I love this time of the year, when I sit back, rewind all the songs that I’ve heard this year, and ardously decide the songs that have been my favorite tunes for the year 2008. In 2006, my favorite song was Hinder’s Lips of an Angel, followed by 2007 Bon Jovi’s The Last Night. What [...]

I’m somewhat disappointed with David Cook’s new self-titled album. I rooted for him all the way to the pinnacle of American Idol last season, only to see him deliver something which is so average that it will not go down well with the critics and fans alike. Some fans will be determined to like it, [...]

Even Chris Cornell has caught the Timbaland fever! I was surprisingly pleased with the combination of the two of them. Though, I think it would’ve been a super song for a NEW artist like David Cook instead of someone who is as seasoned as Chris Cornell. From Soundgarden to Audioslave to going solo. I loved [...]

It’s not too bad, though it’s nothing great, the melody should be good enough to pacify you David Archuleta fans. This is a type of song that’s really suited for Archuleta, bubble-gum pop, with pleasant congruities. He has always played second fiddle to the brilliant David Cook in American Idol, but it looks like he [...]

I haven’t heard of this dude at all. When I listened to his current single, “Heaven’s Table”, his voice has some similarities with David Cook, and that’s a compliment! So, as I always do, I checked out his album, which apparently it’s his fourth album and his first English album. This dude’s a French Canadian.

“So take a minute just to breathe and think of everything you wanted.” - David Cook. I reviewed David Cook’s Analog Heart, a 2006 effort, a few days ago, after Cook became the first American Idol from the rock genre. I was delighted, because I rate David Cook, a much better singer than Bo Bice [...]

He’s been my favorite American Idol ever since he did Chris Cornell’s version of Billie Jean. Although it was not original as the judges believed, it was arguably better than Cornell’s version. I predicted the top 3 to be David Cook, Michael Johns and David Archuleta.
I hated last year’s American Idol - Jordin Sparks and [...]

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 [...]
