American Idol 7 Top 9 – David Cook
April 2, 2008 by Jeanne
David Cook is next and before his mentoring moment with Dolly, he listed ALL of the arrangements he has used in the past weeks. CAN WE LET IT GO NOW ATTENTION SEEKERS? He made it clear that he is doing his own arrangement of Dolly’s song “Little Sparrow.” I like it! I wouldn’t know it was a Dolly Parton song! Randy said it was another hot performance and that his own arrangement was really cool, Paula said it was fantastic and Simon said it wasn’t as good as last week but that he should be congratulated for making a song about a sparrow good.

Hey Jeanne – as my final word on the band I found due to this controversy – one that I totally dig now… it’s too bad you think this was all about seeking attention… I guess that’s OK. Obviously, you are not a musician. Cornell said it best… the “arranger/interpreter deserves acknowledgement…” Anyways – here’s the comment from the class act band, Doxology…
American Idol and David Cook Credit Doxology For Their Eleanor Rigby Arrangment
· Seattle, WA – April 2, 2008: In a live on-air interview with Ryan Seacrest, David Cook announced that the version of Eleanor Rigby (performed on the American Idol episode on March 11th) was that of Seattle band Doxology. The band was in rehearsal for their upcoming show on Thursday, when they took a break to watch the show; they heard the unexpected and highly anticipated news.
· Luke McPherson, Doxology front man, spoke on the news that David Cook credited them for their version of Eleanor Rigby: “Re-imagining the Beatles is always tough. We worked very hard to do it in a fresh and new way. The band and I were thrilled to hear the mention tonight. We have to give a lot of credit to the folks at 19 Entertainment, and American Idol for working with our management; their mutual commitment to fix this issue was great; the support throughout has been amazing. And, most important we gotta give David Cook massive props. We all just wanted the same thing here, and that was simply to ’right’ the situation from a few weeks back. David did that on Idol tonight and we thank him for that. Now, we’re excited to just move on and continue recording the new album we are working on.”
david is an awesome singer. Simon thinks that he could win American I dol and a part of me agrees. David has a punk-rocker kind of sense about him and I luv that!
yeah he also went to the hospital after the show
Davik cook,
you’re the best, i love you!!
