^ Jon Fields IS the producer. Jon Foreman is the lead singer in Switchfoot.

Anwyays, what a pleasant surprise to hear this on Idol! It definitely bumped some numbers for Sf and the song Dare You to Move which is awesome. David did pretty good, not amazing, but that's okay since it turned out to be great exposure and a reminder to everyone that Switchfoot's still out there rocking!

I think David C. was pretty good. Although he wasn't as good as Jon, he was good.
I'm sooooo glad he won AMERICAN IDOL!!!!!!!
No, I hadn't noticed that Randy had called him Jon Fields.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually a Switchfoot song has been played on Idol before in Aus.
'Meant to Live' was played two years ago.
And 'Dare You to Move' last year.

David Cook likes Switchfoot!

"Cook wants "a pop-based rock" record, citing such influences as Switchfoot and Jimmy Eat World. Archuleta will seek music "that's in the soul," along with pop that fits someone his age."

sorry but david cook destroyed the song completelly. not even closely to swithfoot. i heard this song in the movie "a walk to remember" and i saw the clip of the song. no one else can sing it better than john.and no one can play it better than swithfoot.

this was not the best cover of the song "Dare You to Move" this was knidof a sad night because of the way the song was sung BUT the fact of the matter is that Switchfoots song "Dare You TO Move" was used in somethign besides my iPOD i am happy

2008-05-18T20:57:00.000-07:00

I have to agree with a lot that has been said. It was exciting to see a Switchfoot song done, but David quite simply is not Jon Foreman, Jon just has a very unique voice (as well as David) and they aren't the same. I also think that maybe there would have been other songs somewhat better for his voice, even though they are not as well known as Dare you to Move. It is not an easy song and he was a bit pitchy.

It was cool to see the crowds reaction though, that alone testifies to just how many like Switchfoot.

2008-05-18T14:33:00.000-07:00

This version that David Cook sang was not a very good one I have to say. The origional was a MILLION times better. I thought he killed the song. David Cook is a good singer, but this time he failed big time.

2008-05-18T13:09:00.000-07:00

Well, I was happy he sang it because it made me look up your albums and download some songs. Sorry, but I'd never heard of Switchfoot before, but now you guys are becoming a fast favorite.

2008-05-18T06:16:00.000-07:00

It's rare to find fans of the original who like the cover version of a song! Even the Radiohead fans hated Jon's cover of Sorrow, There There etc. (Although personally I liked them.)

even tho david cook didnt do the best performance of "dare you to move" im still voting for him just because out of all songs he picked SWITCHFOOT which is good enough for me..<3

2008-05-17T18:28:00.000-07:00

OK. David Cook's Dare You to Move doesnt compare to the original, doesnt even come close to Jon Foreman but to think out of thousand songs out there, he chose it, was beyond words for me.

Im a HUGE Switchfoot fan and became one the first time I heard Dare You to Move.

To have a Switchfoot song in Idol is just so cool for me!

I was so thrilled when I learned David Cook's doing it last Tuesday. It's just so cool. Switchfoot in Idol?! Wow!

So come on you guys, give him a break! Im so voting for David Cook this AI finale!

2008-05-17T18:16:00.000-07:00

david cook tried....but no one can even come close to matching jon's amazingly incredible vocal powers, jerome's keyboard skillz, tim's shredding bass, drew's guitar mastery, and chad's drumming adeptness!!!!!

2008-05-17T08:36:00.000-07:00

i think he did ok..jon can do it much much much better. i think the song can preform better when it mean something big to you and thats why i think jon rocks at it. i love switchfoot sooo much..but i am a David Archuleta fan..so i guess i can say he did ok.

i'm thinking he stunk it up.
