Dave Cook: One of the top Tree of AI
Ξ May 14th, 2008 | → | ∇ Singers |
David Cook will be singing Roberta Flack’s “First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,” as chosen by Simon. Simon says it’s one of the great songs of all time and he wanted to give David a chance to show some originality. It starts out a little weak, maybe too much in his higher register, but he gets more into it and really shows off his voice in an unencumbered kind of way as it goes on. Randy says he can sing anything, and he loved the high note at the end, but he wishes that Simon hadn’t picked an older song for him. Heh. Paula reminds us that it’s about the contestants and says it’s one of her favorite songs, and he’s now the second favorite performer of it. Simon says it was one of his best performances. “This is what makes you brilliant — you take risks. … Round one goes to Cook and Cowell.”
