American Idol David Cook

Incredible! Far beyond anyone's thoughts and expectations. It was so awesome, it gave me goosebumps. David Cook, again, takes steals the competition with his rock-ballad version of "Billie Jean."

I have to tell you, I was afraid for him in the beginning. I shouldn't have been, considering how well he did with his rendition of Lionel Ritchie's "Hello." As soon as I heard Ryan Seacrest announce "...Billie Jean." My thoughts were, "Are you kidding? What's he gonna do with that?" And then the introduction of a slow melody. And, as Simon later suggested, I began to think, "Oh no. This is either gonna be a huge disaster, or super freakin' awesome." Who in the world would have thought to have an arrangement like that! I mean, compared to the original..... He delivers a genius performance with somewhat strategic pauses, at the same time displaying his incredible vocals. David Cook is absolutely the most creative and talented, both as a musician and as a singer.

I realize how good David Cook is when I get disappointed that his song is about to end. And when the other contestants perform, the songs seem so long, and I can't wait for it to end. If you missed the show, check it out out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-Ke1zCWgI8
