David Cook - Hungry Like The Wolf (5-6-08)

[tommyboynude]

a way to kill a song...fok!

[longfootbuddy]

i was all ready to enjoy this duran duran song, and then....crapola

[gotikcute]

Adam Lambert was better...voice and performance. I'm just saying...

[mclmsf5]

i thought it would be really hard to get a season of american idol better than season 7 but this current season is definitely close

[bobafooz]

Are you guys kidding me? This is sexy as hell.

[diamond19971]

i like sonng good voic!!! he hsould ofu

[EVHisGODD93]

he murdered this song

[TheStinkyHindu]

@EVHisGODD93 agreed, rushed and failed.

[brockb20]

I think that he should of came in 2nd place that year

[AnalMart]

naaaah. Just doesn't do it for me. Just sounds off. Duran Duran does it way, way better.

[the0fart0machine]

Good voice, but wrong song choice.

[coolhand1966]

suck hand

[theycallmelefou]

He may be the idol, but this performance blows.

[darcyperkins]

he's good but it's like he's trying to put that phony emotion or toughness or something into his voice that is so prevalent today. for me at 43 singers of the past had distinctive voices and many were untrained i think. cuz many popular stars today are going to music schools today and all being taught to sing the same way. any thoughts?

[rongravy]

boo, he thoroughly sucks.

[libba72]

@rongravy Terrible, No one should EVER do Duran Duran, unless it is Duran Duran.;D

[rongravy]

@libba72 I'm sorry, but no one DOES Duran, they do YOU.

[JohnnyLovelyOfficial]

david cock

[starwarsfan450]

david wasnt good here but hes usually good

[kittyphilly1]

yuck i cant even listen to this.

[arm1207]

im srry but this was horrible

[gnaurphebats]

Cook is a talented individual and kicks ass, but this is average at best. Just being honest.

[safroniamay]

Love it - David looks great here!

[juggsgr]

flattest - version - of this song - ever :(

[painfulgrapeshot]

@juggsgr Yes, quite.

[mehcook72]

no some people are wrong david cook is so amazing peirod!!!!!

i love u david!

and i want to have davidhasmyheart for my name!

[musiclivesalways]

he did forget the lyrics. i love david cook but the mix just sounds bad. i still love him though

[Love36214]

The actual recorded version sounds great. This was a bad job by the AI sound crew with the mix. David prowling around on the stage was hot though.

[DavidCookFan82]

@Love36214 I completely agree. :)

[willynilly1]

It sounds bad because the vocals are to loud in the mix...

[cjf799]

If you ever butchert a WHO song again I will freak ...

[wissphoto]

I use to love Duran Duran songs. Maybe not the best choice but he was sexy as hell when he sang this. He said in interview that he originally was going to sing All Along the Watchtower, but switched it out cause he didn't want to have 2 slow songs since he slowed down Baba O' Riley. Can you imagine him doing some Jimmi Hendrix. That would have been cool to see how he interpreted that song.

[0sira]

This did not work. I love the song though.

[cookhasmyheart]

u rock cook he is sooooooo hot in here!

[autumn1231]

Veiwed this in error so thought I'd watch. Never saw AI. This guy really sucks bad.

[HMCSHalifax]

Ack, I love David Cook, but geez, the backing music is WAYYYYYYYYYYYy too subdued, so it sounds like crap :(

[boredoman]

Yeah, David Cook is awesome, but this was definitely on the lower rung of his performances, probably only above Innocent. Probably because of the "Doo doos", Cook didn't do it well, it sounded like he forgot the lyrics tremendously (I know he didn't, though).

But still, I thought it was pretty solid. And I was an Archie.

[blueora28]

agreed

[alliefan5]

ohhh plzzz sing any other song u want but plz DON'T ruin a Duran Duran song.

[willbond]

I disagree. Duran Duran songs need to be done this lamely.

[earthboundgman]

his worst by far

[musicdude2009]

He was my favorite that season and I still like him as an artist however I was only slightly dissapointed with this performance, I know he could of done a lot better but at least he did good with Baba o riley that same night.

[warholboy]

total crap

[agentkro]

I don't like this at all...

