David Cook Little Sparrow Dolly Parton American Idol 4/1 08

[NotTwoBrite]

i'm sorry, but who is 'davis' cook? DC was awesome on AI, it's too bad he hasn't had more chart success...

[wintereis57]

Ah, he makes a pop/country rendition of a song that was an instant classic.

[xloveXghoulx]

Ok, I like Simon and all, but the song is not about sparrows! It's about heartbreak and the sparrow is used as symbolism. -_-

Love this performance.

[okeeffechannel]

GODDAMN IT I MISS SIMON COWELL!!

David Cook is simply

the best.

[kimmydarra]

it is sad to say that even cook lost his "small" stardom today. he should have took good care of it..

[1goodworld]

@kimmydarra David is almost finished recording his second album right now. 

[jasonstorr]

i like both boy,they both good at their own thing!

[FASTWORKER36]

I LOVED DAVID COOK HE MADE EVERY SONG HIS OWN AND GAVE ME GOOSE BUMPS ON EVERY PERFORMANCE.

[JackDammitRun]

david made me like dolly parton's music. nuff said.

[georgiafayfar]

@JackDammitRun pardon me. I was looking for Mindy Smith's Little Sparrow.

[shahryar9944]

His Voice is DEEP !!!!



[Fight4you1]

he made it his own song, and his falsetto was amazing. He had great control of his voice, and his vocal range is unbelievable



[jonniemike]

Simon is such an idiot sometimes...seriously.

[schanteuzer]

Very nice

[Cheeser2012]

This is so boring. Cook was obviously not as good. look at the comments and views on Cook videos compared to Archuletta. Everyone also thinks Cook is not as good. All he said in this song was "little sparrow.....little sparrow...little sparrow....." Wtf. lol

[1goodworld]

@Cheeser2012 I think Archie's fans should learn to respect others.

[Cheeser2012]

@1goodworld I can truthfully say I have respect for all kinds of music. He has a good voice. But bad song choice is very common.

[reinharv]

@Cheeser2012 Poor Archie, his sophomore album isn't doing too well. He dropped 74% on the 2nd week and totally off Billboard top 50. I actually thought Archuletta did way too many old-fashioned ballads during the competition & frankly got boring to me. Archuletta fans are way OTT and very immature & Archie's 1st album only produced one platinum single while Cook's produced 2 platinum singles, 1 platinum album (in less than 2 months) and a gold single.

[davidcooksweety]

@Cheeser2012 really? i dont think it was boring at all! i think he did a great job on this song! maybe he was tryin to make it his own or do something different with it. nothing wrong with that! its not about who is better or who has more views on videos:its about ppl enjoying the persons music and that is wut really matters. btw, i didnt think it was a bad choice. alot of ppl seem to enjoy it. if u dislike it so much,then theres no point in being here now is there?

[canonselphycp]

LEETEL SPAAAHROOOOOW!!! LEEEEEEEHTIL SPAAAAAAAAHROOOOOW!!!

DONT TRUUUUST TEH HEArTS OF MEEEEEEEEHN!!!!!!!

[1goodworld]

Respect.

[KrisAllisonKelly4evr]

love this!

[gracehi]

@ElderAaronDavis

I would love to tap dat ass too, but DAMN. That was WAAAAAAAY to graphic.

[cookie4me]

@ElderAaronDavis

...Sometimes, fandom really goes too far. :P

[mattthorn]

Nice try, but doesn't hold a candle to the original.

[floydmatt987]

@mattthorn What Dolly remakes do?

[MrHalmyr]

Simon has produced some of the longest running T.V. shows(Power Rangers) so how has he not done anything with his life.

[monkeymonkey52]

when simon said the things about david cook and little sparrow i was heartbroken? how could he say that about david cook? i thought he was awsome in this video

[bg11215]

Deep down inside, Simon is just insecure & bitter because he hasn't done anything with his life, nor does he have any talent himself, so he has to try to tear down others. Until he gets up there and sings a song, then he has no business criticizing everyone others. He had to have felt teeny-weeny when he found out that Dolly Parton wrote and sang that song. You know he felt like an imbecile, which would be the correct feeling, because that's pretty much what he is.

[bg11215]

Simon is really be such an ass.

[alrightnowbaby]

Where's the tip?

[clumsychoco]

wow nice song i like david cooks version bettter more upbeat and he made it his own, nice! :)

[melaniestevens]

His voice is technically speaking very nice but I think Dollys version has a lilting depth to it. Hes really talented. I enjoyed listening to it.

[xTPxRaptor]

I like this song

[aurush4]

Davis Cook rocks! lol (read the description ;)

[MrAsset]

dolly wrote it....

[MissBi123]

May i enquire as to if you really believe that crap???

[crazy4faith]

It's an interesting take on a Dolly song. Sorry, but Dolly still rocks this song better than Cook. But it was a good rendition, I have to admit.

[mkrybar76]

amazing song i rememeber when he sang it he is amazing

[musicalidea]

This man has the makings of a bona fide pop star. I wonder which label will sign him.

[CathyEM]

?? He was signed by RCA and released his debut CD a couple of months ago!!! It's already gone gold and I love it!

[kitkat51021]

american idol signed him =( they get like half his profit and get to pick where he plays

[sanosaki]

yes,and this "boy" sings this "girl" song better than any girl

[KoOoLQuEeN]

boy singing girl song? pffffffft. archie was better than he was

[kcnccarolina]

Is this bluegrass? I've never heard Dolly write anything except country? Yep he IS the winner, Archuletta was not natural enough, he seemed studio trained. Luv Sparrows & all God's creatures :)

[DonnaRowe]

I wonder if Dolly wrote it. Someone posted a vid of Dolly singing this and put up the lyrics in the info section. The Elizabethan spelling makes me think this might have been a traditional English or Scots-Irish folk song.

