David Cook singing "Time Of My Life", introduced by Oprah at Millenium Park in Chicago

[gdasher]

My buddy Regie Hamm wrote this song. It's awsome isn't it? David was lucky that Kara DioGuardi didn't write his coronation song, like the next season. Her's really sucked compared to this.

[gummie1066]

every time he sings i get goosebumps he has one sexey singing voice singing this song

[valenciakaye]

Awesome footage!

[NyCArole426]

David was invited to sing WITH the champions!! He is after all a champ among champs!!! So Proud!!

[chatterbox1229]

DC is lucky to have this song as his coronation song.... the AI season 8 didn't have a good coronation song..

[shelties2013]

David cook is amazing ya and he did go so far in a short amount of time expecially for wat he was going through

[aipyor]

where is he?

[Wh73v3R]

does anyone know when that was. dang it i live so close to there & i missed it urgh if u could leave a comment thanks

[Cblotnicky]

Imagine the head rush that this year must have been for David. He's gone so far in such a short time. I hope it keeps up for him- I love hearing him on the radio. He seems like a genuinely nice guy.

I thank Oprah for bringing ALL the Olympians. (well i know a few couldn't make it but still). Its not JUST ALL about Michael Phelps.. not to take away from him but you got to admit he overshadowed a lot of people. soo i loved seeing Shawn, Jason Lezak, etc. Thanks Oprah for treating everyone like Olympians!

[annieandnunu251712]

heyyyyy, Micheal Phelps brought like 8 GOLD MEDALS and then 3 silver i think it was and whatever dude ur just jealous that you're not good like him, and do you know how hard he works.. swimming is like the hardest sport to do and to get 8gold medals in it that is a very big deal so freakin buzz off you peice of crap..

[8182570]

whoh man i think you need to relax hehe no way am i dissing Phelps.. What he accomplished was amazing :)

Yes swimming is one of the most hardest sports to do which is why i have the uppermost respect for the whole entire USA swim team because they all work hard.. geez chillax all is good in the world ^^

[frameshopperxxx]

stop being so biased! michael did fantastic and so did the other olympians,...they work their buts of too ....its not just Michael who does.....

some events only allow u to get 1 gold/1silver/1bronze.......

its not swimming where in every race u can medal...

[annieandnunu251712]

ok, im not tyring to say that he is what made america win second place for overall gold and silver metals but he is a very hardworker and people dont see it people just think that he slacks off and he doesnt he is the very complete oppposite he works everyday of every month of every year and not a lot of pople can do what he does so i just wnated every1 2 no dat he is a very important person to the swim team and im not trying to say that he is the only reason but he was a big part of us wining

[kelllogan]

I think David Cook is awesome and he did a fabulous job on the show, I'm glad Oprah had him as her special guest! I think she's awesome too..

[miniteen23]

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!

[reinharv]

Just watched Oprah today and she announed at the end "that next was the 2008 winner of American Idol singing "the signature song of the Bejiing Olympics" David Cook signing "Time of My Life." She said she watched the Olympics so she could not miss that song being used by the Network. Love it.

David got some high-fives from a couple of the athlethes too. Love it.

[FallsGonnaKillYa]

Thank you SO much for posting this performance! Too cool~

[vannergypsy]

There's a girl at the very begining in red that runs over to David and hugs him or puts something around his neck, then turns to the crowd and gets blows them kisses. Wonder who that is?

[CookInspiresMe]

Where's David?

[vannergypsy]

In the middle of the stage with his acoustic guitar. Not the best vid. of it, but, hey, kudos to the person who took it and was able to post it before it airs! David sounds wonderful, as always!! ; D

[PadAckles1028]

I believe he's somewhere in the centre in front of the Olympians!

He sounded friggin' awesome! He has the best live voice ever!

[CookInspiresMe]

friggin'???

[PadAckles1028]

Yeah - you know, friggin? Early 90s slang??

[CookInspiresMe]

Yeah-I know...

[cookiefied08]

superb...best rendition I've ever heard for this song...job well done Mr. American Idol 2008 - no other than Mr. David Cook.

[simonsaystruth2008]

that's another terrific version from American Idol 2008...David Roland Cook. Congratulations...more power on your career.

[VerballyDyslexic]

Thanks for posting this. David sounds beautiful, as always. Poignant and apropos. Wish I could see where he was though :)

[NyDerekJeter2]

This is airing on oprah's show when the new season kicks off.

