  • Does the pretty face really cover up how horrible his cover is? Is that what music comes down to now? Pretty faces?

  • @AxelSoul Unfortunately, these days, pretty faces is all it takes to become famous.

  • @AxelSoul its not about what the person looks like,its about ppl enjoying the music and THAT is wut matters the most! he had to sing that on idol: i guess they have a theme like country music,opera,etc,well you get the idea. i think hes very talented. if you dislike this so much,then maybe this just isnt for you.

  • Cook is my favorite Idol contestant of all times. However, this song was probably my least favorite of all of his performances (even though I still think it was a decent performance). The original cover, done by Doxology, was not great. I'm glad that Cook generally used his own arrangements throghout the show, because they were far superior.

  • I'm sorry but this is not how Eleanor Rigby was supposed to sound.. Just sounds too rock-ish.

  • Respect

  • i really prefer the original version!

  • I can't help but agree.

  • God, this is horrible from someone who listened to Revolver a ton. It's like... exemplifying why I hate modern music and American Idol. Putting a lame rock twist to it... the clapping... God, terrible.

  • fuck u all haters! go david cook!!! \m/

  • I came here because Susan Boyle is Eleanor RIgby, come to life, and getting even with the world by blowing them away with her voice!

  • judging by your support of archuleta, your musical tastes are crude at best. I like both versions of the song but it's rediculous to assume that a song is amazing just because it is famous, for your future reference.

  • @WeWos4evah they have a theme every week for idol i guess,whether it be opera,or country music,you get the idea. besides, i think he did a good job on this version of the song. he took the song and made it his own.nothing wrong with that. david cook won fair and square. he totally deserved his win. they both came this far didnt they?they are both talented. be happy for archie, stop dwelling on it,move on already!

  • loved his version

  • Screw you guys! I love his version!

  • Horrible

  • Why do haters keep on bashing cook's vids??!!

  • brutal

  • no cuñado!!!--- la fregaste en la ultima parte!!!

  • nada on! como q la frego??? fue una de las mejores, junto con BJ, ALWAYS BE MY BABY, HELLO Y THE WORLD I KNOW

  • i kinda liked it ......

  • Not like Archuleta ruined "We Can Work It Out" though.

  • I could only endure the first verse barely until almost screaming.

    My god this was terrible. Please American Idol.

    Don't make your shitty contestants sing amazing songs and ruin them.

  • worst crap ever....destroying a masterpiece!!!!

  • oh, no.

  • What the hell? But I guess this is American Idol, so what do you expect. But, wow, this is bad... If your gonna give me a thumbs down for it, just make sure you listen to the original before you do.

  • i personally dont like the big finish and some of the note 'alterations' if thats the rightwas to say that...

    but otherwise it was ok

  • wow i think im gonna be sick

  • i agree..... this is terrible... how the hell did he win

    he fucked it up

    it sounds gay

  • wow.

    he's completely ruined the song.

    :(

  • U can't ruin Beatles songs.

  • everyone can kiss my ass.

    he rocked this song

    THANKS

  • This is definetely a crime against music... can somebody kill this man for doing this to the beatles?!

  • I love the scream!!!

  • His hair was so cute back then!

    I love him.

    I get a rush when he throws his hands in the air like that.

  • iluv this video! david cook is soooo hot! thx 4 making the video!

  • If you hated it then why come back for more? Go listen to what you like. A novel concept huh?

  • u idiot u know nothing about david cook if think this performance sucked!!!!!! loser!

  • useless video

  • loser!

  • very good update

  • lol sweet he sings Day Tripper and Elenor Rigby? niceeee..

    though i dont think this is as good...

  • I'd take Macca over him any day ;)

  • I'm a HUUUUUGE beatles fan, and I'm sorry and if don't like me for this then oh well, but I just have to say that he killed an amazing Beatles song.. Nobody can top the Beatles. RIP: George Harrison and John Lennon

  • that is some shit video quality

    and why did he make fun of the beatles?

  • Come on, man, of course adding a guitar would be overkill. The original was one of the first rock songs to utilize purely stringed instruments. It's way too easy to use an emo/death metal arrangement. Plus, he's way too amped for such a low-key, sensitive song. Chris Cornell's version of Billie Jean was too low key for heavy guitars and so is this. Vocally, it's a standout, but it takes more than a great vocal to produce a hit.

  • Yeah. Hes shoulda challenged himself... maybe including an accordian + jaw harp in the mix.

  • McCartney's a better singer and he's 65.

  • couldve done better

  • Check out my Beatles Motorcycle. Type in: Beatles Motorcycle

  • Sorry ppl, he's not gay. Dating Kimberly Caldwell, has the hots for MANDY MOORE. Get the info correct. I guess its just wishful thinking on your part guys.

