American Idol 7 Top 4 - David Cook

American Idol’s resident rocker, David Cook, had a good night but not as great as it could have been.  He chose "Hungry Like a Wolf" and I love the song but it didn’t give him a chance to really show off his voice.  His second song "Baba O’Riley" (also known as "Teenage Wasteland") was MUCH better.  I know it was used to promote some kids movie so if you could tell me what it was, I would be so grateful, lol.

Hungry Like a Wolf

Watch David sing Baba O’Riley after the jump!

    I thought it was okay. But definitely not his best.

    I really liked the first one just because my GOD I love Duran Duran. But it definitely wasn’t one of his usual unique performances.

    The second one was awesome though, I really liked what he did with it.

    I think part of the problem was that there was a lot of pressure on him to do really well because it was rock week.

    Also, I don’t know which movie it was used for, but Baba O’Riley is the opening theme music for CSI:NY so that’s what I was thinking about when I heard the first few notes. Once he started to really sing, I stopped thinking about that because my thoughts were *ahem* elsewhere.

    [...] Top 4 – David chose “Hungry Like a Wolf” for his first song and, while I love Duran Duran, I was not thrilled by this song choice.  For his second performance, he picked “Baba O’Riley” (a.k.a. – “Teenage Wasteland”) and redeemed himself, in my opinion. [...]
