What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about the phenomenon of American Idol contestants releasing huge-selling albums. Do you think David Cook would be a famous singer without the benefit of exposure on the popular TV show? Also, how does the show mold its artists?

What's the story?

What's the story?
A power ballad of sorts, this song was written by Regie Hamm and sung by David Cook after becoming the winner of American Idol.

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
David Cook shines as he belts out his last song on the Idol stage. The tune is a perfect choice to showcase his American rocker vocal range, bringing forth the raspy sounds when needed and the clear, emotional notes from the bottom of his soul. The uplifting ballad is sure to be an anthem heard at many sporting events, in commercials, and at school dances, as it's full of positive messages about living in the moment and appreciating all you have. Putting the cheesy factor and generic made-for-TV sound aside, it will no doubt be a source of inspiration for many people.