  • i saw ellen...he never said that, you really have some growing up to do if your going to call someone gay just because you may not like him...

  • American Idol is not a singing competition. It's a talent competition, so one does need to be better overall. There was no one that lit up the stage nor excited me more than David Cook. He had that "something" and he has more of it than alot of famous folks do. He did most definitely deserve to win. I will say, however, that Chikezie is very underrated. He has a great voice and I think would have been a contender in prior years. But this is the year of The Cook and you can't take that away.

  • It can not beet the Beatles!

  • good song, bad quality.

  • wow worst graphics...

  • woah.. what a video.. large pixels... wooot

  • thats the worst quality ever!!!!

  • Rated Poor for bad graphic.

  • what kind of crappy graphics

  • unbelievable quality

  • singing the beatles twisting your voice like this to make it more 'rock style' is NOT quality. it's bullshit, and it's boring.

  • the quality is amazing

  • Dammit, David. This was your chance to prove you can do more than do great rock music and you blew it. Sure, it reinvented the song, but its the same stuff he's done before. At least the Phantom of the Opera song he did was different. This guy can definitely sing anything. But I hate this arrangement.

  • its not his arrangement... its a band doxology.. don't hate on him for the arrangement

  • Actually it is

  • a little i guess... i think i am thinking of somethin else... he took two versions of the song and mashed them together i think so guess you are correct

  • O.K.....I just checked out the video regarding the little girl Lindsey Rose. I am now more in love with David Cook than ever before. He is a class act all the way! This song is one of my all time favorites. There is no way anyone can think that he sucked on this song. It was his version of it and I love it so much more than the Beatles version. I also picked him as my favorite from the very first audition! He is it for me, hands down! I am obsessed!

  • check out "david cook lindsey rose" it shows how genuine and goodhearted david cook really is. plz check it out because its really sweet and touched me and hopefully many others. :-)

  • His take on Chris Cornell's Billie Jean (MJ cover) was great. But man he sucked at Eleanor Rigby. The Beatles can't be done justice by this guy.

  • No.

  • sorry people hes just nit my favourite. I know you guys all like him just please don't kill me.

  • the quality??? the fuck!?

  • WTF with the horse metaphor, haha.

    those judges are insane. cook is alright, and seems a very cool person, but he's not too original. smart and human, which is great, but he sounds like Hinder and Daughtry and Nicklback.

  • wow! one of his hottest performances. Including Billy jean.

  • Congrats to him for winning. you Americans are lucky that you had a final with two people who equally deserved to win, that hasn't happened in Britain for a while (then again we are a lot smaller).

  • that was horrible. oh god. i hope mcartney didnt have to listen to this.

  • No, that was nothing short of amazing!

  • no, that was nothing short of sucking absolute ass.

  • dude the beatles were pioneers, nearly every rock or pop song out there has some connection to the beatles

  • not that good? oh. forgot how many dumbasses are on youtube...

  • whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaat?????

    blasphemy.

    whether you like them or not is moot, but saying they were not good just makes you look foolish, sir.

  • if you can't spell it then don't bother to comment...it's The Beatles and they changed the world idiot.

  • Tard shit you don't know the beatles if u cant even spell it and it not your right to bash people who like the beatles it all in your Opinion and that fin but just dont even tell people that a band sucks. i love the beatles so don't comment if you cant spell. I i was next to you i would give u a dictionary.

  • i think daivd cook is gonna win

  • LOVE.

  • love the song, great performance, voice a bit pitchy but he always rocks.

  • no they didn't, there is nothing like that at all on tmz

  • Slandering and lying about Cook, no matter how you try to make it look legit, won't work for anyone with a brain. just shows how a sick mind works.

  • Not bad i guess, he does have talent.. Did he win ?

  • nobody has win yet..now it's top 3

  • Ohh ryt i didnt kno it was this years' =]]

  • great quality vid...NOT

  • he is sooo amazing and i just want to eat him with a spoon cuz he is soo freaking cute!

  • he's getting cuter, cuter, and cuter XD

  • i loves me daivds voice!

  • i love that about him!

  • WTF he's not gay and he doesn't have a sister you crazy people. Hush.

  • wtf hes not gay!!!!

  • XDradio does this on every single site that David cook has--I swear--go look yourself. He's a sick moron. He pretends he likes DC, but leaves these sick comments all over the place. What do you think--maybe another contestant's rabid fan or just a mental case???

  • he has such a nice strong voice...just love his singing and this version. the video is messed up though. What happened?

  • loved this version. love you Cook. you sexy beast!

