All about THE VOICE

I think we all agree David`s voice is one of the most gorgeous and beautiful voices today. Welcome everyone to discuss here about The Voice. I´m very grateful to magicalbeck, a professional vocal coach who has been willing to answer our questions.

bel canto 2

"Bel canto" - singing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

mujerfeliz brought this quote from Carpe Nocturne from the original "Twop: You Had me At Hello thread". I think it describes Davids brilliance and talent on how to interpret songs:
" ... But when you realize that the word "sing" is a VERB and that "singing" is an action word, then you understand that Cook more than holds his own:
- When you get that it is a dynamic activity to produce an unadulterated, raw, edged power from your lungs...
- When you become aware that it requires action to execute a ferocious range in the same song and sometimes in the same stanza (see the "Hero" duet)...
- When you comprehend that modifying, not just one's singing style, but one's voice itself, to suit different songs is not something that just happens but is something the singer must consciously do...
- And, finally, when it hits you that emotionally and passionately connecting, through "singing", to the lyrics and music that you perform demands a very active effort....
- When the above facts dawn on you, then you fully appreciate the incredible talent that David Cook is as a SINGER.

~~~~
The producer Rob Cavallo compares David Cook to big-voiced former Journey frontman Steve Perry, who dropped by the studio while Cook was recording DCTR.
Rob Cavallo:“He really is an unbelievably gifted singer,” Cavallo says of Cook. “There’s no song on the record that he didn’t sing in two or three takes. ... He can sing harmony to any of his songs automatically without even thinking about it.”

Hi Smiling

LOL, I sense it was a great choice to link ABMB from Eat Bulaga, thanks ladies Smiling As you, Earlybird, I may have watched it more than once Laughing out loud
It must have been amazing for David (and co) to travel that far and then be greeted with all that love and cheering Smiling

Hummingbird, I missed it too - it has become a very nice and fun thing we do in here and may I say quite "addictive" Sticking out tongue
Thank you for finding the video were I (we) could see the kiss for Adam up there in the sky. Love the songs you linked as well, but then again it is Cook so "of course the love"!

Earlybird, hey you are never too late to the party in here Eye-wink - I´m just happy that you participate in the fun of finding old concert videos!!!
Thank you for all the wonderful video you linked - fantastic - my happy song was there, just what I needed today Eye-wink

We have a break again till the 22nd., but we might find something else to do right?!

I´m a little late to the party again, but I think we can enjoy the Manila concert for one more day. Oh - and it still is May 16. at the west coast of US Eye-wink. This concert was so special, among other special shows Smiling.

Nina, I love that Eat Bulaga ABMB, might have watched that more than once Sticking out tongue. David is so cute there smiling and chuckling to the audience, and what an enthusiastic audience that was!
And ADaM is always so beautiful, like Avalanche and LOTM, thanks Hummingbird Smiling.

My #1 video is by ImogenPH TWIK, Heroes and Mr. S. . During TWIK the lights are really gorgeous!
#2 is Declaration , very good video and audio and
#3 a stunning mash up video of
ABMB with David and Mariah Carey.

I have really missed this. Nina, I loved the videos you linked. That ABMB is my favorite. I love the smiles all through the song and the little chuckle at the end is really something. I still get teary eyed when watching ADaM. I did find a close video with the dedication to Adam, and David throwing a kiss to Adam in the heavens at the end, but the audio is really bad. Just watch the first little bit then go to 4:40 or so to see the end. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiLxC32ugBE It is both a beautiful thing to watch and heartbreaking.

From the Mall of Asia I have chosen 2 videos. The first is Avalanche, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgO05AMLyso
just because I love this song so much and this is a good one, both audio and video.

The 2nd one is LOTM. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVItHd2Lx-o Again just because I love this song so much. This one starts out a bit blurry but it quickly gets focused and it is a good video and audio too. He really had fun with the 115,000 plus crowd on this one toward the end.

@iloveDCYES I think Jennifer Nettles has a too powerful of a voice for Dave's voice. (She also has too powerful of a diaphragm.) she's meant for a big stage.

