Theme: Music of the 80’s
The path to become an American Idol became more and more elusive for David Cook. He had to do something to make more people vote for him and also steal votes from the growing minions of adoring fans of cutie-pie David Archuleta, hunky Aussie accent but voice sucks Michael Johns, and dreadlock two range vocals Jason Castro. To make things worse, the show’s resident and influential critic Simon Cowell hated him, his personality at least but hoped not his talent.
There was chaos on stage setting up David Cook’s electric guitar on the studio preparing for his rendition of a sappy song called Hello from Lionel Ritchie. Randy thought that it’s going to be very cheesy and he was confused about the electric guitar. However, once again, people in the studio were left incredibly thrilled when David belted that song and turning it into a powerful rock ballad. His vocals were amazingly precise in hitting the high note adding pinnacle to a rockified pop song. Doing that risky move was a brave thing to do but pulling it off was very rewarding.
That performance meant that David Cook was put back on track in the competition. Generally piqued by him last week, Simon was not even slightly hesitant of telling him he loved it. He even commended David for being brave enough to do it and making it work. Randy and Paula had always been considering him as one of the contenders and now they truly trust him to perform excellently in the coming weeks. The people started watching him closely and were giving him more attention that he deserved.
