david cook is the best. he has taken songs arraneged by other artist but he has done them his own way. there is no way to david cook sang the songs exactly like someone else arranged them. he did say he found some arrangements online. its still his voice and rendition. i love the way he sings and his voice. i dont think either of the other two even compare. he will have a recored deal even if he doesnt get american idol. i will deffinately have his first album. i think he has songs he has written ready to be put on an album. he is just so good.
