PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.

Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"David R. Cook" |
LAST EDITED ON 01-30-08 AT 01:30 PM (EST)So last year, I picked Chris Sligh as my early favorite when he blew me away with the Seal song. This year, David Cook is my early fave. Did you see his audition last night? It was one of those times when I was annoyed at the judges for stopping him before he'd finished the song - even before he got to the chorus. I like that he has a great voice and leans toward the rocker side of things. Could be another Daughtry... 
Check out MJ's Big Blog for more information - although if you go, you will see spoilers. Anyone else impressed? Edited to add a link to his audition.

 Thought he was GAAAAAREEAAAAAAAAAT last night. BUT, he'll have to compete mightly with the Aussie, and the dread locks not to mention little David Archuletta, whom has more charisma than almost any idol audioneer before! But, I do think he'll go far. He's got a great voice, and even if he doesn't make the top 5 or so, I think he'll have a career-somewhere....

Ok, David C, YOU WON ME OVER!!! You are my one and only from now on, unless you do something horribly horrible (??) to throw this competition to the wolves, as some of your other competitors have done (in my eyes)! Lionel Richie would have been PROUD, as most of us were, last night, when you came out and DID YOUR THANG!You are a true talent, and proved last night that you can truly be the one to beat!! Keep on doing what you do best, and you may just take this whole show!!!!! LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOOOOOOOVED IT!!!! Did I say I loved it??

He has already won me over. What an awesome version of "Hello". Not only was his voice great but the way he looked into the camera with his sweet smile made it even better. He has a sexy and confident rock edge to him which just makes me melt. Anyone else agree?

four. Bucky and Chris share a siggy.  Bo, Bucky, Chris, probablyJason, Michael. Honestly, I'd say Carrie, Kelly, Chris Richardson, Ace Young, Elliot Yamin and I could probably go on and on here, would come well before Cookie for me.

22. "RE: David R. Cook" |
David is my favourite. I like that he is taking the crappy songs they give them and finding newer versions of them. Even if his Billie Jean was modelled on someone else's, it was still way better than just doing karaoke of the original. To me this shows that he is modern with his musical tastes. I don't think too many of the others can say that. Some great singers, but if they can't get modern then do we care? (hello? Taylor Hicks? Are you out there??) The guy who won Canadian Idol last year, Brian Melo, was great at having a more modern alternative sound that certainly better suits my musical tastes than a lot of the other tripe. Here is a youtube of Brian doing Karma Police, which certainly went over well on Canadian Idol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jat_Q1t2G3A&feature=related

23. "RE: David R. Cook" |
Totally agree. He just keeps getting better every week! He delivers, clean, clear, precise, and right on the money, every. single. time! As far as him being a nerd-so what? I play in a band where our bass guitarist is a computer whiz-kid, loves Shakespear, loves acting in old '30's-type plays, but when he's on that guitar, LOOK OUT! HE ROCKS!What you do in your spare time does not (always) effect who you are in your musical life. I could care less if David beads bracelets for the women at the old folks homes-would love it if he did! He just knows what to do on that stage, and even if he doesn't win (because he isn't as pretty as Jason, or as 'cutsie' as Archuletta), he is going to be up there with Daultry, no doubt! NO DOUBT! Most original Idol, ever, IMHO. But I didn't watch the first season, so I could have missed something.....doubt it though, because except for Kelly, I'm not seeing much of anyone else from there going anywhere.

I think he's much better than anyone from last season. I also think he's has more ability than anyone else this year. I can't believe the way he did Billie Jean last night. I'll bet he could take "Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star" and make it great....  okay, well maybe not "twinkle twinkle little star" but you get the point

I agree with you 110%. He is my favorite this year too. He has great stage presence and knows how to work each song to make it his own. His devilish smile and nice eyes certainly woo me when he is singing into the camera. If he were to record an album of past hits like "Hello" and "Billy Jean" in his rocker way, I would so buy it. He is now the one to beat I think. Hopefully my voting for a half hour straight will help keep him safe. DAVID ROCKS!

Corvis--it's really easy. You don't need an ipod at all:1. download itunes software--IIRC this does not take long 2. create an account 3. start perusing the "itunes store"--search for your favs, look at the top songs, albums, or movies or audio books lists, etc. There is even free stuff! 4. when you find a song you want, just select "buy the song" and in seconds itunes adds it to the itunes file on your computer 5. you can then listen to it on your computer or burn a cd (or xfer it to an ipod/iphone,etc.). itunes even has a "burn a cd" button on the bottom right hand side of the screen so making a cd is really easy! You can make lists of the songs in any order you want on a cd and then burn them--I like to make a new cd for a car trip.

47. "Agree totally..." |
LAST EDITED ON 04-09-08 AT 03:18 PM (EST)Most of the songs are covers; that's how this competition goes. The trick is being able to sing well and being able to chose the right song "to cover." The boy has got mad skills and I predict that he'll make the top 3. I don't know if he can beat the 2 Davids for the top 2 spots, because the judges want a 2 Davids Finale, or so they hinted on Larry King Live Monday night. Regardless of how things go for Cook, he will most definitely end up with a record deal somewhere. I really like him. --Singer

I know some people were wondering what AC on David's guitar stands for. I just read that it is for his brother Adam who's battling brain cancer. They are planning a special trip for him to come to a taping of American idol.

WOW!!! David's version of "Always Be My Baby" was awesome. It was so beautifully sung. He just took my breath away. Then when he started to cry, I was just about to melt. He seems so genuine and sincere and not afraid to show emotions. It was also nice that his brother (seated behind Paula and next to Teri Hatcher) could see him performing live. It was just a wonderful night for both of them I'm sure. I just love him.

His other brother is Andrew. Actually, I started to like him at the very first audition singing Bon Jovi's "Living on a Prayer". He than had me at "Hello" and now I'm a devoted cookie fan and voter.

This is my first time watching a full season of AI (saw parts of 5 and 6), and I have become a huge DC fan. I just adore him. I've seen some talk around various sites with people debating whether or not it would be good for David to win it all - or if a second place finish would be better, given potentially additional opportunities for creativity. What do you all think? As far as I can tell, this hasn't been discussed in this thread.

In the new TV Guide with the final 3 on the cover, he says he does want to win, out of pride and respect for all the other contestants. So I guess that answers my question!

anyone outside of the mold ultimately doesn't stand a chance on AI - witness Jason Castro. I believe David Cook will end up #3 or #2 and will be the better for it. I think David A. is still The Chosen One and my only hope is that the judges & AI machine end up getting more than they bargained for in dealing with his dad.

I always noticed how his forehead seemed to keep on going up up up... ... but when him and Ryan Seacrust were standing together, that's when I realized that something was dis-proportionately wrong. Maybe Ryan's head is just small, yeah, maybe that's it. Nope... Standing by ANYBODY... David Cook's head is like a big ballon, waiting to pop. \ | / BOOM / | \ /end of rant...

You're right, his head does seem large! Maybe that's what keeps him head and shoulders above his competition. BTW Ryan is a pin head, so it's hard to compare him to Ryan.