[LilBlitz116]

this really sucked cuz david cook has an amazing voice

[Asics5421]

You suck

[Asics5421]

You suck Shephard Boy

[KevinJonas124]

you suck Asics5421

[kellylovesdc]

he's smile makes me melt=p~

[eagletonjacob]

david cook has a amazing voice no wonder he won american idol season 7

[KevinJonas124]

well get over it!!! he won and the season 7 competiton is over so yeah, its over!! i thought he did GREAT!! and i am not just saying that b\c i love him but he is very talented

[mattgardner20]

this version sounds like doodo

[iheartcb19]

i hate the doo doo doo dooo part lol

[chasbink]

it doesn't matter what this guys sings he can sing it and sing it well... I am a huge fan! I knew he was going to win the first time i heard him sing

[helovesmakenzie]

Hes Cuuuuuuuuuute<3

[davethecrow]

yeah! that`s bad. really bad.

[geelzgurllili]

he sucks, i dont like how he sang this at all, sorry, but thats my opinion

[Timeforthaunted]

um...he sings nice and all, he sings amazing but i don't like what he did with this song...kind of like Eleanor Rigby, they could of been sooooooooooo much better

[brisblondie]

This is the version where the band was only being heard through the vocal mike and the vocals were completely dry. TERRIBLE MIX. Listen to the other versions with the band properly miked

[Jannetty]

Not good at all. He has a tendency of ruining good songs lately.

[hotspot85]

wow!!!

[Baileyrocks7598]

HES SOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOD! U PEOPLE R JST JEALOUS CUZ HA WON AND 'david fartuleata' did. lol [jk david a. is good 2] :] lol

[tanbir11]

ah he is a good singer but the duran duran versio sounds so much better

[CookieFan16]

I love David, and mostly every song he sings, but this version is very over powering, and rushed. The recorded version that was on iTunes is a lot better.

For the first time since Carrie Underwood, America got it right.

[backpacc]

This is weird...he is on American idol and already acting like he is a rockstar.

[cos7ate9]

oh my gosh i love everything he does! i think this and every other performance by david cook is perfect and totally awesome :)

[bobafooz]

ECSTASY

[suppa8789]

I dont like his do do do do do do s

[sweeterthanhunni]

I know.. it totally ruins it.

[macisdubomb]

very good but it was a bit fast

[gossipgirlstyle]

ok I love him the most crazy way you can possible imagine. Really, a big fan. But one little tiny thing that calls my atettion every time I see him is this neckless; What about it? I mean, why does he use it? It's a lucky neckless, I don't know. Somebody, please, explain it to me!!

[NailsForDinner]

0:55 he looks and sings like Jack Black

[Beatlescutie93]

He has a very raspy voice but he can do quite everything with it. He can sing almost any type of music. I hope in his album he doesn't do any cover songs and takes risks. He didn't win that competition by being safe. America did a good choice in picking him.

[waltermg1]

is he related to dane cook dont go all out on me if i wrong you wii fan boys

[BassManiac07]

I wish.

[TheHabboChannel]

he looks like it LOL!

[rockstarangelz920]

This was Cook's BEST week!!

[politoedisawesome]

Is it just me, or are the "DO" parts of the song a little rushed?

[monkeyviper]

Well...the song is normally about 3 minutes 30 seconds. They are limited to about half that. So they have to make a custom version of the song and he is trying to get as much of the lyrics in as possible

[kjm1017]

uhhh, i think he did that to kinda change it up alittle because the judges thought it was a copycattish. but yeah ur right, they did sound rushed,

[archuletalover1990]

I loved it but it wasn't his best performance

[seashell67]

i dont really like him he is good im more of a archuleta fan

[countrySTAR06]

i LOVE him and his little bro archie!

[vanilla900]

He deserved to win. Not the best song he ever sang. his voice sounds a little scratchy but i love the song. GO DAVID COOK!!!!!

[trptsklz]

He deserved to win.

[jackerzsnackerz]

i love it how he has this thing where he takes the microphone stand and drags it around with him i love it.

hes incredible.

he is brilliant.

[petsmart22]

smells like chease

[CathyEM]

The mix was off all night on the TV broadcast -- we could barely hear Bandzilla for once -- but I think it really made a difference in the energy of the song.

[1texasfanhere]

He just looks like he had so much fun singing this!! He did a great job!! Part of the performance is to enjoy what your doing - he did!!!!!

[radioactivemonkey7]

I like him, it's just that he acctually SAID that his skull was large! You keep it in your pants, jerk!

[instrumentalartist]

this is a very bad recording where is the music....

