David Cook - Billie Jean in September 2008 in Evansville, IN

[Th2342000]

Chris Cornell - Billie jean (acoustic live) YOUTUBE THAT

[2jean6]

David Cook tweaked Chris Cornell's arrangement of this song by Michael Jackson and made it better, if not the best cover of Billie Jean yet. Vocals, phrasing and delivery are astounding! Am actually having goosebumps right now!

[apostolosdecristo]

the best,tank you david cook!

[GREEKCOOKIE2]

hottest,sexiest performance EVER...mkes me wanna smoke a sig and i dont smoke..omfg...

[NyCArole426]

Awesome !

[raechelina77]

CHRIS CORNELL ARRANGED THIS SUPERB. COOK DID IT BETTER. NOW THAT MJ IS NOMORE, THIS MAKES EVERYTHING SO MELANCHOLIC,BEAUTIFUL AS MJ WALKEDAWAY ALONE FADING BACK INTO THE SKY.

[Robertfrostistheansr]

I love how he keeps throwing the picks to the crowd lol

[troubleswipp]

I like how he holds the mic...I love how he moves when he plays the guitar...actually, y like his arms....but most of all, adore his voice.

[oneonetwosix1126]

I still can not bring myself to listen to DC...I will never think he was the legitimate winner of AI....

[troubleswipp]

his voice hipnotizes me....

[tess614]

Amazing video!

[sharapova4eva]

Wow! Amazing performance! David Cook is definitely the best male Idol contestant EVER. And my how hot he looks in this video phwoar! <3

[raechelina77]

@sharapova4eva EVER is an infinite word, so please use it sparingly unless you have seen-heard them all. Chris Cornell, arranged it 2007 ? Davis just sings it better. The arrangement is the base here,so..... EVER....?

[pweller5]

I STILL love this!

[theblanksaidhi48316]

[SUPERBWON]

57VARMIT is a pole smoker!

[SUPERBWON]

luvablegurl89 your youtube name even says gurl in it. You are a little girl. A grown up would not spell girl that way. only a kid. SO I am right. Also like I said. This guy "SUCKS". Awful job on this song. That is why he never made it on a play list on any radio station . HE SUCKS!

[57VARMIT]

He's got 2 gold albums! How many do you have! It's all over youtube you know nothing about music! So keep your mouth shut until you learn something about music and learn about interpetation!

[goliathksu]

@SUPERBWON

[joessj5]

[SUPERBWON]

Guitardude, I think your a guitarqueer....The teen chicks and the queers are who voted this sad ass performer a win! So witch one are you? His singing "SUCKS".

[luvablegurl89]

well im not a teen chick, and im not a queer, and I voted for him. I bought his amazing cd, went to 2 of his concerts, and he was amazing.

[takergirl]

Holy crow...I forgot how beautiful this song comes out wihen he's singng it!! I'd love to see him live...

[SUPERBWON]

[Guitardude8794]

[JimisSweetAngel]

Amazing video!! I love him and the song... I love MJ's version of this song too but I can actually understand what David's singing this version. <3

[sblxi]

[hezi9]

o.m.g

[adeelies]

I think he should have lost the wallet chains, but good performance

[Chief58fan]

OMG!!!!! This is so mesmerizing. The closeups are jaw-dropping. I damn near dropped my speaker next to my ear. My hands are still shaking. (I would love to have baby with David's eyes.) He is SOOOOOOO GOOD. Saw him in KC (4-22-09) & it's EMBEDDED in my mind. EVERYBODY should see him in concert. Amazing video. Amazing performer.

I was at this show, directly to his left standing at the catwalk. Great performance.

[jeannemo49]

This is remarkable!! Where has it been hiding? I play it at least oncea day, and have a rainbow of emotions. Somebody said they need CPR after viewing - how true, how true!! DC will be around a long, long time.

[paradizebay]

this is amazing... really hoping Hello done this way surfaces, I've always wanted a hq recording of the full-length version...

[mis2nenaslindas]

I think I need CPR right now!!!!

This was freaking AWESOME!!!!!

I've watched his performances from the secod leg of the tour and have never seen him doing that backbending thing. That's hot!

[MrCookRocks]

OMG!!!! This is sooooo amazing. Thank you so much for sharing....I absolutly LOVE IT!!!!!!

[KyockLee123]

It's good, but just not my style.

[doedaphna]

where did thid came from?

i didnt know the idol tour is being filmed and recorded profetinlly... i wonder what else they have been hiding :)

[venusgirl926]

Great video...cool effects and very eery watching it this week! : ) MJ would be very proud! Thanks '09Declaration' for the best live concert footage I've seen on here.

[DCsGlory]

Thank you. This is so beautifully and professionally recorded.

Mmm, if someone had access to secret stash of pro videos, I wonder if there's a chance the Billie Jean from Providence and the Hello from Manchester might somehow make it on to Youtube? We would all love that person for it, I promise.

[IIdolizeDavidCook]

ABSOLUTELY FREAKIN FANTASTIC !!!!!

[IIdolizeDavidCook]

PS.. More , More , More ... can you do this with some of the other AI tour performances ... ya know like all of them ? Just sayin ......
