Final 11: Enjoying the Ride



Original Air Date: March 18, 2008
Theme: The Beatles


Before American Idol, life for David Cook was a struggle to make both ends meet. He was a bartender in Tulsa Oklahoma a drink slinger in one of the bars in their town. He was regularly been playing with his band on that joint hoping to earn more and getting tips from costumers. Playing with his band was the source of his musical background and training, he was a good musician. In earlier post I had mentioned about his brother who was bugging him into auditioning for American Idol. David had also mentioned about watching Chris Daughtry, a former contestant of the show, as the one that motivated him to audition aside from his brother.

Tonight, David Cook showed to us why he is likeable. After a couple of weeks that passed, David finally brought out his natural personality that will soon be loved by the people who watched him every week. His performance tonight brings out his confidence in the stage. He showed us how he loves singing. He rocked the stage singing Day Tripper and he sang it giving the best vocals for everyone. What I like about him in this video is that he just went out there in the stage having fun and loving the audience who are cheering for him. Also, I like how he was fooling around with host Ryan Seacrest after the judges gave him their positive critique. David seems to be a fun guy to hangout with.

Unfortunately, Simon thought that tonight’s performance was not his best. But David learned to accept his criticism. He said that he will not take criticisms personally but instead he will thought about it and apply it in his next performance. He must have figured out already how this game should be played and thinking he was still behind David Archuleta and many other contestants. What he needed was a “blow them all out of the water” kinda performance.
