David Cook - Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

[mainedcfan2]

I LOVE his voice! Beautifully done....Merry Christmas, David Cook!!

[villasoliman]

MERRY CHRISTMAS, Everyone!

[LukeZmith]

grr what chords is he using???

[melbabebo]

Love this rendition. Warms my heart!

[rachaeltennon]

very entertaining

[TheNatedoggx]

I don't particularly enjoy his interpretation of this song. I like it more jazz/bluesy with perhaps some sax in there, and brushes on the drums.

[IceBoxInYaHeart]

I LOVE David Cook, he did an amazing job!

[10sjk]

Wow he's hot as hell..I'd die if he sang to me

[6Scythe]

HEY....just enjoy the music...its wonderful music...Just Listen And Enjoy....Music Isnt Meant to Be Hated On...Its Meant To Be Enjoyed...

[growcoconut]

This guy does not have business singing Christmas songs,he sounds horrible

he killedddd the song.

[mrsbieber101jonasify]

this is my fav christmas song, so touching.

i will watch all the covers of other singers.. :)

[mysteriousnumb]

WOW! amazing version!

[bluethebombdiggity]

merry christmas everyone :D

[mainedcfan1]

David's voice is amazing and I love his rendition of this song! For those that were asking about new music from him, he's got a new album coming out in early 2011!! I, for one, can't wait!!!

[tomlehrerlover]

*skips to 0:40 and repeats over and over*

This almost makes me tear up. I love you, DC... have YOURself a merry little christmas.

[hermes2905]

this eery i was just looking at my son photo called david cooke who died last year at 27 and the radio was playing this song so went on you tube as i like this song nd this appeared thank i'm crying tears of sadness and well

[Robert19850]

Great rendition of a favorite Christmas song. His voice is compellng to listen to.

[bamzs]

Love him.

[sayone5]

Amazing, simply amazing. I could just listen to him sing forever.

[FreakToBe]

He just has the prettiest voice...

[shoegal423]

amazing..gives me shivers

[MESOLINK]

absolutely different from david archuleta's version! Archie's one is so passionate and this one is joyful! I love both versions <3<3

[NikolaMusic1]

Very nice rendition. You can also check my profile for a video of me singing it live. I love this song. Merry Christmas :) hohoho

[thankGodforDavidG]

Happy Holidays David Cook.

[charizardag]

this is so great. how come he hasn't made a new CD is so long?

[OCgirliechick]

I came back this year to hear David sing me a little Christmas music <3

[MsHeather33]

Love this performance so much! **GOOSEBUMPS** even after 2 years!

[Incipit9]

David's beautiful acoustic version of this song reflects the spirit of the season - loved it in 2008, still love it now. Excellent to listen to and watch again for Christmas 2010, and beyond.

[need4dc]

Love this! Way to put me in the holiday spirit, David. :) As far as this whole David v. David stuff goes, we all need to give it a rest. So there are Cook haters out there, that's fine. They don't know what they're missing out on. Cook has always said "Whether you're pleasing everyone or pissing everyone off, you're doing something wrong". This is a Christmas song, people. Try to enjoy and let it the music and lyrics inspire you to be gracious and generous this time of year.

[DayanaArchuletafan]

He Rocks!!! love this song and love him <3

[KellyAna414]

i still love him so much, he can sing anything & it sounds amazing! :)

[ek27ek]

HOSTS ......................SHAT THE PAK AP!

[fullyCOOKed]

Wow, lots of ignorant comments on this vid. While I believe everyone is entitled to their opinion, why do some people spend so much time spewing negativity. If you think all your bullshit is going to discourage the Cook fandom, you're wrong. Our admiration for David is deeply rooted and will not waiver. Please make better use of your time to go watch vids of people you like and support them with your positive comments.

[sengkar1]

I think David Cook is a true and deserving american idol!

His style is all his own, unique, unapologetic - and always just a refreshing break from the usual... Keep the music coming David Cook!

[BrandonHell93]

Screw Obama. Damn these idiots are all over his ass. It's sickening.. I like david cook though

[davebianca]

Cook and Archuleta the best American idol contestants ever... If they auditioned in different seasons I bet both of them have a title of American Idol. I love both and always be, i have all their albums, rock and ballad, two different flavors but amazingly mixed together in my taste to become absolutely delicious...

[rokerzeez]

for me archie is better...sorry cook

[amydixycook]

no way..,

Cook is much much greater than your loser Archie..!

