December 24th, 2008 | by admin |


David Cook performs “Always Be My Baby” by Mariah Carey on American Idol Top 7, “Mariah Carey Week”.

Randy: “I think more than anyone on the show right now you’re ready to make an album. I thought that was the most brilliant performance yet.”

Paula: “That song could be in a movie soundtrack right now. You’re it.”

Simon: “It was like something coming out of karaoke hell into a breath of fresh air. That was original, daring, stood out by a mile and this is the sign of a great potential artist.”

    I understand what you’re saying, and I think it’s just that it’s from a guy’s point of view with a lot of emotion seeming more saddened by the break up and less assuring, while Mariah’s version is from a girl’s point of view seeming more assuring that the couple will get back together making it sound brighter and bubblier.

    Putting aside which ones better because I think they are equally great either way, “Always Be My Baby” to me is the best song ever made by any artist, and I think the reason why so many people like this version is because David took it to the next level and kind of brought the song into a different, more current world. Like Simon said his version is a “breath of fresh air.” If anything, we all should just honor Mariah and her phenomenal artistry and singing.

    Like Simon said, Cook transformed a run-of the-mill karaoke song into one of the best songs, if not THE best, song on Idol 7
