Personally -- I don't think he was giving all he could tonight. Granted, this is the first episode of Idol I've seen this season, but my mom, who's been watching all season, was really disappointed by his performance tonight.
The thing that got me is that he picked all really safe songs. They were good performances, but they weren't phenomenal. They weren't songs that you should be picking when this is your last chance to make an impression. It was rather disappointing, considering I'd heard a lot of great things about this guy.
As for David A., he really gave his all into the performances He picked songs that would stretch his range, as well as show off what he already had. If Cook had picked more songs that showed he really wanted this, I probably would have been a lot more impressed.

...and that was a really long ramble. Sorry.
