Gimme Gimme American Idol

I enjoy reading the roundups of American Idol from Dave, Idolator, and Balko, but I was surprised that no one (not even commenters, I think) noticed that David Cook’s version of “Hello” was entirely ripped off from Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.

Ok, not entirely ripped off, it was a little slower, but if you’re doing a rock version of a Lionel Richie song that has to be the first band that comes to mind.

Anyway, I hope he keeps this up. Maybe for Beatles week he can do “All My Loving,” from the classic Me First and the Gimme Gimmes Blow in the Wind.
