David Cook Billie Jean Knowledge Base
David Cook-Billie Jean-was it his version?? Ok cuz I live in New Zealand and last week we had the top 10 perform and the elimnation(yup we are super behind..), and david cooks version of Billie Jean was AMAZING!!! but was it actually his version?? I read that it wasnt, and if it wasnt, he didnt do a very good job of making that clear! it totally seemed like he came up with it on his own... thanx sarah! :)
billie jean - david cook? where do i get the david cook version of billie jean, legally i might add? its not on itunes anymore
How awesome was David Cooks, Billie Jean? Seriously? When they said he was doing Billie Jean I was like, "Finally - someones doing a good song" & then it was all slow and I was like, "hunh?" but the more he sang the more I loved it!!!! How about you? Brooke White used to be my favorite but David Cook is quickly taking over.
David Cook's Billie Jean...? What genre would you consider that? I heard people saying it's punk but I find that hard to believe. But then I'm old, so it could be. I know where it came from. That's not the question I asked.
What did you think of David Cook's version of Billie Jean on American Idol? I LOVED it! He did such a great job at making the song current, and making it his. I was so amazed that it was even the same song... To those who pointed out that David sang Audioslave's version of it, do you know where I can download that version? I looked on LimeWire, but no luck there... Nevermind....I found Chris Cornell's version of the song. Really good.
American Idol: Is Cook's version of Billie Jean original? Or was it a copycat version of Chris Cornell's (Soundgarden and Audioslave) Billie Jean? http://votefortheworst.com/tags/david_cook You decide for yourself. Either way I love it and it was my fave Dave Cook performance. http://youtube.com/watch?v=uIvbjmQadSM http://youtube.com/watch?v=h_aiawC-9aM
What is the best American Idol performance ever? 1. Katherine Mcphee - Somewhere Over the Rainbow 2. Fantasia Barrino - Summertime 3. Elliott Yamin - A Song For You 4. Chris Daughtry - Hemorrhage 5.

David Cook - Billie Jean My personal favourites listed in this order...
American Idol, Did anyone notice David Cook? David C. kind of had to get a DIG in on Arch last night? When it was contestants choice after Cook sang and Simon gave his critique about singing Billie Jean.... David C said "Well, this is about progression... so why would I want to choose a song that I have already sung." He said that KNOWING that Archuletta was singing "Imagine"... Sounded very cocky and like he was getting in alittle DIG in to me... NO? I agree w/ the judges... Archuletta was there last night to WIN! I know tonnns of nice and sincere guys who are also very very cocky!! You CAN be both.
david cook didnt want to win? what do you guys think? Those were the 3 worst possible song choices to go out there and win the biggest singing competition ever. He shouldve done livin on a prayer or like simon said billie jean, something thats traditional david cook. Do you guys think he blew that off on purpose so he can get something better than american idol records? not to mention at the beginning of the show he claimed "the competition is over and they are just having fun." i know its the nice thing to say in the moment but its very intriguing thinking about it from this point of view.
Why don't figure skaters wear long skirts? Only ice dancers? Why? I notice they don't wear them. You never see ice dancers wearing short skirts, except in this which isn't a competition: http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/david-cook-billie-jean-meryl-davis-charlie-white-320.jpg Why don't figure skaters wear long shirts like this? : http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/6_cul6jRuhk/ISU+Four+Continents+Figure+Skating+Championships/7DYerdINuJ6 or http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7e/Oksana_DOMNINA_Maxim_SHABALIN_European_Championships_2008_OD.jpg&imgrefurl=http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Oksana_DOMNINA_Maxim_SHABALIN_European_Championships_2008_OD.jpg&usg=__mUbPm0INY9UAqN1k6jNkkN9qgsA=&h=432&w=288&sz=46&hl=en&start=38&itbs=1&tbnid=MyCee9cKzWa2JM:&tbnh=126&tbnw=84&prev=/images%3Fq%3Doksana%2Bdomnina%26start%3D20%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D20%26tbs%3Disch:1 -And yes i love meryl davis and charlie white, oksana domnina and maxim shabalin come 2nd My questions are: why don't figure skaters wear long skirts? and. Why don't ice dancers wear short skirts? Can wearing long shirts affect your performance somehow? Hold you back on some of the moves? About how long is the longest your skirt should be?

