"David Cook & David Archuleta: Live in Manila Concert" a Big Success

As expected, all roads going to SM Mall of Asia get smaller and smaller last night as fans and concert watchers all headed to the venue of the first (and might be the last) Manila concert of two American Idol's "David".

Although the two Davids didn't perform on the same stage at the same time, the concert event still ended-up as a great success and the screaming fans went home happy and satisfied.

During their 40 minutes (both had 60 minutes solo spot with 20 minutes break) solo performances, David Cook wowed his fans with his hit songs like Heroes, Always Be My Baby, Light On, Avalance, The World I Know, Kiss On The Neck, Mr. Sensitive, Come Back To Me, Straight Ahead, Life On The Moon, Bar-Ba-Sol and A Daily Anthem, which he dedicated to his brother Adam who died of cancer last May 3. While David Archuleta performed Stand By Me, Crush, A Little Too Not Over You, Touch My Hand, Angel, A Thousand Miles, Waiting For Yesterday, Don't Let Go, To Be With You, Your Eyes Don't Lie, My Hands, You Can, Zero Gravity and Barriers.

David Cook - “Light On”

Never really said too much
Afraid it wouldn’t be enough
Just try to keep my spirits up
When there’s no point in grieving
Doesn’t matter anyway
Words could never make me stay
Words will never take my place
When you know I’m leaving

(Chorus)
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Something I rely on to get home
One I can feel at night
A naked light, a fire to keep me warm
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when it’s late at night you can look inside
You won’t feel so alone

You know we’ve been down that road
What seems a thousand times before
My back to a closing door and my eyes to the seasons
That roll out underneath my heels
And you don’t know how bad it feels
To leave the only one that I have ever believed in

[Chorus]

Sometimes it feels like we’ve run out of luck
When the signal keeps on breaking up
When the wires cross in my brain
You’ll start my heart again
When I come along
