David Cook "High & Dry" (Radiohead cover) 6/27/11

[toddwarehamusic]

aweseomness. love this cover.

[jCityDNB]

He better than the radiohead Singer. Perfect acoustic version!

[kjroutson]

Awesome cover!

[MimiXtinaChelleKRow]

awesome! :D

his vocal control is amazing one of pop's best belters! :D

[Sanjim24]

@MimiXtinaChelleKRow ur right about his awesome voice but with all due respect, he's not a "pop" singer, his genre's somewhere between Alternative Rock and Post Grunge.

[AvaFlava009]

If these people don't think anyone can sound better than Thom Yorke than why the hell are they even bothering to comment/watch this?

[daneckenrode]

Great cover, that early Radiohead was the best. I miss the days of OK Computer and The Bends. I never actually payed any attention to Cook, I might have to change that.

[Radiohead4121]

@daneckenrode Actually "new" Radiohead is better, 2000- present.

[daneckenrode]

@Radiohead4121 I'll respectfully disagree. I still enjoy the new Radiohead, but it's not the same as the Radiohead I fell in love with. Out of the newer albums I can find a couple songs on them I like, but I love all of OK Computer, The Bends, and most of Kid A.

[Radiohead4121]

@daneckenrode Oh weird, cause new Radiohead is much better even though the first album I listened to them was The Bends. By the way I think Kid A counts as "new Radiohead". In Rainbows I think is their best album, because there is not one weak track, which is extremely rare in albums.

[daneckenrode]

@Radiohead4121 I liked a few tracks on In Rainbows, but it's too similar to Kid A and it's kinda boring. I still say that OK Computer and The Bends were much better than the new ones.

[oogieeman]

love the blank looks on the teeny boppers face! its like they dont understand this thing called MUSIC!

[cookdenmark]

HI!!!

Oh YES David Cook did win American Idol. It was the amazing season 7 in 2008

[cookdenmark]

HI!!!!

OMG, once again David Cook manages to make a fantastic cover. I like the original, but think David makes an incredible version here. He still makes me speachless, to use one of his own terms!

[exterMEANator]

That was awful.

[sparklingcider44]

he is the only american idol winner i ever liked. more respect for covering radiohead.

[IvyNirvana]

@sparklingcider44 He didn't win, but yea he's awesome for covering Radiohead the audience was like "WTF?" when he said he's doing a Radiohead song, dumbasses.

[sparklingcider44]

@IvyNirvana actually, he did win lol. hit up wikipedia for confirmation if youdon't believe me

[2jean6]

I'll take this cover over any or all of radiohead's songs anytime!

[backtotherooster]

I don't know why some folks are giving this guy a hard time. If you knew anything about Radiohead you would know Thom hates this song so I doubt they give a fuck about how well or not he covers it.

[juanfranciscoh]

@backtotherooster Source?

[backtotherooster]

@juanfranciscoh An interview with Pitchfork Media in '07. Thom regarding High & Dry: "It's not bad... it's very bad".

[MouzMusic]

I heard that radiohead did a cover of this song!

[secreticelandprod]

@MouzMusic I heard that up yours

[noserider207]

where did this "winner" go after he won idol?? 

[chanelvanderwoodsen]

@noserider207

He spends his time doing charity events to help kill the disease that took his brother from him and so many others from their families and loved ones, instead of obsessing over chasing empty fame.

Problem?

[alisonbroadway]

@chanelvanderwoodsen Amen!! <3



[mamasmoot1]

@chanelvanderwoodsen Yes, he does - and most of the charity work is done with very little or no publicity at all - no "lights, camera, action - here I am - photograph me doing good," like some of the so-called "stars." David is the real deal ... talented, giving, sweet and gorgeous - inside & out.

[bearcatnat]

I love it! All you Radiohead fans that are putting David Cook down...just why are you watching his video if you hate him so much??

[sasukesakura20]

Love love.

[Airaheta1fan]

A David Cook Allison Iraheta duet would be amazing..

[skipstah70]

yeah... sounds like a cover you don't normally do... considering no one has ever heard of what you "normally do". The reason so many hacks love playing this song is A... it's only 3 very favorable sounding open chords. B. it's very easy singing lyrics with easy nice sounding falsetto... but your band still sucks for covering!!!

[illidan10]

yorke is the radioheads singer? this acoustic performance is better than all the performance this trash band has made trough their career... and im not even cooks fan, but this is honestly amazing , better than the old rock "one of many" radiohead performance...

[CNorrisBiggestFan]

@illidan10 - trash band? You're just too naive to see Radiohead's brilliance.

[AcousticBruce]

Yes!! Awesome!

[GREEKCOOKIE2]

JUST WOW!!!!!....SIGH... GOSH...I LOVE EM.......

[krunkytrunks410]

great great cover not yorke but great cover

[patyac48]

Beautiful!!

[swong066]

love this cover and song!

[Pjsev]

He must be left handed. 

[312ssg]

I absolutely LOVE this cover -- DC's voice is beautiful!