I'm sorry rockerzeez...,

no offense..,

it's my opinion..,

[ibelieveintomorrow]

Cook can beat high notes & he also can sing ballad song so great like others !

Archuleta is pretty good but he never better than Cook, Cook is the best. He has amazing voice <3

If Archuleta can kill ROCK song/voice like Cook i think he will be another level

PS : I ike both David, they're talent & i have no againts with Archie. But easy to chose is DAVID COOK all the ways & by far miles !

Cook, one of most beautiful voice ever ... Love love love :))

[lovecook17]

very nice david cook!!!you rocked that version....i loved it!!!!i have to watch it every christmas from now on!!!!

[virtueisin]

David Archuleta and David Cook are both great singers. They have their own personalities, style, and sound. The world is big enough for oodles of singers. If two YouTubers have such contentions about the two singers, perhaps a better place to write each other would be messaging each other directly. If fans of the two Davids got together and supported each other, can you imagine what a force we'd be?!!

[lesliejay09]

Beautiful! I loved seeing this again this year, he has such a beautiful voice. Merry Christmas!

[NyCArole426]

Merry Christmas David!!! And to ALL!

[1goodworld]

Merry Christmas...and respect for everyone !!!!

[JamesPadfoot]

Wow people are still up in arms about the David versus David thing? LOL, SORRY ABOUT YOUR LIVES and have a merry christmas.

[totallymaybe]

Have yourselves a Merry Little Christmas!!!

[Sakura52296]

And a natural actor. He's human and has feelings. He won't let on how he truly feels

about the rigged votes. He's classy and the big brother thing is definitely a hype for sure.Mentor! haha - Mentor of what! I think it's the other way around. Cook can learn alot from David.

[frozenatseventeen]

Suckers. Why compare both of them when their genres are very different? Archie is a pop balladeer while Cook is a rocker. So how do you hell compare them when they sing different things?

[shemanmegatron]

The David vs David shit is still going on? Seriously, David Cook has a beautiful voice. He deserved this.

[shemanmegatron]

dffdopjtujtrsgs. Thank you.

[montreatwolf]

really? we are really still having these fan wars? I'm just gonna say to both sides...really grow up! The Davids are friends and act like brothers so why should fans be so testy and agrue about which one is the best??? I like Cook and Archie..their voices and styles are almost too different to even compare to each other so why can't we just leave it at that? both sides are making archie and cook fans look awful...

merry christmas

[GokWansonofObiWan]

pretty good makes me miss someone special to me very much

[mimi0boo]

i missed this last year... love it!

[hpnhpluv]

David in that scarf! *swoon*

[Sakura52296]

You know I have to disagree with you. For one, yeah, David is an incredible "singer"

Mr. Cook? well, he does have a good scream. Archuleta has always been a natural performer since he was like ten? It's just that in my opinion he was so controlled by AI it was known he had no

freedom to express his talent to the max.

I mean anyone can get on stage and scream until your windows break. David

always gets along with everyone. Cook, I find extremely self centered. Could be the drinking you know?

[MandaOnFire89]

Like him or not, Cook does have talent. If he didn't, Randy and Simon, who probably know more about music than you ever will, wouldn't have agreed to send him through. Also, how is Cook self-centered? He has devoted so much of himself to raising awareness for cancer, and funds for research. He doesn't have to do those sorts of things, he doesn't have to reach out to people like he does. Again...how is he self-centered?

[Sakura52296]

Well, for one don't let the judges fool you

to believing that it's their call.. It's not! It' the

guys from Freemantle and Simon. No matter how many votes. They call the shots and rig votes to control for the win. Cook is just that way. He is an attention seeker regardless how he gets its.

[MandaOnFire89]

I feel sorry for you. It must suck to be such a pessimist and to be so judgmental of a man you have probably never even met, especially at this time of the year, when we should put aside our differences and embrace one another. Did it ever occur to you that he works so hard to raise this awareness and money because his brother had brain cancer and recently died? That he genuinely cares? Obviously it didn't, if you say he does those things to get attention.

[Sakura52296]

That's right I said it, Cook loves attention

and does not like it when someone get in his way meaning Archuleta.And yeah I've met him. It's a good thing what he did for his brother. It's expected. David does lots of charity work but he does not boast about it for media attention you know? David is truly humble you know. So don't feel sorry for me but thanks for your consideration. Feel sorry for Mr. Cook he seems to react with an insecurity. And I AM an optimist with my opinions. It's cool.

