David Cook Rocks Again

I know I'm behind in posting this, but later is better than never.

I've always been a fan of American Idol since season 3 (Fantasia Barrino), and every season there are fan favorites and some unexpected great singers, like Carrie Underwood in season 4. I didn't pay much attention to her at the beginning but she definitely grew on you and i guess the rest of America since she won.

This season is no different, i never really paid much attention to David cook from the beginning. He was really not a part of my pick to win, but surprisingly, his originality on his arrangement of the songs he's chosen just blew me away. I've actually went back to past episodes and watched his performances and i couldn't think of a reason why i never noticed him before. Its like he flew under the radar waiting for his chance to wow the audience and that came when he sang a different Billie Jean Originally By Micheal Jackson sung by Chris Cornell. Man, this rendition by David cook sent shivers to my spine. But it wasnt the last of it. just this past week, where their songbook selection came from Mariah Carrie, he did it again. Who Would have known someone would take a Mariah song and sing it like that. it was awesome. And this time, he arranged the song, himself, i think cuz there were no shout outs to some other artists like in Billie Jean. All in all, i can say, David Cook is a great addition of the American Idol cast, like Daughtry, and Bo Bice before him. I Hope you win bro, cuz rockers really rule.
