He had me from Hello (: lol this is one my favorite Idol performances EVER and David is easily my favorite guy to win it (: I love him so much, he was so good on Idol and he's only gotten better.
@Arimaarima71 Yes, this was the turning point for Cook! His key performance of that year. He zoomed to the front like Secretariat in the back of the pack while doing this. And held the lead till the end.
american idol winner fantasia has a super hot video out call "im doin me" you can check it out here on youtube just type in fantasia im doin me its phenomenal

Everyone, if you are a fan of David Cook, buy his new album. It's so good, and it hasn't been selling tons of copies. It's a shame, because DC is so talented, and such a good person. Please, just buy it. Please!
@theGLEEfull1 Why doesn't he release this as a single like Randy, Paula and Simon said? This version gives me chills! I wish I could put this version on my IPOD.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I can't fucking stand this guy and I could care less how much of a hater I am for it or how good he can sing lol. He's a good singer and a better douchebag.
@zhy88ify Those "mediocre" singers who became famous in america was either heavily advertised on radio, internet, etc or spread of plethora rants on social media. Not all famous singers are actually good... an example would JB.
its too bad that this guys is so overly glamorized in tv. His has killer talent, so why fill the screen with flashing colors and crazy camera angles and pans.
I really wanna know if Simon actually met Lionel Richie in the supermarket...
Anyway, fantastic rendition. Now whenever I hear the original version I expect that drawn-out "I love you!" at 1:15 and feel a little disappointed when it doesn't come...
i think i may like him EVEN MORE watching these back from when he was on the season even more! (i hope my wording wasnt that bad!) DAVID COOK U ARE MY AMERICAN IDOL FOREVER!!!! idol would have been PERFECT if chris daughtry, adam lambert and james durbin woulda won along with him!!
the BEST season ever HANDS DOWN....the only season where I happened to like each one of them...unlike today's season where hatred is always tolerated...

I loved Stefano's version of this because it was more slow and more sensitive while David's was more like a rock version which I also loved!! So I can not pick which one I love more because I love each of the for different reasons. Both of them did a fantastic job on this song I believe!! :) <3 Love David and Stefano!! :D
fun aside. im 23 and a music junkie. mosty i listened to stuff like rap,rnb,jazz,soul,new jackswing. also some pop/rock etc (also a big fan of john mayer) but anyway.. what i wanted to say. that david cook is one of the greatest i EVER heard. awesome voice giving u gooseumps etc
its a guy i wish all the success a person can get.. the music industry is fucked up at the moment.. so i dont think that david will make it to the TOP again or be at the TOP were he should be. worldwide
I'm so looking forward to his new album. I have loved this man ever since I saw his audition. "Livin' On A Prayer" was always one of my favorite songs, and to see him pull it off so well, even if it WAS only 30 seconds... ^^ I was mind-blown. And I always get chills listening to him. He's fabulous. <333333
...Side note, am I the only person who laughed when Randy said he made the song "slightly emo"? xD

I agree, no one should attempt to cover this song again, because it'll be directly compared with this brilliant cover,which no one can top , in my opinion. (:
Stefano should've done some research before choosing that song.. çuz nobody will ever kill this song like David did!!! I miss David in Idol ..the most brilliant contestant ever!!!
Love seeing this video again! He did such a great job with "Hello"! Absolutely love David and can't wait for his new music.
The new AI contestants are giving us a chance to review great past performaces when they pick the same songs that were soooo well done in prior years. Fun!
everytime David performs I get chills, the difference between Cook's rendition and Stefano is connection, Cook connects to every single song he performed which made the audience feel the true meaning of the song. Stefano has a great voice but no where close to Cook's intensity.
@nightmare20 The biggest difference between the two is DC's eye f*cking skills and that sexy smirk! He just really made that song so damn sexy and made me forget the stupid video with the blind girl LOL
aahh, this is how you do "Hello" . I love Stefano, but they shoul've swayed him away from doing this - it was wrong song. Don't sing a song that a former AI winner had a "moment" with and this was def a "moment"!!
He has the charisma which can not be described! He just owned my heart! Unique voice and outstanding performance! LOVE YOU DAVID!

Are you ready to die?
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Have u lied? Have u stolen? Jesus said if you look at a woman with lust you have committed adultery with here in your heart. have u done that?
If God judge’s u by the Ten Commandments will u be innocent or guilty? Heaven or Hell? Does this concern you?
Do u need a Savior from your sins?
Jesus came, lived a sinless life, died (for our sins) and rose again on the third day.

Thumbs up if you came here after Stefano's version on Idol...so you could hear what a REAL "Idol Moment" is!

everytime David performs I get chills, the difference between Cook's rendition and Stefano is connection, Cook connects to every single song he performed which made the audience feel the true meaning of the song. Stefano has a great voice but no where close to Cook's intensity.

@nightmare20 The biggest difference between the two is DC's eye f*cking skills and that sexy smirk! He just really made that song so damn sexy and made me forget the stupid video with the blind girl LOL

David was making love with his guitar...that is why he did a good job on this song.

Agreed. This song should be retired permanently from AI. You can't surpass this, totally unique and unforgettable.

@TheDonnaPatrol This is so beautiful. Perfection should not be repeated.

aahh, this is how you do "Hello" . I love Stefano, but they shoul've swayed him away from doing this - it was wrong song. Don't sing a song that a former AI winner had a "moment" with and this was def a "moment"!!

No one should ever try this song again on American Idol... because no one will do it as good as this!