[MandaOnFire89]

it's not boasting for media attention when you tell people that they should pay attention and give. It's called philanthropy.

[Sakura52296]

Definitely a mistake, why is Cook on David's

Christmas page. Please take it out.You know It's disruptive to Davids video page.

[Sakura52296]

OMG there goes the windows! Alright cook this is not a bar room song. Monkey see monkey do. Always trying to copy the Archuleta you know? So when are you able to stand on your own? Without the

coat tails of David Archuleta?

[MandaOnFire89]

One more thing I feel I should point out....Cook is hardly riding Archie's coat tails....he won Idol by a landslide, his record went platinum in three months, and he spent 9 months headlining a tour that sold out many of its venues. Archuleta came in second, his album has NOT gone platinum and it's been out for over a year, and he played second banana to Demi Lovato. I love Archie, I really do...but David Cook is not riding that boy's coat tails.

[Sakura52296]

Yeah a "rigged" landslide. Archuleta's album didn't go platinum because Fremantle/Jive/Idol, didn't want it to. If they let the DA out of the cage, how do you think they'd explain the insignificance of their boy Cook? It's all political you know? Lovato? It was apparent that she "closed" for David. Cook tends to use Archie's name so much especially in concert just to keep him identified. Truth is Idol got it wrong with Cook and they have to promote Cook more and low key with David.

[MandaOnFire89]

lol, and regardless of whether she "closed" for David or not, she was still the headlining act, not Archie, which still makes him second banana. Sorry. Oh, and have yourself a merry little Christmas. :)

[Sakura52296]

Lovato's audience is for little girls. David's

concert was the headlining act. It was obvious that without David's fans Demi's

[Sakura52296]

No need to apologize, David is King and second banana, Ha, Your delirious.

No one can come close to

The David' talents. Idol is so over. Of course your hardcore cook fan yeah? All of his fans seem to have that demeanor. Sad for you guys. Lovato is simply mediocre talent. The Disney gang all have the same style of singing if you can call it that. It's so annoying. Anyway I'm off to have myself a merry little Christmas yeah? So, that's all folks!

[Sakura52296]

@MandaOnFire89 - Sorry, no such thing as a landslide. More of a riggedslide! Season seven was rigged for the sake of politics. Idol now paying for it's consequences. It appears that David's career is closely controlled by 19 entertainment who is connected with Jive. Limiting promotion, sales, career and platinum. For the sake of keeping Cook's winner appearance fresh Demi just needed someone's popularity for bait to gain her career. Sad, very sad for sweet David.

[MandaOnFire89]

@Sakura52296 lol, wow, way to try and bring the whole thing back up months later. I must say, you are as delusional as you are bitter. :)

[Sakura52296]

@MandaOnFire89 It has nothing to do with being delusional or bitter my friend. Obviously your just not able to comprehend fact and truth. And, oh well! You really

should be viewing Cook's videos. I'm sure he would appreciate you.

[kcdshg]

@Sakura52296 You really are full of shit. Just because whoever you wanted to win didn't win doesn't mean it was rigged. The fact is that David Cook is incredibly successful and has a very loyal fanbase. If you are an Archie fan, just realize that, although Archie has had some successful singles, his album still hasn't sold a million copies (thought it is close) while David Cook's sold > a million in 3 months. Get over yourself, jackass.

[coolidge909]

I don't know how much of this your tiny little Archtard brain can comprehend but Cook is not trying to copy Archie. This is the Rockefeller tree lighting event from LAST YEAR, way before Archie came out with his Xmas album. And honey this is a Christmas song. Anybody has the right to sing this. If anything all those people who've ever sang this are "copying" Judy Garland. David Cook is an amazing singer an even more amazing person, you'll realise it if you open your ears and eyes once in a while

[Sakura52296]

Ah, the cook fans, you're surely representing him well. What is "amazing" about his screaming? Anyway, That's all folks!

[Love36214]

That is the most most creative excuse for Archuleta's lack of sales I have seen in a long time. Sales are sales (or lack thereof in this case). Also, out of 154 concerts, Archie was probably mentioned 10 or 15 times aside from their joint concert. You simply need to get over this conspiracy theory of yours and accept reality. And dang it, this is a Christmas performance, not a platform for your Cook hatred. Go listen to Archie's Christmas cd instead.

[MandaOnFire89]

Funny, I was about to say the same about you. Do you really think Archie wants to be represented by people who trash a person he is obviously friends with and likely looks up to as a brother? I'd like to think that both Davids are better people than that, especially David Archuleta. If anyone is poorly representing anyone, it is surely you. Also, your conspiracy theories lack any credibility. Show me the facts that prove all that you say is true. You can't, because none of it is factual.

