Little Lies cover

American Idol winner David Cook sang a rocked out version of "Little Lies" at his CD release tonight. He changes the words a little bit, but I thought it was pretty good! Fun to hear a different take on the song. I have to admit, this is not a song I would have guessed he'd do in concert, but I'm excited he did! I told him so as well! Haha.

I really like it too. He was really good at tweaking existing songs during the AI run. Guess it's his natural affinity for music.

Cool cover.

I like the rawness of it.

I am also thrilled that CM gets some pocket change and an introduction to that fan base!

Barf-worthy. Guitar parts are horrid.

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.

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.

Norah's cover is nice. It was a good idea to put in an instrumental break after the first chorus.

I like the "Little Lies" cover. I think it's nice as an acoustic folk song. It really brings out the emotion of the song.

The Shoreline EP is from 2005. It has some other great cover songs as well. Details here:

Nora O'Connor's album is also well worth a listen - a nice mix of covers and original songs.

This on GMA this morning. aplogies if it's already been seen and discussed.
good version.

I'd never seen this. More interesting is that Kris Allen and Adam Lambert sing it with him.
Cook obviously loves Fleetwood Mac. He and Carrie Underwood performed "Go Your Own Way" during the Idol Experience launch in Florida.
