When was I negative about his time on Idol? I wasn't a huge fan, but I can admit he had some great performances that were unique to the show at the time. Did you guys hear it on amazon or somewhere else? There's a link in the pop thread.

I don't get why people are so excited. It felt ho-hum to me. Well, don't you get it??? It's DAVID FREAKING COOK! It has to be good!!! He won IDOL!!! HE IS THE BESTEST!!! Never mind garbage like Adele or Fitz & The Tantrums - he's DAVID FREAKING COOK! HE IS DA BOMB! (In case you can't tell, I'm being sarcastic. The work of artists like Cook are what contribute to what is dragging down Hot AC as far as I'm concerned).

Um, overreaction, much? Heh.
Anyway: I think this will fit into HAC really well. Looking forward to getting the first updates on it.

Thanks for the link. My reaction after one listen...great vocals but the song is WAY over-produced. To me the song is about as strong as I think Daughtry's music is and should be as successful on HotAC. Having said that, I was really disappointed particularly lyrically and sonically. I think it will struggle on Pop. Maybe top 20 since it is a first single and I do think this project will get a fair amount of support from his label.
I will say that it doesn't sound like the "been here done that" sound that I was leary of since it was written (or co-written) by Ryan Tedder.

GOES FOR ADDS MAY 2
I hope this is a good hit for him! So far, there's only the release date for HAC, nothing for CHR, which is a good idea imo.

Very nice! Good luck to David! Idol needs a male winner to be successful again and I think David could be that guy.

I agree. This sucked, to be honest. This was a very poor performance, and a big fail to sell this song w/an audience of 20 million people watching. IMO, the song is just not the right fit for David. The 'got to get A HIT' desperation was wafting off this performance the whole time. Cook sounds better doing covers on Idol than he has singing 'original' music off of it. He was off key, flat, uninspired. Those Ryan Tedder influences were very apparent in the chorus, (ugh).

I think this would have been better if it was done by a band and not a solo singer. Those "Whoa-oh-oh" vocals remind me too much of "Gotta Be Somebody" by Nickelback and "Use Somebody" by Kings Of Leon. Cook's capable of much better than this, but it'll do decently.

Yeah IDK, it just sounds like a slightly more poppy version of his stuff last era. For someone who was so interesting on the show his post-Idol stuff has been really bland. This.

Daughtry is overrated imo. Their stuff tends to run together for me lately, the same way Nickelback's music does. I'd rather listen to Cook's voice, even if the material is a little more poppy than I'd prefer.

Not a fan of this song after hearing it on Idol. I even prefer "Light On" and "Come Back To Me" to this.

When someone quotes and says "this" it means they agree with what they quoted.

Saw him performed on Ellen, MUCH MUCH MUCH better then the performance on Idol! Even if some don't like the song, I hope regardless this is a hit. Idol really needs a male winner to do well again.

"This" is kinda vague lol Because "This" is the Pulse Way. :) I'm trying really hard to like The Last Goodbye. I just think his voice is better than the material. "Light On" grabbed me stronger.

Time for RCA to payola this up the HAC chart, because it seems he's lost all buzz and a heck of a lot of buying fans in the interim since the debut. Did the neverending tour he did in '09 not net more interest in him, and net new fans? Did the long wait between the debut and this release kill all momentum and his buzz? Where is the buzz for him, and this song outside the usual idol related buttkissing blogs? Reality is setting in, and it doesn't look like it's going to be pretty for him, and those fans who never imagined he'd fall off this much.

if this doesn't doesn't catch on radio do you think this will kill his era? I at least expected a bunch of blogs and news articles promoting him. It doesn't bode well that he sold very little after Idol and Ellen.

I almost feel that sending Don't You Forget About Me would have been a better choice for radio. And the irony of both song titles is really scary...
