'American Idol' winner David Cook's 'Shattered Dreams'
Life for "American Idol" Season 7 winner David Cook has been going well, enough so that his stealthy victory over David Archuleta really doesn't seem so surprising anymore. With his self-titled album making platinum, Cook has been enjoying his solo tour "Declaration," which hits Fort Lauderdale's Nova Southeastern University on Sunday, Nov. 29.
On his tour, he tells the Miami Herald that he's been trying to "unveil" a new song.
"We've done covers -- we actually last night just played a cover song by an '80s band, Johnny Hates Jazz, a song called 'Shattered Dreams,'" says Cook. "So we try to have fun."
"Shattered Dreams" origintally debuted in 1987 and became a one-hit wonder in the U.S. for British band Johnny Hates Jazz.
Check out Cook's rocker take and then the original version:
Which version do you prefer or do they both offer something worthwhile?

I definitely prefer Cook's version; he has the ability to take any song and rock it out to perfection! David Cook is the real deal.
I really prefer JHJ's version much better. Their version is smoother and has more of a longing feel. In DC's version, he is just yelling, as he was apt to do on AI. I have always enjoyed the original version. It's part of a package from their album. However, I would like to hear a studio version of DC's just to be sure.
ummmmm... "so that his stealthy victory over David Archuleta really doesn't seem so surprising anymore"???? i think it still is.
Was Cooks win even surprising at the time? I recall thinking he would win.
I just love this guy. He's organically awesome.
Most definitely David Cook's version=) He can sing anything!
I love david's version better :)
David Cook's version of Shattered Dreams is waaayyyy hotter. The man could sing the phone book and it would be sexy as hell.
David Cook's version is the best. Much improved.
I vote for David Cook's version!
