I want to see Cook and Bono and The Edge together.

He did a totally awesome job, I thought. David Cook is the new Bono.

Did I say that?

I thought he did a good job. I’ve been a David Cook fan since “Hello” (get it? He had me at Hello…ha ha) and before the show thought, “OK now, don’t make me hate you”. But I actually liked it and thought he did a good job.

Not being American, I took a look over at YouTube to see if this was any good. The clip’s up, and surprisingly, he’s not bad. The standard jokes about “We’ve found what we’re looking for” were made, and David looks like he’s taken some lessons from Bono when it comes to audience interaction.

Usually I shy away from U2 covers, especially on Idol shows, but this wasn’t half bad.

No, please!! I totally hate David Cook, at least I can stand Archuleta singing, but Cook feels the need to make every song a “hard rock” song. Like with Eleanor Rigby. He totally ruined it, so if he turns ISHFWILF, a gospel song, into a “rock” song I’d feel so revolted…

interesting. melody wise, it’s not that big of a stretch for David C– no soaring octaves. if he does a low-key ‘emo’ version i’ll be disappointed. This song’s got punch!
