The performance David stole this week was Chris Cornell's version of "Billie Jean."

Would you rather he had done it like Michael?!

I wish he would have done it like the old Letterman bit andsang "The chair is not my son."
I'd have loved to see the judges' reaction to that.

That said, I have to admit he was by far the best singer tonight and about the only one who had any real emotion in his singing. Though Amanda would have rocked!

Chris Cornell...lead singer of Sound Garden and Audioslave. He's also tried to solo thing a few times.

I knew it right away. I actually love Chris Cornell's version and I have it on one of my playlists on my iPod. It sounded exactly like it. Everything was to the note. Even when the instruments kicked in. I hated how they gave him credit for being original when he just took the arrangement from someone else. Isn't this the second time this has happened with him this season?

Though Amanda would have rocked!

You know, Amanda was born in 1984, so I googled top 100 hits of 1984 to try and figure out what she might sing. Here are my top 5 choices from that list:

5. Pink Houses - John Cougar Mellencamp
4. Legs - ZZ Top
3. Cum On Feel The Noize - Quiet Riot
2. Sister Christian - Night Ranger
1. On The Dark Side - John Cafferty and The Beaver Brown Band (this is the one Amanda herself said she was planning on singing, and it would have rocked all of our asses to hell and back, chile!)

I miss Amanda.

You can play too:

That irritated me too. I didn't hear Ryan's introduction, but knew where Cook got the version. I just kinda rolled my eyes when they praised Cook for being so brave and original (or whatever the hell they said). I did think he did a decent version of Cornell's cover, but I think it's lame that the judges seem to be completely unaware that he was going an arrangement that had been done (but I guess that it's par for the course for AI).

This is off topic, but I really wished we could've seen Amanda's version of "On the Dark Side" tonight. Our Chile would've blown everyone off the stage

Say what you want. I voted for KKKristy, like a good worster, but truth be told--David's was the only performance we're all still talking about. For better or worse, he made an impression..... damn him.

Yeah but it isn't Cooks fault the judges are out of touch douche bags. (Except Paula, who is just amusing and drunk. Although I wish she would have worn a crown with her leather princess gloves and ass load of fake jewlery. She probably tried but the producers made her take it off:(

Anyone who doesnt know soundgarden should not be able to have an opinion about music, period.

He should change his name to David Crook now that he keeps stealing other people's originality...
