David Cook talks about Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta

[r0ck99videos]

I love adam and allison!

[DanaAlexandria]

i want the song he is singing. what is it?

David Cook is my favorite idol winner. :)

[Luv2Rock333]

david is so right! allison has more talent at her age than most people do at any age in their life! and adam is just flat out freakin amazing! wut is the name of the song david is singing at the end! i like it a lot! :)

[msadamlambertfan4eve]

o love adam who gives a flyin fadooddle fish about kris

[HopelessDaydreamer55]

@msadamlambertfan4eve

me and the other millions of people that voted for him to win

[Cookiebr8]

I am an Adam fan and a David Cook fan, David Cook is a class act. Adam already has three Gold albums and a Gold-soon to be platinum single.

[cj07777]

your voice and body is so much more than you eh!

[whittisgee]

does anyone know what davids singin? i luv this song. David you my boo! love you!

[wendykit]

i love both David and Adam - they were both my favorites. Extremely talented people.  I hope everyone is supporting and promoting them as much as they can. Allison isa great too!

[MistyxBlue]

I 100% agree with David Cook

[Kayla234561]

David has good taste. He's cute too and has a great voice.

[jadegiles25]

ADAM WON ITUNES SALES.

[eyeformixing]

Not during Idol. Also, Kris's no boundaries has sold a lot more than Adam

[oligirl101]

@eyeformixing whatever!!!!!!!! Adam is the best! Kris is good, Adam is OUTSTANDING and ONE OF A KIND! Get over it!

[eyeformixing]

@oligirl101 Well...thats your opinion. My opinion is different

[eyeformixing]

@oligirl101 I just personally prefer Kris more. Everyone has their own preferences

[bl0wy0urbrain]

@eyeformixing not to say kris is not good. both are awesome. but in terms of putting up a good show, adam is WAY better in it.

[HopelessDaydreamer55]

@bl0wy0urbrain

depends on your opinion of "good show"

I admit that Adam is absolutely incredible, and the lights and flare that he puts up are amazing. But I like Kris' stripped down versions, sitting on the stage with a guitar just raw and pure and about the music itself.

Sometimes I'm in an Adam mood, but Kris was my favorite that year. David Cook is still my all time favorite <3

Either way, Kradam forever ^_^

[ibelieveintomorrow]

Kris is outstanding , he's amazing ! No wonder why he won !

I like both, they're pretty talent & no one can deny it. Adam has beautiful power voice (i swear love his voice since the first time) but Kris has smooth & sweet, warm voice. When i hear he singing in some songs, the sound very relax & gently ! That why i like Kris more than Adam alittle bit. Its a true reason why he has more votes for Adam. Not only girl fans votes for Kris, have many old people & man votes for him too !

[16brooke1992]

thats actually not true... adam has sold way more than kris. it doesnt really matter, there both awesome (i like adam more) but it should not be about how many albums sold anyway. if you like kris more, than focus on him.. im sick of everyone comparing the two. its like apples and oranges.. they are both talented and deserve what they got.

[HopelessDaydreamer55]

@16brooke1992

Amen to THAT! I am soooooooo glad to see someone who actually gets what I've been saying all along! I prefer Kris, but Adam is amazing, and they are so incredibly different that it's not even fair to try and compare them. It's not even really possible. so yay for you on getting that lol :)

[midview8]

i am wondering what song david sung in this

[haylkat1]

ugghhh! i wish i wouldve watched davids season! i had a lot going on thoe...dad came down with cancer-and much much more...its the only season i missed too!

oh well--at least ive watched the whole season of adams and allisons season!!

david is really good...havent really heard much by him--or archie...

[glamtrast28]

ADAM ADAM ADAM! Allison is cool too tho.

[DavidCookLover1111]

i love david cook and adam lambert ! <3

[Luv2Rock333]

OMG!!! 0:14 is amazing!!!

