The Time Of My Life

I know a lot of people make fun of this song, but I really like it!

And I think Cook's voice is really great.

I have been a music expert commentator on a reality website that reviewed "American Idol" performances for a number of years. We will be hearing much more from this David Cook - a young man with charisma and polish, yet humility - and that quality called "realness" - nothing phony about him! Seriously, the performance of the song "This Is the Time of My Life" was outstanding - so much better than anyone else who has attempted it! He knows - he has the insight - to sell a song. Besides that, he can do anything, just about anything - justice. Besides those qualities, his musicality is very good. I was blown away by his performance of the song from "Phantom of the Opera" - it was very tastefully done and one just knew he had musical theater experience, even if it was in high school. And he is not afraid to "change it up" in his performances and make a song his own!

Kudos, David Cook - you are in for the ride of your life in your musical career! by GEB

I bought this song because it seemed popular and now I can't stand to listen to it. It is just so cheezy. Hopefully his album will be better.

I like David Cook as a singer but this song is not his style of music. I know he had no choice but to sing it but his song is just ok for me.

David Cook made the most of what he was given--a song that belongs in a Disney Animated Movie. It's ultra-cheesy, and I'm sure he suffers every time he has to sing it, but very few artists could have done a better job. It's a 1 star song, 5 star performance, so I met it halfway and gave him 3 stars. :)
