  • He has the charisma which can not be described! He just owned my heart! Unique voice and outstanding performance! LOVE YOU DAVID!

  • 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.

  • The key to this song was how he ended it! Note the guitar stroke and the key change. And he changed the line. This is pure artistry!

  • Where i can find the Full version?

  • awesome job.. loved David's rendition of this. Great talent, indeed.

  • @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.

  • ugh... This is where I fell in love with this man <3

  • 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

  • He is awesome...that's all.

  • He looks better without the dirty-looking stubble of his. :)

  • what girls heart cant this guy win? hes got the best voice ever... and the girls are digging his hair... damn i wish i had his talent.

  • @backatchalol Kimberly Caldwell?

  • I think he's seducing me ^_^

  • He is pro! It was never sang like this before. Beutiful version! Very good! 

  • omg david cook your so handsome i love youuuuuu

  • @sweetGina4u he's hot and sexxyy

  • @jojoxx1231 yeah right..he's so perfect ..i love youuuuuu idol more blessings to come god bless muahhhhhhh

  • @sweetGina4u *you're = YOU ARE

  • 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!

  • Comment removed

  • @theGLEEfull1 Its done. And It's delighhhhhhhhtful!

  • @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.

  • Beautiful

  • i don't understand why mediocre singers are more famous than him in America? He is amazing!

  • @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.

  • @zhy88ify because they wear their jeans half way through with skimpy clad voluptous ladies

  • @zhy88ify im thinking the same thing, i just dont like justin b. and lady gaga. 

  • i wish someone would sing hello by evanescence in american idol. that would be totally awsome

  • jesus its like simons responses are pre-programed. Hes got like 4 max.

    And why does Cook always have this look like he knows whats going to happen. He never looks even the slightest nervous.

  • 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 cant stop grinning... cook has no beard.. clean shaven~~ he looks cheeky~!

  • David's version is so much better than even Lionel Richie. I would love to hear David's "Hello" on the radio.

  • 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...

  • he'll always be one of the best that was on the show

  • i loooove him!!!!

  • I LOVE HIM SOOO FREAKIN MUCH!!! <333

    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!!

  • We need MORE DAVID COOKS! American Idol has NOT been the same since David!

  • THE COMING OF DAVID COOK ...SEASON 7 WAS THE BEST!

  • wow~~ its OSM

  • what did Simon say at the end ? something about Lionel Ritchie and super market ?

  • MAGIC MOMENT!

  • what a sexy voice!

  • i love david cook!!!

  • it's funny how Simon says 'I loved it' =)))

  • special voice

  • stefano is better than this guy :S i hate his voice...

  • @rodrigosalasja if you don't like his voice why are you here?? stop hating him :p

  • glees version is perfect

  • @punkrockal no... just no.

  • omg .. he is so handsome

  • David Cook :) is soooo hot! XD 

  • Wow, that was really good.

  • After listening to both Stefano's and David Cook's version of the song, I liked DC's version way better...

  • 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 do that everytime i do karaoke....i stand there like an idiot after i realize i dont know the second verse and im like uhhhh yeah imma leave now

  • Incubus should sue him, just saying

  • Sexiest. Performance. Ever.

  • I love this, I remember when he opened with this song on the idols live tour, I remember because I cried....seriously! LOL

  • OMG his version made my day!!! <3333333

  • David Cook.... The Dareman to this day!

  • that was a bomb!!!!

  • I think randy is immortal and doesnt age

    

  • he looks like dexter (michael c hall) :P

  • wow! this is awesome

  • wow! this is awesome

  • Does anyone else wanna be that mic..? or the guitar? Haha oh david... : ) Haha.

  • David is the sexiest Idol ever!!!!!

  • miss simon, n david cook mom

  • one of the best versions ive heard

  • wat,ik,doe,werk,afmaken,dan,vr­yeven,in,zon,ik,heb,het,koud,h­ello,peter,i,love,you,i,m,same­,adres,nobody,loves,me,perhaps­,you????