[eyeformixing]

According to song sales, the producers DON'T choose who wins. The votes are very accurate compared to the sales and it represents who the majority of people like. Kris has the most sales overall by a long way, its Kris then Adam, then Danny and then Allison. It's exactly as the sales tell it. U.S sales so the votes are the same. The more sales they get, the more people there are to vote more than once

[illshutup]

That may be true, but Archuleta got the most votes last season. FOX made YouTube move a lot of Archuleta's performances to far pages, although not all, because in most of them, all judges said that Archuleta was definitely the next Idol.

[ugetsmart]

wrong, Adam wins here

[vreytinydancer]

what song is this?????

[eyeformixing]

Optimistic To A Fault : )

[AdamAllisonFan11]

Hmm...I forgot what David Cook sounded like. XD I like the pic at 1:14, it's like brothers!

[Demerz16]

I felt sorry for Kris too, he was far behind adam,,,,,,,,but he was the goodie two shoe pick

[TheDavidCooklover]

What does ''Optimistic to a fault'' actually mean?

[forevershining1]

0:28 i love these guys (:

[actress4ever12]

theres more love for adam then their is for kris i'v e noticed. And i went on the AI website ppl comment more for Adam then Kris(trust me WAY MORE) and ppl rate Adams videos better then Kris's and i went on the AT&T website and SAW and they WERE CHEATING !!!!! IT TOLD ME HOW TO POWER TXT AND EVERYTHING!!! SO I REALL Y DONT CARE WHAT KRIS'S FANS HAVE TO SAY CAUSE I saw PROOF!!!

[eyeformixing]

To fair on every contestant that's ever been, to get it out in the open....power texting has been done since season 2 of American Idol and even some during season 1. Also, both Adam and Kris fans (most) knew how to power text already. I saw power texting tips for both fan bases on many sites. And now I know why Allison wasn't in the top 3 at least : ( most of her fans didn't power text

[americanidolz2009]

Well, whatever about the powertxt thing. the problem is american didnt vote based on talent, they just didnt vote for Adam because the rumor was that he was gay, which is now confirmed to be true. But that dosn't make no fucking difference, its a talent competition you idiots! It is true though that Ryan put Adam in the bot 2. that week in the top 5 to get better ratings. for my part that is ok, but also very dumb. but we shouldnt worry now he didnt win. hes going to have so much sucess anyways

[illshutup]

Yeah I heard that the producers choose everything. When Allison got out, they didn't like her, although she got the most votes that night. Archuleta beat Cook in votes, but producers liked Cook better. Adam had most votes, but the producers are like homophobic or anti-homo. :/

But I still love the show!!

ADAM FTW!! :)

[tynislove]

ARE YOU SERIOUS? They actually do that?

[illshutup]

Yes... :(

I mean usually they make good choices, but with Kris and Allison and David Archuleta and all....I was pretty disappointed by their choice(s).

[eyeformixing]

Simon Fuller likes Allison, he is the one in charge of 19 and she is now signed to 19- Jive

[ZeppelinAerosmithNY]

Gary you are a retard

[allisonirahetaroxs]

i loved david archuleta but then i heard allison sing

[lichlich123]

i think they when they reach season 12 they should bring back all the winners of american idol and let them compete with each other!

[PHDNeurodude]

I would agree but for the most part the winners suck! America just picks some homely hetero hayseed from the South that can sort of kinda sing.

[blahblahblah8265]

I agree with you by 70%! lol...

I wonder, could it be that because maybe people in the south watch more TV than people in the north so that they got more voters? and more enthusiastic about this whole reality TV show thing?

[illshutup]

The producers pick who win.

Why did you like Archuleta better? i did. :)

[eyeformixing]

Why would the producer chose who to win if their aim is to make money? Whoever gets the most votes means the most popular and it relates to the song sales. Neilson and Billboard all show that Kris has the most sales. Also, there has been favouritism of Adam during the show so I think theres no way that the producers choose

[illshutup]

I heard it's because if they chose stupid things (such as letting that one guy...Norman or something go through), there would be more viewers and they would make more money through the veiwers, which is true.

Don't ask me. I don't know in depth. --x

[danielsplane91]

omg i was thinking the same thing a while back.

[Angieallis1249]

you are right teejay1618, the 2008 season best idols should have been Adam, Allison and Kris

[teejay1618]

0:27 Would've been the ideal top 3 this season. I'm pretty disappointed that it didn't turn out that way.

