winded my way back to this today- this is the type of voice that should be on the radio - not the auto-tuned, weak voices that we hear so often. Sounds better live - that's a true artist.
Can't imagine what was going through his mind as he looked around the grounds of his old high school and sang -- probably for more people than ever before -- all there just for him. So glad someone got good vids & audio of these amazing performances of Cook on a little wooden platform, with just an acoustic guitar and a dream.
Wow, this is awesome.' He is the best. I love acoustic David. I love his voice. I love the way he kisses the mic. He is just the best singer ever. He has total command over that beautiful voice. Very nice video. Excellent quality. Thank you for capturing the essence of David. Bravo David!
I'm amazed by both this and the My Hero performance recorded at the same time -- just him and his guitar on a little wooden platform outdoors in his high school football stadium during his "home visit" for American Idol Top 3 week. The sound quality, his voice, what must have been going through his head at the time. Love these recordings.
Also been a long-time Bon Jovi fan and there have been many covers of this song. OMG, David hits it out of the park! I loved the stripped down, raw feeling of this accoustic version. I would love to hear him play with Bon Jovi on the finale night. (Or Chris Cornell)
jeeeez I sure hope david 's album sounds this good--- this bon jovi song with his twist blows the prig out of the water!!!! I think he is the most exciting new musician around. i cant take my eyes off of him he is magnetic!
this is a great version of this song!! it's one of my favorite sung by favorite American Idol!!!! it would be cool to see him and Bon Jovi singing it together!! =D
Wow...This is awesome! His voice is really really good. I love when he sings accoustic. Just him and the guitar. Check out 'The world i know' that he sing at Ellen's show after he win AI. So many Bon Jovi fan out there giving him credit for doing this song, it just proved that how good he is. Does he know how good he is???
David Cook can sing anything and put his own flavor. His voice is so distinct. There's just so much friggin' talent in him. he could sing Britney Spears and trump her with her own songs! Jeez!
I have seen Jon Bon Jovi sing this song live and i think he would be pretty damn impressed with someone singing his song this bloody well. Gave me goosebumps!
@dawashel1 David Cook most definitely has a CD! His first major label album (self-titled) was released Nov 2009 and went platinum in 3 mos. The CD's are hard to find now -- none left at my Walmart or Best Buy. But you can order from Amazon or download from iTunes. Cook's new album is anticipated by late summer 2010.
okay, im david cooks biggest fan and if anybody wants to talk bad about him you come to me first, if you dont have anything nice to say then dont comment on his videos.
its Em and its Bon Jovis 2nd version of "livin on a prayer". its on their greatest hits cd titled "prayer '94" its really different but its still pretty good...but DC didnt come up wit this version.
i think i know where he took this version from. it's from the 2007 unplugged version of bon jovi. if you check out livin' on a prayer, the chorus is similar to that.
Tommy used to work on the docks, union's been on strike He's down on his luck, it's tough, so tough Gina works the diner all day, working for her man She brings home her pay, for love, mmm, for love She says, "We've gotta hold on to what we've got It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not We've got each other and that's a lot for love We'll give it a shot" Whoa, we're half way there Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer Tommy's got his six string in hock, now he's holding in When he used to make it talk so tough, ooh, it's tough Gina dreams of running away When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers "Baby, it's okay, someday" We've gotta hold on to what we've got It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not We've got each other and that's a lot for love We'll give it a shot Whoa, we're half way there Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer Take my hand, we'll make it I swear Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer Livin' on a prayer Oh, we've gotta hold on, ready or not You live for the fight when that's all that you've got Whoa, we're half way there Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer Whoa, we're half way there Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer Whoa, we're half way there Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear Whoa oh

I love the original version but this is unique
A PHENOMENOM
i think i know where he took this version from. it's from the 2007 unplugged version of bon jovi. if you check out livin' on a prayer, the chorus is similar to that.
Jon bonjovi...💙💙💙💙❤❤❤
gorgeous
good job david! BJ stays the best, but this is nice too!

I love Bon Jovi and I love David Cook, his version of this sounds like Richie Sambora's version(which I love!)
well he was known to change songs around a lot when he was on American Idol
Nice!
everwoodxoxo: yes to what you said. WOW
idol dave king of cover,
his voice is way smoother than jovis. but this guy is simply amazing! respect!
2:40 onwards! David looks like a giant with the helicopter launching an attack. LOL.

Tommy used to work on the docks, union's been on strike
He's down on his luck, it's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day, working for her man
She brings home her pay, for love, mmm, for love
She says, "We've gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot"
Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Tommy's got his six string in hock, now he's holding in
When he used to make it talk so tough, ooh, it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers
"Baby, it's okay, someday"
We've gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot for love
We'll give it a shot
Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Livin' on a prayer
Oh, we've gotta hold on, ready or not
You live for the fight when that's all that you've got
Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Whoa, we're half way there
Whoa oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it, I swear
Whoa oh
i wish i was that microphone lol!
