David Cook NBA Finals

[sirfortiscue]

It was simple and clean the way a National Anthem should be. 

[TheSmileygirl90]

You know, I actually think he did a great job. If you aren't watching him, and you're just listening to his voice, you'd probably agree, and the reason it sounds so different is because he isn't trying to hit eleven thousand different notes at the same time, like most people.

Elliot yamin national

[SexySady65]

I like David Cook, but he did say the wrong word in our National Anthem....

[Rudytheboss100]

I like David Cook but in this video he sucked ass.

[emerson24]

@Rudytheboss100 LOL. LOL. I love his music, but after listening to some of the others who won AI and such, I have to say that some of them didn't do the anthem all that great.

[xXMistressOfWinterXx]

If some people are saying it's terrible, YOU try singing it infront if that many people. I'd like to see how'd you do.

[liokiko1992]

i can't understand that...his high notes are amazing but the low notes(like in the start)omg.....they are a mess.....he must be cold or something this is not normal....

[DkCub23]

you guys should watch eliot yamis! its amazing!

[gospelgirl88]

@DkCub23 elliot yamin's performance of the star spangled banner was one of the worst i have heard. he didn't have the range

[DkCub23]

@gospelgirl88 Really?! Maybe we watched different videos.

[gospelgirl88]

@DkCub23 no--it's the same video. the pitch is all over the place, it's awful, and he has no personality

[DkCub23]

@gospelgirl88 Haha, Could you tell from the way he sang it?

[dodger5520]

he has a lot of respect and true of what his sings... u can see it on his eyes and facial reaction

[archieHOHO]

i think he's nervous!

[fruitx4yay]

poor thing.. he said he was soo nervous on Jimmy Kimmel.. "That was the coolest thing I've ever done and i never want to do it again."

i luv him

[mackygerman29]

the first pitch of the song is flat. But I love his version rather than the version of KRIS ALLEN. But i like them both

[niwniw]

david's version is good...it is the first time i heard a rock star singing the USA's national anthem...Kris was fine...didnt get goosebumps anyway...I had with this one... Kris' voice was smooth...

David's voice doesn't suit songs like this...but his is good also...heheh

[billo2121]

I love you morons picking at his performance like you know what the fuck your talking about.....everyone here is a music critic

[annieb346]

First listened to Kris, then Cook. Both were good, but Cookie's voice has so much timbre and depth that Kris doesn't have. I like Kris' voice, too, but there is definately a twang there!

[gemmastarrz]

sorry but I like David Cook and all but I liked Kris's better for some reason....like something didn't seem right when David was singing it.

[idontcarewhatname123]

cook was okay with this song but he was alot BETTER than kris. kris sucked at singing the anthem.

[myfantasia]

This is awful... kris allen will be better on sunday... watch it guys.....

[gemmastarrz]

I agree...kris's was smoother and fit his voice better or something. David's version sounded forced and weird...David has a good voice but I didn't like this.

[15mahatma]

he isnt good in singing this song but actually... he is totally stunning!!!!!

[blueyesand]

very pitchy, Cook was having a bad day that day. Not his best. Sorry Cook fans

[davidcooksweety]

whohoo!david cook rocks!!!!!!!!

[iiFlowerss]

actually, i dont agree with all of you. i kinda liked it. actually, not kinda. i loved it. go david cook. <3 [:

[samrlim]

Shocking as if he is drunk that was really terrible !

I hope he won't sing THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AGAIN - It's HORRORIFYING !

[pandajo94]

yuck. wow that's not very good.

[samrlim]

Wow, I can't believe what I am hearing is this the American Idol winner. Hahahaha! No comment this is my first time hearing this. Now that really proves that AI was really rigged.

[smaze23]

i agree with the guy in the crowd go lakers!!! its lakers time to shine in 09 baby! and cook did a good job but he could have more fun less serious must have been his first time

[gospelgirl88]

@smaze23 david cook is always boring

[LoriVampp]

[guitarchic232]

i think he could have had some more fun with it, but he's definately awesome =]

[calicat23]
