David Cook American Idol Rocker and MO Native

Although I agree with Simon that David Archuleta is the one to beat this season, there were several other performances worth noting Tuesday night when the boys took the stage. David Cook, a fellow MO native and self-proclaimed "word nerd" (love that!) revealed that he loves doing crossword puzzles. His performance of The Turtle's "Happy Together" was pretty awesome.


Although Randy said, "You worked it out... dude, it was crazy!" (That's a compliment.) D.C. seemed to take it pretty hard when Simon criticized his performance. Understandably so, but he might fair better in the future to take it with a grain of salt. It is just one person's opinion after all. Interestingly, when David C. was asked in an interview, "Who is your favorite judge and why?" His answer was, "Simon, because he's such a smart aleck I kind of can be too." Maybe they're just 2 of kind, in that way, just a thought?

All things aside, David Cook has a great rock voice and can definitely sing. We're hoping to see much more of him this season. . . .Rock on!
