David Cook Leads American Idol Charge in Omaha
by Mischalova at .He's not related to Kristy Lee Cook.
Unless you're simply going by the impressive audition and rumor that he's made it to the top 24 on this year's American Idol, just like the aforementioned early favorite on the show.
But David Cook has a fresh look and sound, as proven last night when he turned Bon Jovi's classic "Livin on a Prayer" into his own, unique serenade of the judges.
It worked. Simon, Randy and Paula all moved David on to Hollywood, anointing him as the only serious contender from an otherwise lackluster group of auditions in Omaha.
David Cook wants to be the next Chris Daughtry. It's early, but: so far, so good.
As American Idol auditions move to Miami tonight, we yearn for a better crop of singers and/or weirdos. Last night didn't have enough of either.

Hi, my two year old son is guitar playing David Cook fan...he tells everyone that he loves American Idol and David Cook is the best. Every performance has been great, but Lionel Richie's, HELLO, was unforgettable, when David sang it, it gave me goosebumps! I wish him luck in this competition, no matter what he will be a star.