[timmycrzy]

OH MY GOD. Last season i loved david cook, but after hearing Adam (<333) so much, i actually think that ADAM is better than like any other winner! If all the winners and ADAM were in the same season, ADAM WOULD DOMINATE! think about it...

[thesoftballplayer23]

its kinda better tht adam lost b/c kris gets a contract from AI and his first single has to be 1 he did on AI so wen adams alubum cums out he will b #1 on the charts and it will be true adam lambert, the 1 we learned 2 love each week... GO ADAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!! he also has been asked by KISS to sing with them after the AI finale~

[KyuubiNemesis94]

no he wasnt those were just rumors. but yea its better that he didnt win.

[captivecomnz]

Absolutely agree. Kris needed to win, Adam didn't need it. The press go crazy for Adam and I kinda feel a bit sorry for Kris but can't wait to see what Adam will do musically.

[xxpopcheerleaderxx]

congrats to kris n i think adam is hot n allison should of won but congrats to adam n kris!!!!!!!! n i love DAVID COOK!!

[eyeformixing]

I voted for Kris NOT because of sexuality. That is only a minority of his fans. You could say the same for Adam, some people also voted for him BECAUSE he was gay - to make a statement. It can be put both ways

[GaryStylemanXm]

Yes, i do agree with you!

Some people jz vote for Adam because he's Gay,

But, some people vote for kris its coz hes straight!

However, Majority the people in da world are Straight! so they jz vote for Kris!

Its good to have ppl like you that dint care about the sexuality! No offence

[archuletalover95]

I love adam and allison!!!!!!!! Allison should have been in the finale 2!!!!11

[demoto123]

i cant hear him

[xoxoxoxoHardygirl22]

it pissed me off when allison left over GOKEY! ugh! i wanted Allison and Adam to be the final 2....dammit well i hope she gets signed!

I LOVE YA ALLISON!

[eatingskittles247]

i no it made me mad 2!!!

[pur3pwned]

What song is that? I want to go and download it.

[dcookie7]

oh and for those of you who think lamberts the BEST contestant ever. youve got to be kidding me. adams a performer.cooks an artist. NO CONTEST.

as for adams crazy "pitch" - thin screams.

his voice isnt rich like cooks and he never injects emotion into a song like cook does. if i were cook i would have called him overated. he was WAY too gracious.

[vitelli786]

dude. chill out.

it all falls down to preferences.

and its clear that you dont like adam.

that doesnt mean everyone else has to dislike him too. :)

chill out bro.

pass the weed..

[dcookie7]

dude why dont you chill out?

couldnt care less about who people like.

the whole "why david cook isnt praising adam" whining on this page got on my nerves. really has nothing to do with you or adam. peace out.

[vitelli786]

aaaaaah.

i see..

my bad then bro.

thanks for that. :)

cheers!

[dcookie7]

wow all you kids are so fucking lame whining about how cook didnt praise lambert enough. gimme a fucking break.

american idols dont even talk about the contestants. chris daughtry always brushes these questions off with a simple " i didnt tune in this year" - i thought david shouldve done the same. act like he didnt know anybody.

[venomscorpion]

Well, Adam Lambert doesn't need praise from Cook, as he already has Smokey, Slash, Bono and Robbie Williams to praise him. And by any standard those names are waaaay bigger than Cook.

[dcookie7]

well then these people need to stop whining about cook not pimping adam like the others. these people may be bigger than cook but glambert isnt. kris allen FTW.

[dcookie7]

btw adam lambert admitted looking up to cook. heres a direct quote Lambert says David Cook turned him on to the show's promise and possibilities.

"He really was the first to look beyond the obvious with his song choices and arrangements," says Lambert. "David paved the way for people like me to create their own path on the show."

[bluestar585]

WHAT IS DAVID COOK SINGING?=S

I <3 ADAM!!And Cook is great!=D

[ilieizyan]

go here..watch?v=Wh2YOkpbLnQ

[RockerChick497]

this is awesome i totaly agree with david she has amaizing talent for her age just like archie did on american idol and i think that adam is SOOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOO amaizingly talented NOBODY can even sing close to him wen he reaches high notes!!

