[OCgirliechick]

David Cook sang this so good that even Mariah was blown away.

I really really like Davids version.

Does he sing this on tour?

[zikchuz]

i lyk dz song

coz so nyc!!!

[BCherise19]

I will admit that David Cook did a decent rendition of the song, he brought a completely different element with the male counterpart/rock style theme. HOWEVER, I believe I like it as much as I do because it sounds enough like the original. You just can't touch a classic. I'm a diehard Mariah fan and this will always be HER song. I know others out there agree but I'm glad there is now an updated version of my favorite song ever at least! &&& no negs please I'm free to express my opinion. Thanx :)

[FloatingGrin]

I'm glad you begrudgingly like it. I love it but then I never liked Mariah. She has an amazing voice but I don't like the style of music she does. Just my personal taste. I'm glad that she loves it though. It actually gave me more respect for her as an artist :)

[Mravanilla]

yah..!!! its a matter of tym gurl

[mkleiner]

i'm in love with his voice and the way he sings <3

[otsowalo8]

THE BEST!!!!!

[cuddleywuddley]

i think david did better than mariah carey!!!!

i mean mariah did good but david brought the song out. like he showed that boy or girl can sing it and it is good either way. this was one of his best pefomances yet. randy is totally right!!!!!! paula always brings the best out!!!!! simons started out like uugh but then it turns into whoo!!!!!!!!!!! congrats david!!! i pray for your brother each night!!!! david really showed everyone what he could do.....awsome job david you deserved it!!

[papiliciously]

WOW...

[txhalfpint]

David Cook Rocks! I am so glad America FINALLY got one right for a change lets look at the past winners Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, Taylor Hicks and Jordin Sparks...whatever they all suck!

This will be the 3rd one they got right - Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and now David Cook and Chris Daughtry SHOULD HAVE BEEN on this list but again Amercia got it wrong!

You are so talented David keep the great songs coming your fans will be waiting!

[Phillyzepfan]

Totally agreed. Fantasia is an embarrassment to AI. Did you see her a few weeks ago? GOOD LORD! I love Kelly, Carrie & Chris!!! With David Cook, America got it right!!!

[Bezrecognyz20]

At 2:37 seconds into the film i just wanted to say "BLESS YOU" MY FRIEND...next time cover your mouth and don't sneeze on the microphone...

[maryaranxia]

I think that came from the person uploading the video...

[cherons34]

Joe Crocker- imperfect vocalist who has perfect intent in his songs. David's voice is friggin amazing. I am from the R&B genre and I am used to powerhouse vocals. Let me tell you this guy has an amazing instrument. He can tear the house down.

[beckylink]

THANK U cherons34!!!!! I am from a classical background and also sang and played keys in rock bands...and have taught quite a few singers. And I have been posting for WEEKS that this guys vocals are BRILLIANT. He possesses a raw wild quality alongside a beautiful, breathtaking timbre, and just POWER and CRAZY ability. He can tear the house down I assure you - I agree with everything you said. He will go FAR. His voice is AMAZING. The heart connection is deeeeeep. His writing is GREAT too.

[frogysoccer]

he is AMAZING

David Cook Rocks! I think he would definitely win. I made a cover of this song too for Mariah and Cook's fans :). Cheers!

[zorinav]

wow!another amazing song from david cook!i`m downloading all his songs.i`m so proud to be a david cook fan.he`s really my idol!

[hotram1]

Wow he had pitch problems through out the song and the last note was horribly flat. Overall it was a really bad performance which is too bad because the musical director put together a very simple arrangement for him. Did some of you miss the show a few weeks ago where Cook admitted he finds the arrangements on itunes and gives his ideas to the musical director, who then writes the arrangement for the full band/orchestra? The idols aren't responsible for writing the arrangements.

[AllieLuvs30STM]

Even if that is what he is doing it is a lot more interesting than the usual, boring arrangements the other idols are doing. i always look forward to seeing what he'll do the next week. Whether or not it's been done before or not or arranged that way before doesn't matter to me. i'm sure he puts his own spin on it in some way. He's unique none the less.

[miyorro]

i think there's nothing wrong with his last note... except for the part where he shouts at 2:34 - 2: 40... he did not sustain his note during that part... but i think it's part of his style... he risked some parts to have his own version of the song... and those risks really earned him a lot!

真棒，我喜欢

[shutuporillkillyou]

cook is better than archuleta.....for me...

[darkcircle2000]

the best.. he rocks...

[happyguitar3]

David Cook rocks! Definitely next American Idol! I did a cover of this for Cook's fans too. Chords available. Cheers!

[capwellian]

If David Cook doesn't win American Idol I am ashamed on behalf of this entire country. WE KNOW he's the most talented, now if only we can get people to actually VOTE for the most talented.

I vote for him for two hours every week. He is the best contestant in Idol history.

