When DC was on Idol, I found this cover on limewire and downloaded it. Best decision ever. I love it so much...definitely on my list of favorite songs. Don't get me wrong, Radiohead was great back in the day. But this version just speaks to me. It's the passion he puts into it, and he makes you really feel those lyrics.
Wow, David's voice is so powerful and amazing! I love his cover of this! I like the Radiohead version, too. I like their version, but I'm definitely partial to David's voice. This is certainly no contest between the two, though. Both versions are great; it's just some people are more fans of one version than the other.
David Cook > you have a perfect voice, perfect heart & soul. You can really sing this song, David has the vulnerability to put his emotions into the words and make you feel what he is singing.
David and Andrew sound so much alike when they talk sometimes. "...Fine. I'm not even gonna tell you what it is now. You guys are just gonna have to guess." I think Andrew even used this same line on his radio show, minus the colorful language. Love those Cook brothers!
Would LOVE to hear him play this in concert now; but doubt he would...he does curse every now and again, but I think he's sensitive to the fact that there are some underage kids in the audience. When I saw him in Alexandria, VA last year his niece, nephew, sister-in-law and dad were there, and he was on his BEST behavior, lol!
i thinks this rocks and he sounds like let me say intoxicated but it is weird hearing him cuss bc he doesnt like ever but its a good song and i like and its different than wat he usually does :]
I love this song. And I do have to agree its weird to hear David Cook swearing... but its okay because there is no way that I will ever not like LOVE his voice cause he has SO much talent! ^_^
This was from a time when David didn't really sing with his "own" voice. I call this his Creed/Stapp voice. So, vocally he sounds great/talented/vocally gifted, etc., but I don't get that he's really connecting with the underlying meaning of the lyrics. One of his band members says they won't be doing this song anymore in concerts (i.e., their era of covering this song is done). That said, I'd like to hear him cover this now that he's found his "own" voice and knows who he is as an artist.
i think the great thing about songs and lyrics is they can be interpreted many ways. Songwriters know this. I prefer this interpretation. It's sexy and gritty. And amazing vocal performance.
Just an average night in an average bar in the midwest with a band of broke musicians playing with the only gear they can afford, recorded for posterity by some lucky genius. THANK YOU!!!!
Here's another vote for DAVID! So much better than Radiohead. Grittier, sexier, deep emotional voice. There is no end to his broad range of musical talent. Wish they would play this on tour, but there's probably a "legal" reason why they can't.
i love this cover but i think its better they don't do it on tour cuz it could be a crowd killer cuz david cook and radiohead are two totally different types of music
well, it's not a crowd killer......they've been playing MitB and it's been a huge hit on the tour. I think Creep would be a hit too......but they're not playing it right now. I would give a lot to hear him sing it live.
No need to hate. I respect your opinion even though I disagree with it. If you read some of the other posts, you will see that many people prefer David's version of this song. It's called an opinion. You might want to check out Analog Heart and Axium.
Yeah, i personally like the Radiohead version better but i just really dont think David Cook's voice works with the song...but your right it's only an opinion
Better than the original. This guy has amazing vocals. He is a ROCKSTAR! That is why his record is already platinum.Gives me chills every time I listen!
I dont like anyone who covers Radiohead just because it's radiohead, and you will never be as good as them, but his voice is ok. I wish he hadn't done it, but i'm glad he didn't fuck it up as bad as some people have.
because of this cover by David cook , I went out and bought Radiohead's CD . I still think david Cook did a greater cover- his voice soars with emotion . Some commentors say radiohead sings this sleepily . I agree. I will continue to view this video daily until David cook puts out a CD with Creep in it. Anyway, I love "No surprises" by Radiohead so it was not a big loss when I bought their CD.

I like David Cook, but this kinda sounds like he's trying to be Eddie Vedder or something. Give him credit for not editing it, but I don't know..he's no Thom Yorke, I guess.
Why does everyone make it seem like this is a contest between Radiohead and David Cook? It's not. He did a COVER. He never claimed that he was better than the original, or anything like that. Both versions are great. I like Axium's version more, but that's because I'm biased.
God, this version gives me goosebumps! Absolutely love how he changed the ending, gave it a much better closing. And I die when he hits that long, high note at the end.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I dont like this version, i thought i would check it out because i heard he did a cover. His voice seems to slur too much, so you dont actually understand whats being said. I like how Radiohead made this song like a sleepy stoner song.
Never heard this song by Radiohead, although I know it is their song. David Cook's version is pretty amazing. I love his voice and how much passion he puts into everything he sings. He was fantastic in person this past summer and I can't wait to see him and his new band this spring. He's the only performer I would fly somewhere to see and feel like it was absolutely money well spent. He is funny, talented, and a natural born performer. Love him.