[AvatarMajere]

Very good cover. Well done.

[Moggs24]

Everyone gets all mad when someone like this covers Radiohead. Just be happy that he thinks highly enough of them to cover their song.

[dicksteele75]

he .. fucking .. killed it

i cannot explain in words how you single-handedly ruined one song of the

greatest band ever .. Radiohead

[IvyNirvana]

@dicksteele75 Im a radiohead freak also, but how his vocals don't measure up to thoms but was it that bad? lol

[cnpenguin25]

@dicksteele75 You need to stop smoking that shit because its made you deaf and dumb.

[dicksteele75]

@cnpenguin25 You really need to stop letting random dicks into you cause it's getting sand all over your vagina.

[cnpenguin25]

@dicksteele75 So original. What are you, 3? Get a life, loser. And clean your ears out while you're at it :)

[dicksteele75]

@cnpenguin25 Ha, says the guy who thinks Cook is better than Yorke

Don't bother, you probably don't even know him kid.

[cnpenguin25]

@dicksteele75 Hey Dick, first off im not a guy. Secondly, I bet I'm older than you are and I know exactly who he is. Lastly, personal taste is different for everyone. I have my opinion just like you do. Just because you believe what you do does not mean you are correct. For example, this situation. Have a great day.

[dicksteele75]

@cnpenguin25 Haha, only a woman would think cook is better than Yorke.

Go back to finishing up whatever it is that you were doing, be it washing clothes or cleaning the kitchen. Go listen to some " Cook " while your at it.

[mamasmoot1]

@dicksteele75 WOW....I've just read the epitome of ignorant. If she needs to go back to finishing up whatever she was doing-washing clothes or cleaning the kitchen-YOU need to go back to the 1930's, when other ignorant men like YOU thought of women in this light, you ignoramus.  By the way, if you can't understand some of the verbiage I've used, there's something called a DICK-tionary you might consider reading - instead of lurking around David Cook sites. Ugh, you're pitiful.

[safroniamay]

Wonder what he's thinking about when he sings this song...

[jennyssissi]

Welcome back David Cook!

[luciferozone]

awesome

[Axis1991]

The other guy should stay sit down or doing something, it's like a fucking robot...

David, nice voice man

[abigail3129]

thanks so much for this, don't have the chance to watch him live over in malaysia. love his voice.

[waikeit94]

@abigail3129 yeah, too bad David can't come to Malaysia.

[luciferozone]

@waikeit94 yeah it so bad if he come to malaysia i watch him there

[yamiupsolate]

If I get enough thumbs up, he might come and cover me ]:)

[fangirl2themax]

I have been stuck on this video for 2 days now. The audience was mesmerized. I am mesmerized. 

[rascalete100]

David's voice is so beautiful and soothing on this video, thanks! Love his emotions

[fangirl2themax]

As others have noted, I have no words. Damn.

[kimfalleiro]

David Cook is truly amazing *-*

[SugarOnIce16]

Beautiful!

[312ssg]

Wow!!! What a gorgeous voice (and face)!

[jennyssissi]

this guy is amazing!

[MrPratiksawant]

yorke will be proud.

[nflhester3]

@MrPratiksawant it's on vh1, there's no god damn way thom would be proud

[BamoTheProducer]

@MrPratiksawant I doubt he will lol. This is an amazing cover of an amazing song, yes. But Yorke hated this song so much that at some gigs he blankly refused to even play it lol.

[mainedcfan1]

David's falsetto in this is SO beautiful, pure and amazing! Gives me chills. And I LOVE the close-ups...could he be any more gorgeous? Wow.

[sobeit526]

What I like most about him is, that whether he's singing a cover or one of his own songs, he feels every single song he sings. He has a true passion for music.

[SharkCreativ]

sooo goood .... but he must start to road his own songs



[l0r3st0]

this is the sound of david i don't hear anymore until now, and only when he covers songs, esp. radiohead's. i prefer this sound, this voice. but i'll alawys support him. forever a fan!

[GREEKCOOKIE2]

words cannot express how much, i love this song, his voice , this man....once again, beauty inside and out...fills the room...i can see his halo ,i'm addicted to his light 4ev<3

[cooksluv1]

David is amazing !!! Thanks for this vid - I just love everything about him.

[Dcookfan2]

I Love, Love, Love David! I get lost in this song..

[panda8a24]

after hearing this song everyone in the crowd is going to go buy all of Radioheads Cds . lol i know for fact

[illidan10]

@panda8a24 i heard original one... never heard about the band before and now i hate it cus thay suck, david cook made this song 10 times better, and im not a fan of david

[cougar40n]

Encouraging all Cook fans to view this vid on VH1 Top 20 Live, where it originated - that way, VH1 knows how much we love this. Comment there, too please! This was one of several amazing Cook & Neal performances that day in the VH1 "garage" in support of David's new album, This Loud Morning.

[2jean6]

So beautiful and achingly haunting! What a voice this man has!

