5.0 out of 5 stars A Tale of Two Davids, June 6, 2008

American Idol Season Seven should have been named "A Tale of Two Davids", and whether you liked the cherubic, golden voiced Archuleta, or Cook, the more mature "aw-shucks" boy next door, it didn't really matter because they're both winners.

This song was written by Regie Hamm, who won this year's songwriting competition, but you get the feeling that even though the single went to Cook, that the syrupy ballad would be more suited to David the younger.

Cook is obviously a man who likes his rock songs and monster ballads, and if you watched the show you'll know what I'm talking about. His versions of "Billie Jean", "I'm Alive", "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and "The Music of the Night" proved that he can adapt popular songs to his own special style and carry it off with panache. (Think Daughtry, minus the eye-liner, plus an appealing self-effacing nature)

Still, this is a good first single, in that it's extremely radio-friendly and at some point you're going to hear it on a radio station near you. Let's hope that his album includes some genre-bending material and that he gets an opportunity to rock out.

As the lyrics say, David Cook is having the time of his life, and Idol fans will be watching him every step of the way.

"And I'll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time
To be more than a name
Or a face in the crowd "

This song is a standard formula anthem, but it's perfect for a first single and is a great start to what should be a long and successful career. David Cook is destined for greatness and it's been great to watch it blossom on AI. As good as the "Chosen One" is, DC is the better singer. Just listen to his vocal on this song and you know you're listening to a hands-down winner.

David was my choice thru out the season and I loved every song he brought to the table. This song is another testimony to his talent. I'm 57 and still love to listen to the rockers.
