That is so STUNNING! His voice is pure and beautiful and strong and clear and amazing. and seriously emotional. WOW WOW WOW! he makes it all seem so easy....so natural. His voice is the freest voice I have heard in a LONNNG long time!
Of all the songs he did on Idol, I wish this one had been released as a single, and to country -- kudos to David for arrangement and performance but also Dolly for writing such beautiful lyrics.
Just so perfect. He's required to sing Dolly Parton, he arranges it and records (this studio version) and performs a 90 sec version on live TV in a matter of a few days. Unbelievable.
Oh my God, that was amazing! He is bigger than "Idol". Regardless of what happens there, he will be a superstar. I am quickly becomming "DC" obsessed too.
I didn't quite know what to think of this in the live version, but the more I listen to the studio version, the more I love it. I have a feeling that it won't make the cut for his first post Idol album, but I'd be thrilled if he would one day do an entire album like this. I've always had a passion for folk songs, and this is a sweet and sorrowful tale sung masterfully.
Oh My! That was absolutely beautiful! Ok Ok I'm crying right now. This is the first time I've heard the studio version of this one and I must say it was incredible! DC nailed this one but in a much different way. I wish he could have done the complete version LIVE. Sooo touching and his voice was PERFECT! Who says this boy can't sing? I keep hearing this from the bashers and I just don't get it. Cookie you are quite the performer! DC CAN DO IT ALL AND DO IT SO WELL!
i really like all your vids. nice feel to them. and of course, i LOVEloveLOVE that hunk of gorgeousness called David Cook =]=] that voice breaks my heart everytime =D
This is beautiful!! I love his voice. I will buy is next CD. I have enjoyed Analog Heart, there's not a bad song in the bunch. 3 or 4 of the songs are radio ready, if not more.
I love David Cook!! I think he's awesome and I hope he wins this season. I love him and David Archuleta but I don't want Archuleta to win because he's just so young (I hope he's at least in the top 2 or 3 though). David Cook has the star quality and is just amazing.
Love DAVID COOK from the beginning Didnt think he could get any better but hell that he did!!!!!LOL So glad He won AI Gladder He joined AI in the first place Cant imagine if HE didnt! Hell he could sell an album just by his Studio recordings and I would be one of the first one to buy it!
he will! I AM SUCH A HUGE BELIEVER THAT HE WILL! haha, seryoso! but.. it might just be next year or next next year... C'MON AYALA! GET YOUR HANDS ON HIM ALREADY! XD
at this point, even if he doesn't win it all, AI still owns him. The label that produces the winner's album also has first rights of refusal for the runnerups. Obviously, they are going to want to produce his album. So, I want him to win and get that first million to help him get on his way even faster. He'll be free of AI in time, and things will only get better after that.
You know what? If he ends up as the runner up to David Archuleta, it won't matter. He will blow DA's records out for sure. And lets face it, AI is more like a popularity contest (Syesha is great, but no one is voting for her. Too bad) and David C might not win, but it won't hurt him, it might be better actually.
I downloaded it when it was available during his season of idol....unfortunately I don't know how you would get it now.....maybe ask the person who uploaded this video??? Sorry I couldn't be of more help,it truly is an amazing version!!!
I think DA has an enormous amount of talent but doesnt have the charisma that DC has? Maybe its just me. I see David Cook selling out concerts, and selling millions. With DA i see little 12, 13, 14 year old girls screaming cuz he's "omg so cute" lol. or the old ladies wanting to pinch his cheeks. IDK i just look at DC and see a superstar. I look at DA and see someone fading out it little time.
That is so STUNNING! His voice is pure and beautiful and strong and clear and amazing. and seriously emotional. WOW WOW WOW! he makes it all seem so easy....so natural. His voice is the freest voice I have heard in a LONNNG long time!
Gifted Gifted Gifted Man!
Can't Find The Words To Express What His Talent Does To Me.
David Cook Will Leave His Mark In The History Of Music.
THE BEST hands down. He's amazing. No other words for it. Just...amazing.
If he doesn't win, I'll die.
Still so hauntingly beautiful
The ending is so haunting and beautiful. His gorgeous voice stripped of all instruments give me goosebumps.
I totally agree! I'm a great fan of his voice. He's definitely my ROCKSTAR. I won't hesitate to buy his records.
still listening to this in 2012......so glad I have this song on my Ipod!! This "rocker" can sing anything...soooo vocally versatile it's crazy !!!!
Holy crap, that was beautiful. His voice is just amazing. Yeah, he MUST win.
Tears coming to my eyes...listening to David singing this Dolly Parton song...amazing voice :-)
god.....I love his voice..SO MUCH.....Thanks for posting this studio version.
The acapella end of this song is so beautiful. This guy is my favorite singer by far.
love the whole thing especially the ending, when its just him singing. just perfection
this is such beautiful singing !!!!
I love it; his voice is amazingly pure here...
He continues to amaze. There's nobody in his stratosphere!!!
This song is so beautiful. I can't wait for his album.
Wow, I hadn't heard this studio version until today (September 2015). Really, really good!
I agree, his voice gave me goosebumps..what a voice, what a seemingly nice person too!
Of all the songs he did on Idol, I wish this one had been released as a single, and to country -- kudos to David for arrangement and performance but also Dolly for writing such beautiful lyrics.
I love this man. He is the greatest male contestant they have ever had.
he is like a drug to me, i can't stop listening to his voice
biggest selling artist in the world for the next years, right there America.
now you vote like crazy for cook and make him the winner!!!!
Just so perfect. He's required to sing Dolly Parton, he arranges it and records (this studio version) and performs a 90 sec version on live TV in a matter of a few days. Unbelievable.
Oh my God, that was amazing! He is bigger than "Idol". Regardless of what happens there, he will be a superstar. I am quickly becomming "DC" obsessed too.
LOVE IT!! Greeting frm Singapore! SO GLAD HE WON!!!
David Cook should win Idol...I vote every week....Keep him alive...Daughtry got voted off prematurely!!! Vote Vote Vote!!!!
I didn't quite know what to think of this in the live version, but the more I listen to the studio version, the more I love it. I have a feeling that it won't make the cut for his first post Idol album, but I'd be thrilled if he would one day do an entire album like this. I've always had a passion for folk songs, and this is a sweet and sorrowful tale sung masterfully.
Gorgeous, pure, crisp and addictive...........oh, and the song was cool too! *wink*
I also want to add that this video is wonderful. GREAT JOB!
David Cook has a amazing voice