[scouter231]

dolly wrote it its on her album of the same title "little sparrow" im a metal luving head banging burn out, but Dollys bluegrass releases once i discovered them are some of my all time favorites she can write some haunting wonderful music and her band is superb !!!! she will make you cry!!!!! take a listen to "I am ready" on the album the grass is blue

[DonnaRowe]

Thanks for the info. I thought she had, but the other video had me a little puzzled. I guess it was just someone using creative spelling. :-)

This is my favorite Dolly Parton song of all.

[Almasoul17]

totaly wrong whit the "winner".

david archuleta its the best

[KuRoMeNoHiMe]

o.O

[SeXYMuSIcadDicT]

bullshit David cook was better and achuleta had a lil boy voice when cook's was full and promising!!

[kitkat51021]

go get them cook haters! bc cook rules

[Fab5Productions]

awesome

[WarriorOfChrist777]

OMG after hearting this he's better then David Archuleta.. but Hey GOD gave us all a voice

[nanza87]

he is the best one this season...and he sings this song beautifully... I fell in love with it emidiatly...

[Blarneymansays]

enidiatly? wtf

Are you retarded? It's immediately. Jesus Christ.

[jaw5791]

lol, ive met one of you before. Seriously get out more, virtual terrorism, its so lame :P

God Bless Also

Jay ;)

[Blarneymansays]

I just had to jaw5791. That was one of the worst attempts I've ever seen at spelling. How can anyone be so lazy. They're typing ON A COMPUTER, WITH INTERNET. It would take 5 seconds to spell check, but I am probably asking too much from someone who spells emidiatly. Again, Jesus Christ.

And God bless to you too. I predict in the future a whole generation won't know how to spell. Out of sheer bloody laziness.

[jaw5791]

Lol, well heck your just looking out for the future. I can't argue with that :)

Take good care,

Jay

[Wyliesmom]

David Cook is so versatile. He's going to do very well!!

[patchchat]

Hmmm. I'm liking this more now that I've listened to it a few times. This was really good. He is something else!

[reusername]

watch "american idol prank" ant dec funny video

[apacheowl]

all the way david cook!

[michaelsloverr]

i want david cook to win!!!

i know archuleta have a beautiful voice too, but cook has something special that archuleta doesnt.

cook can transform well known songs into brilliant renditions that sound nothing like the first but are AMAZING

[people1012]

It's amazing. He can make a song about birds sound like... Amazing

[subsufmonru]

he sings this song so SEXILY...hehhe

omg he's just 2 hot n loaded with talent..

luv his...arrangements......woahhh­h

shizzle

nuff luvage

xXx

[garnetred02]

Yeah I agree.. doesn't matter who actually wins AI... David Cook is the one who will be singing this time next year~ I might buy "favorite christmas carols by David A" but thats about it.. if it were on sale after christmas.. maybe.

[Dagtexiss]

Love his version of this song, it's beautiful and he made his own.

beedoggie, you took my words. Cookie is THE MAN. I'm pretty sure that all of those 12 yrs old that votes for The Little Cute Dwarf will, in 5 yrs or less, feel very ashamed.

Archuleta has a nice voice, but he's miles away to be the real thing.

Cookie rocks!

[AbercrombieBlondie11]

wow he can make any song sound great!!

[golfnut6868]

This is my favorite song that he has done so far in this competion.

[musicmaniac555]

david a. david c. and carly = top 3

[XxDeaQueenxX]

DAVID I <3333333333 YOUUUUUUU!!!!

[Haleybaby111]

Before american idol he did have a record deal but iam not sure what happened. So did carly. I think it will be between him and david archuleta. Even if david cook dose not win he will still go very far. I mean look at chris daughtry! he didnt win and look how far he has gotten!

[beedoggie]

Its all about David Cook all the way. I don't care if all the 12 year old girls in this country votes for David A and he wins american idol...its all about David Cook

[JASwimmer]

vote vote vote pleaseeeeeeeeeee!

[GOTMILK1235]

u like jason? wow...the top 2 should be Syesha and DAvid ARchuleta and syesha should win. this time when david c. is singing it's good, but this is the only time i've liked him

[FlickFan1]

Seriously how is David Cook not signed already?! he's so talented!

[momo1096]

WOW!!!!!! I love david HE ROCKS!!!! i hope he wins

[coastergirl94]

[coastergirl94]

[coastergirl94]

i love david cook!!!!!!!!!! i mean just listen to him and you just know hes gonna win!!!!!!

[noitcafsitas]

he sings really good, there's no problem...but it's not so interesting, nothing new, I wouldn't like to buy his cd...i'm fun of jason and I think these guys should be in final

[wabbitswife]

David should be one or I should say will be one of the final four finalists

[pianistica]

he looks so good in white!. :)

[pianistica]

woow, I just feel butterflies! ahahaha, awesome!. :)

[NiiTanYLiOn315]

David Cook is sexy..and talented. He is incredible.

[TEW611]

David Cook has the most talent, best voice of anyone on Idol this year. Like Simon says,

if it stays a singing competition instead of a popularity contest......David should win.

I love the other idols as well, but David Cook has the whole package.

[022130]

love cookies and David is my favorite!!!

[TALEEN4]

i like david archuleta WAYYYYYY better he kinda sucks

[denver6342]

David Archuletta is a one trick pony. He sings the same sappy type of songs every week.

[dancingqueen016]

he sucks

[babe32090]

OMG i love him! lol i vote for him every week =)

[Cherstars]

This guy is amazing!

[chazerc]