But David can totally do songwriting for others. His lyrics have amazing meanings behind them.

I live in Chattanooga, TN, Dave came here I think as part of one of his tours in 2009, how awesome would it be to get him on the Coke Stage at Riverbend? It's the main stage that floats on the Tennessee River.

Hi / good morning Smiling

Yay a concert from Manilla 4 years ago - if I remember correct it is among the best concerts still for Mr. Cook?! It must have been awesome to try and play for that many people Shocked

I have to link to videos today. The first one is ADAM, cause it was so emotional - when he bended down and sent a thought to Adam - sorry can´t really see it in this one. Plus I thouhgt it was kind of cool that he brought the other David to the stage Smiling Enjoy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAH1jqENSLk

This one is still among my fave performances of ABMB - from that performance and interview on Eat Bulaga. Enjoy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoEYrA34Hz8

I've been listening to Andrew on kcradio.com and I've noticed he plays LML on a daily basis. Yesterday he tried to rhyme "Laying Me Low // Billy Joel // rhymer // timer" and I was laughing like crazy in my little corner of Tennessee. I had downloaded the app off of the App Store, so I can listen from here. He also played Always Be My Baby.

Thanks, FoolsApril! My friend & I temporarily followed the account (so we could find out more), but we'll report it as a fake here soon. Smiling

Just a thought...wouldn't it be amazing if David and Jennifer Nettles sang a song together? They are both so awesome vocally!
And for David to write a song for Carrie? WOW! That would be cool too!

Hi Smiling

I know this is a "new" video, but since we are in between old concerts, I just felt like posting this song. It always makes me happy. Declaration from Starland, enjoy:

marscookie:
Does anyone know if David has recently (since LML dropped) made an Instagram?
------------------------------------------------

No. The instagram.com/thedavidcook account is NOT David, nor is it affiliated in any way.

Cheers! Lisa

Happy Mother's Day to all whom it applies to.

Hi Smiling

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to those who are celebrating today Smiling

Hi Smiling

Opabinia, thank you very much for sharing that homecoming video Smiling Such great memories and I still get teary eyed and happy when I watch it.
I can follow you in the "beginning of May was a hard / sad / tough period" and there have been a lot of emotion in the videos we have chosen. They made me teary eyed and some even sad, but on the other hand they are so inspirational, if I think of the honor he is showing towards Adam and the whole family. Hope you know / understand what I mean??? It isn´t always easy to do in English Shocked

Hummingbird, hey double post and all?! Yes, you are right there are other things we can do in here.
The VOICE is always a great subject. Especially on the VOICE thread Laughing out loud I think I´m at a point where I can´t seem to find new words to use about the BRILLIANT VOICE!!! Just when I think the VOICE can´t surprise me, a new song sees the light of day and I hear something new, different, he surprise me in a good way etc. There is so much power to his VOICE and many layers and that is really hard to describe, still after 4 years of listening to him daily - almost anyway?! If you just take a song like LML there are different ways he choose to sing the "oh oh whoa oh´s", so those "words" become interesting?! Shocked
I love the way he change his VOICE as he sing "So give me something to keep me sane...." and a word like "strong" is sung out short and long, but with two different "results".
The way he starts the song, "I remember when you lit my flame", how can you not LOVE that VOICE.
Ok those were my words for now about the VOICE and I can honestly say, that after 4 years I´m even more interested in hearing more and more - he (the VOICE) has hooked me in!!!
