David Cook has released his first single off his first album since winning American Idol. The song is called Light On, and will be on the unnamed album that will drop on November 18th.

The song is a ballad, and a little different of the sound we heard David rock on Idol. What do you think of it?

I really wanted to like this single, but I just can't. David's uniqueness does not translate in the song. There is nothing separating this release from run of the mill Daughtry or Nickelback release - who he should be trying to separate himself from with a quickness. Aside from writing the song, there is way too much of Chris Cornell's vibe in it - the music sounds too much like Soundgarden, and if you close your eyes and listen closely, it sounds like Cornell is singing. If I wanted a Chris Cornell record, I would buy one from Chris Cornell. I didn't expect to hear David lose so much of what makes him special...his fans from the show will buy it in droves... I'm not so sure he will have such an easy sell to the public at large... I'm lowering my previous expectations for the album, and hope there is more authentic and substantive David Cook material in it.

I absolutely LOVE the song. I will certainly be buying his album. Can't wait.

I think it's a great out of the starting gate single. It truly has meaning for me as I'm truly missing (and leaving a light on for) somebody who just felt he had to go fight somebody else's war.

Sorry, but I'm not digging it. David Cook has done nothing different than what he was doing on American Idol week in and out - covering someone else's song. This song has Chris Cornell's imprint all over it... there is nothing new or original from Cook AT ALL in this song. He has sold out his shot at rocker cred for mainstream appeal. Cornell overshadows David Cook from start to finish..

Love David's new song! His voice sounds better than I've ever heard it! Looking forward to the new CD in November!
