I agree with Randy it was ok. Good rendition though, lots of flats but you cant' really tell. This song is just out of his range, too hardcore. Soft rock suites him more, this song is more like Ballad and rock.
Why would you match Steven's version with David's? David made it his own. He's his own person, he has his own style and OWN voice. I think he rocked this song :)
@loic74290 it's not about reaching the high note, you know. Just because Steve knows how to sing the high notes than David doesn't mean he's version is better that David's. I know he's the original, but David put his own self into that song, which makes his song better than Steve's.
David Cook is a good singer, I'll admit - but he always looked way too serious after the songs. That's one thing I couldn't stand about him. He rarely ever smiled and embraced the crowd. It was almost as if he was focused more on winning than the actual effect his singing would have on others.
David Cook and his "graduating class" were the last of the best on American Idol. It has been all downhill since then. The night he won and he invited the top 10 onstage to join him, just look at the great voices he had to compete against. It was the last of the best. And DC is an artist, musician, arranger - and a true gentleman.
Chris Daughtry, David Cook and Kris Allen really deserve the fame American Idol has given them. And David, David steals my heart everytime I hear him singing, his voice is just incredible.

I love that he took this song and gave it a slightly different feel and made it his own because there is no disputing the fact that Steven Tyler sang the hell out of that song. Ppl please remember when these guys go on idol their job isnt to sing exactly like the original artists, a contestant main objective is to go out there sing to the best of their ability and put their own little stamp on an amazing song, which is just what David Cook did here
Pay attention, Idol contestants - if you can't hit Steven Tyler's high notes, don't try. Work around it and sing notes you can sing and do it well. David Cook knew this, and we have this very respectable performance.
Gokey didn't know this, and you have the atrocity of his "Dream On" performance.
@popsyzoom I agree, I LOVE David, but I do feel bad for Kris Allen. I really liked him on there and while I don't think his voice comes anywhere close to David's, he was talented in his own way. American Idol did nothing to help him out when he won. They didn't push his music. It's like they punished him for winning.
from every competition or reality shows i have saw, only david cook who can really sing "i dont wanna miss a thing" far much better than the other person.
I think Paula just fell head over heels in love with David. XD. I did think this was magnificent though. Even though I was rooting for David Archuleta the whole season, I did respect and like David Cook as well.
@taylorswiftfanzgirl Ehh Adam was O.K. And this year the judges let just about anyone on the show. They may be good singers but the show, its self, has gone down hill.
@1BlueFantasy1 I can agree with that on just last year(Season 9), per say, but this year is AMAZING!! There will be a 'great one' this year, cause all the remaining contestants are already great! :) :)
this was the last season that had the three original judges. kara joined in 2009. ellen joined in 2010. in 2011 both simon and paula were gone to be replaced by jlo and steven tyler. Season 7 (2008) will always be one of the best. It was the last great season.
That is one hell of a hard song to sing without Steven Tyler's vocal range. Something very few people are blessed with no matter how talented they otherwise are. Cook did a great job. He deserved to win that season.
It was pretty good up until the end when he went completely off key. I think Allison Iraheta sung it much better. No offense to Cook fans :) Of course Steven Tyler does it best. Would love to hear Adam Lambert cover this one!

Not bad, but actually when you are used to hearing steven's version, it's quite hard to listen to it...
he doesn't do high notes as steven do at 1:17, for instance.
He can't get high enough, this is not a song for him.