[Coolmasta89]

he sounds like crap, totally ruined the song

[radioactivemonkey7]

He has an abnormally large skull...

[davidblake101]

well if you dont loike him keep it 2 urself dont go telling every1 bad stuff!!!!!

[hadirunite]

i dun really like this one...but he is brilliant

[krayz0125]

dude, hes so hott! Yay u won! I was so happpppy!

[nathansgirl08]

I never liked this song that much... until this guy sang it!

Im so glad he won, this world needs another rock singer

[SHESHE005]

so hot!

[Raylander9507]

i like this music

[ChiefsRock19]

I think this is one of his best performances

[CookieDavidIsYummy]

sexy!!!!! im hungry for you cookie :P :P :P, i wish i were paula, except i would've chased you backstage and made love with you :P :P :P :P. so happy you won!!! randy and simon were cold! =[

[CrZy4AlFiE92]

omg..i love him...

<3

[cmyster73]

[ShakeAlongWithMe82]

American Idol WINNER? ARE WE FUCKING SERIOUS? Only in America folks, ONLY in America. Up Is DOWN... DOWN is Up

[spartan11036]

what he is in america

[hannahw1013]

i'm not hating matthew. . .i'm stating a fact

[saralovejonas]

wow widescreen much?

I LOVE DAVID COOK!!!! i hope he wins

[saralovejonas]

why is this spaM?

[hannahw1013]

he's screaming raspilly. not singing. . .

[matthew523]

Dont hate.

[musicdude2009]

This one was alright but his second song that week was what made the case for David Cook.

[narutofan966]

David Cooke rules!

David Archuleta looks like, 2. Im naming him Fetus Archuleta

[S3XxAyMaMii4LyF]

LMAO... FETUS ARCHULETA

[moogletotema]

ROFL!!

[dirty06maggot]

fetus archuleta whahahhaahhaahahhaaha. you're really funnny. i'm gonna remember that one.

[zilam98]

this is a pretty indulgent choice and performance

[KillerQueen247]

i really dislike paula. is she scared to criticize people or something? its like shes always trying to please everyone so that people like her.

[FoolsApril64]

The sound mix was off and though I've heard the mix was fixed on the west coast feed, conspiracy theories still abound. You can find versions of this on YouTube with the better mix and the difference is quite noticeable.

[sk8erfreak1998]

dhes so awsome hes gotta win boo archeleta

[momojave]

total crap, thank god i don't watch this...

[KillerQueen247]

momjave you just watched it now... wtf.

[momojave]

I mean on television

[davidaidolfan32]

haha ur sooooo rite he sucks!!

go arhculeta!!!

[lovedavidcook]

BUT I AGREE THE mic was Louder that the band. That is why he didnt sound so good. I love ya David Cook anyway. You are gorgeous and so sexy!

[gamesboy11]

YEA! David cook rocks! he is probibly going to win American Idol!!

[Blonde24PicClickHere]

/watch?v=1UEOZGFzPas

[Blonde23PicClickHere]

/watch?v=1UEOZGFzPas

[NeverOnFire613]

THE MUSIC WAS NOT LOUD ENOUGH!!!

The volume on the mic was louder than the music!

[Sco6014]

EVERY FUCKING WEEK!! I hate the mixer on the show because they are doing a terrible job this year.

[blueride38]

yuck--didn't work

[s4life]

awful

[makara]

LOL, Paula is hungry like a cougar

[TradaBoy]

as a duran duran fan ... im mordified by this version ... brutally awful

[TheMachoNacho44]

DAVID COOK ROCKS!!!!!!!!!

[Caliwaii1359]

I think David's performance really connected to the audience. He was amazing, he was totally into it and he really let himself go. I think he will pull through until the very end. I VOTE FOR DAVID!!!!!!!!!!!

[alyssaazzz]

omg he is realy awsome and i luv when he was talkin in the begging realy hott

[lovemelma]

addictive video just like his other videos!!!

can't help watching it again and again!!!

[lovemelma]

I love the way he whip his arms at 0:52...

[lovemelma]

AMAZING!!!

This performance totally ROCKS among others!!!

I wonder what's up with the judges?!?!?

[jaella08]

holy crap, what the heck is randy trying to do? steal simon's entire identity???

[Caliwaii1359]

They probably got their souls all mixed up.

