David Roland Cook (born December 20, 1982 in Houston, Texas) is an American singer-songwriter and musician, and is a finalist on the seventh season of American Idol. He currently lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma but was raised in Blue Springs, Missouri. He is not related to fellow Idol contestant Kristy Lee Cook. Cook auditioned for American Idol in Omaha, Nebraska, performing Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer". He originally did not plan to try out for the show, but came to the auditions to support his brother, who did not make it to Hollywood. For his first Hollywood audition, Cook performed "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" by Bryan Adams, accompanying himself on acoustic guitar. Later in the week he performed "I'll Be" by Edwin McCain. Cook has been both praised and criticized for his song choices, as several of his performances have been based on covers of the original songs. "Billie Jean", one of his most notable performances so far, was credited on the show to Chris Cornell and was highly praised by all three judges, especially Simon Cowell (Cowell later said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that the performance "was in a different league to anything we've heard on the season so far," and although he knew where the arrangement came from, "that doesn't really matter.") Another Cook's performance, "Day Tripper", was credited to Whitesnake. It has been claimed that his performance of "Eleanor Rigby" was based on Seattle-based band Doxology's version. On April 1, before performing his self-arranged rendition of "Little Sparrow" on American Idol, Cook responded to Ryan Seacrest in the interview session, revealing that his performance of "Eleanor Rigby" was based on Neil Zaza's and Doxology's versions. He also credited Whitesnake and Chris Cornell,even though they had already been mentioned on the show previously. Despite the controversy, critics praised Cook for choosing versions of songs that fit his vocal style. --Wikipedia
