[floridechamps]

this it is my number 1 song..and him have a amzing voice!

[FrAnCiSaNdi]

david always get a standing - O because he always get the best moment every night that time.

[stead10pod]

This is amazing, I also love Matt Cardle from X Factor singing it, I won't say which is better because they're both different and both amazing!

[la7li]

I love the way he sang this song.  My favorite rendition!!! Waiting for David to come out with more of your great music! By the way, I wish this was on Itunes so I can buy it!

[ladyinredvi]

I love him.

[popoihurt]

David Cook is just AMAZING! I REALLY ADMIRE YOUR POWERFUL VOCALS AND YOUR ONE OF MY MUSICAL INFLUENCES WITH MY SINGING. ^_^ POWER POWER.

[Robert1sLadySaggie]

best idol performance ever

[unicornsxdoxexist]

LOVE IT <3

[LaNgUiDlY47AmBiTiOuS]

I'm sorry but Randy who? I can't believe he said what he did even though he loves Cook. I mean as a male you cannot, I repeat cannot sing that song any better.

That was nothing short of everything. Talk about choked up brother!!!

Nothing against Idol, but I seriously think Dave is way above this show.

[boo3241952]

Makes me cry.......not that Cook is the only one that has moved me this way.......but every time someone moves me like this I cry. Call me a wimp.....i could car less :)

[blkntandogs]

I bought this song, but watching him perform it is SO much better. I love the emotion he puts into it. He feels that song. And it's great to watch!

[crackinside]

priceless!

[slakchen4ever]

LEFTY HANDED ,FTW :D

[jensurs]

This performance gives me goosebumps.

[jayelzivi2]

Maybe Randy is sick.

or he wants syesha in the finale.

[victube0418]

Terrifyingly beautiful rendition of a ageless classic. The way David sang that song is the closest you will ever get to the feeling of FLIGHT. Truly electrifying to watch how David made that moment soar. Properly honed and given the right support, David can outshine all the Idols past. David is an electrifying presence and a truly beautiful musical instrument himself.

[ddviolinist]

wow, I so disagree with Randy, which is unusual. I LOVED this performance. He did rock this beautiful song. He was really great on this, and LOVE that last note!

[terestoye]

This oft-watched video is priceless.Thanks youtube for being ever invented.The video will be replayed every Mother's Day not only because of David's brilliant performance but also for the judges' repartee, the audience's reaction and Ryan Seacrest's excellent emceeing. I am forever a fan of AMerican Idol.

[David11cook]

LOVE HIM!!!

[ashfox04]

When you can pull off the Roberta Flack you have made it!!!! You r GREAT!!

[royroyce1958]

right decision i'm sure. nice song david.

[shaddixbabe23]

I agree.... hes a hottie with a SEXI voice &heart;

[nightmoves331]

Good Lord, yummmmmm

[lovedavidcook]

just one night w/ u David Cook. just one night! ok forever. I love you !!!!!!!!!

[DCookfaninWA]

David cook is all I have been listening to the past few weeks...nothing else out there!

Thanks Cook!!

[dideepoo2u]

HELP! I'm stuck on 'replay' and can't stop watching! He takes me breath away. Mesmerizing!

Vote for the Winner - the True Idol - David Cook!

[Denyalle]

Me too. Have been listening to this music since the show.

[TheHeartbreakBabe]

Same here, same here. All I've listened to the past few weeks IS David Cook. You mean to tell me there's other music out there besides the Cookmeister?!?! LOL! He's a gem, though. A real diamond in the rough.

[sgauntt]

If he doesn't win this, the competition has to be rigged. Archuletta is a excellent singer, but is totally not even on the same plane as Cook.

[Robert1sLadySaggie]

sgauntt, I have to agree. David C. is in his own league; he's an excellent rock singer where David A. can't complete with him; and can sing a ballad as well as David A. David A. is a beautiful singer...if he doesn't win AI, I'd like to see him come back in a few years...he'll wow them then too. For now, David C. has 'it' written all over him.

[fvera123]

this is simply brilliant

[dallascowboysDB]

I am just so in luv with David Cook!! I have been since the beginning! He is so amazing! This was absolutly BRILLIANT WOW! Such a beautiful song sung by a beautiful man with a beautiful voice! David Cook I <333 U!!!!!

