If any of you watched American Idol, the 3 judges got it wrong when they said that David Cook made a bold move with his version of “Billie Jean”. I knew I had to say something. This dude, to me, has a great rock voice and is my favorite together with Michael Johns (who sings the best when he covers Queen songs).
Folks – the “Billie Jean” version actually belongs to CHRIS CORNELL. If you have been reading my blog for the last year or so, you would’ve realized this – I blogged about this song on the 27th May 2007. So, David Cook did a COVER, and not, what the judges think, made the song his own.
Jason Castro, Chikezie, Ramiele Malubay, Carly Smithson and Kristy Lee Cook should be eliminated all in one go!

Cool! Wasn’t aware it was a Chris Cornell cover.. but I’m liking David (COOK, the other one) and Michael more and more each day. I actually think this year belongs to the rockers.
btw, have you had a go at OneRepublic’s CD?

Izad Yeah, hopefully a “rock” person wins this, enough of bad wannabes.
I’ve reviewed One Republic’s album quite sometime back already.
tihtahpah Pointless, I’m sure someone would’ve mention it to them. Yes, I do have the song with me.

David Archuleta has the short-priced favourite to win since singing John Lennon’s “Imagine”. I reckon he’ll still win.
But bookmakers have cut the price on David Cook in recent weeks after some stellar performances. He’s a deserved 2nd outright favourite after being a big underdog in the early stages.

Bookmaker Archuleta is OK, but nothing great, reminds me of a boy band member trying to sound like Josh Gay Groban. Nothing memorable.