[Bbeckya23]

Oh man, I wish I could've been there today, except I was in school. :-(

Wow, he sounded great btw!

Did you meet him?

[mlarracuente]

David Cook's voice sounds wonderful, as always!

This song keeps on going, and going, and going!

Hurray for magic rainbows!

^_^

[dreamlittle]

Oh. thank you muchly.

[blackfusion100]

You are so lucky to have been there!!! I would have gone, but I had school. =( That must have been an amazing experience.

[trsfc7]

Thank you so much for posting this. I bet it was cool to be there in person. I can't wait to see it when it airs - to see the Olympians and David. He sounded very good!

[xkillerkirsten]

I agree.

[takeme2thelimits]

wow . so what time was this!?!? I walked by around 12 this afternoon . :( is he still in chicago ?!?!?! .. i would LOVE to see him .

thanks for posting this!!

[scottnjim]

This was about 11am!

[reinharv]

Wow, thank you so much for posting this. David Cook being on Oprah is HUGE!!! Yes, TOML should be the official Olympics song!! this is great exposure for DC!

[tayshayfan]

What a magical moment. So special.

[Loofyta]

Obviously this wasn't about David but about the Olympics. I don't think anyone should be disappointed he wasn't interviewd... He got to be on what will likely be one of the biggest episodes of Oprah. That's huge.

Hopefully when his own music is out she'll have him back.

[DCsGlory]

Thank you soooo much for recording and posting this! Can you give us any more details about David on the show? Did he only sing TOML (which is great by itself) and then leave, or did she speak with him at all? Details, pretty please.

[bear22898]

Awesome....this is SO wonderful for David! I can't wait to see it up close on 9/8!

[OCgirliechick]

This is too awesome. I can not wait to see this on TV!

I really hope Oprah realizes who she had singing there. And how much HIS fans love this!

I am too excited my two favorite people Oprah and David Cook :):):):):):)cant stop smiling!

Thank you so much for this video!

[OCgirliechick]

Does anyone know what he was wearing?

[Loofyta]

Black shirt and jeans.

Can't wait to actually see him perform! LOL

[ilovedavidcook25]

is it going to be on tv

[ilovedavidcook25]

when will it be on tv

[scottnjim]

My goodness! You are so welcomed! The truth is, I was not going to post it at all. But when I viewed it, I thought even though the video is lousy, the sound is pretty good, and you get the sense of how much Oprah's audience was enjoying the moment! The athletes mixing in the crowd and David singing? It was really special!

[taylorb22]

WOW! Way to go David!

[rebootienyc]

Eyes spontaneously exploding with tears while trying to watch this. OMG

[FloatingGrin]

I think he's on stage. Probably have to wait til Monday to see him. Just one more thing to look forward to.

I too love how he changes the song all the time. Thanks for posting this :)

[ilovedavidcook25]

to see him where

[FloatingGrin]

On the Oprah show Monday.

[ilovedavidcook25]

what time

[FloatingGrin]

That depends where you live. Google Oprah and schedule. We get her shows twice a day but we are in Chicago, so I doubt everybody gets her during the afternoon and after the news.

[scottnjim]

I had no idea he was going to be there! At the end, Oprah just said "Here's David Cook"! The crowd went CRAZY!

[divanahi]

so she didn't mention idol at all

that makes me so very happy

thank you scottnjim so so much!

[wnfdc]

thanks scottnjim. I guess we'll see him when it airs. no problem at all. Actually we can see him with his guitar.

Thanks for posting this. Must have been great

[wyldrein2]

He sounds fantastic...this should put the song over the top to go platinum, I'm thinking.

Way to go, David. So very, very proud of you!

[scottnjim]

Hey guys! Sorry you can't see David... The show was very exciting, and it was a proud moment to be an American. Oprah welcomed the athletes home in style! At the moment David came out, Oprah had the athletes come of stage and walk through the audience. I had goosebumps!!!

[divanahi]

how did oprah introduced david?

[amylee1220]

thank you so much for taking this video.

[Loofyta]

OMG!!! This is too awesome. I cannot wait to see this on TV.

Thank you so much for posting this!

[amylee1220]

love the change of "face the sun", and he did not appear on the show?

[divanahi]

tell us where is he please

and more about the show

thanks so much for this!

[wnfdc]

can't see him, but can't hear is so beautiful voice

[imjuzchillin01]

Where is he?