Carrie Underwood voted most popular Idol of all time. Jason Castro voted most Overrated. Agree with this? Also, Kelly Clarkson-Second fave Idol of all time David Archuleta Imagine-Best Performance this year David Cook-Billie Jean-Second Best Jason Castro-Mr Tambourine Man-Voted worst performance of the year. This was from an Official Poll that has been ongoing on AOL and over millions of ppl did it and the stats were just released. so do you agree with it? Yeah, I dont agree either. Kristy's version of '8 days a week' was WAY worse than anything Jason did. And come on, how was Sanjaya not voted more overrated than Jason? V! i totally agree with basically everything u said! oh yeah. Over half of the people who did the poll said that Carly should not have been allowed on the show since she already had a huge album deal that flopped(a 2 million dollar contract! Thats bigger than the Idol contract...) and 66% said that ppl who already have cds should not be allowed on the show.
American Idol: Is David Cook as original and authentic as he seems? According to the April 14th issue of People Magazine, David Cook acutally copycat the renditions of the following songs: - Incubus "Hello" - originial by Lionel Richie - Doxology "Eleanor Rigby" - original by the Beatles - Chris Cornell "Billie Jean" - orignial by Michael Jackson Does Cook have any ORIGINAL songs that proves he is as authentic and original as AI says he is?
What are some stand out performances from AI? Some stand outs for me were... -Michael John's We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions -David Cook's Billie Jean -David Cook's Hello -David Archueta's Imagine -Jason Castro's Hallelujah -Josiah Leming's Grace Kelly -David Cook's Music Of The Night -David Cook's Always Be My Baby
Who is your favorite to win Idol this year? I love David Cook - the Billie Jean version was brilliant! Mrs. House i agree with you about Kristy Lee Cook. Unfortunately I can't vote in the uk, and we see the show on Thursdays and the results Fridays so we are behind you guys!
As A David Cook Fan I can say that........? David Archuleta sang unbelievibly well last night... And David Cook just sang mediocre (for him) So my question is.... Did David Cook throw the competition?? I mean... WHY didnt he sing Billie Jean?? it doesnt make sense, my theory is that he doesnt want that American Idol record deal... he wants his own (that would probably be better, ...look at daughtry...) anyone agree?? opinions on last night??
Which David Cook preformance did you like? COOK fans..and lets try not to get haters responding with "none".. So Cook fans, if you had to pick ONE and only one David Cook preformance/song he has done on the show that you enjoyed the most what would it be? Its so hard, I absolutely love ALL of his preformances. I loved his Roberta Flack and Aerosmith renditions last week. Always be my baby, Billie Jean, Hello, Eleanor Rigby..man o man, so many to choose from. I love them all. but for some reason.. Bobba O'Rielly by the Who is the one I like the most. How about you all?
Who is your favorite American idol winner (based on the show)? I'm not talking about their albums and stuff afterwards but while they were actually on the show. Like when David Cook sang "Billie Jean" or when Lee DeWyze sang "The Boxer." My favorite winner was David Cook hands down, but if Adam Lambert had won last season, it'd be a trickier choice. Who's your fave?
did you think david cook was good from the start? like when u first saw him audition. i didnt even think he was gonna make it that far in all honesty. then i saw him in the top 24 and im like ok he must be decent. i didnt really recognize him until he sang billie jean. then i was like "....ok this dude's got talent". up until then i was just standing behind david a. then i realized...wow, he's just another kid for teenage girls to stare at what did u guys think about david cook from the beginning? anyone else have doubts?
What are your favorite American Idol performances? Some of my favorites: Carrie Underwood - "Alone" Jordin Sparks - "I Who Have Nothing" Brooke White - "Love is a Battlefield" Ruben Studdard - "Smile" Diana DeGarmo - "Don't Cry Out Loud" David Cook - "Hello" and "Billie Jean" ☼
What does David Cook mean by this? With what I understand, I think he wouldn't put out an album with Billie Jean and Hello on that album.... am I right? Cook said he would not be putting out an album of standards even though he won fans on the show, which is broadcast on the Fox network, a unit of News Corp, with alternative versions of pop classics such as "Billie Jean" and Lionel Richie's "Hello." "I think it's going to be a mixture of my writing and hopefully writing with other people. I just want to come out of the gate with a solid record," he told reporters in a telephone conference call. "It'll probably be a rock record. I just want to make a record that's going to make the hair on your neck stand up ... Even if it doesn't do well commercially, as long as I can put out a record I am proud of -- that's the goal right now. And hopefully the success will follow." source: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080523/wr_nm/americanidol_cook_dc_1 can somebody please explain these statements? THANKS!

