David Cook's Light On Challenge
NOVEMBER 6, 2008, 5:37 pm
No way you can sing as well as David Cook, but hey, you can always give it a shot. We’re asking you to create a video of yourself rocking a rendition of Cook’s new hit, "Light On." You can sing it with a ukulele, sing it a cappella, or sing it with a full-blown band – it’s up to you. It’s your chance to show the world how down you are with David. And guess what? The singer himself may very well comment on it.
Getting this done is easy. Upload your clip onto VH1.com , and then take the resulting embed code and paste it below. Visitors to both sites will be able to view, comment on, and rate your efforts.
David encourages you to put a spin on his song – that’s how he rolls. Check the video above for a short musical lesson from the master himself. He’s also going to be keeping an eye on all those creative clips that wind up right here. Don’t be shocked if he weighs in on which ones tickle him most on his personal blog and on VH1.com. You will be able to upload your videos through December 2.

Henry and Sammy sing Light On
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGvpzlmXh20
my husband taped it this morning-and I thought it was funny so I put it on youtube-my first youtube vid! Another first for me courtesy of David Cook. So, if you like, check out our Cookified kids singing their favorite song. Or anyway, the chorus of their favorite song several times.
It's kind of the slacker mom response to the Light On Challenge. Two months too late and pretty haphazard, and I am taking a cue from some other smart mommies I see here and skipping the whole VH1 part. Little Sammy (2) was distracted-he saw Henry was wearing a necklace with a medal on it and decided he wanted his and walked off right in the middle. Poor Henry(5)has a cold but I loved how he kept going anyway-and going, and going...And he totally mimics David moves all the time. So anyone who is actually still looking at these things-Enjoy!
10-year old REBA ROCKIN' OUT to DAVID COOK's "LIGHT ON"
OMG - or, to put it another way &#*#@!$*!!!!!!!! Okay, FORGET me trying to upload it. Just go about five posts down and you'll see it. David Cook, can you make me feel any more like an idiot??? Being 46 and technically-challenged SUCKS (to use Reba's word). LOL. Well, I did my best. Please look about five posts below or, if by some miracle, this one works....YAY ME!
10-year old REBA ROCKIN' TO DAVID COOK'S "LIGHT ON"
Ok, so it's obvious I don't know what I'm doing. Anyhow, I cut out all the "I SUCK" parts and pieced it together...as I said below, you'll see my hatchet job...Reba has been getting good ratings with the youtube link, but I wanted to try to do this the way it was intended. I'm learning for next time! Plus, I know I am biased, but I think Reba did FANTASTIC! Take care and Happiest of Holidays!
10-year old REBA ROCKIN' to DAVID COOK's "LIGHT ON"
Mom cut out all the "I suck" comments, so I pieced it together, but it is my first time doing that so.....well, you'll see. Reba worked so hard on this. She doesn't take voice lessons or anything, she just practices guitar and takes viola lessons at school. Thanks for watching this 10-year old David Cook FAN!

Reba's Entry is going to be seen if I have to get no sleep for 36 hours!
REBA and DAVID COOK'S LIGHT ON CONTEST
PLEASE, PLEASE WATCH THIS! I AM THE MOM RESPONSIBLE FOR UPLOADING, AND I AM SO DUMB, I COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT FOR DAYS. FIRST NO AUDIO, THEN A SPLIT GREEN SCREEN, AND THEN NOTHING, AND NOW THIS.
REBA IS 10-YEARS OLD AND WORKED HARD ON THIS. PLEASE WATCH!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loJs-cLlo60
YES, I KNOW I AM SHOUTING. I JUST REALLY WANT YOU TO WATCH THIS VIDEO! IT WOULD MEAN THE WORLD TO REBA!
Thanks from a frustrated Mom!

