Controversy has broken out regarding David Cook‘s version of “Billie Jean.”

Should it be called David Cook‘s version or should it be considered Soundgarten’s Chris Cornell‘s version?

Writes Brother Breeze:

Puhleeeze! David Cook did a great job, but it is NOT “his version” . This was Chris Cornell’s version. There was nothing risky, brave, or original about it.

Replies Devon Delaney:

David Cook’s verson of Billie Jean is so much better than Chris Cornell’s.

I’ve been watching American Idol and while it’s fun to see all of the contestants who have survived the competition to make it into the Top 10, I’ve been missing Asia’h Epperson.

I had listed Asia’h Epperson in my Top Five list back when the American Idol competition started (along with four other AI hopefuls who have since been sent home).

It shows that sometimes it is hard to determine who will capture the attention of the American Idol audience, although it is pretty clear that David Archuleta and David Cook are contenders for the top prize this year.

It seems that I’m not alone in missing cutie Asia’h Epperson since her departure from the singing competition.

The Asia’h Epperson blog writes a post wishing that Ms. Asia’h was still singing songs for America every Tuesday evening.

This week’s edition of American Idol again illustrated well the reason why the judges might be right that this could be the season with the most talent, but it also shows why it could also be the most boring ever yet. When Asia’h Epperson was still around on the show, the bright and bubbly personality of the young part time waitress was enjoyable and certainly lovable, compared and in stark contrast to the almost boring personas from the other contestants.

UpdateAsia’h Epperson sang “God Bless America” during the seventh inning stretch during the Springfield Cardinal’s season opener.