[ShamuTime]

ADD AS FRIEND PLEASE=)

[kaijuman]

Well if that doesn't just move you even a tiny bit then you'd have to have a heart of stone.

My favorite performance all year!

[arpeggioh]

I second that emotion...

The only stand-out vocal of that evening, and the most emotionally involving I've seen all season. Cowell knows his Chit, man...

[TerriWantsInfo]

Just one word to say "AWESOME"

[Number1Cheer365]

He did an amazing job as usual! Does anyone know where I can download this song (besides itunes)? I can't find it on LimeWire...

[thebigbabboo]

you suck

[hazy1818]

simon was so brilliant to pick that song for david!!!!

[ckpac]

Randy let his silly, immature little ego come out and spoil a very special moment on Idol.

Shame on you Randy.

David was brilliant beyond anything I could have guessed. His rendition was tender and powerful at the same time. What a talent!!! He is the next AI. Already is, actually.

[amandaav24]

I will never again be able to listen to this song without a vision of DC! The most mesmerizing performance on AI this season. A TRUE star!!! ROCK ON DAVID!!!

[macmap53]

This song being sung by David sent chills up my spine. I was waiting to see what he would do with it.  I was not disappointed!

[nostalgicmelodies]

idol MUST let a rocker win to get credibility back!!!

[aubreeeeeey]

David Cook deserves the win. There's so much talent there.

[katsmeow58]

Outstanding! Incredible! Mesmerizing! If this guy doesn't win, then there is just something wrong. Who else but Simon would have picked that song for David to sing, and he knew exactly what he was doind and he knew David could pull it off. I don't think I'm going to forget this performance for a long long time. I have always thought this was a beautiful song, but in my mind now it will forever be linked with him.

[PinkFrostyDonut]

If Archuleta wins American Idol, that's 2 teenagers in a row for the last 2 years. I will start calling AI, the "Disney & Nickelodean Idol" or "Teen American Idol" or "Cutest American Idol". Because we are just wasting our votes on real adult music artists. Teens have 2-4 hours at night to burn in voting while adults have to go to work the next day and take care of life, family, etc. Cook deserves to win AI for all the musical contributions he has made in the show that have reached worldwide.

[ckpac]

I couldn't agree more. Well said! Mesmerizing indeed. Simon is a genious for showcasing David's brilliance with this song. David's creativity is on an entirely different dimension from all the others. What a gift.

[kprpearl]

he is just too awesome!!! let's crown him AI winner!

[annabellegabby48]

Ok Guys out there from the South, Let's represent! Cook needs to win this! He totally rocks. I got chills hearing him pull this song off by Roberta Flack, WOW!!! By the end of the song, I was in tears so proud of him...it was just like with Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and now David Cook. He's just got to be in the top two!

[Carrowmeena]

Guys, get out the vote next week for DC. It's close among the three, and if Syesha goes home tonight, her votes (and she has millions) could very well go to D.A. .

[Sushiluvr33]

diz dudezz crazy as hell! diz bitch can sing!!

[jericannon]

made me melt!!!!!he is awesome!I was a puddle on the floor.his mom looks so proud!

[pasinann]

Spellbinding!! Cook crabs your heart strings and sends chills through your body. Cook has a presence that leaves you wanting more!!

[kerketj]

And here is a Cookie for all!!! the rest are crackers!!!!

[lvu16]

chills

[hotgeorge44]

david cook nailed it, just like he always does, this guy has an amazing voice, reminds me a bit of daughtery!

[Carrowmeena]

I don't even have the words, other than thrilling, totally thrilling performance.

[FloatingGrin]

David Cook looks alot like his dad. What a truly beautiful performance. David sure took the night easily.

[FLYINGHIGH1968]

THAT IS HIS MOM.

[championxeneixe]

Who is that woman at 1:07?

[reinharv]

Never saw Simon clap in the middle of a performance--ever--loved this performance which proves what a great singer he is. He was fantastic that night.

[sweetsanity19]

nice to see david's dad for once

[jalooweeee]

i was blown off my chair because of that last note... amazing... just amazing...

[PinkFrostyDonut]

Starting at 1:50, Simon claps for David Cook. Yay! Simon liked his performance!