[kayperr]

what is the deal with kris? he's really not that great a singer..and forget danny, he definitely should have gone home last night..i really liked allison :( but im def gonna keep voting for adam

[valbe68hot]

i AGREE!! I had hoped dat it wud b Adam & Allison in the Finals! Together they remind me of d 2 Davids in last season!

[brenky1723]

does anyone know where i could download the full version of this song

[ilieizyan]

there is no full version..only a short video of David singing this song live..here watch?v=Wh2YOkpbLnQ

[Daniel3ajaic]

VOTE FOR ALLISON!!!!

[janell1336]

I love her voice and I hope that she will be the next AMERICAN IDOL.

[janell1336]

Did you know Ruben won over Clay by ONLY 130,000 votes?

We have to help him out by voting thousands of times, and YOUR VOTES COUNT!!

[Adrianita1410]

hi i am from mex and i would love to vote for adam..how???

[SharinganRebirth]

I heard that you can use phone cards.

[iLoveCheerleading51]

guys, can we please stop fighting about this? adam and allison are friends so if we say somethin bad about adam, we're saying something bad about one of allison's friends. and vise versa. they are both really good & i hope to see them in the finals.

[Alura11]

why does everyone think Allison is so good? She's a great singer but I find her voice grating....

[melissa483]

She has a beautifully awesome voice. Why do you think she has made it in to the top 4? Regardless of who leaves tonight, They all ready have record contracts. I really hope that Adam and Allison stay. Couldnt care which Kris or Danny stays, but I hope my two stays! I love 'em!

[Alura11]

DAVID COOK FTW!!

[thegirlthatsing]

Happy B-day Allison!

Happy B-day Allison!

Happy B-day Allison!

Happy B-day Allison!

[luifuksang]

Cook, imo, doesnt measure up, not just to Adam, but to other idols; not only in singing, but in personality. Theres a video where Elliott Yamin said Adams the most unique ever on the show and he said like the judges said, cant wait to see what he does next. These are the sort of things people usually say. Even if Cook doesnt like Adam much, can't he at least say hes consistently Good? Cooks comments was very much toned down considering Adams performance, dont you think? ... more

[luifuksang]

.. I like Elliott Yamin, he seems nice and he has a silky voice. True talents dont fear, they may face a bigger talent but theyre not afraid to say from their heart. And last week I was moved to see Archuleta. Not only his singing but his personality have grown. When he was giving advice to Allison and Anoop I felt that he was very genuine and he meant to help. I am afraid to say from what Ive seen, Cook is the one idol thats lacking most not only in singing but in personality. .. . more

[luifuksang]

... I doubt even the seasoned rockers like Steve Tyler or Robert Plant would say Adam's consistent (and not much else). When you say someones consistent and youre in the same business, it implies that youre judging (obviously you have to be better than them to judge). To others it may sound alright but imagine youre Cook or one of the idols, and you comment on Adam saying hes consistent (and not much else), dont you think that you think youre better in order to make that comment?

[hpnhpluv]

See, I disagree with you completely on David. I think David was one of the most personable Idol contestants ever, if you didn't think that from the show just look up some of his concert banter here on Youtube to see that he is a charming, sincere guy. I really love his voice, along with the million or so other people who bought his album.

I think it would have seemed odd if David had said much more about Adam. From what I can recall, the winners don't usually share personal favorites. :/

[imrandom111]

i love david cook, adam and allison, theyre all amazing

i hope its adam and allison in the finals, but people need to start voting for allison! or else shes gonna leave soon :(

[eyeformixing]

I totally agree with your comment : ). That would be such an awesome final! My top 3 is Allison, Kris and Adam

[itssjessicababe]

i think that danny should go next week than allison than kris than adam will win :))

[3dogs4life3]

look up i fucking hate you godsmack thats how i feel bout adam allison sux chris is okay matt is just sorryadam can sing he is amazing i just hate him and not cuz he gay i love danny!!!!

