David Cook (The World I Know)

[CharmedCosmicGem78]

Not bad. However, I think Collective Soul does it better!

[JayM0001]

DC has a brother who is battling cancer. If you watch the Collective Soul vid of this tune, it is about a man on the edge - literally. I think DC's emotion was directly related to his love for his brother, and the overwhelming response of the crowd. I also think his obvious anger at S. Cowell, and Cowell's later apology, was related to his brother's condition. Randy and Paula probably chewed Simon's ass after the show.

[morganlynn1989]

that and because right when he finished the song, he looked in the audience and adam was there. he didnt know he was threre.

and cause david is a softy. =)

[avrahlevine]

he's so sweet...but why did hwe cry? was he just overwhelmed? he had just an amzing performnce, it's so him, so honest and pure-the most perfect song fot the end of the show. i'm really happy he didn't do a song he'd done already.

[yoBsup]

is this his original song?

[DHHSSTUDENTNEWS]

no it's by Collective Soul. Honestly I think the original is better. But regardless I love both of them

[anavic74]

When he cries, I cry. He's my Idol definitely.

[rinoaheartilly23]

(ruben and taylor?? blechhhh.)

COOKIE DESERVES THIS!!

YAY I'm so glad you posted that. I saw on there page that david cook won but didn't know how accurate it had been in the past! YES YES YES! If he wins I'm gonna have a seizure... I bet my mom $100 that he'll win so lets see!

[nylatinguy3000]

AHHHH!!!!

I'M JUST SO HAPPY!!!

OUR MAN WON!!!

*throws confetti in air and spins around*

Rejoice, cause we FINALLY have an amazing MALE winner!!!

(And, from a Cook fan to another Cook fan, he's gotten MUCH sexier as the's progressed; I thought he was at his DAMN sexiest last night).

:-)

[sexieshortie2008]

Oh yea he's sexy as hell. lol. I can't wait til the tour so I can get back stage passes! lol.

[nylatinguy3000]

For the record... it's almost 100% IMPOSSIBLE for Cook NOT to get the title tonight.

Even my over-bearing preference aside, logically and using solely the facts, David Cook is the Winner for American Idol 2008.

If, for whatever reason, he does NOT win, then the show will lose all integrity and is 100% fixed.

That would be the only way to explain it.

[sexieshortie2008]

I dont think that the show is fixed but I do believe the judges try to sway the voters. But who really listens to them anyway? If anything when they dissed Cook it just made us Cook fans vote more. DC 4TW!

[nylatinguy3000]

Dial Idol dials a contestants number, measuring how many times it got through and how many times it was met with a busy signal. Using this, they determine which contestant got the most votes.

Here are Dial Idols Results of the Final 2 since Season 4:

Carrie Underwood: 75.51 (Winner)

Bo Bice: 72.88

Taylor Hicks: 45.58 (Winner)

Katharine McPhee: 37.1

Jordin Sparks: 45.03 (Winner)

Blake Lewis: 30.34

DAVID COOK: 40.93 (...WINNER!)

David Archuleta: 29.37

[littlesister72]

Another AWESOME performance by David Cook. He's an IDOL whether he wins or not. It's a "low blow" for anyone to make remarks about the tears. David Cook doesn't tear up too easily, and due to the fact that his terminally ill brother made it to his finale performance, well- I guess it sort of got to him. He needs no pity vote.

[NarniaKind]

jajahpap, another thing, Archie has cried plenty of times too! There is NOTHING wrong with either DC or DA crying..

[NarniaKind]

jajahpap, He is NOT a moron. There was no "theme." They could either choose a song they sang before OR choose a new one. What's this? You say that DC fans have no manners and bash Archie. Well, you're on here bashing David Cook! I think you should practice what you preach and learn some manners yourself.

Oh yeah, and rules are meant to be broken. DC is a winner no matter what happens; he's a true original.

[cali29]

I LOVE DC <3

[sorinavio06]

ohhhhhhhhh he was crying... may i go and give him a hug? ;) he's just so amazing!

[maitezy]

He sangs this better than the way the other david sangs Imagine

[jajahpap]

COOK IS A MORON didn't he know that the theme id that they should choose from the songs they sang in the whole show? HOW CAN HE PROGRESS IF HE CAN'T FOLLOW AN INSTRUCTION!!!

I should also say that cooks fans are brutal and savage fans cause they always comment and say bad critsisms to david A!!! they should not be an IDOL!!!! you don't have MANNERS!!!!!

[Shiizuko]

And yet here you are being brutal and savage like the "cook fans". Great show of manners.

[maitezy]

this is very good....a  DOUBLE PLATINUM

[oddlyreasonable]

Thanx for leaving the judges comments. after a heartfelt performance of this stature they are good for a laugh. proud of DA love DC and DD made my night.

[oddlyreasonable]

Does anyone else hear this ? :) whoa!

[kittnluver]

Although they are both great, I think David Cook should win. I've been voting for him and I'm getting a LOT of busy signals!!!

[carlos312]

simon even said that he wants david cook to win because he wants it and hes a bartender..i guess bottom line, in a way its like what Tyra Banks the moron says about Americas Next Top Model...its more about the journey and the struggle. david archuleta is still young and blah blah but all in all, cook deserves it more

[ibZippinit]

Billy Jean? Hello? Simon, Thank you for helping David Cook progress this to a no 1 hit!

[carlos312]

i really felt the emotion when he was crying. both the guys were amazing this season. and regardless theyre both gonna be great...hopefully! i think archie might win, but another daughtry cinderella story...cook will come out on top!

[carlos312]

This guy is so fucking gorgeous!

[trur3as0nz]

this gives me chills. vote vote vote! cook will win!

[wtchikmel]

I love David Cook...and I know this may sound bad but I almost hope he doesn't win SO he can be contracted by another label and do the whole rock thing instead of being stuck into a pop-style category.

[XsupermanFBI]

David Cook wants this bad. Daughtry is in the AI contract. Daughtry said the music business is brutal. No one gives you a contract. CHe said Cook should take the win. Cook is only a bartender. He does not have money to go on his own. Please vote.

[susycano11]

i`d give my life to vote but i live in an other country!!!!!

david hassssss to win!!!!

[indigoblast]

seriously who listen to mellow songs by archuleta on their ipods...give me no inspiration!

[indigoblast]

yes yes voteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! till hands numb!!!!!!!!!!!

[hockeychick5739]

DAVID COOK FOR THE WIN.

[greannmhar2]

Ed-E Roland will love this version of his beautiful song. Cookie will be on my ipod for years to come. I even love his bunnie nose wiggle.

[jennypot27]

that was sooo good!

[sexieshortie2008]

HELL YES! Me and my mom are having an argument because she is a david archuleta fan, and I'm obviously am a david cook fan, (i'm the one who posted this video) But as I showed her in 30 minutes I have over 200 HITS ont his VIDEO! GO DAVID COOK! Thanks for all the support fellow fans! :)
