  • Tears coming to my eyes...listening to David singing this Dolly Parton song...amazing voice :-)

  • still watching and lovin it in 2011. <3

  • Does anyone know where I can download this song? My Mac & Ipod crashed at the same time so lost all my songs. iTunes replaced some but claims 'Little Sparrow' by Cook is no longer available. Help! This was my FAVORITE!

  • @annyosh You'll be able to retrieve it from Apple's iCloud soon (assuming you purchased it previously).

  • i was looking for mindy smith's little sparrow. Who ate it?

  • I am totally inlove with his voice!

  • The acapella end of this song is so beautiful. This guy is my favorite singer by far.

  • How adorable is he!!!

  • Comment removed

  • My god he's sexy.....

  • @heli1328 hahah MY GOD IS SEXY

  • Of all the songs he did on Idol, I wish this one had been released as a single, and to country -- kudos to David for arrangement and performance but also Dolly for writing such beautiful lyrics.

  • I hear you, this song would be GREAT on country radio. If it were released as a single, I'd download it.

  • Coooool. Video is also great.

  • I'm a metal head,

    i dont like songs like this,

    but this is different,

    now it's my favorite song.

  • @Driv3r14 same here !

  • 3:00

    wow...

  • incredible!

  • Freaking great.

    And Dolly is simply a brilliant song writer.

  • The ending is so haunting and beautiful. His gorgeous voice stripped of all instruments give me goosebumps.

  • i dont like the Dolly parton one my self but this one rocks and rolls all day long

  • Never trust the hearts of man...

  • I honestly never listened to a Dolly Parton song - well guess I do now... Great arrangement and voice!

  • Dolly Parton is the Greatest songwriter in the world. God Bles her and David Cook, let's hope there is a duet is the works for the two of them.

  • a duet is a nice idea :X

  • he is like a drug to me, i can't stop listening to his voice

  • @talinutza - Exactly! And I can't stop looking into his eyes. They draw you in and make you feel like he is staring right at you and you alone.

  • @talinutza I know excactly how you feel. But I'm older.. His voice is addictive.

  • i really like all your vids. nice feel to them.

    and of course, i LOVEloveLOVE that hunk of gorgeousness called David Cook =]=]

    that voice breaks my heart everytime =D

  • can't stop to hear it over and over...

    very nice song and fit with his voice.

  • OMG I LOVE THIS SONG

  • SOOOO much better than the original!!!!  i cant stand the original, but i LOVE his version!!!!

  • nice version of this song.

  • I LOVE this song.. Can't stop hearing it.

  • cooks def not a bad singer. hes great. im not gonna lie, archie was my winner because rock really isnt my style. and i didnt like his little sparrow performance at all but the studio recording is a lot better! :)

  • he is one hunk of man meat

  • Very very nice "old school" video!

    Good job!

    And of course I love the Cookie ;)

  • one of the best songs that hes sang on the show

  • The Dolly Parton covers were among the best of the season.

  • HAHAHAhahahaha....

    ahem...

    HAHAHAHAHAHA...

  • Could he be more SEXY??!!??!!

  • lol...i agree

  • AWESOME

  • 0MFG...

    i think this is his greatest s0ng eva!!!

    Great v0caLs n very catchy...

  • great vocals on this, DC!

  • &hearts. hes amazing!!!!

  • I didn't quite know what to think of this in the live version, but the more I listen to the studio version, the more I love it. I have a feeling that it won't make the cut for his first post Idol album, but I'd be thrilled if he would one day do an entire album like this. I've always had a passion for folk songs, and this is a sweet and sorrowful tale sung masterfully.

  • ditto--can he do anything bad? I think not--

  • I agree

  • This is awesome! :)

  • &hearts

  • &hearts;

  • woah - at the end its just amazing.

