Round #3 is singer's choice.
Cook chooses "The World I Know"--the unplugged version. He plays an acoustic guitar.
Between these two, Cook is clearly the more polished performer.
Excellent job! He tears up at the end.
Randy: You're showing people tonight a lot of different sides of David Cook. Very nice job, Dude. Very nice.
Paula: You're standing in your truth. You're delivering songs of integrity.
Simon: I want to say publicly that you are one of the nicest, most sincere contestants we've ever had. Completely the wrong song choice for you. (WHAT?--roaring boos from the audience) You should have chose Billie Jean or Hello.
Cook: The way I look at it, why do something I've already done?
The audience cheers. He has a point.
Next up will be Monchichi singing another predictable Monchichi song: Imagine.
I know they say that David’s singing of Imagine is good but honestly how can you compare it with the original? I think Lennon does it so much better. David is too slow and methodical with the lyrics.