[purpletycoon]

OMG i love this songg. (: Wtfrik? David cook was commenting Allison and Adam, he never insulted them. These 3 singers are amazing, and i think its gonna come down to Allison, and Adam at the end. (: <3 <3 <3 they rock , espescially adam(:<3

[AskxTom]

wow. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE DAVID COOK AND ADAM LAMBERT!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE MY FAVORITE SINGERS IN THE WORLD!!!!!! NO ONE CAN EVER TOP THEM!!1!

[Teralynne07]

Love David Cook to death, Adam is okaaaay. I mean, he's got this amazing voice, he was sing like crazy, I just feel like the personality is not there, because I never feel like I'm seeing HIM, I just feel like I'm seeing whatever act he's putting on that week. I'd love to see Adam as ADAM, and I think I'd like him a lot better.

I LOVE Danny this season though, I'm pretty sure it's gonna be Danny and Adam in the final 2. Can't see it any other way.

[guadalupe84]

Couldn't agree more. I think that's what prevents me from just getting into him, you know? I mean, there were a few performances that I didn't really dig. But I just don't see anything worth grasping.

[emiliakalve]

Agree, stop bashing David Cook, he deserved to win last year, cute, handsome, humble, talented, lots of charisma, hope he does well. Adam? Heart-stoppingly talented, voted for him 64 times today, first in 8 years, he is one in a century. For the commenters who say he is screaming, listen to all of his songs (including "Is anybody listening?"), he can master almost any style, and so far "murdered" every song he ever touched, simply unmatched talent! Allison is my second favorite, then Kris.

[seanceli22]

I agree that ALLISON and ADAM are the greatest this season.

But I think Adam is too over-rated and does more screaming and screeching. Allison is slightly underrated and really can sing. Her voice at 16 is really a gift from God. They're both great.

[kittywithaknife]

Love David Cook and Adam Lambert. :)

[raxorine]

i love adam ambert. some people keep on saying he's gay but i don't think so for me he's hot and cool and handsome.i also love allison they look cute together :)

[sharankabsb143]

i dont like david cook...i  love adam hes hot n sexy n totaly deserves to win

[LeBaggeLady]

I love David Cook and Adam Lambert...

[NateH47]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounded to me like David was COMPLIMENTING ADAM. Why that has inspired so much anti-David spam is mind boggling to me. Maybe the Idol powers that be told David to keep his personal opinions just that... personal? After all, at this point saying Adam and Allison are the favorites is basically fact.

[Baseballfan781]

Why is everyone hating on David Cook? He deserved to win American Idol. There isn't one thing other contestants did that he didn't do just as well or better

[violethill37]

i hate david's singing voice. it sounds like he needs to clear his throat- same with danny gokey's voice. i prefer smooth voices, like adam lambert in "is anybody listening?"

[Kengiedengi]

Adam is the best.

and idc if he's bald or has an afro.

i like him for his voice and nothing else

[rebapearce95]

I think allison could win this thing!! I HOPE SHE DOES

[fadjio]

can any1 plz tell me what's that song he's singing? it's amazing

[eyeformixing]

The song is called 'Optimistic To A Fault' it was one of his songs before he went on American Idol : )

[hyelady47]

never really connected with david cook last year AT ALL, or will any of them. but i'm lovin' on adam. i never found him humble and he's just alright.

thanx for this post

[louistheidol]

David Cook is the American Idol, and Adam is just a wannabe. Who wins? lol.

[luifuksang]

You're right on, barf62! Adam or Allison would have beaten David. Cook's voice is actually pretty weak IMO, there're tons of guys that sound like him. People were impressed by his version of Billie Jean, they thought it's his version. He had most people fooled (he had me fooled at first). That version was originally done by Chris Cornell, Cook's karaoking Cornell's version. If you have a chance to listen to Cornell's version, you'll find that Cook didn't do justice to that version. .. more

[RiddleMe98]

It was never a secret. Watch the video with Ryan's intro. He says Doing Chris Cornell's version of Billie Jean, Its David Cook. They gave Cornell credit on the original show

[luifuksang]

.... I wouldn't have said anything about Cook if he didn't say what he said about Adam. I'm not at all looking too deep into what he said. It is just so obvious. Whether you like Adam or not you can't deny he has a big crazy voice and crazy range. While all Cook said about Adam is CONSISTENT ?! And TRYING TO make his own ?! Give me a break! Cook is in no position to say this.

