I'm sorry to say this to the originators, but this is David Cook's song and will be remembered as such. His gentle earnestness and supreme vocal range brings new meaning and life to what could have been a droning self-pitying youth ballad. Now it's uplifting. I may be the oldest person here to say it, but I love David Cook.
He sung this song for his Brother who sadly passed away from cancer. You can feel the emotion, he truly is a deserving winner of American idol and a very very very top singer. Good on you David Cook.
I'm a huge Cook fan, I really like his studio versions and live performances. When he did that live performance I was really upset, but I knew he'll get on to the next stage. Really glad the studio version turned out this incredible, I've played it so many times since I got it.
DAVID COOK IS SO AWSOME. I voted until my fingers were numb last night, but even if he doesn't win it won't matter. These studio versions prove he is a star. I would buy his album today if I could. In 15 years you will still know who David Cook, and everyone will be saying what was that kids name again about David A....
Spread the word everyone, about how great this actually is. I fear many people won't even come looking for this because they didn't like the live version.
This man could sing the phone book and it would be amazing! he is the greatest person to ever grace the american idol stage! in my opinion this is by-far his best performance.
i love david and how he changes the song up i have listen to olp version a million times but i stil dont get the same feeling from them as i do david!!!!!!i love you david
I like how you made the video end with the way it ended on the show! That was my one of my favorite parts. It just says so much without even really saying anything.
I wish america could of heard this version instead of the live one. This is SOOO much better. He has an amazing voice and he's a great front man for a band. He deserves to be where he is now.
I was his fan since the auditions too... I wasn't sure at that moment if AI would "let" a rocker win. David Cook is the best idol ever that came out from that show. He's original, daring, brilliant and very witty. If that wasn't enough, I totally love his voice and the way he looks at the camera.
He sounds great. I don't know why people have to hate. Raine Meada gave him props so that's all that matters. They both do an excellent job singing this song. It has special meaning to David so he does put a ton of emotion into it.
I love THIS one. I don't know enough about music to know what went wrong with the live version, I just hope the same thing doen't happen this Tuesday night!!!
David Cook deserves to win AI. Everyone believes in paying your dues, and this guy has. One of the reasons he's so good is because he knows what it's like to do a show for 5 or 6 people. He has worked so hard!!!
DC should win!And I hope he wins! He is just soooo marked for stardom - very versatile, very good singing voice and humble too! Time for a fresh air to breathe! Very effortless when he's onstage and singing!That's what a star should be! I LOVE TO COOK! (hehe :D)
This is absolutely fantastic! Too bad David could not have sang the whole thing on the show---but, that doesn't matter because he won anyway, THANK GOD! Waiting for his future CDs and concerts!
i thought one the best moments when he was asked what the highlights were was when he said Raine maida called him and said what a good job he did with Innocent, i cannot imagine how overwhelming that phone call must have been for him.
this will be my LSS (last song syndrome) for the week - "we are, we are all innocent" keeps playing in my mind just like "little sparrow, little sparrow" for the whole week last week....argh!
Thank you for this video! David has proven that he has the talent and range to do anything! That man can do anything with that voice of his! Some established artists cannot sing live to save their lives! His live version of this was good, but this studio version proves that he can do it! He's amazing! Not only my favorite American Idol..but my favorite singer, PERIOD! No, I am not 12 years old. I'm 28, and I have never connected to a singer like I have with David Cook. He is ferociously talented
The show doesn't only depend on the live version of the performance. There's a reason why the Ai finalist recorded their studio version of the performance. :)
I bought the Our Lady Peace version of this song on iTunes just recently, but now I'm thinking maybe I should of bought this version instead, darn! Great job on the video btw!
I melted when I first heard this. I had (and still have) the biggest most obsessive crush on him. I counted the weeks from the day that I fell in love with him (I think it was March 24, 2008... The day that he did Billie Jean).
this is one of my favorite songs... I listened to the original then this one .. I liked the original but this one is much better in my opinion.. I love it... and him!!
Sometimes Simon makes me so mad! He is not pompous. He was trying to make a statement. He was so disappointed with himself and it wasn't as bad as Simon or Randy said. Did see him roll his eyes when Simon said he was pompous. I was doing the exact same thing. I just love him!! If he does not win I swear will cry.
After reading the comment "David Cook is the Next American Idol", i got the utmost goosebumps. This guy rocks! He should win!

This should be a single - straight to the top of the charts. DC did OLP good!!!

he shouldn't even be here on this show he should be out making records WOW
we are.. we areee innocent! my friends keep asking me who sing this and why this is not on the radio yet!
David Cook is the bomb. I wonder what he is going to perform tomorrow night. I can't wait. I hope it is another know em dead song. I hope he takes it.
i love the versitality of your voice DC!!! love you!!!
awesome! thanks for posting this. I bought this version off itunes and now i can share it with others.
Thanks for uploading the studio version. I was hopeing someone would so I could hear it. This is much better than the live performance he did.
His voice is so amazing. He is so my favourite i hope he wins.
this is an excellent version to the song. done.
He sounds great. I don't know why people have to hate. Raine Meada gave him props so that's all that matters. They both do an excellent job singing this song. It has special meaning to David so he does put a ton of emotion into it.
I luv this song! David Cook rocks!!
I love THIS one. I don't know enough about music to know what went wrong with the live version, I just hope the same thing doen't happen this Tuesday night!!!

Xsuperman, I could not agree with you more
Ever week when David A sings, I say the same thing!

Exactly, the live version was rushed sounded. Here he could extend his voice out and carry your soul with it.
this sounds great... good for him!
this is one of my favorite songs... I listened to the original then this one .. I liked the original but this one is much better in my opinion.. I love it... and him!!
This song gives me goosebumps! ^^
Wow, this is much better than the stage version. He gets my props for doing an OLP song. RAINE MAIDA!!
my gawd...incredible. ♥'s him.
Sometimes Simon makes me so mad! He is not pompous. He was trying to make a statement. He was so disappointed with himself and it wasn't as bad as Simon or Randy said. Did see him roll his eyes when Simon said he was pompous. I was doing the exact same thing. I just love him!! If he does not win I swear will cry.
I bought it and it is AMAZING sooo worth the 8.99!
LOVE DAVID COOK!

David Cook AWESOME!!! U ROCK MY SOCK OFF DUDE!!
SOOOOOOO much better than the live version. This is awesome.

It's from the Top 10 results show. And what they're doing is the famous Mavid chest bump #1. ;)
You don't deserve the thumbs down for reppin' OLP man.
