David Cook
Sings "You'll Always Be My Baby".
David: I think I'm taking another step outside of the box.
Mariah: Sounds really pretty and haunting.
He doesn't play an instrument this week. But he's accompanied by the entire Idol band and backup singers.
Awesome job!
Randy: You are ready to make an album. That was the most brave performance. (Randy gives him a personal standing-O)
Paula: That song could be on a movie soundtrack right now. You're it!
Simon: It was like coming out of Karaoke hell into a breath of fresh air. Original. The sign of a great potential artist--someone who takes risks.
Seacrest to David: You're in tears.
David nods.
Then we see the reason why--David's brother, who is battling cancer, is in the audience.