  • Wow nice comment did you put it on spell check.....He didn't make a mess of the song, it is a great version and he kicked ass....I did like Michael john but he was voted off like 3 weeks ago get over it.

  • learn how to spell before you post comments.

  • Wow, he did an amazing job butchering such a great song.

    I cant belive people like this crap show.

  • wow. the picture was sooo messed up!

  • I thought this was terrific. Loved the original, too, but the original wasn't as gritty.

  • I love David Cook but I like the original better but this kicks ass too.

  • what does lmao mean?

  • Laughing my ass off.

  • ohh

  • Nice quality...

    lmao

  • didnt care for this performance. i liked day tripper a lot more

  • This was really good. Actually, all of his songs are good. I hope he gets like second or something, though. Then he can do his own thing.. Let Archuleta win and have him enter the AI mold of half ass pop singers who release one album then sink back under the radar.

  • my idol already

  • Actually, David Cook didn't arrange this one, Doxology did, so it wasn't David Cook's fault that you didn't like the arrangement.

  • EWW

  • LMFAO

  • if david archuleta wins, his record company will drop him faster then he can lick his lips for the one millionth time.

  • LOL @ licking his lips

  • ok here it is top 3 is gonna be david c. (oh god i hope he wins) david a (a cutie but definitely not as cute and talented as david c ) and carly smithson.

    MARK MY WORDS!!

  • You were wrong ;)

  • with david cook you get everything. with (lol) David Enchilada you get a piano thrown in, a bunch of tweens screaming and get to see him lick his lips every 5 seconds.

  • with david cook you get everything. with (lol) David Enchilada you get a piano thrown in, a bunch of tweens screaming and get to see him lick his lips every 5 seconds.

  • He's the best by a longshot. It's gonna suck so bad if he doesn't win. I have a feeling it's gonna be down to him and David A.

  • id rather he looses so that he won't be the idol and he can go his own way in recording contracts, since no one will pass on this talent. hes the best but i think it'd better for him.

  • I agree with you. I want him to at least get second place.

  • He did a rally great job with this. I believe he will win. If he doesn't win, he will be a close second. Either way, he is going to be a MAJOR recording star after AI!!

  • SIMON for PRESIDENT!!!!

  • lmao.

  • lol David Enchilada. I really hope David Cook wins too. He has a very good judge of music too. He can definetly go all the way.

  • David Cook so deserves to win!!!!!!!!!

    As for the evil ones that should not be able to post in here, get the heck out of here!!!! I mean it! If you really don't like it don't stick around and insult people!

  • i like the original way way way way way way way way way better

  • Excellent version. David is really talented with all the songs he did! You got my 2,000 votes again next week. You're the "real" deal. Very creative.

  • i hate how randy jackson always says the same shit like "yo dawg u had some pitch problems." I often wonder if randy knows what pitch is.

  • Yeah same here. lol. aq1q

  • Love this! check out my version if ya like this song!!

  • horrible quality

  • horrible quality

  • uhmm why is that football dude fucking commenting ever ten seconds? like, really, stfu. if you hated him that much you wouldnt read these comments like all the time. so stfu. cook, dont listen to him. your freaking awesome..

  • Because he is in here reading this?

    LOL

    He KILLED this song, the only reason I looked in this video is because I was searching for, You got it, the real song.

    I found this, watched it, vomited, and made a comment.

    Sue me you retarded drone.

  • Me and Kelly seem to have dominated the whole page. I see this as a good thing. I have now taken over the world. Of youtube. Of this video. Of one page of one video on youtube.

    Gosh I should become a pro rambler.

  • It is not so! Josie the moose, my deer dear Kelly.

  • The only thing he did wrong was sing one line of lyrics wrong. It's "Darning his socks" but it's still WAY BETTER Than the original. And Boo to those who disagree. If you don't like it don't watch it.

  • Why are we all argueing? OK, I can't really say I like the Beatles wihout lying but sheesh guys. Can't we just keep our argument-making opinions to ourselves alone?

  • Indeed. Also I've noticed the picture quality is awful.

  • Kelly, dear, its hard not too. Indeed it is blinding. Offensive even.

  • Deer? Me. Not I'd rather be some kind of animal. And I know you will think "wtf? random" and that is why I am saying this. Josie, deer.

  • ill tell you were they came,or what cause their loneliness...those stupid "friends" //unreliable..

  • this was the best im soo gonna try and sing a song wit u david cook!

  • stellar performance.

    even if he won't win,

    probably he'll sold out a million of

    albums!

    chris daughtry & david cook are the bombs!!!!!

  • oh yea!!! I always thought that David Cook would be the 2nd Chris Daughtry, but better!!!!

  • hmm. how nice (sarcasm) Idiotic
