"Innocent" on American Idol

Unfortunately? Please. David Cook is a solid favorite to win it all, and I dont even watch the whack show.

He started off in some weird register and it took me a while to recover from that. I will have to agree with Simon on this one, he didnt do the song or himself any justice. Maybe I will listen again because i do respect S and S's opinions.

yeah, i sent sand his audition doing bon jovi for his first audition. that's when we both agreed he's a damn good singer but sucked balls at the OLP song. His Chris Cornell cover of Billie Jean was really good too.

I liked the cover of Billie Jean, but I'm not a fan of him at all. There are others on there I want to win it and Michael Johns was one of them.

there was something about Michael that was not right. I think he has an amazing voice - i dont know what it is ??

how i wish carley would pick some good songs, she has an incredible voice but consistently picks weird songs. I am a little concerned that no matter what David Archeletta does, he will win in. You cant beat the dialing power of excited tweens.

It's also hard to pull off a song where the lead singer doesn't have exactly the best pure voice.

It's not like Raine Maida would do well on American Idol.

I love Carly. I also love little David Archuleta-face. I know a lot of people think the girls are voting for him just because he's cute, but honestly I really love his voice. I think it's breathy and pretty and I think he will go really far no matter what happens on the show. I vote for him every week

I am really wishing David Cook would stay out of the lower range, because he sounds really strange and awkward when he sings so low.

This is to say: I did not like his performance tonight on AI.

You know, does Innocent even have any nasally parts in it? I mean, I found that the studio version sounds so over-produced that I can barely even tell that Raine's singing it in a lot of parts.

I know what you mean though; Raine's voice definitely has some qualities to it that are very difficult to re-create.

like his kermit the frog thing he does when singing live?

I think he might do it a bit on HIPT too.

Apparently Raine called David Cooke to acknowledge him singing Innocent

I think American Idol sucks. Period. Carrie and Kelly are the only two stellar individuals to take that show. This year will be another talentless fuck-tard like the others.

From EW.COM

EW! Have any musicians gotten in touch?

I got to talk to Raine Maida from Our Lady Peace, which was one of the highlights of this whole experience. He was just a really down-to-earth, genuine guy, very appreciative that I sang ''Innocent'' on the show.

I also read that Raine is a big inspiration to him. I bet somewhere along the line he will probably get a song written by Raine.

Why not. Not like he hasn't written for IDOL winners before..

Kelly's song was a big hit here.. I heard him and Chantal wrote songs for two Canadian Idol winners..

BTW I have seen Raine struggle with this song in concert.

Just read this morning that Raine will be working with David Cook on his upcoming CD..

That's actually cool. Better than Raine working with Hillary Duff or that Cheyenne Kimball.

Ugh.
Well, maybe DC will end up being a better musician for it. Because right now I'm nowhere near fan enough to actually pay for his music.

Lando · Post by **Lando** » 6/2/2008, 2:15 am

yeah but who's dumb enough to pay for ANY reality tv person's music?
