See David Cook’s Fave Spin on “Light On”

For the last month VH1's been asking you guys to send in clips of yourselves performing David Cook’s hit, “Light On.” Vh1 received lots of entertaining submissions. Watch them and comment on them right here. But the end date has arrived, and the “Light On” Challenge is over. David has checked out lots of the clips himself (see him assess a few right here) and he wanted to comment on one that really impressed him. Check the video above for his reaction.

i wish that people outside of the states can see this...unfortunately only people living in the states can, Canada cannot....being the word nerd and a fellow web nerd i am certain that this can be solved, optimistic as every lol

This was not one of my favortie songs, but the video has changed my mind!

Will you Marry Me?

(+.+) hi david im youre no. fAN
_and i wanna greet you belated happy b-day
_more powers to your career

Anywhere an international fan can see this clip?

Great pick.

I was watching the TV Guide and I saw your picture for the TV's Biggest Moments of 2008 and I'm watching it! I screamed when I saw the add! I can't wait! Now I just need to go to a concert of yours!!!

I think it's great that you chose this video as your favorite! Part of what makes you so appealing is your BIG HEART! This is similiar to what goes on in my house when we are listening to your album. You have a lot of fans both big and small!!!

Wow that was so cute....I think it so cute at that age to watch a little girl see a girl that little sing one of "David Songs" How could he resist that face...Yeah I am sure there were other songs that David could of Picked From that were more in Depth,However,David must have a heart for kids so that is were His Heart was for The Moment....I Like That Girl "Reba" she was good too...It was too funny in a good way when she sang..."No one Knows How Bad It Feels"...and she would make that cute face...Some submission should of been "Banned" Like "Calcutta"...Um where is "David Cook" Lyrics To The Song...????? I didn't Care That It Was Rap Either...But That Didn't Make Sense To Me.....Then Some Lyrics Were Kind Of "Offensive"....Does Anyone Eles Have Anything to Say About These Submissions That I Made Comments About......

I really, really liked this (super cute) version of Light On, and absolutely agree with it being chosen as the winner of the official Light On Challenge.

But I just wanted to give a shout out to the person, or persons, who submitted what I believe is the most creative version of Light On that I saw on both DCO and VH1; the electronic robot one. Heck, I don't even remember who did it or what they called it, but after hearing and seeing that version more than 2 weeks ago, I can still recall how impressed I was when I first heard/saw it.

So if whomever made that video is on this site; BIG SHOUT OUT TO YOU! THAT ROCKED!

Peace Out & Poke Smot!

dear other david cook fans,
do you agree thet he is much better then david aruchuleta?
If so write back. GO DAVID COOK Smiling

i know this isn't the official place to blog about this but you and your brother were great at trying to keep straight faces at the plaza lighting. that whole ceremony was you at your best. oh and if anyone calls you too sensitive, i'll hunt them down and let them have it with a double barrel filled with gumdrops.

I have to say, the little girl was cute...but I saw at least a few other submissions that were much more interesting, either in musicality or cuteness factor, no offense to David's pick.

I think the idea behind this was great but there was some lack of clarity about exactly what was being evaluated and why...and even if David was able to view all the submissions or if they were screened first.

I hope for example, that he saw the video from "yourface" from Malaysia, which is just a stunning female cover of Light On.

anyway....just some constructive feedback for "the next time." Everyone takes this stuff to heart and puts their all into it because it's for David. You certainly want everyone to feel they are being treated fairly. (and I did not submit anything, FTR).

Great job Jenny and Sophie! I love the song being accompanied by the piano. I hope you will always continue on with your music.

I am not at all surprised that David chose as the winner one with a cute kid in it. That little girl is adorable. Congrats to her and her mom!

WN #738 *** Almost As Much Word Nerd

hey david r u going to make a new music video? if u r i think it should be on "decleration" or on "Heros" because those r my favorite songs of yours except for light on and the time of my life. by the way i know ur a chiefs fan cuz i think your from kansas city but anyways its too bad that they have like two wins this year so far but theres always next year right?

Yes! C'mon! Overseas fans are also fans! Though we are far away we still support David as much as we could, and yet time and time again we are deprived from all these. Gosh.

you're such a doll! GOD BLESS YOU DAVID COOK!

I agree with the last comment. It is NOT fair that those of us outside the US can't view these videos. We are huge fans and want to be included. Hey Webnerds - help us out.

Hey Dave! Fans living outside the US seem to be getting dislocated, if you will from the events held on the site. I was stoked to see your comments on the video clips sent in by the users, only to be let down once again by the words; ONLY OPEN TO THE US..... I love your stuff and want you do, but on behalf of all the members living outside the states, we hope that the Web Nurds and yourself will make some changes for us.. if it's not too much to ask for..Thanks!

I'd keep the "light on" for David Cook.