[magicalwand06]

Archuleta is BORING! He should be on the Disney Channel

[jaella08]

hahaha, true that!

[sorinavio06]

man....i wish that was my hand at 1:34 :) <3

[herdncrazy]

Antikoolaid lol I coulnd/t havesaid it better myself!

[AntiKoolAid]

P1ZZ off Archietards, you wouldn't know rock if it shined out of Archie's rectum. BORING little boy man makes my grown up girl teeth hurt.

And for all you woman lusting after Archie...WTF??? **skin crawls**

I'm Chris Hanson, "What are you doing here?

[mrc926]

Cook is my fav. Should have sang Day Tripper tonight. Baba O'Reilly blew me away. Archy sang his usual ballads, but really well tonight.Still prefer Cook. Love his singing style.

[chngdwrld]

...what did they do with the music?...scammed.

[chngdwrld]

...es because someone took out the sound-is it sabotage?wassup?

[rockinindigo]

Cook is not a good singer at all. When it comes down to being a rocker. He sure Fails. Any true rocker would've beat the competition this week and his performances were below average! Now if it wasn't for Jason's failure, D.C. would surely be going home tonight. David Archuleta?.WELL I THINK SIMON PUT IT BEST,YOU DIDN'T JUST BEAT THE COMPETITION, YOU CRUSHED THE COMPETITION!!! VOTE FOR DAVID A.(TALENTED, MATURE FOR HIS YOUNG AGE, HUMBLE, GOOD PERFORMER AND VERY DOWN TO EARTH PERSON)

[ChemicalCorruption]

May you be crushed yourself :].

[rockinindigo]

well, i used to like him, but i just think that he is plain annoying! i love rock music, but his song is just not worth listening anymore, especially this one, david archuleta for the win!!! VOTE FOR DAVID ARCHULETA!!!!!!!!!! THE NEXT AI!!! If by chance, (i know it will never ever happen) if david c. will win, billions of people will be disappointed and can cause AI to be one of the least platforms in the US today...:(

[sbcooler]

The sounds is mixed HORRIBLE...the standard def version was mixed better...I had this same problem...can't hear the band...check it out on other youtube videos of this song...some you can hear the band, others like this it's almost acapella!

[cpfreakster]

they need to have "Duran Duran Night"

or another BeeGees one...I'll take that too haha

[Lu70sChild80sFan]

cpfreakster...I'll vote for Duran Duran AND the Bee Gee's to be on again...We will NEVER get music like that back again...Hense my name...Being a teen in the 80's RULED!!! LOL!!

[sweetspot9]

it will come down to cook and archuleta. Unfortunately this is a popularity contest and not a talent show. Archuleta mormon will win

[williamss89]

archuleta looks boring as heck and lame, cook looks pretty cool

[fercho50c]

that sounded like sk8er boy from avril lavigne hahaha hes good but please don't chose duran durannn! so many good rock bands out there

[takeitorleaveit]

Ironic,because while he was doing a shitty cover version,I was seeing Duran Duran sing it live.

[Lu70sChild80sFan]

takeitorleaveit...YOU SAW DURAN DURAN LIVE?? LUCKY YOU...That's funny though, while this was going on, you were looking at the Sexy Simon Le Bon...LOL!! Like my post above, I was loving this song in 1982, at age 10, when D.C. was just born...Hehhe!

[shemeon]

He's the only one that actually 'rocked' on 'rock'n roll' night... Kudos for that. He's the best.

[mitznc]

Incubus did a cover of Hungry Like The Wolf that David could have really rocked.

[pm273]

ok so Whhhahhaattt!!! he had what... one ok song choice outta how many??? hes still the best one. hes never boring and the songs he chooses never sound the same unlike some in this group..

[atlast23]

I think he's great.  Still the best overall performer of the evening.

[mackychic]

I love David Cook, But I have to say, this was not his best performance, compared to the past songs. (Seemed like the mic was louder than the music in the back ground, which made it sound to pushed. BUT then again, alot of people are saying that if he is voted off, it might be for his better, so he can do HIS songs and not follow AI rules as the winner, which I'd rather see the real David Cook doing HIS thing. SO, with that said, he is my favorite as always but he mayhave done this on purpose.

[Wrightis]

terrible. scratchy. lifeless and exhausting.

[aerorox1263]

Talking about yourself? Or are you talking about Archuleta?

[colormylife4692]

that did not work for me.
