His
last journey to the Philippines was on May 16, 2009 together with his good
friend, the charming and talented David Archuleta. Now he comes back! On the night of July 14, 2012, The Dome was
not filled up but I can still feel the adrenaline up till now with the mean
guitar playing and strummed bass of Monty and Devin coupled with the drum
beating by Nick with smooth keyboards of Andy and the signature raspy, full,
strong vocals of David Roland Cook.
You’d
notice how he thanked the people who came after every song. I squealed with delight as he sang my
favourite songs of his that includes “Come Back To Me” and “Leave A Light
On.” From his American Idol Season 7 songlist
that became such a hit, Mariah Carey’s “Always Be My Baby” had the loudest
cheers and loud concert karaoke going on.
It was such a kilig moment when Yeng Constantino threw in her powerful
vocals on that duet and most especially after their big bear hug.
No
wonder he has this special quality of a drawl when he sings. He’s a Houston, Texas native. His rare talent has been taking him 15 years
in the making and going on, that’s a wow perseverance! He may not have the dancing moves, but he
surely knows how to groove your soul with his ballad rock beats.
What
I loved the most was how enthusiastic he is in being able to come back here to
our beautiful tropical islands. Maybe
being a tour guide would be really nice for him and his bandmates.
A
one hour and a half show, the amplifying of the instruments and screaming as
loud as I could I think has busted my eardrums!
I brought along home for me his sophomore album as a souvenir. With this cd, I can relive the concert with
his new, heart tugging rock ballad makers.
Maraming salamat David!
Mabuhay!
