  • I LOVEEEE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

  • Still listening til now. There must be a reason right? David Cook is amazing :)

  • I liked David Cook but I have forgotten about him ontil I saw Josh K. Josh K is outstanding

  • love his own randition of Hello, What a great singer!

  • Da*n!!! He makes my liver quiver!

  • The BEST if not ever on AI but it Ever. Mr. David Cook.

  • OMG I LOVE HIS SMILE AT 1:25 HE IS SO SEXY....

    DAVID COOK YOU'RE THE BEST AMERICAN IDOL

  • oh yeah!!! david cook is the man!!

  • Daughtry and David Cook = best people ever on american idol

  • the best idol so far... by a damn mile..

  • Sorry, Stefano. This one's better. WAY better.

  • I remember watching this performance and saying "He is going to win..."

  • @Drewamania me too... so true..

  • @ChiomaNwanna Oh Yeah!! David definitely had me at Hello!!!

  • 1:18........GOOSEBUMPS!!

  • Oh yum !

  • OMG He's damn cute without beard... I love you David Cook ^_^

  • This is is the beginning of me falling in love with David Cook.

  • That is how you make a song your own. I love that song in all it's classic form. I loved this version very much! great rock spin to it!

  • my three friends here just turned gayy after watching this :P

  • Hello david cook :)

  • This is back when Idol was awesome, I can't believe Scotty...

  • пошёл ты на хуй

  • all of his perfomance was perfect he is my idol

  • This song made me love David Cook. <3 :)

  • LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!

  • I'd Buy this guy's HEARTBEATS <3

  • how do you dink is better.... adam lambert or this guy????? i vote for adam lambert but this guy is awesome¡¡¡

  • I almost forget how good he is until I return to these videos and then I'm blown away again by his incredible talent. Although this year the singers on AI are good, none of them takes chances or makes songs their own. They are really just good karaoke performers. I can't see any of them, except perhaps Casey and Paul, actually writing their own songs -- and we all see how far they didn't get. The new judges are fun, but they are ruining the show. No one tells it like it is. We need Simon back!

  • Awesome awesome awesome!!!!

  • Its been 3 years and David Cook STILL blows me away!

  • Best American Idol's are Chris Daughtry and David Cook! XD

  • for me, best american idol ever

  • He became my favorite when he sang this song.

  • This srsly needs a full studio version! :)

  • Best idols ever: Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood && David Cook.

  • @queenofbeehive i agree

  • 20 people dont know what talent is....

  • Can you say PERFECT?

  • I miss him :( he has the best rock voice ever on AI. And i can't stop listening to this... its so good <3. Probably because he's seducing us lol.

  • this rankks as one of the sexiest cover of a song ever. david cook did not attract just women. he earned the praise of men as well. he is a true artist, not just some idol/hearthrob. IMO he was the greatest performer on stage, simply because he engaged with each listenner, each and everyone of his audience. and he was so emotionally connected to his songs you can't help but see his sensitive side and be moved by such amazing artist. and yes, sexy voice, but more than that,

  • Idol just isn't the same anymore. David Cook was the last Idol to sell over a million. He and Jennifer Hudson are sharing fourth place behind Kelly, Carrie and Daughtry. This year's crop are all good... but none outstanding. But that is just my opinion. And I buy records. I will most likely buy Pia's CD... and can't wait for Cook's second to come out.

  • One of the most inventive, creative, and truly well rounded likable people to come out of AI. MAD vocal chops, style, personality, warms your heart and well spoken with a good head on his shoulders....a true idol.

  • So David Cook's version is AMAZING. I grew up listening to this song because my parents used to play it all the time. I think Stefano Langone's version isn't bad either, vocally it was beautiful and he nailed it. But I think as an artist, you need to find yourself into that song and I think David Cook did just that. He did such great justice to this song. One of the best American Idol winners (even though I was rooting for David Archuleta that season) Haha! :))

  • can't wait for his new cd. Still the most awesome idol ever..

  • I love this man....this whole song screams sex appeal!

  • this is great!:)

  • Damnnn where's David Cook nowwww

  • I will never get tired of watching this video. 

  • i really love DC's version!

  • you cant compare him and stefano. stefano uses his voice to create beauty and majesty... david does the same but much better and with a emo twist... then destroys all with the power of rock!!!!!

    wat was i trying to say again??

  • Stefano...watch..listen..and learn.

  • After witnessing stefano butcher this I had no choice but to come back home

  • Coming back to this again, still amazes me. Can't wait to hear new music from David Cook. I bought Cook's cover of Don't You Forget About Me on itunes. It's this year's boot song on Idol. I have it on constant replay.

  • David's voice is SO amazing and powerful! This version blows me away every time I listen....gives me major goosebumps every time. He is the best Idol ever and a fantastic musician. I've worn out his post-Idol CD, it's so great, and can't wait for the new one coming the next couple of months. Hello, David....bring it on, baby!!

