It is always going to draw comparisons. This week it showed (in my opinion) just how awful Big Mike is. Compared to Cook's version two years ago it was like nails on a chalkboard. <br /><br />Second lesson - if David Cook did it, don't do it. Don't even think about doing it because noone and I mean noone can cover a song the way he can. Jumpin' Jack Flash being the most recent performance (on iTunes by the way). Every song Cook does, is either better or as good as the original like Billie Jean, Hello, I Don't Want to Miss a Thing...there is a reason he had 11 top 100 songs when he was on because his covers were amazing (check out the 2010 Guinness Book of World Records).<br /><br />Third lesson - If you don't have the musical ability to change up the song to make it your own, then don't change it or ask someone to help you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24097106.post-14124334985086551652010-04-07T11:32:52.170-04:002010-04-07T11:32:52.170-04:00Ah, you're right, Gokey did make an appearance...Ah, you're right, Gokey did make an appearance earlier in the season - that escaped me as I wrote the post above last night. Still, for her to drop in a Gokey reference based off that encounter alone - funny stuff.Jen Aronoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01143735560541943835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24097106.post-50349253185799704682010-04-07T07:04:44.454-04:002010-04-07T07:04:44.454-04:00The whole scene was enough to make me vomit.