[neerodix]

wow!! i say bow to you david cook!! everytime you sing, i had goosebumps.. :)

[edajyort]

he really made the song totally different and fresh...he arranged it so well and i liked it...it just proved that he's really versatile...i hope david cook will be the next american idol!!!*wink*

[mishandmush]

he sings well, true - but he should lose weight! look at that bulging tummy, he isn't exactly playing the role he is supposed to play: a rocker, with that bump of his. plus if he wins, america will be fatter because of him.

lose the gut, dude!

[karbearkarinana]

that's stupid... america's already fat without the help of the skinny bitches who grace the tv screens... so its obvious that musicians and actors don't factor in america's obesity.... and i'm sure that all rockers always were ripped... and its not a prerequisite to the part

[fuchsiagirl]

he sings well and is very talented.

"plus if he wins, america will be fatter because of him." -- nope. america will CONTINUE to be fat whether he wins or not unless people change their eating habits and get off the couch.

[pinklaws]

I've watched YouTube vid's b4 but never joined 'til now - had to comment on this one! We live in Melbourne, Australia & have been "American" Idol fans since its conception - my husband and I love the standard of talent - colossal!! Our 6 & 3 year olds love it too! «-(¯`v´¯)-»DAVID COOK!«-(¯`v´¯)-»DAVID COOK!«-(¯`v´¯)-» As we, here in oz, cannot vote, I employ you to do the right thing by your wonderful nation & make David Cook the winner of this competition ~ NO ONE ELSE can do you justice!!

[vugur]

i love you DAVID COOK!!!!!!!!

[LadyRBlues]

"out of Karoke hell into a breath of fresh air"-that line says it all-great potential artist, someone who takes risks=American Idol winner=David Cook

[YANCYF]

why david cook. he deserved to go to finals.

[faorani]

i got goosebumps too!

the moment i found out that they'll sing mariah songs, i was like: "how can david cook sing a mariah song??"

but guess what...he did! and he did it very well! cant believe he sang "always be my baby" and still look hot!

ILL ALWAYS BE YOUR BABY COOOOOK!

[suthrndaysi]

Are we seeing our winner?

[suthrndaysi]

He did an excellent version of this song. 2 thumbs up!!!!!

[vivianubao]

David Cook is my favorite contestant!I believe that he is the best among others!!! I LOVE HIS VERSION OF ALWAYS BE MY BABY

I got goosebumps!after hearing that song! :-)

[happyguitar3]

I made a cover with a bit of twist for those of you guys. Chords are available. Cheers!

[hershey950]

Is Danny Noriega there at the begining? I LOVE him an Ramiele. I was so happy to see her and on Danny's Stickam people said Danny was there but I don't see him. Oh and great job David.

[ryandspace]

They need to stop pickin dolly and mariah songs....so lame....can we have someone else....that isnt girly?

[k3n12ock]

I honestly hope David Cook doesn't win. REASON being that, he has to record that shitty American Idol music. I mean, Imagine if Chris Daughtry won 2 seasons ago. He would have probably not put out his great album. I personally think it would be better if David Cook got booted and went straight into the studio because you know that there record labels dying to sign him right now. Great Job David Cook!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jackietackett]

That is so true. He could get booted now and still make a CD. I love him!!!

[yengga]

Ramiele.....

[BionicV]

Listening to it on TV with better sound quality it was amazing.

here, it sounds not so great.

David vs. David for the final!

[Jinjameta]

NOT THAT GOOD

[Jinjameta]

This guy is so crafty, I mean David C. He listened to some advice given by one website (unfortunately forgot the name of that website),on how to beat David A, sheding few tears was among these advices,, so crafty. I didn't like him at all from the begining.. boooooooo, David A to win.. at least he is so pure. America VOTE for DAVID A...

[memyselfandi2525]

does pure means boring? because if it does, the it's true...

[onad09]

he's just being smart choosing the right song and making an excellent arrangement to it.. shedding few tears was not intentional.. the comments of the judges were really overwhelming, even I was overwhelmed hearing the comment of simon who rarely gives that kind of comment..

[maryaranxia]

My friend, I burst into tears at the respose to his performance myself. This is one of the most haunting renditions that I've ever heard. I've been saying for weeks that I'd be willing to buy his CD NOW! I hope he wins the competition. I didn't think that he could do better than Billie Jean but I've been completely blown away by this.

[AVGNfanaticVII]

I almost balled too and I'm a 21 one year old man.

[jackietackett]

America vote for DAVID C!!!!!!!

[ProvocativeWoman]

Great rendition of a classic MC song. Good job, David!

[magicator]

That was crap. But I loved it.

[datrooth007]

that was terrible

[budz316]

super fantastic!! good job david cook!

[avabiancawoot]

lol ramiele's there
