David's banging out these "different" rock arrangements week after week, and I agree Natasha, he's just doing it better. Good for him! Now, honestly, I can't beleive he's really arranging these things by himself - isn't it a group effort with the band? Is it Dick’s – ology?

Success results in negativity from some. Probably quite a few are fans of another contestant. I don't think Cook is doing anything that the other finalists aren't doing. He's just doing it better.

I mentioned this on another messageboard. Regarding the David Cook "controversy", I might have a theory on why he's getting all the negative response while others like Syesha and David A are immune. It could have to do with his choice of genre. Think about it, the same thing happen to Chris with the Live version of Walk The Line in season 5, but not to Elliot when he sang the Donnie Hathaway version of I Believe In My Soul. My feeling is that it sums up to the fact that David C. is a rocker on Idol, that's a strike one to the rock community's eyes. They feel that a rocker should be an individual with their own stylr and sound as well as create their own arrangement, play instruments, write their own music. Anything that's against their ideal, like AI, is considered blasphemous and not authentic. In their own minds, David C. is not a "real" rocker, or a poseur for a better term. For R&B fans, it doesn't matter where they get the arrangement, as long as they perform well. For Pop, it's about the image. To Rock fans, Idol, like Pop lacks substance and legitimacy. Any "so-called" rocker that enters Idol is considered a phoney. In their opinion, thy see it as "Now he's trying to be a rocker by 'stealing' real musicians arrangements and get the credit, how dare he!!" That also comes from music elitism and snobbery. They are soo adamant about a musician having "rock cred" that anyone that doesn't fit the requirements, like being on Idol is not the real deal. Me on the other hand, love every kinds of music. If I tell you my playlist, you would think I was musically schizo. So for me, it doesn't matter whether you were discovered at a local bar or auditioned on Idol. As long as they make great music and I love it, I'm a fan for life. It does matter if they have "street or rock cred". If you suck, you suck. Hey, newbie here.

David Archuleta's version of Be The Voice? Is just in a different key from the originial, AND is basically NOTE FOR NOTE identical to the recent remake. Michael John's version of We Will Rock You/ We Are The Champions? ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME as the arrangement from the Queen musical that was produced a few years ago. This happens EVERY WEEK FOLKS. Every week. It only becomes a problem for people when someone knocks it out of the park. OK, I’m SICK of this topic.

I wanted to listen to Doxology's version but instead found this video that takes the covers that David was supposed to have used and plays bits of them back to back. The only thing about the Doxology cover that gave me pause was that the AI band seemed to copy their sound. I still don't think this is a big deal unless it's made to be one and doubt it's going to hurt him at all. <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=W1ZJBGeLpLg" rel="nofollow">http://youtube.com/watch?v=W1ZJBGeLpLg</a> We’ve obviously all heard of this because we pay attention but am not so sure the general audience has a clue about this so called controversy.

They keep sending out press releases because they keep getting picked up by blogs and news blogs. People are checking out their myspace page and tunes and they are happy. I think their hope is to get picked up by Entertainment Tonight or one of those so they can get on the show, maybe play their version etc. I don't think they will go away as long as they are generating interest, any interest.
