David Archuleta and David Cook
“American Idol” champion David Cook disgruntled some of his Filipino fans by excluding “The Time Of My Life” in his Manila concert set list last May 16.
“The Time Of My Life” was the coronation song of “American Idol” Season 7 which Cook won. The song went as high as number three in the US Billboard charts and became an even bigger hit in Canada (#2) and in the Philippines (#1).
Instead, Cook performed a barrage of unreleased tracks from his self-titled album that left the crowd lethargic. Songs from “Analog Heart,” an album he released during his pre-“Idol” days, made the crowd even more listless.
“We’re playing songs you’ve never heard before,” Cook explained, noticing the lull. “Is that okay?”
The only familiar songs from Cook that night were “Light On” (first single off “Cook”) and his remake of “Always Be My Baby” (originally by Mariah Carey).
I haven’t watched their concert but as far as I know It was successful and entertaining. Eventhough Mr. Cook didn’t sing the song The Time of my life which is also the song for coronation night of A.I season 7.
Aeon Records’ recording artist and Filipino-American singer Shane Ortiz said she had a bittersweet encounter with a compatriot at the United States airport.