  • voor,jou,it,s,close,so,don,t,b­e,angry

  • 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

  • but.. thats normal i guess. there so many singers who should sell millions cause of quality. but what u see at the charts? .. no comment.

    so please continue makin great music DAVID! (specially talkin about his first LP and the idol album)

  • 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 LOVE DAVID COOK FOREVER!!!

  • gahhhh it IS u im looking for................ heartsssssssss yoooouuuuuu

  • DAVID COOK. Y U NO COME TO FLORIDA MORE OFTEN?!

    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 love both this "hello" song and Devid Cook! Amazing!!!

    

  • Who could follow up on this AMAZING version of this song on american idol....o wait THAT IS WHAT STEFANO DID!!!!!!

  • David blew Stefano away. This is the way is supposed to be done!!

  • the Hell I still Get chills listening to Him 0_o

  • love your voice 

  • Paula Abdul she's look like destroyed and dumb. I dont know Why. Sorry.

  • 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. (:

  • He is sooooo bad WTF are you all thinking he is just talking for like 30 houers and then thinking hes awsome.....

  • love it!!

  • amazing...!!

  • I think this is my favorite Idol performance

  • No one can top his cover. this is the best cover of Hello that i've ever heard so far

  • he is sooo fucking hot!

  • hello!!!!

  • My Idol FOREVER!!!!

  • God I miss David....AND Paula!

  • Best American Idol winnar :D

  • after hearing closely this version is better than stefano

  • @poppyaje DUHHHHHHHH!!!! :P

  • Hello David??? where art thou David??? pls make an album :)

  • @lovemelma he has an album its called David Cook

  • @skyblue2362 .... actually i have that album of him :).... I meant he should make another album perhaps :)

  • stefano is just dumb

  • far better than stefano's version

  • Like this? Go check out his cover of " Don't You Forget About Me"... Stop by and say "Hello" and seriously "You Won't Forget About Him"

  • David Cook is AMAZING!

  • 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!!!

  • I just needed to come here and remember how AMAZING this performance was...three years later and I'm still entranced! :)

  • 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!

  • @wendykit lol. so true.

  • i can watch this over and over and over again...the best idol ever...david cook forever...

  • i loveeeeeeeee david cook

  • i loveeeeeeeee david cook

  • Bshorty, did I ever thank you for keeping this vid here? Well, if I did not, THANKS!

    2030751 views!!! WOW!!!

    "Is there someone loving you?" *faints*

  • Bshorty, did I ever thank you for keeping this vid here? Well, if I did not, THANKS!

    2030751 views!!! WOW!!!

  • @Made2158 you're most welcome!

  • sooo glad Ryan mentioned David's "Hello"...if I was Stefano I would've went to plan "B"!

  • guess what simon did with the carrots...

  • what was that "I loved it" on 2:56 from simon??? and the sholder shack ??

    super gay!!!

  • love the emo twist David put on this song...so sexy! No one could top this version of the song but Lionel himself...

  • the only one who can top this version is Lionel himself! Love the emo David put on this song...so sexy!!

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

  • @badbamabunny You know it!

  • @badbamabunny

    I guess I wasn't the only one then... :D

  • @badbamabunny : ) love this comment

  • he still makes me melt.

  • 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

  • You will "Always Be Our Baby" with "Hello"

  • Poor Stefano :(

    

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

  • My favorite version of "Hello" :)

  • Cook >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. Stefano

  • i love both versions - david's & stefano's,,, stefano's falsetto was perfect!

  • He had us at "HELLO" ... nuff said

  • 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!

  • had to try to erase Stefano's version from my mind...NO ONE does it like David does.

  • David sings this sexy sultry, no wonder he won.

  • Do Forget About Covering David...don't even go there

  • no one does it better than david

  • Not one does it better than David Cook, loved his version of Hello!

  • totally went to prom with molly hastings

  • No one can do this like David.

  • @reesespieces22 They just tried....No good :) Love David!

  • Stefano doesn't even come close!

  • @shemeon I agree. I love Stefano but all I was thinking about was David the whole time he was singing.

  • I LOVED this! I also Loved David Cooks cover of Mariah Carey's "Always be My Baby" The dude can sing!!!