Can any of you tell I was in a LML rabbit hole yesterday?! Laughing out loud

Since Opa got me in a nostalgic mood with her video, I felt like posting a video as well. It is from when he sang "Baba O´Reily" on Idol. The "strange" reason for it is that I´m a huge CSI NY fan (not relevant to this forum I know Sticking out tongue ) and it is their song and every time it plays, I think of David!!! Oh and of course I think David did a great job covering it. I would love to hear him sing the whole song, but that is just me?! Enjoy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-IKaBTGDzw

Hummingbird, my friend Marliet posted the pic; however, I did a quick search and scan of the profile (because I had not only asked Andrew to get Dave on Instagram, but I also complained a bit about him not having one but having a Vine just a few days ago) but this profile had only three pics up and had well on its way to 500 followers and just liked the one pic. The profile has only been up for a week, since LML came out. And there have been more than one with the name of "thedavidcook" but we (as in Marliet, as I am a new co-owner of her Dave fan account) have gotten them blocked for scam/spam. I followed the profile just in case, though. If it ain't him, then I know what to do.

Sorry about the accidental double post.

I thought I could use this space to commemorate the 1 year anniversary/birthday of the debut performance on American Idol of "The Last Song I'll Write For You" last year on May 10th, but I couldn't find a video of the AI performance. I have been looking for 2 hours and I have to quit now.

marscookie, I don't know if Dave has an instagram or not. If you posted a pic from RFH and someone replied using the name thedavidcook, or even just liked it, it could be a fan using thedavidcook to make him look more social media involved, or it could be him just getting started.

Opa, thanks for sharing that homecoming video. I go on a trip down memory lane every year with the Idol performance of David's corresponding to the current week. I loved that homecoming clip from the show but there are others I have been looking for but cannot find. There was a video of the parade and David at one point put his hand over his eyes, lowered his head and just sobbed. Andrew put his arm around David to comfort him. Then evidently there was a very funny or maybe even slightly naughty sign being help upon the side of the road by a girl. Whatever was on that sign caught Andrew's attention, and he pointed it out to David who laughed and then acted a bit embarrassed by the content. The last thing I remember is that the girl who was sobbing as David signed her poster or sign and cried that she just wanted him to win so bad , was running down the street along side the car at some point after the parade, I think. I couldn't find those videos last year or this year. Maybe
I will get lucky again someday.

This has been a fun project and the time has been just flying by as we commemorate the 4 years since the Never-ending tour.

Yes Nina,there are several days until another show to celebrate, but there are other things we can do. Or we could just chat about the beautiful VOICE. Smiling

Does anyone know if David has recently (since LML dropped) made an Instagram? My friend Marliet & I did a search and a few came up. But one titled "thedavidcook" has joined just last week. There was someone with the name before him, I had searched a few weeks ago, but this guy isn't following anyone and only has three recent (within the last week) pics.

He's liked a pic of mine & my friend Marliet's, and it's from the R4H. Could it be him? I asked Andrew to get Dave on Instagram.

I was just wondering if anyone has seen anything about Dave on Instagram. I know he's got a Vine.

Hi. I've been trying to keep up, although some of the videos from this time period tend to make me sad, so I've skipped a few. 5 years ago today, David came home to Kansas City for his Idol segment. I watched live tv coverage part of the day, even though I wasn't totally under his spell. This: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kriG0v8yCJo&feature=youtu.be is probably what changed all that. I couldn't believe his poise, his professionalism (after breaking into tears a short time before) and, above all, that voice, soaring into and above the stadium, and straight into my heart.

Earlybird, KOTN just might be my favorite song to hear live! Thanks for the video!

Hi ladies, I just have to post one more video from "yesterday´s" concert. Found a great KOTN. Enjoy and have a great weekend Smiling

Hi Smiling

Earlybird and Hummingbird, thank you for the videos Smiling It was a cute sniffle banter Laughing out loud

Have a great week-end and there are many days till next concert, but I might pop in earlier, cause I can´t stay away from this fantastic page!
I just woke up with LML in my head, singing and almost did the stomp and clap part as well Laughing out loud What a great song!!!

Well ladies, I enjoyed Heroes very much and the sniffle banter was cute, but that Lie video was heart-wrenching. I love that song but I have long suspected one of the ways to describe that was it was about Adam and not a girlfriend. This video kind of drives that home for me. Of course, he could have broken down on any of the songs but especially any ballad.

