great article about Idol vocal coach extraordinaire debra byrd can be found here. check out what she had to say about david:
She may be honest, but when asked about the strengths of this year's contestants, Byrd chose to speak about the group as a whole.
“The common denominator is courage,” Byrd said. “Because it takes a lot to stand on a stage in front of millions of people and be ridiculed. It's very heart-wrenching. They are all unique.”
But when she was asked which contestants have blown her away, Byrd was ready to sing the praises of the people who have made this vocal guru stop and listen.
“David Cook stunned me the first song he did. He stunned me in a great way. Fantasia stunned me. Kelly Clarkson stunned me. Chris Daughtry. Carrie Underwood. LaToya London. Elliott Yamin. They were all willing to take a risk, vocally, musically, with their song choice. They are visionaries.”
that's some pretty lofty company right there. and david's was the first name she mentioned. that's pretty stunning in and of itself.