  • Really Good I love it !!!

  • they shouldve just stopped the show then and been like ok you win time for so you think you can dance!

  • Stefano < David

  • pure "eargasm"!! as simple as that *_*

  • AFTER Stefano dared THE DAREMAN last nite... didnt he know.. David Cook "owns" this cover!!!!!!!! Simon Cowell .... "David that was a very brave thing to do and I loved it !"

  • Phew, after Stefano's version, I just had to come back to listen to how it should be done... I feel better now.

  • @smay30 lol i just did the same thing. definitely a better version!

  • Even though I've seen this vid and heard this version many times, watching and listening to David Cook do his thing.....I'm a puddle on the floor, again.

  • Stefano should NOT have done that. Sorry, he needs to go home. All anyone could think about is how amazing DC did this. One on AI's greatest moments IMHO!

  • @callyn6 Agreed, DC really felt it, it's like he's singing to one person and at the same time making everyone in the audience feel like he's singing specifically to them. Stefano's great but choosing a song so iconic on Idol, hmm, you better bring it, and he didn't =\

  • :( i miss david cook so much

    

  • goosebumps...

  • when I heard tonites version all I could envision is david cook's version.... David's version ROCKS my world!

  • David Cook made every song he sang his own as a competitor on AI. This was much better than Stefano, no offense to Stefano. David Cook took the lead on AI at taking a song and fitting it to his own unique style. The kids this season on AI could really take a lesson from Cook book of success! :)

  • God, I miss when Idol looked like this. It is so bad now, it's sad.

  • When I heard that Stefano was going to sing a classic Lionel Richie song, I thought I hope it's not Hello. Well it was Hello and Stefano was horrible!!! David's emo version is a classic!!! It is so obvious how David connected with the audience and Stefano did not.

  • Those guys up at the top are probably going...Dang, we might as well quit, we won't ever beat this guy. 

  • Way better than Stefano's performance tonight!!

  • 19 ppl are sayin goodbye

    

  • Bold Brave Brilliant..... Another cover he owns!

  • Awesome

  • lovely boy ;*

  • 19 people are idiots.

  • 3 years and here we are listening his cover over and over again!

  • 3 years ago wow 

  • he's sooo hot! omg...i love love love this version omg...so hawt!! 

  • I'm kicking myself for not buying all of david's performances on itunes when I had the chance...

  • If David Cook was on every season, he would win every season. Idol stank after his season. I am still watching every single A.I. videos of his still to this day. I don't even bother watching A.I. anymore - unless he's on.

  • The past 2 seasons as well as the current season have just bored me to tears. I have to watch all of his videos just to remind me what a great season 7 was because he was on it. And someone dared sing this song this season? Can't compare to David...

  • i had some carrots and he was buy cereal. true story

  • one of my favorites from him

  • I remember when he did this. At "I love you," I said to myself, "That kid is going all the way." Still my favorite Idol moment ever. :3

  • Had me at HELLO....BTW...when will he say "Hello" again...it's been far too long

  • I love his voice!

  • who are the 18 fucking retards who hit the thumbs down?? Clay Aiken lovers no doubt.

  • i wish david could compete and w-i-n all over again!

    best american idol!!

  • That look he gives around the 1:30- 1:34 mark... woah...!

  • Paula does love it when he comes on the stage.

  • i miss this voice of cook, similar to his pre-idol voice. his voice got huskier and his baritone voice almost disappeared post-idol. but he's got such great range, he sounds good in any range he chooses. just amazing. if only he'd release his second cd already! he's not as versatile as daughtry, which is why daughtry soars in the charts. but cook is all artistry, all-rock, and there's plenty of room for his sound. just needs to get it out there...again!

  • PERFECT!

  • Not to draw anything from the performance, but -

    I thoroughly enjoy that shirt.

  • Hauntingly beautiful and somewhat EMO, as Randy says. my favorite of David Cook's.

  • Swagger Sexy and just enuff attitude to rock my world!

  • Best Idol Forever! <3

  • he is JUNKYYY he snorks

  • great voice!! it's a big WOW!!!! how come ngangayun koh lang nalamn ang kantang to na rendition noi cook... he's incredibly good.

  • @khumags18 Now there's a question!

  • @Alikah1 ?

  • @Alikah1 LMFAO!!!! i swear i actually laughed really hard

  • Best Idol ever

  • When I first watched this, I immediately knew he would win...and he actually did. <3

  • Damn, This song made me a really very big fan of him!

  • this song is just freaky man.....

  • Im in LOVE with david !! <3<3<3 his PERFECT !

  • so sexy

  • :)nice one david...(philippines)

  • His voice is sooo brilliant! :)

  • he added progressive rock to non-official rock song which had been performed by a pop singer lionel richie. It really makes my heart melted xP

  • It's been two years and this version still blows me away every time!