[zippy426]

I wish they'd play this on VH1 - So beautiful!!!!! I love when they pan the room - everyone is under his spell!

[zippy426]

I wish they'd play this on VH1 - So beautiful!!!!!

[cmfjpurple]

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to see David sing with feeling and emotion. He is such a well rounded man. I really don't think the world knows what they have in David and it's sad to think so many people will miss out on his beauty which comes in all shapes and sizes - heart, body and soul. I'm a fan for LIFE!!!

[NyCArole426]

David can cover any song... and make it his own!

[DYE9]

One fan!? :O

I bet after this performance, the audience went straight home and downloaded the song :)

[lesliejay09]

If I could, I would sit here all day and stare at this video. The voice, the man, the beautiful song, the whole enchilada. It's just beyond words and achingly gorgeous!

[TheOpabinia]

My God, this is beautiful.

[kcdshg]

thank you so much for posting this. He and his voice are so beautiful.

[Jackie63ish]

Immm~~~~~~~~~~melting~~~~~~~~~­~~~

[lynsoulsings]

So beautiful and tender.

[silentrain1203]

Absolutely beautiful. As a radiohead fan i can confidently say He did that song justice.

[lotus627]

Wow...what a great job...one of my favorites for sure. I love it!



[atf015]

That's right...NO dislikes for this!! Love anything he sings! :)

[GREEKCOOKIE2]

omg...so freakin good .....n hot as always......

[safroniamay]

Aw jeeze! I can't take too much more of this awesomeness.

[CarrieIsDaBomb]

@safroniamay  hahah

[rodnanerodnena]

beautiful!

[Malou1988]

uhhhhmazzzzzinnnn!!!!!!!



[iCookVoter]

amazing job on a song he doesn't normally sing! He's the best for sure!!

[MrCookRocks]

Beautiful!! Thanks for posting.

[ChrisLuvsCook]

It was such a JOY to see this up here ! This video would not play for me from their website at VH1 and I couldn't understand why. I really LOVE the way David sings this.

[Tlatz]

This is AMAZING. LOVE Radiohead, and this is a fan-f*cking-tastic cover!

[bejayful]

I love him. I love his voice. I love his music. Thank you for this video.

[MrCooksNumber1Fan]

his range STILL amazes me....<3 I love you David...

[tayshayfan]

Thanks so much for this pearl. I have been searching frantically for it. What a beautiful voice and falsetto.

[MicahBuzan]

excellent cover of an excellent band

[krnelson1109]

Love this cover. Thanks for posting. Beautiful.

[Der3licTfish]

Excuse me while I pick up my jaw from the floor. Breathtakingly beautiful! The song I mean. Well, that man too. I wished they put a shorter mic in the middle though, so we can appreciate Neal's awesome guitar playing more. It's a wonderful arrangement. (clap, clap, clap, clap, clap!)

[altess1]

Another gem in a sea of gems by David Cook. That voice has blossomed from very good to nonpareil-- gorgeous falsetto, too.I will be following every step you take, though, until I hear your cover of Every Breath You Take, a song I have cherished for decades, and one that I have always thought you could do more than justice to. Oh, kudos-- bravo-- for the masterpiece that is This Loud Morning.

[lapislazuli6]

Simply beautiful. Thank you for posting this!

[kcdshg]

Thank you a million times for capturing and posting this!

[cookfantoo]

I have no words to express what this song did to me (and I don't think anyone will not understand that). I can only express my thanks for you in publishing to this venue, since I was not successful with the direct access. What a treat!!!

[mermcc]

Beautiful song...amazing performance.

[IIdolizeDavidCook]

His mouth is sooo purty ..... TY for posting

[xuberalles]

David can cover anything. Just insane. So much talent.

[jcb88ify]

@xuberalles yeah.. always singing others' songs. so much talent

[cnpenguin25]

@jcb88ify Always singing others' songs better. So yes.... SO MUCH TALENT!

[NchTrovert]

@cnpenguin25 Get the fuck out. This cover is great, but nothing compared to Yorke's vocals.

[jcb88ify]

@cnpenguin25 haha, you think this guy sings Thom Yorke's songs better than Thom Yorke? you're insane

[cnpenguin25]

@jcb88ify Just the fact that you are disrespectful enough to refer to him by name and yet David is "this guy" shows exactly what kind of person you are. Not someone whose opinion I would ever take seriously.

[jcb88ify]

@cnpenguin25 well compared to Yorke, Cook will always just be "that guy".. but whatever lady, you keep listening to him, i prefer the real deal.

[mamasmoot1]

@jcb88ify What? Others' songs? Huh? I don't think so, nitwit.

[mahchiarello]

Yay! Thank you a lot! :D His voice... God! And, the close ups.. wow! ♥

[mlarracuente]

I cannot describe in words how proud I feel right now of my favorite word nerd, DAvid Cook!! I thank heavens for finding this amazing voice in this world full of cheap autotune. I'm a lifer! =)

[JacksperFan84]

@mlarracuente Me too... definate lifer!! :)
