David C. gets my vote as the "sleeper" for this season. He's as good a singer as David A., and has more depth and emotional maturity. He's just not getting the attention partly because he's considered the "rocker", and partly because he looks a little sloppy. But underneath the mop, he looks just fine. All he needs to do is clean up a bit, and he'll make the Top 5, imo. Then, if he can demonstrate an ability to show a softer side, he could win it all.
Yeah, I'm not getting Simon's criticism of "no charsima". I think he just hates David. I thought the performance was charismatic.
I think that Simon just doesn't like "rockers". Next time Simon says that, David C. shouldn't backtalk, he should ask the crowd for a second opinion as to his charisma. When the crowd erupts in cheers, that will be the best way to prove Simon wrong.

As someone who virtually camped out on the the Sligh board last year (along with dozens of other snarkers), I have to say that I don't see the similarities. Unlike Sligh, this kid is talented, and seems to have a more pleasant personality. It's only after Simon's uncalled-for-criticism that David C. gets defensive. And actually, I think David was justified in responding, even though he did it in a clumsy way. I mean, criticizing him for liking crossword puzzles? Comment on the performance, Simon.

David Cook should do 'Little Sparrow' by Dolly. Find it and listen to it. It would be AMAZING. (Someone on another board I frequent suggested this. Amazing amazing choice. He could do such incredible things with it.)

ETA: I'm not one to argue that David shouldn't win Idol for any reason, but I guarantee you if he gets signed by Clive he won't be releasing that album. It's entirely possible that songs from the album (and even songs from AH) could end up on whatever album he does release, but Clive will certainly want to have more of a hand in things than just putting out DCook's independently recorded CD.

And how hot was Cook with his sharp new guitar on "Sharp Dressed Man"? Please, sir, I want some more.
Actually, watching that performance last night really solidified a thought I'd been having all day, which is that I hope he/they decide to market him as the frontman in an asymmetrical band a la Springsteen/E Street or Petty/Heartbreakers. In part because he's a "bonder", and in part because he's such a team player. I think that will work for him a lot better in the long run than "it's all about me."

I prefer the live version to the studio version as well. I'm not a huge fan or anything, but I think David has an amazing voice. He doesn't sound quite as good as Chris Daughtry recorded, but he's a much better performer than Chris ever was, imo.
A few ones
