David Cook

Dead Weight

Ashburn

David Cook (and yes, he is the winner of American Idol’s 7th Season) certainly knows a thing or two about good music. His first album, Analog Heart, came out pre-Idol, and his album, Digital Vein, nicely book-ended that chapter. Chromance (2018) &amp; The Looking Glass (2021), he revived himself. “I was a ‘rock’ guy, but the further away I’ve gotten from that, the more I’ve opened up and found inspiration in the peripherals. I wouldn’t have had the courage earlier in my career, but now I have the confidence to go after the sound I want.”  A fan of Massive Attack and Nine Inch Nails, Cook always admired how they pushed the envelope and brought pop elements in to rock music. 
In 2018 he headed to NYC for his Broadway debut in KINKY BOOTS as Charlie Price. While excited for his first starring role, he was also aware the message behind KINKY BOOTS was timely and relevant. 
Another passion of Cook’s is his work with the National Brain Tumor Society, a Washington DC-based nonprofit that drives cutting edge research and treatments for brain cancer and brain tumors. “I’ve been very involved with the charity and am very grateful that my career has allowed me to do that. I lost my brother Adam to a brain tumor in 2009; every year I am part of the Race for Hope-DC and my fans alone have raised over $1.5 million for this charity. Far and away, that is the proudest of all my achievements.”

This is such a beautiful song. His Brother died one year after he won American Idol. This song is just heart felt!

Needed to find this song again.  David Cook is one of the very best to ever be on AI.  Love his voice.

Who&#39;s here with for this timeless masterpiece!! Never feels enough

I went to see the American Idol tour show when David&#39;s season was done. It was the Top Ten finalists. What a fantastic show!

I have never heard a more beautiful and soulful voice. His voice touchs my heart.

David Cook win in AI was a thrilling experience. I&#39;m glad he&#39;s doing well enough unlike other winners who seems to have disappeared. I am a big fan. I hope I will have the chance to attend his concert live sometime in the future when this upside down world is back to normal.

Getting married to this song on Valentine&#39;s Day 2015. Thank you, David - you nailed this.

David Cook is a wonderful singer.  His voice is so beautiful, yet masculine.

ALL OF THE BEST IDOLS SHOULD DO A TOUR TOGETHER!  DAUGHTRY, DAVE COOK, ADAM LAMBERT AND OTHERS.

Pitch Perfect brought me to The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club brought me to Simple Minds. Simple Minds brought me here : )

I love the way David makes this poppy song and mixes a little grit &amp; growl in it. Great cover.

I heard the original on the radio the other day and I felt nostalgic....then when David Cook&#39;s version came on on my I pod I got goosebumps and my heart started to beat a little faster!! It&#39;s that voice of his that gets to me evey time!! I wouldn&#39;t say one is better than the other they are just different...and right now I love different!!!!

At 59 years old, I have heard a LOT of rock in my life!  David always brings a fresh approach, a new way of expression, and it&#39;s not just someone else singing an old song.  The song becomes new, exciting and a welcome addition to any playlist generated.  And then there is David himself, with an electricity and excitement all his own that makes every song spectacular!

David&#39;s voice gives this cover an edge the original didn&#39;t have which updates the vibe without trashing the goodness of the original. Excellent choice for the Idol exit song, a hopeful sentiment. Simon Fuller (Idol producer) is a genius for selecting this song and David to perform it.

That breathy tone of his gets under my skin every time! Bravo David, bravo!

Yes, this song suits his voice. Of course. (I miss listening to his songs!)

I&#39;m so glad David got chosen to sing the boot song. What a voice!  His album is going to be so good.

I have been watching Idol since Season 1 and I have wracked my brains but cannot recall a single contestant as nice, sincere or humble as David Cook -- or one as talented. He is truly one of a kind.

We are so proud of you, David!

Thank you for being so incredible, David. I&#39;m glad we will get to &quot;meet&quot; you and get to know you through these. You have a beautiful heart and soul, and I&#39;m so glad that you won American Idol. You really deserved it. Much love, Melanie.

omg, I couldn&#39;t be happier that he won! I voted for him and supported him throughout the competition, and my adoration for him has only grown as I&#39;ve seen that he&#39;s also a good and kind-hearted person. This right here also proves that. He is trying to include all of his fans and keeps saying &quot;we&quot;, and thanking us, etc. Wow, he is truly an American Idol we can be proud of and honored to support. Thank YOU David Cook!