There are not many videos left, but after all the cookie crumbs last week, I am thinking CBTM might be appropriate tonight. Eye-wink http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewPtBSrTxRk

Hi Nina! That Lie is heart wrenching, but on the other hand he was a trooper to be able to do the show in the first place. Great to see the support and love from the crowd.

Noticed there are quite many videos taken down for some reason. I´ll post you Heroes, a good quality video.
In addition to the hard week, the poor guy had a flu funny banter about sniffling .

Hi Smiling

Earlybird, smart lady that thread mom Eye-wink LOL

I think it is concert day today - let´s have a look! 4 years ago it was the Akron concert after the funeral and before they went to Manilla. I have to link this partial LIE, cause there is so much emotion to it and David isn´t trying to hide anything.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOI_ttGKsTw

I remember there used to be a video of Souvenir that came after Lie and the band kept an eye on David and I think it was Andy, who asked him "if he was alright"?! It must have taken a lof of David to go through with the concert. I remember there was a time where he said, it was like a "haven" for him to be on stage.

Hey Nina! That´s why I´m doing it Smiling, all in the same place and easy to find!

Hi Smiling

Earlybird and Hummingbird, you LUCKY ladies getting hugs from David via Maine Smiling I would be flying high as well. I got a part of it via Earlybird, thanks Smiling

Earlybird, you are totally spoiling us with your Tubey collections Smiling I´m going there now. It is so easy to find lots of goodies there in one place!!!

Hummingbird, thank you for the video Smiling I kind of sensed you missed my post, but that is alright Eye-wink

I downloaded kc radio.com, and I listened to about a minute of it up at my aunt's house while Andrew was on. (I didn't know my cousin's wifi code.) Andrew left around 3 pm my time (2 pm KC time) and said he had to go pick up his nephew from preschool.

You know, if it wasn't for my infected tattoo and the fact I'm sore all over from having a seizure on Friday I'd dig something up. But I don't feel like it.

I have to go to sleep; I have a neurologist appointment in the morning. Wish me luck, hopefully I won't get in too much trouble because of my medicine. :/ but I need my rest. I've been feeling sick. And I've gotten too many well wishes as it is.

Good night. Zzz…

Hi HummingB and Nina Smiling I´ve collected RFH and also LML videos on my YouTube channel, so if you want to see them all, there they are!

And - yes HB, I enjoyed the The Hug very much, felt almost like being there in person, warm and fuzzy feeling Smiling. Maine did an awesome job with it, I´ve thanked her many times already on Twitter.

And - thanks for the videos! Smiling

Nina, I somehow missed your post with Lie and Ryan's Breathe linked. Lie was beautiful, and a little sad. I didn't mind you posting Breathe at all. I never knew Ryan had dedicated it to David that night. Thanks for posting them.

It was the LML video that I couldn't view. It said it wasn't available in my country. Amyway,I tried again tonight and it is available now. Huh? Strange.

For the May 5th concert anniversary iamposting Avalanche. It isn't the best video, but I love this song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sN858tgAdq8

Now there is a break until the 8th.

Hey there EarlyB - did you enjoy the hug we got to give David and we got back thanks to mainedcfan as much as I did?

Hi Smiling

Ladies thank you for the videos.
Hummingbird, what video is down / gone???

Today, 2013, is an important day for David, cause he has his R4H - good luck to all those participating!
My choice today has to be "Heroes" - cause that he is in my eyes. Being able to go through with this concert, knowing what he had to do after?!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Fnmn1fw9-A

Great videos Nina and HummingB!
Nina, that Lie was so beautiful and heartbraking. You can see how emotional he was, even though he held it back. Must have been difficult to sing, what a strong and professional guy he is!
Breathe is a gorgeous song. Great gesture from Ryan to dedicate it to David!

HummingB, I almost posted the same WOHWWS, LOL! Good I checked first! The crowd was so supportive cheering to him.

