Normally I like it when a Christine song gets a muscular, garage-band treatment. But what a stiff this guy is. He has no stage presence whatsoever. The way he hides his face with his hands over the mike is pathetic. Did you say he's an American Idol winner? Man, am I glad I don't watch that show.

I don't so much mind the guitar playing. Like I said, I enjoy a twist like this on a Chris song. But the band needs a different vocalist, and fast.

I do give him credit for good taste, however.

I hated him on Idol. I wanted Michael Johns to win.

And I still do.
And he ruined this song.
He fails.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I haven't even heard it yet. But could it be worse than Michael Johns' "Go Your Own Way"? I still can't believe Archuleta didn't win (oh don't get me started).

ETA: Now that I've heard it... YUCK! This guy is to music what anti-matter is to matter.

David Cook always looks greasy and unwashed. His three pre-Idol albums stink. His success on Idol was mostly due to arrangements he stole from other musicians and passed off as his own. That, and he used his sick brother to pull the sympathy vote.

That poor little kid who gasps every time he speaks had a better singing voice.

This is the article I wrote the day of the finale, before the winner was announced:

but really... don't get me started on American Idol.

Archuleta's impish quivering lip made me want to smack him - OFTEN!!!!!!!!

As for Cook - he has a killer voice. He is just not very original or varied.

Sad really.

He fails, but you wanted the guy who turned out one of the most boring versions of GYOW ever to win?

IMO he had the best stage presence and voices of the seasons. [Johns]

Yet he did suck at GOYW.

But not as much as Cook sucks at Little Lies

Well, the arrangement isnt the best...but i guess the audience is digging it! just goes on to show what a timeless classic 'LL' is.

i like cook's voice. very raw, he can hit some high notes. archuleta's too soapy for me.

Totally hate the guitar parts.

Kudos on the song choice but I think he loses a lot of the essence of the song.