[Sakura52296]

Okay, the brother thing is nothing but hype

How can David look up to someone who frequents the bars? David doesn't do stuff

like that so end of story. Yeah, I don't represent David I support him and yeah, I have my own opinions to. So it's cool.

As far as conspiracy. You'll see one day.

the hidden will be revealed as promised.

[LiLIrishChick63]

rofl what is this??

wow so apparently anyone who goes to bars is a "bad person"?? hate to break it to you sweetie, but 90% of the world are bad people then.

"rigged votes"...yeah...whatever helps you sleep at night hun!

Have a Merry Christmas, while you're at it!

[Sakura52296]

@MandaOnFire89 Facts? Just for the record Cook fan, didn't mean to sound like I have trashed anyone. It's just the facts. All you have to do is keep your ears and eyes opened and be attentive and you'll see. And David, great actor he is. He knows... how to play the game. Okay, era-ase, don't want to talk about Cook. Byeee.

[fanvoid]

ahem.. david a's merry little christmas is the only song in his album that is solely made just for duet and pls. dont bring him here when you're talking about david c. okay they are entirely different, so i guess its unfair for david a. to be scrutinized just because he did a duet. gosh!!!! you guys really wanted a fight... i like them both so stop......

[WarriorofChaos20]

anyone know of tabs for Cook's version of this?

[DARKmirror70]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.

[XoKibasMineXo]

i loveee his voice! and he should have a christmas album! I WOULD BUY IT!

[DaughtryGirl8]

i think david should come out with a christmas album it would be sooo awesome.

[charizardag]

I agree :)

[PeteWentzchic]

This man NEEDS a Christmas album!!!!

[babususu]

I TOTALLY agree

[checkerbordom]

@PeteWentzchic I read your comment before I watched the video, and after. And I have to say, I now fully agree.

[dapanac]

i think you're the boring one.... if you mean david archuleta.. i can say that his version is also nice but as you could see david cook's live version is an accoustic version but david a. did it with many musical accompaniments plus it's a duet with charice... and even i... was disapointed in david a.'s version... it's not what i expect..

[LightOnForCookie]

He can sing anything! love his husky voice.

[bejayful]

Love it! Hope to see you sing again a Merry Christmas song this coming December!

[sammy25871]

He adds something special to my favorite christmas song<3:)

[lilybianca]

im singing this in chorus, and i LOVE the harmony!!!

[bronx43]

55 million votes probably came from 7 million people.

[AnatloyChessPlayer]

Can we like start a petition for David to do a Christmas album!!!

[sammy25871]

He sounds really good singing this song:) and he's still lookin good<3

[allel26]

you just screwed this wonderful song.

[guitargirl325]

sometimes i forget just how much i love this guy.

can't believe this was almost a year ago..

[CookieLove1983]

my favorite Christmas song! Hard to believe this was almost a year ago!

[azehrine]

......

(speechless)

[roxie3212]

oh my gosh! David even rocks at singing Christmas songs! I can't wait to hear the CookWood special 12/7 :)

[bobbibear23]

I met david cook and he is the coolest most down to earth guy you will ever meet!

[yecaps25]

He needs to have his own Christmas Album.

[cookhasmyheart]

he is handsom everywhere!

[justwannahavfun19]

he's REALLY handsome in this video!

[ktissme]

I wanna David Cook christmas cd!

[mjndcluver16]

does anyone know if neil sings also?(the other guy singing!)

[pinkpassion87]

I don't know if you ever found the answer, but Neal sings backup. I've never actually heard him sing alone... But I love just watching him play his guitar. It's amazing!! I met him last month & he's also a very nice guy. =)

[mjndcluver16]

i love david cook he is so amazing!I went to his concert on FEb 21st.....the show is NOT the same without him!I always think this season whens david cook gonna come on but then he doesnt.....=( i wish he did though!He will be preforming on top 11 or top 12 week so im am excited for that!He is just like so amazing i cant even put it into words!

[m4mcook]

I love david! He can sing ANYTHING! American Idol will never be the same without you! And I wonder if season 8 will even compare.

[rncoco]

He is so good. I can't imagine how AI will survive without him this season either. This guy is going to just keep getting better and better.

[harrill04]

David.. this is simply incredible.. leaves me speechless. American Idol will never be the same without you!