  • @pauliep 3 years now:)

  • Him, along with Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson are in a way different league than all the other random people, David Cook is the best IMHO.

    DC set the bar so high that no matter how good these new Idols are, they won't come close. he's the only one who I wanted to win, won. Was that a right choice of words? :O

  • @Azelf3

    Don't forget Adam Lambert!

  • @Azelf3

    Don't forget Adam Lambert or Chris Daughtry

  • @Stubbee Was talking about Winners! :) And yes, Daughtry and Lambert are amazing!

  • I LOVE the smokey passion in his freakin voice! He sings the sh*t out of these songs!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM! B E S T IDOL E V E R!!!!

  • Wish I could sing like him at least 50% of the way he sings.

  • nice, for agwhh! loheelll

  • I just told my husband that i am obsessed with David Cook. And he said, " It's ok." Hey, i can marry him. If only i am not the millionth line. :-) Love this guy and and his songs.

  • kris allen or lee dewyze, what?

  • @YukonBloamie --Kris Allen or Lee Dewyze - who are those ;)

    This is the real American Idol

  • I LOVE Simon. The way he starts his commentary is like, "Listen closely because my words are big, beautiful, and will make your life." Tonight I decided to check out David Cook and David Archuleta , I like Archuleta but I am so, very impressed with Cook. Very impressed.

  • the last great american idol

    

  • wow, this is why David Cook won

  • Awesome rendition on Lionel Richie's Hello. It's really really really good.

    Oh, and the singer's not that bad-looking at all either (yes, I know it's THE David Cook). ;)

  • OMG...I STILL Love this guy!

  • OMG. This is so awesome!

  • david, pls.... pls....record this song. i really really love this version, superrrr!!!

  • Don't want to seem rude, but this is even better than the original.

  • @MennaYousuf

    nope, ut not being rude, ur just being honest. and i agree with u.

  • @MennaYousuf That wasn't rude. This is a tricky comment to whether I agree or disagree 'cause I love both versions. I would say this version is the most relevant today.

  • ahh randy says emo XD

  • 1000% BETTER THAN LIONEL

  • One of the first songs i heard him sing and i still like to watch this video sometimes.

    Hope to hear his new music soon.

  • 0:24

  • luv him 4eva <3

  • Jesus wth is Paula hammerd all the damn time? All I hear is incoherent babble.

  • @pfchangs09 yep! she was basically drunk most of the time, or at least she seemed like she was..

  • @pfchangs09 that's why she's gone. lol

  • After 2 years, still the best version.

  • david cook and adam lambert are the best singers ever!!! kris allen n david archuleta aren't as skilled as them, honestly..

  • i saw this on glee today, and this was the first thing i thought of. he really did a great job with this

  • That's too funny. Same thing here. I loved the Glee version but it made me want to hear this version again. David is amazing here.

  • Brandon Boyd done it better.

  • @garlandb84

    My opinion David Cook did it wayyyyyy better.

  • This David Cook performance always makes my day. Better than the best coffee!

  • hello gives me ghostbumps all the time.. can't get bored listening and watching david cook's videos even a 100x times!!

  • @coolmhely

    ghostbumps? lol what is a ghostbump?

  • He had me at hello :D

  • Going on American idol with a guitar is so UN-ROCK n ROLL MAN!!! guess hes ready to join Nickleback :)

  • Lol damn he made this song rly emo but i LOVE IT

  • the song was already emo

  • OMG he smiled a little for a second 1:25, it's sooooo sexy lol

  • @pilgrimontheroad For me it's the little smile and lip grab at :37-:38. More infatuated with him today than I was then. The guy definitely has a very, very special quality.

  • Hello, is it me you're looking for?... ♪

  • looooove this performance...best idol performance of all time imo. DAVID COOK ROCKS MY SOCKS! <3

  • Wow. I can't believe this performance took place 2 years ago tonight. SO much has happened since then...but this still sends shivers down my spine like the very first time I ever heard it.

    David Cook will ALWAYS be my Idol. NO ONE could EVER take his place. <3 <3

  • @pwrprez i agree!!! since he is from american idol, people dont take him serious. he is a serious artist, no matter where he got his big break from.

  • @pwrprez You are definetly right.While all of my friends wanted David A,I KNEW Davd Cook was gunna win.He has an amazing voice.I love him.

  • ok um let me guess Paula was also your favorite judge? "he's winner"???? wtf?

  • I liked him before, but when he performed this I thought THIS is the guy I'm voting for. Glad he won!

  • I'm so glad that his brother got to see him become a star before he passed away.

  • @Ryntaki he what :| how ?

  • this was my favorite performance of his on idol <3

  • I remember thinking: imagine a guy singing this to you? ahhh melted and became a fan since then... great song and arrangement, sooo glad he won :)  And wishing him the best!!!!!