[barf62]

I think both Adam and Allison would have beaten David.

[ZiTrunks]

Cook totally kick adam ass man..

[PinkFrostyDonut]

If there were a battle of the Idols. Adam would come at the top vocal wise. Next is Carrie Underwood, then Kelly Clarkson.

[wordsrlikerain]

Wow, can't believe how much everyone is misinterpreting David's words. You know, there is a point where you can look WAY too deep into what someone says. David doesn't see Adam as 'competition.' They are on COMPLETELY opposite sides of the music spectrum, so why even compare them? Yes, they both change songs to fit their styles, but that is IT. Nothing else! Personally, I think David has a better voice than Adam, who, although he has a great range, just tends to screech things.

[lepmrp43]

ya i just looked it up and and few of his other songs too and they're great!!!

thanks for letting me know about them, though.

[luifuksang]

As much as I think David Cook is just average, I havent until now said anything bad about him even that he became the Idol. I generally dont like to criticise and as someone here said, no need to waste time putting down others. But doesnt everybody think that somethings not quite right when he said Adam is CONSISTENT. He is TRYING to make things his own. He sounded like hes better than Adam and he wouldnt even go just that far as saying Adam is CONSISTENTLY GOOD, just CONSISTENT !!?

[luifuksang]

There is no doubt that hes slighting Adam when Adam have done something that amazes so many people. But I guess I cant blame him. Hes fearing the competition which he should be and with Adams emergence, what hes doing really looks average at best. But, it really wouldnt hurt for him to at least say Adam is consistently GOOD.

[luifuksang]

I'd say you're right appledancer. If Cook's competing this year he wouldn't have a chance. For me it's really not love one and hate another. Way before Adam came along I already didn't think much of Cook. Of the two last year Archuleta should have won. If it's up to me Cook would not even made the top 10. Simon was so right. From the get go he said when Cook is without his guitar, he would be very vulnerable. Cook is actually just average. I think more than anything he's just lucky.

[PastaBaby]

I think Adam is the greatest Idol ever. But I also love David Cook.  Why do you have to hate one if you love the other. Why pit them against each other?

[cookified87]

Where can I get this song???

[cookified87]

I totally feel "to each his own." I think Adam is very talented, but he just does not appeal to me in the way David Cook does. I don't think either is any less talented than the other, but that they just have different styles. I am sticking up for David, but wouldn't waste my time putting down anyone else's choices.

[appledancer]

I think David Cook doesn't want people to see how incredibly boring and lame he is especially compared to Adam. David doesn't want to admit Adam's talent because, let's face it... David seems like a smart guy, but his talent doesn't measure up to Adam!!!!!

Adam is the BEST!

[Hosai0123]

I wish he said more about Adam. I think Adam Lambert is way more incredible then David Cook or any other Idol contestant EVER. Adam's got the voice, the looks, the experience, he's engaging on screen, he's got the whole package.

[luifuksang]

Seems like Cook is trying to just lightly touch on commenting on Adam and place the emphasis on Allison saying how good she is being so young. Couldn't David Cook at least say a few more good things about Adam since Adam is so outrageously good ? Same situation as last year's ?? Is he comparing Allison to Archuleta and him to Adam ? I'm sorry but David Cook, you're not even close to being in the league of Adam. You might have a commercial voice but you're actually quite pitchy.

[appledancer]

I totally agree. David Cook cannot hold a candle next to Adam Lambert and I think HE knows it. If he were competing this year, he would never have a chance. Go ADAM! :)

[lepmrp43]

great song!

where did you find this?

[eyeformixing]

Hi : ) I found the song on YouTube whilst I was browsing some of David Cook's songs. I hadn't heard it before so I decided to listen and I like it now : )

[CookieLove1983]

love the song you tagged to the end of interview snippet

[eyeformixing]

Thanks, I love it too! : ))
