How David changed and delivered that line from from "And we'll linger on" to "You will linger on" on 2:15 is haunting. This was David Cook's rockstar moment. He was unstoppable and almost a lock in the finals onwards. This is one of the most memorable performances in Idol history.

This was the performance where I knew David would win the competition. It was special on so many levels - one of the first times he was without his guitar, it showed that it wasn't a crutch and he was a true star, commanding the stage. Oddly enough, though, the reason I knew he was the winner was because of when he WASN'T singing - the parts in the choruses where he let the backup vocalists take over for a moment, only to come in with his powerful vocal over the top, showed me so much about him. The confidence to not feel the need to sing every single moment was the most impressive thing to me, but also the musicality of knowing when to leave some empty space to make the return that much more impactful. It was brilliant.

This performance was outstanding, and his studio version of this? Absolutely Grammy-worthy. It was on this performance that I was officially sure David Cook was winning American Idol. Just...genius arrangement. Love everything about it. Archie is fantastic. But so is Cook. And the latter surpasses all the many great contestants this season with great artistry. It's a shame few ever really wind up as good after the show, but that's fine. I just enjoy them as contestants.

This is actually my favorite American Idol performance. "Always Be My Baby" is my favorite song of all time, and David Cook's performance and cover of it just took it to another place. Ugh! Mariah Carey is the greatest singer-songwriter of all time and wow, everytime I listen to this performance I just feel gratitude and thanks to be alive and able to listen to this.

It's strange how, when we watched Season 7 live, we never fully grasped how epic it was, and how amazing it truly was. I mean, the top 10 were all great, and the winner was a true prize. When we compare it to today, we see how wonderful we had it, and how spoiled we were with its greatness. Now we want the magic back so badly that we watch old Idol moments to reminisce of better times.

Honestly having a random nostalgia trip for this season of Idol. I didn’t fully grasp how amazing this rendition was either. Took it for granted to the point I didn’t buy the studio version download when it was available. What a great cover this was. And the whole season of Idol that year was also nostalgic for me. Probably the last greatest season.

She was off at times for sure, but she was the soul of the show. 3. This is, hands-down, one of THE best songs done on Idol, and it's because it was his own rendition! He came up with it; has there been anyone to do something as authentic as this since him?
