David Cook Wants To Hear You Sing!

Having no musical talents whatsoever, aside from listening, I won’t be entering the LO challenge. Just wanted to say how great I think this is. Loved your comments about the entries too. David, how do you always manage to exceed our expectations?

Susan - While I agree that MJ did not last as long as he should have on American Idol and I was saddened to see him go (although ultimately he will be fine - he’s already working on an album)…. what does your comment have to do with the “Light On” challenge….?

Thank you, David, for always thinking of your fans and keeping us involved in your crazy world.

Great job to everyone who has entered!
There is a lot of talent out there….

hi david cook and wordnerds!!! thanks for posting these videos!!!… (david is amazing for several reasons!! david’s a great guy! he takes time to talk with fans at planned and un-planned events…meaning during the tour there were “meet and greets” and when wordnerds see him off stage he signs autographs too! he’s honest with people! thank you david cook! also he sings different types of songs, he sings slow, and fast songs. his vocals are great, his vocals go high, low, soft and loud! david cook writes his own music! david cook rocks!)

dear nhcookiefan,

I appreciate your response to my comment, and I guess I didn’t make myself clear. I dearly love David Cook, for the wonderful person he is, and for his phenomenal talent. He reminds me of my 27 year old son, which makes him even dearer to me. I just feel that it was wrong of him to tell those people how great they were, when they really weren’t, and then to ignore the truly talented people. Maybe I missed something. Wasn’t this supposed to be a contest?

I am a fan of David Archuleta, but I was not comparing the two at all. First of all, David Cook’s song, ‘Light On’, has NOTHING in common with a story about two young kids “finding each other” in a diner. If you or anyone can or care to explain this video to me, I’m willing to listen. I love every second of David and his band’s part, but the storyline eludes me. Second, have you seen the ‘Crush’ video? A young boy (played by David A.) has a “crush” on a girl, and even though she’s with some brute in the beginning, he (David A.) wins her in the end. It makes perfect sense. ‘Light On’ video, same story: A young boy in a diner has a crush on a girl, who leaves said diner with a brute, but ends up with the young boy. It makes NO sense, because it doesn’t pertain to the song.

I don’t know who came up with the storyline, but it was a bad idea to copy someone else’s - ANYONE ELSE’S, especially when it had nothing whatsoever to do with the song. But (I think) the “challenge” was a direct result of people’s negativity about the video, even though they (including myself) were only trying to give David constructive criticism. Are we only on this journey with him as long as we agree with everything he does?

Lastly, I apologize for saying that David was cruel. I CAN”T believe that that was his intention, anymore than I could ever believe that my son would be cruel on purpose.

I wonder if you saw the video by jackie and jessica. The did what someone called “David Cooksized” your song. They took your song and put a totally different twist to it. They also did this with just a hand held video camera and windows media player to edit. They recorded the music in their bedroom and Riley was so cute….. I know everyone has a story behind their videos and my hats off to all who entered.

I searched for a while to find a stream video of David Cook’s “light on” video here at work due to surf control. Anyways I was reading comments and deicided to go visit the other David’s page and listen to his “crush” song. There is no comparison David Cook’s debut song is a hell of a lot better. You would have to be almost @@^%$@`~^(_%)#%(+& ed to think otherwise. I know everyone has different tastes but the light on song actually made me feel something. While as the David A’s song was just another of same sounding song as many others with no real emotions. David Cook’s song reminded me of the military over seas and I think that would have been a perfect choice for a video. Maybe of a soldier who had died but his soul is restless and he tries to go back home to his wife and kids. I’m actually a soldier and that thought along with the lyrics of the song brings a lot of emotions. I think it would make more people understand not only the physical sacrifice a soldier must make but the emotional sacrifice also.
