I loved his original performance of Livin on a Prayer, but like Simon I wonder how far he can get without an instrument.

so far he's one of my favorites

Isn't he the that was strumming his guitar?

yes, the one Simon criticized. I could kind of see Simon's point, but I still want him to do well.

I liked him. I'm glad he made it through to the top 24.

I like him! Good Luck David Cook.

Leave the guitar behind, he didn't play it well. Concentrate on his singing.

Oh, are they still allowed to play instruments now, when they have backing from a band?

I suppose it would make sense for them to be able to...
