Week 4 (Country)

[David Cook]

The Dixie Chicks - Landslide



I took my love and I took it down
I climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love
Can the child within my heart rise above
Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life

(extra stuff)

Well, I've been afraid of changing 'cause I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older too
Well...

Well, I've been afraid of changing 'cause I built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I'm getting older, too
Well I'm getting older too

So, take this love and take it down
Year and if you climb a mountain and ya turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well the landslide brought me down
And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
Well maybe
Well maybe
Well maybe the landslide will bring you down



Again, this is a week that is very hard for me. I love country music but there is not alot that fits with David, But i found this song which has been covered by SO many people. One of which was the Dixie Chicks who are a Country group. So this song fits. Also this artist is amazing and i feel liek his voice is very similar to David's. I hope you like it. Just remember that i do not have that much to work with.

David, I thought this was going to be alright, but........




























It was good! Nice choice in lyrics, choosing the song, & good job on the video! I don't think it will be the "top" performance for this week, but you should move onto next week.

[David Cook]

Thanks Simon that is what i was hoping for. This was just so hard for me i spent So long looking for a song.

can i ask why you did not liek it Paula? or how i could have done better?

[Kara DioGuardi]

It was very beautiful. I really enjoyed it. The song choice was really good and the versions was GREAT!

[Jason Mraz]

I totally disagree with Paula. It was really good! Not your best performance though, but still you chose the right song for you.

[David Cook]

Thanks Kara and Jason!!

I just did not feel it from you this week i dont believe Country is your style it was not the right song for your voice


it just came down to song choice

First off I want to apologize for not getting back to you last week with a better suggestion for a song you could have done. My bad.

But this isn't about last week now, this is about this week - and you nailed it! I'm not really used to seeing such a subdued David, and I think that is what made it work for you. It was a stark contrast to what I would have expected that made it right. It would outside the David Cook box, and it accentuated that excellent voice that you've got.

That was hot!

Thanks Randawg!
