Honestly, I wouldn't have heard the song if David didn't sing it on idol. And I believe it was the best performance on American idol ever.

Bottom line, about 50kpeople maybe knew about this song prior to Cook singing it. After he sang it, 50 million people knew this version and Cornell has gotten credit, so any pissed off Cornell fans need to go smoke one and chill.

chris cornell is nothing short of a legend.

[GoodGuitarSolos]

Cook has really good voice, Cornell has fucking amazing voice.

@xcstacy2 I strongly agree! I love hearing his voice do just about any song because its one all his own, he is one of those artists you dont mistake for any other.. I love his remakes, like his Billy Jean, Thank You and his solo version of Black Hole Sun makes me get excited about music again! I dont know why they have to be compared and people cant accept that its possible both versions ROCK. In my opinion anyway,

@cursonova I know this comment was written 2 yrs ago, but I just came accross it out of boredom from reading Youtube posts soo late at night :) I just really had to agree with this statement. As I said, I dont know why it has to be an either/or situation, I think they both rocked it, in their own different ways, so I really dont nderstand the big debate,, Chris Cornell is a legend and in my mind always will be, he will most likely sound GREAT to me no matter what the song. Now there is David...

I am a HUGE fan of both, of course was a fan of Cornell first and will ALWAYS think that man has a voice that should NEVER stop, but I did love David Cook on Idol, especialy his cover of Hello by Lionel Ritchie.

I dont see why there is any reason for ppl to be angry that David did his own version of the song, isnt that what they are told to do? Make it their own?

I like both versions and think he should keep makin cover songs but by puttin his spin on em, just like Cornell does, like Thank you.

I honestly never heard Chris Cornell sing, I never heard of him. When David Cook sang on American Idol I heard him give credit to Chris that night. I thought David was amazing vocally. I then looked up Chris because of David Cook. its a win win situation for both artists.

@liamsmommy81

better voice?? get the fuck outta here....Cornell is widely regarded as one of the top 3 rock voices EVER...try listening to songs like "Say Hello to Heaven" is u think David has a better voice....David has a good voice, that is all....quite generic sounding and not even half the power or range of Cornell's

[SayuriAyah]

ey chris cornell's such a nice guy giving off good comments on david's rendition (^-^)

[MissusFingerBottom]

David cook has a great voice but chris Cornell is the Rock God. You can't compare the both because chris is out of the league of 99.9% of the artistes out there.

@liamsmommy81 I completely agree with you. Cook's voice is unparalleled.