"Light On" By Kayleigh
I thought it was okay for being at the last minute! Originally my friend and i were going to do a duet and she was going to play the keyboard however she dislocated her jaw which doesnt work well when you are trying to sing. So, please vote nicely, i learned this in less than 2 weeks, and is my first song attempt at singing AND playing. VH1 didnt work for me either so please take the time to actually click on the link, even though its not quite as easy and clicking play on a video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIAlT_N1Va4
WOW!! I Can't Believe I DID THIS!!! OAR GIRLS UP NORTH ROCK!!!
I just wanted to put myself out for some torture today and have some fun with it as well. My video turned out darker than I had expected. Oh well, I'm a rookie at this, so be kind.................

My Last Minute Video Entry
Hey guys! I know it's the 3rd of December already here in Manila. But since it's still the 2nd over in the US, this should count, right? ;p
Anyway, I'm not a good singer, but I do love playing the guitar. So I decided to make this video anyway since it is a great song. Go easy on me then, okay? =) Also, please forgive the crappy audio. The audio recording program I used sucks. But hey... I hope you enjoy the video and vote!
Thanks and cheers!
P.S. In case the embedding doesn't work (as it hasn't for most of you), here's the links:

Hope this works this time... sorry, I know extra posts are annoying. Again, I'm singing acapella, and please be nice, lol! Thanks, everybody.
Light On Challenge Submission
Hey guys! I didn't have anyone to play an instrument for me, so I'm singing acapella. There's really not much else to say except... be nice please! lol. Thanks much to everybody watching and to the David Cook crew for the opportunity. (Oh, and I hope this works... I'm not exactly computer-savvy.)

Light On take 2
I think I got it this time. For me, this has not been a Light On challenge; it has been a computer challenge!
My first attempt at Light On
Maybe this one will work.
"Light On" by Lorra & Kaitlin!
This is a little crappy, but it was a lot of fun!

My 2nd attempt at the Light On challenge
I realize the shortcoming of this but I am out of time. I had a cold so I tried to wait for it to go away. That'll teach me to wait till the last minute!
Light On Challenge - take 1
Here is my first try at Light On from a few weeks ago. I wanted to redo it but I got a cold and I've been waiting for it to go away. I redid it yesterday but now I can't get it up to either youtube or vh1. Since today is the deadline, I'll enter this one and keep working on trying to get the other one up.
Light On
[I do not know what the deal is with that green space in the beginning. Sorry, I'm such an amateur!]
David, if there's anything you've taught me this year, it's that every once in a while, you should do something completely unexpected of you. Sometimes the risk pays off, right?
So here it is: my cover of "Light On".

My Feeble Attempt
Yes, I'm not a singer. Ha ha. It's meant to be more concept driven. And yes I should have been studying today, but Organic Chem just isn't as much fun.
grrr.
this thing is really starting to make me mad.
so whatever,
here's the youtube link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3AWZrBJqLw
ill try to get it on vh1 later if i can.
Light On!
okay, so when i tried to upload this to vh1 it wouldnt work, so i uploaded it to youtube instead and i'm just posting it here :].
also, i'm sorry that this isn't more fun and its just me sitting there. i really wanted to make it fun but i've seriously had zero time to do this, so i hope you like it anyway!
love you David!
Light On by...ME! try 2
Hey, this is my second try at posting this. Someone suggested I try embedding it to see how that went, so I'm going to try! And if it doesn't work, sorry! If the webnerds (iloveyouguys!) could scratch the other one?
Once again, David, I love you and wish you all the best in a career that I plan to follow and support.
And I am currently in voice lessons with someone you should know...Kelli Ann Lotrich!!
She speaks very highly of you, only confirming the good things I've come to conclude on my own!
I Hope you enjoy the video, and be kind, I did have a sinus infection when I recorded this...and I am sure I could do better if I was healthier!

Let's try this again - Light On by Mary Ellen and Twins
Sorry, it wasn't working and it won't let me delete my last post.
Wow, this was embarrassing! I've never sang in front of people before, let alone in front of the world...but hey, it's for you, David, so I made an exception!
My 11 year old daughters and I had a lot of fun filming this (for the first 24 hours, anyway....)!
Check out the bloopers at the end...with kids, outtakes are certainly plentiful (and pretty hilarious).
In case this doesn't work again, here's the VH1 link to our video:
