voice...but he really douched this song up.

  • I feel like if I give David a cookie he'd start crying.

  • i like David Archuleta than David Cook :(

  • TAKE THAT SIMON!!!

  • I'm a huge Collective Soul fan and have been since 1999. Not a huge David Cook fan but he did the song justice when covering it. Nice to see an underrated band get some national attention.

  • David freakin tore this song up! He OWNED it!!!! I wish there was a much longer version of this cover. Even after all this time, the way he sings this song STILL gives me chills. Fantastic, fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! I bought his CD mainly because of how he performed this tune.

  • I LOVE YOU DAVID COOK!

  • He put too much embellishment into it. The original is so much better.

  • Just reminds me how bad of a judge Simon was. I don't miss him at all. This performance was so amazing and heart wrenching, how someone doesn't see that is beyond me.

  • So smug. LOL

  • -.-

  • amazingly gorgeous guy!

  • cant beleive its been almost 3 years since this epic show wow time flys!!

  • @progamerxt I KNOW!! its crazy!!!

  • who david cook :) i dont think he should have won im sorry david archuleta was much much better and hes way popular now anyway

  • @umzgirl that's not true.. just sayin.

  • RIGHT ON PAULA,WRONG SIMON!!

  • omg david this sounds sooo sweet you did rock the world  ,,,you know maybe next time rocks my world too..heheh

  • Hold on a second. Usually I don't criticize Simon, I guess maybe because I agree with him often, but he was completely, completely wrong. David Cook KILLED this song. I'm gonna listen to it again because it was so pretty. Simon Cowell, I love you, I want to marry you and have your babies, but you were dead wrong on this one.

  • This is really, really beautiful

  • He's the only 1 who stood up and answered Simon's every backlash and his answers made Sense...:-)

  • the greatest idol contestent ever! savori it people!

  • hes not even playing the guitar part close to right

  • this song is for his brother adam cook

  • it makes me cry!

  • simon was completely wrong on this one. this was one of david's most sincere performances.

  • he seems a little arrogant if you ask me... not humble he was just like yes yes i know im good! blah blah blah...and when he got bad criticism his glare changed and was like whatever bitch you. then he was like i don't car what you say. thats what his face projected to me.

    don't get me wrong D.C. fans, he has an incredible talent i was moved by his performance but when it was over he burst my bubble by being like that. He won because of his talent, too bad they don't count attitude.

  • @izzybear107 you just reminded me of john mayer hahaha! very skilled guitarist and singer but BAD attittude haha

  • @izzybear107he knows hes got a good voice,but that doesnt make him arrogant. ppl are not always gonna agree with wut others say,so i think he had every right to stand up for himself. simon made a comment and asked him if he understood wut he was saying and he said yes and no. and then he just said his opinion,nothing wrong with that.he won cuz of his talent,but he doesnt have an attitude! hes just a down to earth guy that loves making music! ive heard alot of good things bout fans meeting him.

  • This song still gives me chills 2 years later...LOVE IT!

  • okay version, but the emotions are a little off on some parts.

  • It's sad that i still listen to this song all the time on my iPod. That's the measure of a true artist when they can make people listen to some random song they sang, for years on end. American Idol just hasnt been the same since hes been gone, the bar was set way too high for anyone else to measure up. Also, he is still just as incredible live; saw him back in August of '09, amazing.

  • hmm hes a lefty

  • such a sensitive person.. ;)) we luv him~!

  • i just love him!!!1 he cant stop beeing such a good singer!! ahhaha! i love this performance!! but i love hello 2 ahahaha !! love u david!!!!!!

  • favorite collective soul song ever!

    <3

  • he;s the sexiest idol ever ! kris comes a close 2nd and adam a 3rd :)

  • David Cook. Best. Idol. EVER. period.

  • @sweetmama231 Agreed! Hes is amazing<3

  • this was the best season of american idol i saw i would of voted for david cook if  i could of but i live in england i was so glad when he won and i brought his albem over the internet and now i can listen to his songs all the time

  • goosebumps...

  • COOK WON ALL THE WAY

  • well shuuut up simon he wooon like it or not

    what ever he sings it will be aweeesom  love u david

  • Simon didnt give him enough credit this for me was david cooks best performance the song has more meaning than covering billie jean. . looking back i think this performance is underated

  • @smiffyp07 it most certainly was underrated. I think this is my favorite from him because it was just so heartfelt. Simon was WAY off the mark on this. And I still can't believe people say he didn't do as well as Archie. I love Archie, but I totally disagree.

  • Both these singers are very talented. I hope they reach their full potential :)

    Keep it up guys!

    Uriel

  • Ok people~ If you like David Cook watch his videos and if you don't why are you even on here making these stupid comments. If you like David A go to his videos. It doesn't matter who won, it matter what happens afterwards and look at the numbers. Also why comment on how you like the actual bands perfomance better? On the show they aren't trying to take over the songs, they are using the songs they are giving to show off their talent.

  • ur right thats my opinion too! i like them both(cook more!) and now look at them they are better than anyone else and it doesnt matter who won its just about who is gonna make it through and they both did! so congrats

  • Uh I like David, but Collective Soul is way better! I wasn't exactly thrilled with his spin on this song, but it wasn't terrible. Covers can be hard. I prefer David's original stuff. His voice is crazy awesome! I love his range.

  • Dang that was sad when he almost started crying

  • Man beats out queer any day

  • The only thing I hated about this was Simon's comment. How could he not see what David was telling everyone? Through his music, he was showing the world the pure and unconditional love he has for his brother Adam and I'm sure the feeling was always mutual. I don't know how he made it through without breaking down. I applaud him for making it through. Paula made the most awesome comment. I try to figure Simon out, maybe he was trying to help David come out of the world he was in at the moment.

  • David Cook has it all the voice the sincerity , he rocks..he is just amazing...

  • more like David Cook>every idol hopeful that ever appeared on that show, and that includes all winners before and after him.

  • this man have tha rock voice

  • He always make me amaze...

  • he had good hair that night! thats a great song, and the crowd cheering got him all choked up. what a guy. LOVE THE COOKIE!

  • LOL Simon's face at 4:23, he didn't seem to happy about what David said.

  • Well thats your opinion. I'm going to a dick and say your an idiot cause of the way you think of this show, I thought david cook was the one to win from day one. America voted for him so your just going to have to get over it, and the show is not rigged.

  • go in your room and watch Naruto or whatever is called...:)

  • Last year there were crises in my life that kept me from Television, the arts, .... great things like this gifted musician. Tonight I just saw him for the first time on SNL, fell in love with his voice and his soul, Googled him immediately, and wow.... I was missing a lot.

  • david cook is good but i think david archuleta is better...i think david cook is just on a tipe of singing,he's the same with all songs,,,david archuleta is more flexible,,can sing a lot of different styles

  • i think you are confusing the characters. Look on youtube at David Cook's first audition for the american Idol. That`s what i call a flexible person,you will see that he is amazing.

  • That's why Archuleta's CD has songs that either suck or sound exactly the same?

  • flexible like... singing just ballads and closing his eyes?? r u sarcastic?? lol!

  • WHATEVER!

  • thats ur opinion, but david cook won and totally deserved his win. i mean, come on, they both made it to the final two, thats pretty cool! i think they are both winners!

  • this was the only time i cried at an american idol performance

    so great!

  • Cookie is still my favorite even though AI8 has come and gone. I cried for weeks after the finale everytime I heard him singing this song on my I pod. I love Archie too due to Cook's love of his little AI brother. Cook and Archie respect each other so it's high time that fans of both do the same and respect Cook, Archie and the fans of both. they both work really hard to earn a living in the music business and are both doing well.

  • it comes down to selling more albulms, and having a voice that appeals to the general public, not just a few. Yes archuleta has a popish voice, but he can since othes types decently. On the other hand Cook has a very unqie voice. he got that deep disturbed voice to godsmack to idunno voice.Both still are amazing.

  • David Cook won because of his kinda ''rough'' voice.. Both are really good, but Cook is more unique, were Archuleta is more Pop'ish, which also is nice, but still i think its good cook won, and wtf? Both got a CD contract now , and are makeing music for living (:

  • David cook is awesome, he rocks, and this is HIS video. So all those who dont like him and are Archuleta fans better keep their opinions to themselves. And to the Archuleta videos.

  • Why dont YOU suck it? And wut the heck are you? His wife? hu do you think ur calling a bitch? And did i say anythiing against your fuckin idol? I dont give a freakin shit hus better. All im doing, is listening to David COOK's songs. Now i hope this pisses you off too. :)

  • they are both good singers! y all the hate? maybe archie didnt win, but i think cook and archie are BOTH winners. thats how i see it. and being rude and disrespectful like ur doing is uncalled for. this is dc videos, if u dont like him,fine, but if u have nothing nice to say, plz keep ur rude comments to urself.

  • omg! ppl are still talking about that, it was more than a year ago....the better singer, the one who WASN'T BORING, the most original, the versatile, the guy who has a better voice range won.. so get over it!

  • Noo

  • wut r u talking bout? both davids are good! im more of a david cook fan, but archie is ok too!

  • cristal342 wat she said is rong

  • simon was wrong i think it was his most touching performance

  • it went so emotional...:(

  • Their styles were so different. This one is actually a draw so David Cook won by a popularity vote is all. I like them both.

  • I just had to ran over here and watch this performance because tonight's Season 8 finale was so bland! But this? This is what a finale performance should be! DC rocks.

  • no...

  • I dont know whether Im the only one, but his voice is strikingly similar to that of Duncan James of Blue...

  • yeah... i quite agree with you... beautiful voices...

  • I really love this moment.

    i love it when he cried.

    genuine and so pricelss.

