so happy with david?

Wow. Time for some quality time with Colton Berry, who tells us he looks like Ellen Degeneres. That's not a tie-in for his performance, though. It's time for....

David Cook, who has no traumatic back story, but we're reminded that Simon at one point gave him a "no" in Hollywood.

Song: "So Happy Together"

Me: He tries to give this song a rock take, but I think it's a little too showy. It hits some typical traces of pop, making it slightly more forgettable. He rocks out toward the end, which redeems him a bit. Still, I'm not incredibly impressed by his stage presence. He'll have fans, but he'll need to do more if he wants to establish a rocker edge over Michael Johns.

Randy: "You worked it out."

Paula: "It's worthy of great praise. You rocked it."

Simon: "I thought it was good."

omg i HATE this song!! "So happy together, so how is the weather?" as lyrics????? Those aren't lyrics. That's just stoopid. And any guy/person who would choose to sing this as their breakout performance on AI is stoopid too.