I actually agree with Paula this week. I WANT MORE! I want more David Cook! Hot, molten, blazing, hot.. Most original contestant ever - Randy http://youtube.com/watch?v=QpX-kndqHnE&feature=related
Best song ever preformed on American Idol? What do you think are the best songs preformed on AI? I have three favorites; all from last season! Always Be My Baby by David Cook (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnWhilKmZTE) Billie Jean by David Cook (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpX-kndqHnE) Hello by David Cook (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxVzkZLzoLU) I believe David was the most original and bravest contestant on American Idol. He sang beautiful arrangements; I love himmm. :) Best AI winner, imo! What do you think are the best songs preformed on AI? OMG YOU'RE LIKE MY NEW BFF. Lol. But really, I am exactly like you! DC was AMAZING and GORGEOUS, too. He had a great heart, and Im so proud of him. He is MY only idol.. <3 Adam, on the other hand... eww. I don't care for him. Good singer, but not my idol!
Does Anyone Think That This Is The Last Season For American Idol? I think that American Idol will end after this season, because they have invested big bucks into this show, and the outcome is junk so far. This is one of 2 of the worse season's for me. How is it going for anyone else? Also, if this is not the worse season for you, which season was? Did we like David Cook's Billie Jean?
Rockband??? Is there any way to put the song Time of my Life, Or Billie Jean by David Cook onto the game Rockband on Xbox 360
Archuleta or Cook?? i like both but i'm going for DAVID COOK!!!!! he had me when he sang Billie Jean
Who watched the last season of American Idol and the current X-Factor?!? Who else thought that Austin's version of Billie Jean was not original at all and just a really crap version of David Cook's (American Idol) rendition? You can watch David's version here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_aiawC-9aM Let me know your opinions. Being a fan of David Cook myself, I was a bit bewildered by how Austin could even attempt to sing 'Billie Jean' as Cook did...
youtube--guy singing billie jean by MJ? Ok, first of all, i am not talking about David Cook. there was this video that i found a couple months ago and it was this kid doing an amazing impersonation of michael jackson and his song Billie Jean. i remember him coming into his room and some chica asking him to do the song, and he was like no, but he finally did. he was not dancing, he was singing. i think he had blondish hair and rectangular glasses. can anyone find this video? have you seen it?
Cook or Archuleta??? DAVID COOK fo me!!! He's a very very awesome singer, one of the best they've had on Idol if you ask me. He's really original, especially with the way he arranges the songs he sings, like Billie Jean, Little Sparrow, etc! :) Plus, he's a very nice guy; did you hear what he did to that little girl who was sick? There's an article somewhere.. He's a great guy =) I dont get why people think he's arrogant and stuff. He's confident, not arrogant. He had a lot of experience before, being in bands and all, so he'a more used to those kinds of things. He is so not arrogant. =/ Archie's good, but then it's getting a bit boring, when all he sings are ballads! I mean, you gotta take a risk sometime!! It's gettting really old now. =/ America, please vote for David Cook, he really deserves to win it all!!!! :)) all_italian_reject_9892: I'm 14, and I also think he's hot!!! :)) islander8181: yes, i'm sorry i forgot about that :) well who cares though, coz he's still freakin awesome!!!!! xD jade=): Michael Johns is the Aussie. He's gone though. :(( Sucks, right??? :((
Out of the Remaining American Idol Participants? Out of the remaining contestants on American Idol, give them each there best performance. My opinion: David Archuleta - Imagine, best vocals and certainly his best so far David Cook - tie between Eleanor Rigby and Billie Jean for me Jason Castro - Hallelujah Syesha Mercado - Yesterday, she sung it very well Carly Smithson - Come together was her best one i think Brooke White - Let it Be or Youre so Vain was her best ones so far Kristy Lee Cook - God Bless the USA or Coat of many colours but i never liked her whats your opinions?
what's your fave performance by:(season 7)? danny noriega,brooke white,carly smithson,jason castro,and david cook,and david archuleta? for me:tainted love,here comes the sun,blackbird,michelle,billie jean,imagine GO AMERICAN IDOL!!!