last year, two of my artistically challenged friends used the word 'brilliant' to describe this guy. it seemed silly but i didn't know thenjust how much he's a marginal singer without an original bone in his body. now i do. but at least there are the jerks among you who cun't even bother commenting on the song because you're so wrapped up in your jesus land nonsense that the word f*ck gets your old panties up in a wad. that's good for a laugh too. enjoy the new season of idol, you creeps.
Have you listened to the Radiohead original? That off-beat was a part of the song. Not really sure why but it was.
Oh, and the language was they way the song was written. He just switched around "I wish I was special" and "You're so f'ing special" in the first verse (it is correct for the other verses) and revised the "she runs out" part to strictly "run"s.
I found the Radiohead version to be very sleepy for lack of a better word. Loved DC's version.
Actually, this is one of my favorite songs. I love it, play it over and over again blasting as high as it goes! His vocal range is unbelievable--great cover of Radiohead's Creep.
Man, this is just what won David the AI title. He took a slightly popish song and ROCKED IT!!!! He didn't just do this for the show but has been doing it for years. This IS vintage David Cook.
I'd never heard of Radiohead before. Now their album is nominated for a Grammy.David Cook's vocals are even better than Radiohead's at least in this song. Go COOKIE
Now that's just sad... it pains me when people get familiar with some amazing songs/bands through AI, that's just wrong. Go buy "OK Computer", "The Bends", or said Grammy nominee ("In Rainbows")... and try to understand that Thom Yorke and band are resposible 100% for those songs... the vocals will suddenly seem less important.
every singer has his own distinctive way. I happen to like David Cook's cover.His amazing soaring voice at 2:30to 3:06 trumps Radiohead's singer. It is repeated at 3:52 so his cover is twice as great.
this guy has the sound and edge of Hootie and the blowfish. David do not cover a good song ever again. You will seem like better artist to fans dumb enough to listen to you.
Axium's version is so much better than the original. And all those high notes that David hits...holy crap. And don't get me started on how hot he sounds when he curses.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
hmmmm..... he kinda ruined the vocals, not how he sang but with the messing up of the vowls, err something like that. i like radiohead version better.
It's the eighteenth, but he will be performing for the first time with his band on SNL on Nov. 1st and his video should be coming out soon for Light On
Had to get my fix. Somehow this disappeared off my iPod. I get chills when he says your so fucking special and when he hits those beautiful high notes.
there was a girl named emily ive argued alot with my father and oine day my dad came home pissed because he lost his job and he stabbed me in the neck then threw me in a well now im trying to haunt him but i cant? find him so im hoping u can help me find him post this onto 10 videos or ill be waiting at the edge of your bed waiting until u go to sleep...a kid thought this was dumb but the next day his parents found there son dead in the bathtub with the neck slit open drowned..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I don't cuss myself, but it's pretty funny when he was like "fcuk you" because he was saying it as a joke. But, I like David Archuleta better in my opinion.
Played XBos rock Band in Best Buy with my son tonight (him guitar, me drums)and of COURSE picked Radiohead's version of this. David IMO is sooo much better! Much more interesting vocally, plus I kept hearing the F-word in my head! Love Ya Coook!!!
Very impressive. Totally different feel from the original...more ballsy. I prefer the high notes here, in the male register. But both versions are great.
not better than original but still pretty good. i liked some parts better than original but still overall original is better and i am more of a cook fan then radiohead
lizzuneverknow you r so right...boo hoO he said the f word...r u kidding me? This guy won for a reason. I am sorry he is not bubble gum pink...He Is For real!
This was sung 4 years ago in 2004...he was 21 years old...what were u doing when u where 21??? Potty mouth??,THis is offensive?? have u watched the f'g news lately?? Living in this world if offensive. This beautiful song offends you?? Get a life!!!Anyone who thinks that they can contribue more to society should stop watching you tube and get off their ass, like David Cook, and make something of themselves - has everyone gone insane?? STUPID ignorant babies.....

this guy has the sound and edge of Hootie and the blowfish. David do not cover a good song ever again. You will seem like better artist to fans dumb enough to listen to you.

OMG. Love the potty mouth, David! Just makes me get all tingly. This song is better than Radiohead's version (and I loved theirs, then).

Once again, his voice is pure brilliance. Amazing. This guy one of the best voices to come along in years.

I never get sick of this song.
Axium's version is so much better than the original. And all those high notes that David hits...holy crap. And don't get me started on how hot he sounds when he curses.

I don't cuss myself, but it's pretty funny when he was like "fcuk you" because he was saying it as a joke. But, I like David Archuleta better in my opinion.

Played XBos rock Band in Best Buy with my son tonight (him guitar, me drums)and of COURSE picked Radiohead's version of this. David IMO is sooo much better! Much more interesting vocally, plus I kept hearing the F-word in my head! Love Ya Coook!!!

Very impressive. Totally different feel from the original...more ballsy. I prefer the high notes here, in the male register. But both versions are great.

His voice has progressed so much since this recording by a factor of 1000X. Pretty good altogether though.
