Chris Cornell defends "Idol" David Cook - 實境秀

http://tinyurl.com/yp5o53

總之原唱 Chris 覺得，it should not be an issue to cover a cover.
（等於間接幫大廚解套？）
然後他也覺得大廚唱的很棒。但的確有些他的歌迷很生氣..

但 Ryan 明明就有說，大廚要唱的是 CHRIS CORNELL 的版本...
怎麼三個評審似乎真的不知道.....（看來 Ryan 功課真的做的比較足）

以下是全文... （不小心發了一篇大廚文=.=）

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Were you told ahead of time that an Idol contestant was
doing your version of "Billie Jean"?

CHRIS CORNELL: No. I had no idea. On my flight back from touring in South
Africa, I started receiving messages from my fansite moderator and management
[saying] that fans were furious about some American Idol guy who covered my
version of "Billie Jean." It appears the judges had no idea that it was my
arrangement and were giving David Cook praise about how brilliant he was in
performing the song that way. My fans are very protective and felt David
should have volunteered the info [at that point]. Even though he did cover it
well, and it was brave of him to try and pull it off.



EW:Were you flattered by the performance?

Very much. It was clear to me [that] he was a big fan as he followed my
arrangement down to the T, including the most subtle vocal nuances. I think
he did a great job at pulling it off.



EW:Can you tell us a bit about how this cover came to be?

It was a complete reinvention of a song that no one thought would work until
they saw me play it in Stockholm acoustically. It received such an enormous
reaction that it prompted me to do a studio recording. It ended up on my
second solo album, Carry On.



EW:In general, do you find anything disingenuous about Idol contestants doing
covers of covers?

This song is a special case, but in general, I don't think it should be an
issue to cover a cover, as long as it's clear who the creator and/or
interpretor of that piece is. I think David's performance was great and I
want to thank all my fans for their dedication!