  • I didn't watch american idol on tv, so this is the first I've even heard of david cook, and that's only because it came up as a related video to a DAVID ARCHULETA video. Ha, that proves who has the more successful career

  • Who has a more successful career?

    'David Cook' is the best-selling album by a new artist this chart year by a significant margin. (Lady Gaga's 'The Fame' is #2, & she trails Cook by 415K units sold since the Billboard chart year began with their 12/6/08 issue). It was, at last tally, the 7th best-selling album of the chart year overall, & is one of only 8 albums to sell 1 million+ units chart year-to-date. Went platinum in less than 3 mos.

    Radio Airplay this week: Cook 8022, Archie 1711.

  • dude, he was just making a comment! you don't need to get so freakin defensive, it's just an opinion, no matter how accurate or not it is. grow up.

  • love this voice

  • really grajamie23? archuleta puts "freelings" into his performances?cuz i dont know of anybody who can put "freelings" into their performances. and i really can't believe that almost a year later people are still whining about who won. their both obviously amazing singers, and they both have great careers ahead of them. seriously, get over it and get a life

  • dude shut up, harsh much... chill

  • david archuleta was way better during american idol..

    it was just luck that made david cook win..

    DAVID ARCHULETA 4EVER!!

  • Actually, it was the trash of America that likes his 'rock' voice. Same thing over and over, right? But whatever.

  • wait so your calling half of America trash....wow

  • Hey jerk off...

    The judges don't pick the winners. The winner was picked by all you little dick beaters out there. You can thank yourself for whomever gets chosen.

  • lol what a nab. I think u dont know shit about how we chose the winner. Its not the judges!!! so stfu nab!

  • he really good i mean archuleta's good but come on he could be chad kroeger's brother nickelback rox xD

  • i dont like his voice i like david archuleta's voice WAYYYYYY better

    no offence

  • good then get ur ass over to archies videos and watch him..He needs the support for his new single thats not doing so well

    no offense

  • cook you're the best david!

  • I did not watch season 8 at all...and do I regret. I've been watching vids on both David's and Cook is by far the superior singer. Archuleta has a nice voice, but Cook is friggin' awesome!!!!!

  • Even if David Cook had not won he would be the true American Idol...In my opinion he is the best on this show ever!!!

  • There something fishy about the finale...Observe the comments of the judges for both contestants...The judges knew that David Cook will win...Please watch it again! OBSERVE...

  • On the night of the finales Simon had probably got the Dial Idol predictions off the net and changed his tune so as not to sound like such an idiot!!!! He felt on this night that

    david had lost!!!!

  • i think his sincearity is what makes him a good singer...

  • i agree with simons first comment -

  • hahaah.becoz archies fans are all young kids,thats why evyone is so immature

  • Your right he does have an indie/alternative band voice.

  • does anybody notice david cook's voice is like in some alternative bands??maybe in goo goo dolls??hhehee..

  • i pictured three days grace when i heard his voice

  • i pictured nickelback when i heard his voice xD

  • Its so sad that archie fans have to come here and be so disrespectful. Do you realize your hurting archies career and pushing away potential fans with your crazy stupid behaviour. I actually like archie, but his fans, not so much..so no, I wont buy anything else of his. Never. Congratulations you succeeded in losing fans.

  • couldnt have said it better luva...Archulletta's talented,extremely,but so is Cook,extremely,it was a good competition,different styles,different fan base but Archuleeta's fans come across as imature crybaby's...maybe coz they're mostly under 12 years old,lol

  • That was a tight race, I say they are tied. I think they each have such a different style they are both talented.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • nooo!david archuleta shouldv won!!!!

  • absolutely amazing!!!!THIS IS WHY HE WON!!!

  • wat d c should have won bitches pick david archeluta

  • sniff....i preffered archuletta by a mile....archuletta so should have won...

  • I have read some comments that want to hear David Archuleta sing in Spanish because I have good news, look ((Contigo en la distancia Honduras)) will find it there.

  • wow

  • who is dc? ..... video no.1 this week and his CD doesn't have a bad track, and it's near platinium after 6 weeks... platinum for TOML already....and his fantastic band.... and in concert he just blows you away.

  • I agree abd i'm a pop music fan

  • bitch shout up!u worth nothing.

  • It's interesting....Simon is opinionated and has voiced concerns about DC's judgment on the wordnerd video and on his song choices. On almost all counts "the people" have sided with David Cook with their votes. We'll see what kinds of creative differences they have over the next year! I hope DC gets to choose his music and hope that Simon sees that he is really on target with his choices....

  • great singer hottt to

  • i wish someone would post the music for this version of the song he did.

    i wanna play it on my guitar so bad!!

  • I appreciate this song alot more now that I have become more familiar with the lyrics. He did a fantastic job!

  • *swoons*

  • I LOVE this performance for some reason

  • David cook is the sexiest man alive, everytime i watch him sing this song i die.