And Dolly is simply a brilliant song writer.

Dolly Parton is the Greatest songwriter in the world. God Bles her and David Cook, let's hope there is a duet is the works for the two of them.
this song is very deep. it's really nice.
Coooool. Video is also great.
i love this! i love all of DC's anwyay. :D
He had me at "hello"!!!
This is beautiful!! I love his voice. I will buy is next CD. I have enjoyed Analog Heart, there's not a bad song in the bunch. 3 or 4 of the songs are radio ready, if not more.
I love David Cook!! I think he's awesome and I hope he wins this season. I love him and David Archuleta but I don't want Archuleta to win because he's just so young (I hope he's at least in the top 2 or 3 though). David Cook has the star quality and is just amazing.
OMFG SOOO DAMNNN GOOOD
&hearts. hes amazing!!!!

This is amazeing, but for me M Johns is the win. Respects to Mr Cook.
Love DAVID COOK from the beginning
Didnt think he could get any better but hell that he did!!!!!LOL
So glad He won AI
Gladder He joined AI in the first place
Cant imagine if HE didnt!
Hell he could sell an album just by his Studio recordings and I would be one of the first one to buy it!
wow. i didn't know he had that falsetto in him...amazing
great vocals on this, DC!
Yes there is a full length version of "Hello" on iTunes. And I'm to see there are a lot of Cook fans here.
nice version of this song.
AWESOME
Yes there is a full length version of "Hello" on iTunes.
That's how the song goes.
The Dolly Parton covers were among the best of the season.
i love the song he does im alive and its so hard to find
@talinutza - Exactly! And I can't stop looking into his eyes. They draw you in and make you feel like he is staring right at you and you alone.
I completely agree.
If I were a little sparrow
O'er these mountains I would fly
I would find you, I would find you
Look into your lying eyes.
I love his voice and he will most likely win AI!!!
he will! I AM SUCH A HUGE BELIEVER THAT HE WILL!
haha, seryoso!
but.. it might just be next year or next next year... C'MON AYALA! GET YOUR HANDS ON HIM ALREADY! XD
Thank you :-)

ohh. thnxx

And lets face it, AI is more like a popularity contest (Syesha is great, but no one is voting for her. Too bad) and David C might not win, but it won't hurt him, it might be better actually.
i'm pretty sure it can be bought as a single off of itunes
Is there anything this guy can't do, and do better than anyone else?
a duet is a nice idea :X
請支持他~~
based on this,by far(now i am a daughtry fan) but is the best rocker of AI
I downloaded it when it was available during his season of idol....unfortunately I don't know how you would get it now.....maybe ask the person who uploaded this video??? Sorry I couldn't be of more help,it truly is an amazing version!!!
i dont like the Dolly parton one my self but this one rocks and rolls all day long
This song is about me
3:00
wow...
@talinutza I know excactly how you feel. But I'm older.. His voice is addictive.
Too bad there isn't a full length version of Hello. Darn!!!
he should put that song in his band
2019.
Don't worry. Lionel Richie said that as soon as AI is over, he plans to produce "Hello" with David performing.
@Driv3r14 same here !
Where are people getting the studio versions from????
i was looking for mindy smith's little sparrow. Who ate it?
&hearts

I think DA has an enormous amount of talent but doesnt have the charisma that DC has? Maybe its just me. I see David Cook selling out concerts, and selling millions.
