Theme: The Year They Were Born
David Cook wasn’t given enough recognition from the start of this season and I don’t understand why when he is obviously filled with talent. I was so confused and annoyed why the judges were giving praises for that stuck-up Michael Johns. I thought vocally, that lame and wannabe rocker was an absolute train wreck. His rock medley was embarrassing and he looked cocky from beginning till end.
OK, I just get that out from my system, obviously I hate Michael Johns. This leads me in saying that David Cook is a charmingly humble person. The way he expressed himself in his videos showed how intelligent, articulate and nice person he was. In this episode, he said he decided to become a rock artist from the time he was given his first guitar at the age of two. He looked so cute in his baby pictures by the way.
This is one of my most favorite episodes in season 7 because this is David’s first of his many big idol moments. Since day one, he had been struggling to grab the attention of the judges and the fans. But by the time he started singing Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean, everyone was blown away with his mind-boggling vocals. However, it’s the arrangement and his version of the song that blow all of them out of the water. He sang the song so different, it was slow, it was rock and it was amazingly brilliant. The audience was screaming and the judges got nothing else to say but remarkable. They pointed out that he might be the person who could win American Idol and they were right.