  • u mean the ochopela

  • a capella?

    lol

  • u know wut i mean

  • i love this version too with its extended segment without accompaniment. His gravelly voice was enough to carry that section through .This man can do no wrong as far as my heart is concerned.Now that he is famous, I will still forgive him for false starts, falsettos, and unplanned falls.God be with David and his family. forever a fan

  • that look he gives at .56 seconds ... ahhh! melting.. david is amazing xx

  • oh my goddddd.

    i seriously just can't stop listening to this. he's so hot and talented. =D

  • he is my first husband!!!

  • he sounds really hot through the whole song but ESPECIALLY at the end

    :]

  • &heart

  • Oh gosh, I love &heart David Cook &heart. His smile is so cool. I'm so glad he won. I absolutely adore his voice and his style of rock!

  • <3<3<3<3<3<3

  • 3>3>3>3>3>3>

  • Shit! I was crying buckets after hearing this song! It was so haunting and sad........ David Cook really sings from the heart and the last part of this song was really heart wrenching, you could hear all the melancholy and sadness in Cook's voice... :-(

  • This song is so beautiful. I can't wait for his album.

  • me 2!!!

  • ????????????????

  • you forgot the ; after the &hearts.

  • &hearts

  • LOVE, LOVE, LOVE him

    I am totally smitten

  • how u make those hearts?

  • you type & hearts; but don't press the space bar between the & and the hearts;

  • Is there anything this guy can't do, and do better than anyone else?

  • ♥♥♥

  • I'm not even an Idol fan, and I absolutely can't wait to buy his music. The first time I heard a sample of him on the radio, I couldn't get to YouTube fast enough to hear mor. What a most incredible talent...his voice haunts...he has it all. Hope he goes farther than he ever imagined and enjoys the ride. Wow...what a gift. I'm an instant fan.

  • he is absolutely amazing. i love him.

  • He did such a great job on this. His voice is truly mesmorizing

  • Go DC

  • I also want to add that this video is wonderful. GREAT JOB!

  • Oh My! That was absolutely beautiful! Ok Ok I'm crying right now. This is the first time I've heard the studio version of this one and I must say it was incredible! DC nailed this one but in a much different way. I wish he could have done the complete version LIVE. Sooo touching and his voice was PERFECT! Who says this boy can't sing? I keep hearing this from the bashers and I just don't get it. Cookie you are quite the performer! DC CAN DO IT ALL AND DO IT SO WELL!

  • *tears of joy* His voice is amazing...this song is so emotional. Sorry Dolly but I think he has officially made the song his.

  • I totally agree he could definitely make an album out of the studio recordings. These recordings are so well made, i would absolutely but the album. He stayed true to himself no matter what and it all payed off.

  • america finally got it right.

  • I agree. David Cook was the best out of them ALL!

  • I can't stop listening to him either...HE IS WONDERFUL.

  • Shit he's too good. I can't stop listening to his songs.

  • Love DAVID COOK from the beginning

    Didnt  think he could get any better but hell that he did!!!!!LOL

    So glad He won AI

    Gladder He joined AI in the first place

    Cant imagine if HE didnt!

    Hell he could sell an album just by his Studio recordings and I would be one of the first one to buy it!

  • Epic.

  • He is so coooooooool. He makes me gigle

  • LOVE IT!! Greeting frm Singapore! SO GLAD HE WON!!!

  • Beautiful song sung by an amazing guy.

  • For the first time ever on AI there is a contender whose music I would actually buy - David Cook. He is amazing. The studio versions of his songs prove who is really the winner.

  • If David Cook was judge by the studio recording of all the songs he has done there would be no doubt he would win. He will win. He has what it take to be a Rock Star.

  • VOTE FOR dAVID cOOK!

    ~ cus im hungry like da Cook

    DAVID COOK FANS UNITE! VOTE LIKE CRAZY! TONIGHT'S FINALE

    it doesnt cost money btw

    David Cook got over 2 MILLION VIEWS on Bille Jean!!!!

  • Hello voyager017,now ko lang po nbasa reply mo.I'm Beverly from Olongapo City, 09289354420

  • Go David! you rock my world! (",

  • DA bad. DC. WONDERFUL!!