[cruzmanuel08]

He started at like 1:34

I've never seen him clap that much recently

[ErnestoAH]

Awesome, awesome, another must have download along with his remakes of "Always Be My Baby" and "Beat It"

[TheHeartbreakBabe]

ErnestoAH, he performed Billie Jean, not Beat It. :-)

[ErnestoAH]

I think I wrote the post too fast, my bad...sorry I did download "Billie Jean" Innocent writing mistake!

[TheHeartbreakBabe]

LOL! It's okay. It happens to the best of us. :-)

[KansasGirl30]

Wow!!! I'm completely blown away!! I love the ending.  Damn, he's good!!!

[dl3pod]

What's wrong with Randy? Did David take the last piece of cake?

[Nuggiepup]

I hope he makes that one of his songs on his first album. That was HOT.

[blondier66]

so touching..he was HOT..

[mrdecor8r]

SO much for the $5 covers we used to pay down here in Tulsa....guess we can pay $75 and see him play the Idol tour..

[syzygy08]

Go, Cookie, go!!! Bravo!

[myrarobinson42]

David cook,yes,yes,yes!!!!!

[lstntx]

AWESOME. David Cook is the IDOL.

[myrarobinson42]

thanks to whomever posted this,my dishnet went out and I missed this song. so thank you. i was wondering who would when. it is between David and David.this David nailed it!!!!

[sillyjillypilly]

VOTE!!!!!!

[sillyjillypilly]

Everyone needs to vote!!! This was amazing!!! Amazing and beautiful.

Keep voting everyone!

[mrdecor8r]

I think this was DC's best performance yet. He took a song that is about as far from his core as can be and turned into something great! THATS WHAT WILL MAKE HIM STAND OUT FROM THE REST...honestly, I thought if there was a way for him to lose it would be on this song..and he NAILED IT!

[megrimlockau]

nice - if I was in America - id be voting for him - best of the final 3

[vixenpgh]

Randy said he preferred it when David "Rocked" but as we all know, ALL good rockers must sing Power Ballads and this was AWESOME!!! He has the perfect voice!

[SassyTheWhiteMaltese]

I was so worried when I found out he would sing this but he was awesome! wow. Poor archie, he may not win this whole thing just yet! haha

[tobali26]

All three rounds went to David Cook. This one gave me chills.

[QueenCleobethra]

David Cook can do it all. Yes, Randy, we LOVE it when David rocks, but he can do it all! He can rock us all blind..but he also has the range to take on soft ballads. My God, he just made love to us all with his voice! He caressed us, gently laid us down, took off our clothing with his eyes, and took us softly and gently with that voice. Tell me ladies.. was it good for you? Cause that was the best I ever had!

[x3BRiTTx3]

hahah!

i loved the way you said this!

[QueenCleobethra]

I still can't feel my legs. Have mercy that man can sing his ass off!

[dideepoo2u]

'QueenCleobethra' - Are you familiar with that song? (I am old enough to be,lol) The third verse is:

And the first time ever I lay with you

I felt your heart so close to mine

And I knew our joy would fill the earth

And last till the end of time my love

It would last till the end of time my love

********

He leaves me speechless..breathless..I can't get enough. We all need to VOTE. VOTE like the tweens do - over and over and over. He's a True Idol!

[watchingallthetime]

ROUND ONE GOES TO COOK & COWELL.. and to his Mom

[KatyB34]

Loved it! Especially the end!

[huili2008]

I have tried to vote for the last half hr, but the line is always busy, I can't get through. I guess it is a good thing

[tobali26]

Don't stop trying!! I can't vote, so you guys have to make it happen.

[shamanluv]

Cook is just too perfect for words - I can barely contain myself right now and I'm not even eligible for the vote!!!!!!!!!!!! SO VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[elita2011]

GOOOD I LOVE HIM..HE'S JUST PERFECT!

[ErocKJaM]

ITS TIME TO SAY GOODBYE TO DAVID COOK!!!

Fake personality..

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Nonagon]

I'd say he had the most real personality. Syesha is too concerned to please in order to show personality, and David Archuleta is way too shy to show his out of song.

[mrkayyx]

It was still amaziing guys you ogtta vote syesha and david arch sucekd tonight so i kno we gotta get him on top everyone TOP!!!