Today we have another concert. I´ll bring you, again, KOTN where Hotel California appeared for the first time ( or did he say, they tried it the day before? ) Well, anyway, here it is! , Enjoy Smiling

Well, it is still May 4th where I live so I can still post a video from the Georgia Theater.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40a-KaEZ688

The crowd is really showing this "Hero" some love. It also has WOHWWS.

Ah shucks, ladies, They took down the Idol video.

Hmmm

I´m enjoying this LML on Idol right now. Found it on Earlybird´s playlists, thanks Smiling

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGJPhzHr_XY&list=PLx2esa0lRqGMdm8W4VnnxmD...

PS: Earlybird, I was too fast just now. Thank you for saving LML for us in your Tubey channel. You know I will go there Smiling

Hi Smiling

Earlybird and Hummingbird, you ladies are so right: David is very special and easy to love. The video you linked Hummingbird, still makes me teary eyed - so much emotion and being able to do that after loosing your brother! What a great way to honor Adam and the family!!!

Thank you for bringing the fantastic Masterclass review in here! I have more time to really enjoy the Idol performance today, so that is up here Smiling

4 years ago David managed to come back the the stage (where he belongs) in Athens and do what he does so well = entertain Eye-wink
I have to go with LIE, cause it became very emotional, especially after Adam´s death:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYXewu5iM9I

I also have to link this song "Breathe" by Ryan Star, cause he dedicated this song to David that evening, which was a very nice and friendly gesture. Hope it is ok to link it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhdaOHbFbi0

You are so right, HummingB, David is a true hero! That video shows it so beautifully. Still makes eyes watery.
Thanks also for that MC lady blog, it certainly belongs here too Smiling

On a happier note, I have collected LML performance videos to my YouTube channel. In case someone wants to find them later Smiling

Hi ladies! That SA series of videos was really fun to watch. Lucky princess!

Oh that Idol performance!! So good!! I have no words. Well, I do, but I found them at DWoP and they belong to none other than Masterclass lady. I thought this should be here.

http://masterclasslady.com/2013/05/02/vocal-masterclass-discussion-for-a...

It is hard to remember that the same guy that performed at SunFest on May 2nd and this guy are the same. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAj_4mP9AuY David is a true hero. To stand up and entertain 9,000 people with the recent loss of a loved one is a testament to the character of David Cook. Ya' just gotta love him!

Hi Smiling

Just watched the Idol performance once and words like: brilliant, blown away, wow, the VOICE, surprises and and Smiling I´m a happy camper and will go back to "Idol" in a sec.

Earlybird, thank you for the 3 part video Smiling Very good!!!

Wow, thanks for the videos, ladies Smiling LOL, HummingB, you´re playing with the lyrics, LML has took it´s place in all of our brains Sticking out tongue! Cannot wait for the performance of it on AI!! - And that H4T must be one of the hottest performances ever of that song! Aww, that CBTM video, LOL, he´s something else, playing with his fans always Smiling.
Nina, Heroes is so good for the situation. Just to think how he gave his all on that stage while his brother..... OMG, impossible to decipher...

But life goes on: Straight Ahead, part 1
David´s walkabout
and part 3
Sunfest was such a great and energized concert!

PS: just want to say: THANK YOU ladies for all the fun we are having in here Smiling

Hi Smiling

Hummingbird, I love how you included LML words in your comments about Earlybird and my videos Laughing out loud I see I´m not the only one having the lyrics in my head, humming or singing the new awesome song?! Eye-wink
Thank you for that HOT H4T - that climb is hmmmm good Sticking out tongue

I have a 12 hour shift ahead of me today, so I will post my May second video now. I can´t stop thinking about how this day is / will be for his family?! But on the other hand what a great way to honor and think of Adam - being on Idol tonight.
Here is my choice "Heroes", because of the day and I think big bro was "hero" in David´s eyes?! That song touched me a lot this morning. Enjoy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMAOpvyBdgM

Darnit ladies. Y'all are killin' me here. Nina, you lit the flame with that Declaration and EarlyB, you brought the gasoline with that KOTN. Oh my, the mooooaaan!

