He worked the stage like a pro, rocking out to several of the songs that helped transform him from just one of the pack in the competition to a front-runner, including “Hello” and “Billie Jean.” Cook sang the American Idol winner coronation song, “Time of My Life,” thanking the audience for the song’s success on the charts.