  • Rock the Vote for David Cook!!!

  • He is by the best ever on American Idol. I love him soooo much!

  • Cook made this song sound great.

  • Plzzzzzzzz vote For David Cook cause he deserves to win the title and each one of the judges said that even Randy stood up for him once and Paula did too but he won't make it without your votes so plzzzzzzz vote for him!!!!!

    Go David Cook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • David Cook is spectacular. The best out of all the AI shows. He is effortless.

  • and to think he wasn't even going to audition! HOLY FUCK

  • i know!

  • I think DA has an enormous amount of talent but doesnt have the charisma that DC has? Maybe its just me. I see David Cook selling out concerts, and selling millions. With DA i see little 12, 13, 14 year old girls screaming cuz he's "omg so cute" lol. or the old ladies wanting to pinch his cheeks. IDK i just look at DC and see a superstar. I look at DA and see someone fading out it little time.

  • totally agree with you there. DA does the same boring thing every week, and when the tweens get tired of Hannah Montanna, they'll go to DA, and when they get tired of him, maybe the next zac efron. DC all the way!

  • DA's crutch in American Idol is his Dad as the musical consultant and his vocal coach to correct his pitch problems. Once they are both gone out in the real world when he becomes an adult, who knows what Archuleta can do on his own.

  • Great! He has the best vocals of all of them.

  • OMG

    possibly the most amazing man alive.

  • has anyone noticed that everyone on here is saying the same frikken thing..we all know that David Cook will make it big if he wins or not..WE GOT IT ALREADY:]

    stop posting the same thing!!

  • Hmm I think he could win and be rich.

  • That's how the song goes.

  • voyager017 san k d2 sa Philippines?im bevs from olongapo city,im a huge david cook fan of course im also waiting for him to visit our country,hope we could meet.

  • he will! I AM SUCH A HUGE BELIEVER THAT HE WILL!

    haha, seryoso!

    but.. it might just be next year or next next year... C'MON AYALA! GET YOUR HANDS ON HIM ALREADY! XD

  • ako po?davidcookie20 dto po ako pasig city. from: voyager017

  • David Cook should win Idol...I vote every week....Keep him alive...Daughtry got voted off prematurely!!! Vote Vote Vote!!!!

  • he rocks!!!!! i hope one day he will be having a world tour.. and i'm looking forward in seeing here on my home country.. philippines

  • Every year it seems I say the same thing "It doesn't matter if DC wins or not". In fact it has almost become a jinx to win. Either way DC rules!!

  • I love this man. He is the greatest male contestant they have ever had.

  • David Cook rocks! rockers rulez

  • please vote for him no one like him has ever won. Kelly Clarkson; pop singer. Ruben Studdard; ballad singer. Fantasia Burino; ballad singer. Carrie Underwood; country singer. Taylor Hicks; who knows? Jordin Sparks; ballad singer. It's time for a rocker to win. The only people left that are ballad singers are Archuleta, Syesha, and Jason. David Cook is different vote for him don't not vote for him remember what happened to Micheal Johns and Carly Smithson and Chris Daughtry and Tamara Grey, etc.

  • well syesha isn't ballads but agreed David cook should win.

  • well its wat she does in general... or at least what she does most often which is what i am reffering to...

  • w0w... it w0ws me a lot... goodluck david.. rock on dawg...

  • oh my gosh the best out of the lot. vote for david cook. soo original and talented and amazingly good looking!

  • OMG! This studio version blows me away! Holy cow!! His voice is so sexy and unique and his smile makes my heart go pitter patter. Wow - this was better than the live performance. Cookie rocks! Best male Idol EVER!

  • Awesome! can feel the pure raw talent..I can't believe that there are still talents like this..SO RARE!! can't get enough.....

  • agree!! i cant understand y havent we heard of him before?!

  • His voice is sooooooooo sexy !!!!! +_+

    He deserves to win !!