I didn't forget our mission, but I am a little late to the May 1st party. I think this is a good video of CBTM. The story is even better. Read the comment written by the videographer. Smiling

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTlUowwVX98&feature=youtu.be&a

Or better yet, here it is:

"This is classic. David Cook fans participate in cellcasts, where someone in attendance at the show calls the cellcast host who broadcasts the audio portion of the show. David knows that we cellcast his shows and he saw the cellcaster, asked for her phone and sang to the cellcast participants! That's our boy!!"

I decided that since it is already May 2nd for the overseas crew that you needed the flame to be fanned early in the day. This is the Hottest HFT ever, IMO. The climb!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBunyebE3YY

Enjoy!!!

Hi Smiling

Earlybird, thanks for the video and yeah those close ups are great Eye-wink He is a handsome young man with a killer VOICE!!!

I think LML is up again Sticking out tongue So GOOD Smiling

Oh yeah, we have our mission here, almost forgot, heh. Thanks Nina for reminding Smiling
Great Declaration, great video! I´ll give you another of Angie´s videos KOTN , beautiful close-up video. I think I never stop wondering how beautiful David is on these close-up shots. *sigh*

Hi VOICE threaders Smiling

I know you are all probably flying high over LML - I am and LOVE the song Smiling There are a lot of surprises during the song - hard to stay away isn´t it?! Replay in a second.

There were a concert 4 ears ago in Gainsville and today´s song has the same effect on me as LML = happiness. Here is "Declaration", enjoy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7R2n9t9kFU

I haven't had a chance to listen to LML *slaps wrist* but I did download it right after midnight. I posted a pic on a Dave fan-run Instagram I co-own with a friend in Norway, and woke her up by going LAYING ME LOW. (I don't know if she had downloaded it yet or not.) I'm currently writing on the fifth chapter of my Dave fanfic, like right where I left off last year Shocked and I want it to be posted.

I bought Dave's albums and put the on my Kindle the other day, so I can have background music while reading Storm of Swords. I need to download LML now. Smiling

if anyone has any story ideas to contribute, I'd appreciate it.

Hi Smiling

Good for all of you listening and enjoying LML - I totally understand Smiling

Arghhh, I´m not there yet Sad Cause I have some problems with my Itunes code (happens every time Shocked ) and am waiting for a new one! Technique and I = bad combo.
But I´m sort of on a time limit here and have a day that ends late tonight?! So I might have to wait until Wednesday?!

Sweet co-fans: please listen and enjoy LML for me Smiling Thanks!!!

I never would have thought it,but tonight, I am only in the mood to listen to my brand new download of LML. Forgive me please and I will be back on it next time. Oh, I did enjoy the videos you two left. Ow, owowow, owow........

Hi Smiling

Hummingbird it was a great show and it made it hard to choose only one video. Great to see you couldn´t narrow it down either?! Sticking out tongue But then again we have no rules in here when it comes to the amount of "old" videos?! Laughing out loud I´m glad you are in the mood for the old and the new?! Thank you for the videos Smiling
Oh have fun with the new song Smiling Counting the hours till we get to hear it all!!! Soon.

Earlybird, glad you checked in again Eye-wink Totally understand where you were at yesterday Shocked LML is rather distracting and I feel like every time I turn my pc, I HAVE to go check it out / listen to it. Can´t remember a song that had that effect on me - at least not for a while?!
Thank you for the videos. That kiss from Ryan was rather funny and surprising for Mr, Cook. Of course you link KOTN, the "sister" to the new song LML Eye-wink Laughing out loud well said Earlybird!!!

My choice is "banter and Declaration", but it was hard, cause the audio is not the good. Therefor only one from me today. Enjoy:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5an33tucusA

Today four years ago was the Little Rock show. There are some great videos to choose from. My first choice is Avalanche with a funny banter. It´s classic, lol!
And then KOTN as a lead and kind of a sister song to the soon to be heard LML Smiling

ETA, LOL HummingB, it´s been quite hard to focus to anything else Sticking out tongue
