Wow, helio, this is truly awesome. You captured David perfectly. I love this whole recap and LOVE LOVE all the photos. And WOW, what a transformation it was. I must admit, I was taken by him when he sang Happy Together. There was just something about him, even when he was talking before he sang, that I really liked. I didn't mind his hair from this point on, of course, I like it much more now, LOL. He totally had me hooked at "Hello". I was truly Cookified at that point. I never could understand Simon saying David had no charisma. I honestly think Simon just didn't like him in the beginning for some reason but David grew on him as he did many others.

I had thought that I noticed tears in Davids eyes early on but just wasn't sure until ABMB. I am rewatching the season again so am going to watch more closely. I noticed after the judges comments, if they were good, he would put his hands to his face, as in the picture you have posted, and then I noticed he always seemed a little teary eyed.

and please do continue on.............