  • ahhhh..i could just melt from the sound of his voice, *sighs**gasps*

    expecially from 3:00 and on!!

  • they should just call him the winner now

    and omg after 3:00 on is just wow wow wow

  • i love 0:26-0:30! he is sooooooooooooooo goddamn hot!!!!!!!!

  • I think AI producers learned their lesson with Daughtry. IMHO they will do whatever they can to see that David Cook wins. He has a much broader appeal than any of the other contestants. David Cook captures the attention of teenyboppers to grandmas, rockers to theatre goers. Not only does he have the talent to make ANY song his own but he has raw sex appeal, amazing vocal range and vocal style. And we haven't even seen all his talent. I'm waiting for the guitar solo....

  • yeah I love him

  • in a way I want him to win, but in a way I don't...I mean, I wanted Daughtry to win and look at him now...he's doing amazing and he won 4th place

    David Cook's a winner no matter what place he finishes^^

  • damn he's goooooood

  • at this point, even if he doesn't win it all, AI still owns him. The label that produces the winner's album also has first rights of refusal for the runnerups. Obviously, they are going to want to produce his album. So, I want him to win and get that first million to help him get on his way even faster. He'll be free of AI in time, and things will only get better after that.

  • Where are people getting the studio versions from????

  • Itunes.

  • ohh. thnxx

  • itunes

  • Regardless who wins idol, I think that being the runner-up is actually the best prize. Both the winner and runner-up get the same amount of air time, but the runner-up can choose whatever record label they want that will allow them to be as creative as they want. On the other hand the winner is stuck with the crappy record label associated with AI, and they always force the winner to put out a crappy first CD to make a quick buck at the expense of intellectual creativity.

  • the truth of this is he's out this week not because he's bad but because idol will hold him back for 1 whole year doing what they want not what he wants

    it happened to daughtry and it will happen to him so he can become the best and david archuleta will win the whole thing because he won't get as big as DC will without winning even though DC is better

  • You know what? If he ends up as the runner up to David Archuleta, it won't matter. He will blow DA's records out for sure. And lets face it, AI is more like a popularity contest (Syesha is great, but no one is voting for her. Too bad) and David C might not win, but it won't hurt him, it might be better actually.

  • He is so good. Its amazing. David archuletta was good,but he sings the same thing every week. Everyone call DC number every tuesday night, put it on speed dial and just keep calling

  • We'd never heard this song before - we don't listen to very many Dolly songs in our normal life - but now this version is one of our top favorite songs to listen to EVERY SINGLE DAY! Thanks and credit be to the powers of David Cook!

  • this song is always stuck in my head and i love the emotion he put in this. GO DAVID!

  • 真棒,我喜欢

  • 請支持他~~

  • This guy has already won! I do hope he wins but he doesn't have too. He's already made it, talent like that just can't be stopped. Just stay clean, be creative and stay away from drugs, it will ruin him. Good luck David

  • I really hope he wins!

  • for some reason at :13 david cook sorta looks like that one guy from FOB forgot who tho

  • Incredible voice and versatility!

  • My goodness... I love this guy... he is SO DAMN talented! Making the arrangement himself and making it this HOT!!!

    He and David Archuleta are just amazing (sorry, I had to mention Archuleta, he is just as amazing as Cook, but in his own way...)...

  • The acapeella at the end is simply gorgeous. This song sounds like something that will fit a moviesoundtrack ;)

  • AI winner!!!

  • I love the video. It is great to hear the studio version and you do a great job making the video.

  • His studio version of Innocent is incredible - maybe his best studio song to date. I can't get it out of my head!!

  • This is beautiful!! I love his voice. I will buy is next CD. I have enjoyed Analog Heart, there's not a bad song in the bunch. 3 or 4 of the songs are radio ready, if not more.

  • OMFG SOOO DAMNNN GOOOD

  • wow... this is amazing.

    I love the crap out of his voice!!!
