David Cook gives Doxology its 'Idol' due -- we got the band's response

To Allie: Not that I’m a Doxology fan, but Whitney Houston is a gazillionare & these guys probably live with their parents ; ) Makes the need to get acknowledged a little more pressing.

It was really nice of Idol and David Cook to credit Doxo publically. They wasted 30 seconds of airtime for the sake of those whining crybabies. If only they had taken my advice and just sent Luke McFearsome an envelop with a chocolate cookie. And they’re not just whiners, they’re hypocrites too, expecting us to believe that this has nothing to do with money. It’s painfully obvious that they saw that David Cook’s star was rising, and took the opportunity to leech off his fame by clamouring for acknowledgement. They would never have done this if David Cook had performed badly.

How ironic that David gave out the credits to doxology who seemed so desperate to “right a wrong”. Makes me wonder if all this b.s. from rock wannabes didn’t add to the stress that sent him to the hospital last night. No one is talking about that.
–> so freaking true!

I listened to Doxology’s version of Eleanor Rigby, and I have to say, it sounded pretty close to the original. David Cook, on the other hand, performed the heck out of that song. The only thing Doxology proved is that David Cook is a much better performer or singer than any of them.

Probably acknowledged Cornell and Whitesnake because people actually have a clue who they are, unlike Doxology or whatever their name is. boo hiss

OK, Doxology, you finally got what you wanted and what you deserved. All this national attention has put a short spotlight on you. What you do with the spotlight now as far as your original music is what counts. So do it!
I never heard the other guy, somebody ______ Zaza, get all up in arms about his cover being used without credit. He might have just been really surprised last night.
It was really obvious when listening to David’s recordings that there was more there than just what Doxology did. I really only heard the keyboard notes as the same. The vocals were completely different, and a lot better, too. I did really like Doxology’s keyboards at the end of their version though (which didn’t make it on either of David’s versions).

And, I still don’t like their arrangement. If anything, DCook showed just how much better he was. I hope their happy. By the way, who was the other band he mentioned along with this one? I don’t hear them crying.

ARRRGHH: Whitney doesn’t do covers????? Have you ever heard of a little song called “I Will Always Love You”????? Ask, ironically enough, Dolly Parton if that wasn’t a cover. Or “I’m Every Woman,” originally sung by Chaka Khan. Ot “The Greatest Love of All.” Or “All the Man I Need,” originally sung by Sister Sledge. It’s ignorant comments like yours that only underscore how intellectually constipated some of these whiners are about this stuff.
