American Idol Review: David Cook
I loved the arrangement with the orchestra coming in at precisely the right time. Although maybe not your typical Idol, beneath the long hair and quiet demeanor David Cook has obviously played his fair share of local venues and it shows in all his performances. He has a tremendous voice and looks absolutely comfortable on stage, engaging the crowd.
He reminds me of Blake Lewis from last season, but is way more inventive and creative. In my opinion, he has performed well consistently despite what the judges may say. I believe he can win this thing hands down, but unfortunately, this show usually becomes somewhat of a popularity contest, and starts focusing less on talent as the weeks go on.
As Simon once mentioned, "If this show remains a talent competition rather than a popularity competition, you actually could win this entire show."
Even though Simon has a penchant for meanness, generally speaking he is usually right and he is bang on with this one! I am predicting to see him and Carly Smithson in the final round. Even if David doesn't make it that far, or win this thing, I am certain he will still keep on rockin, will always have an audience (more so now that before) and end up making a hit record on his own.
When he does, I will be the first person in line to buy it. And if the music thing doesn't pan out, he can always fall back on his degree in Graphic Design, although how do you turn back after something like this?

Post a Commentit is HOW the arrangement is sung..It is like different women wearing the same dress..What I like about David Cook is his ability to just go on and do the best he can since the show has showcased David Archuleta as if he already won and having the other contestants waste time until David Archuleta wins. How crumy was having little teen girls come up and kiss Archuleta and having a performer want to go to a prom with Archuleta. If there is a wild card it is David Cook. People wer not expecting for Cook to kick but and he did. Cook will win even if he is not the American Idol. He is not just a rocker but a performer that can do variety and is not boring in his presentation of songs. Archuleta is overrated and I honestly hope the song choice from the songwriters is not chosen to fit Archuleta and if it is, I hope Cook will once again kick but and berlieve me, he will.

blake's sound effects got old fast!
I disagree that David Cook is more creative and inventive than Blake. Blake actually made up his own arrangements, while Cook has been borrowing his arrangements from other artists and bands. Cook is very good vocalist, though.