[fredriksverden]

i was there. and his voice gave me the shivers. i love this guy.

[mileyandmari]

i blame my mom for missing this show

[CookieChaceMonster1]

dont be rude ur mom works hard for u everyday cool ur jets

[raikage90]

lol at the obama comparison

[alycat0130]

Archie and Cook are both awesome!

I like Archie's voice better but I like both of them as a person equally.

And who cares if Archie didn't win AI.

You don't have to win to get famous.

I mean look at Chris Daughtry!

So I agree Archie fans stop bashing Cook and Cook fans stop bashing Archie!

[iheartdrwho]

that was REALLY good! Im impressed!

[rocketrun87]

yea 4real. i think we all know that both of them can sing. quit hating!!

[coolnerdx3]

american idol was 7 months ago, cook won, both of them relesed CDs and both of them are having soaring careers. i don't see why these kids can't get over him losing the title

[sox0533]

David can sing!!! (of course we already knew that!!!) That was awesome...and the Doctor on guitar...he is so talented!!!

[emug747]

Merry Christmas to you all!!!

David Cook is amazing!

[theX80sXruleX]

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

 and david cook rocks.

nuff said

[twilightaddict4ever]

wow i love his voice! he blows me away every single time i hear him sing!

and archie lovers please stop bashing cook! yes, archie is a great singer, but he lost... get over it! cook has an amazing voice and you're tone deaf if you can't tell

[sourpatchkid249]

ooooh archie lover much?

Sorry, but just cuz ur mad that archie lost doesnt mean you have to go bashing cook...thats kinda immature...

[doggybone1234]

OMG this is amazing! I <3 this song! And David Cook! I'm glad he won American Idol. He was my fav!

[u8myapple]

blueyesand, you are soooo mad that Cook won over Archuleta. I don't think you will ever get over it. You did notice that Cook's CD went GOLD at only 4 weeks? Soon it will be platinum with no help from you.

Cook's rendition of Happy Christmas was awesome as well as this song. Let me see, blueyesand, do you mean to get a real man like Archie? I think you have personal problems.

[DavidCookIsAllThat]

WOW, he is so great. Love this song. Very moving rendition. I really wish he had released this as a single.

[Lollapalooza7]

*Siiiiiiggggghhhhh* This just made my day. We love you SO much, David! <3

[wsjzzz]

nice

[5ivewestlifefan18]

I love his voice.

[hcallahan44]

the dude can sing the phonebook

[Davidmecookie]

TRUE DAT!

[goodconversation]

sexy can I?

[cittaontube]

wow..so great..

i think he can make christmas song album..

haha...

^^

[cheng0613]

AMAZING!!! :)

[jaylynnnnnn]

i was there, he was amazing. and everyone looks like "wankers" cause it was lke 35 degrees and most of us were standing there since like 12 that afternoon.

[Bytefiend]

I didn't see this one on the show that night.

[1113Bella1113]

This wasnt on the national brodcast, was it ? hmmm this is really good his vocals are amazing as always

[noname6684]

Gosh I love him singing this so much !

[cxhopkin]

Just fabulous! :) Never disappointed in the man...never...

[ShelbyLynnSchleuning]

lol I don't know where I missed this..but apparently I did cuz I only heard one song

[livehead16]

this song only aired in NYC. the national broadcast only had "happy xmas". :)

[ShelbyLynnSchleuning]

oh...lol right on!!

[beckylink]

This shows off his astonishingly pure, excellent, free vibrato and superior dramatic tenor voice. He is more AMAZING than many out there really realize, especially the "critics".

This boy is a BRILLIANT singer. We aren't all just duped out here - he is, and was during AI, THAT good, to warrant all the passionate voting!!!

[MontyGail]

he's great....the people in the crowd look like total wankers, though.

[jasminlaguerta]

He has cold while singing this song but still he has a beautiful voice. I wish David will put out a XMas Album next year please David.

[phatfatgurl]

wow, this man is so talented, i'm so glad i voted for him.

[reinharv]

OMG I wish he would put out a XMas album. With those vocals of his...WOW.

[livnbhindtheseiz]

singing like that with a bad chest cold is amazing in itsself

[hott4lukas]

he's beautiful !!!

[GeorgiaPat]

Thanks for posting. I missed it last night, and couldn't easily find it on the NBC web site.

[genkigirlvc]

Just one smile, David! You CAN do it!!

[calebstacks]

thanks for posting. I didn't get to watch it on tv :(
