  • David gave credit on the actual show !!!!!!! So look up"libelous statement' before you ever acuse someone of stealing again.

  • He never claimed that it was his original version. David Cook told everyone that he wanted something different and he liked Chris Cornells version. He is not stealing, they are not allowed to use new material.  They have to use previously recorded songs. So they are not stealing covers. When the judges say original they are saying he is not taking the popular version, he is trying something different.

  • This perfectly proves just how much musical culture each, and every person from the jury has.

  • Thumbs Up for David suck Cock.

  • Although this is long ago now. The difference is that David did it 100 times better than Cornell. and Chris would later give props to David.

  • On top of the fact he did credit Cornell, let's not forget that the 1st single off his album was written by Cornell AFTER Idol so obviously Cornell didn't mind...David was original because he always made the songs his own and his voice was incredible...let's not forget "Hello" ...I believe Lionel Ritchie called and said he loved David's version...David has tons of orig music...Analog Heart, all the Axium albums but he is also the KING of covers hands down

  • @thedude1579 uhmmmm, who gives a shit? i've seen david cook in concert and he's amazing. i hear his music on the radio at least once a day. never once have i heard anything about Chris Cornell untill DAVID.

  • Moron,lol.

    People don't listen then they give their opinion,lol. by the way, i knew this version from Chris and liked it. But i really love the Cook version wayyyy better.

  • @jeremy2009ify omfg . i dare you to sing better than him . none of the other contestants on the show had as high a vocal range as david cook does ! david archuleta cant even sing high notes without sounding like a girl, jason castro cant hit high notes PERIOD , but when cook sings with high notes his voice is powerful and still masculine . you are such a jealous fag ... and thief ? how many times do we have to say he gave credit to Chris Cornell ?!

  • the whole was different from david cook chris cornell was a low pitch singer dis is a bitch

  • This bitch is stupid she obviously didnt really do her research

  • i haven't heard of an idol contestant who sang his or her own composition. This girl is a dumb bitch.
