Beautiful...This is how it's done....Acapela ....David doesn't need any gimmicks...Just his pure vocals is enough. .....I like to see th Top 40 Pop Stars do this..JB - TS just too name a few..
David Archuleta is doing a duet of this song with Charice. It's included on his Album which will be release this October 13. You can pre-order it on Amazon and Walmart :-)
1:53 - 1:58 ... What the heck David, you're just too good lol. And then just is like thanks you guys have a nice night! I wonder if he knows he just brought at least 1,000 people to tears. Haha!
Mr. Jive/ Zambo Records, please make Christmas CD with David in the fall of 2009. I'll buy it right away and buy more to give to my friends. I love David singing Christmas songs. thank you.
i agree that david need to have a christmas album and it will sell millions of copies worldwide i hope his record company will produce asap and we cant wait to listen to his christmas album.
I actually prefer him acapello....it showcases his beautiful voice......OMG, that is just gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!! If he does a Christmas album, they won't be able to ship out enough.........
im a music major and honestly this boy has obviously been trained a very long time. dont get on him for breathing in between a word. i was there and i must say he was the ONLY ONE there that has talent. he is quite amazing actually. and i respect him for doing a christmas carol a capella. were in the pop century not classical . it wasnt Q102 CLASSICAL .... let him do his thing and blow everyone away like he DID . thanks im done now .
pshh. listen raythespian you need to look at the fact that he is IN FACT young. he is a NEW artist and he was singing a christmas carol in a big room with a million little girls screaming his name. he breathed in between a word. soo what? honestly it was a concert . it was a capella . AND he probably was tired after singing 5 songs.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
David only breathes in the middle of a word (like "high_est") when he sings a capella, never on a studio recording. No producer would allow such a mistake to leave the studio.
raythespian ... it's not a mistake ... he's injecting his own style into the song ... he sings his heart out and is very expressive ... sure you probably won't hear it like this on a CD, but singing live gives an artist a chance to do different things impromptu and off the cuff ... even experiment. David is a true artist. :)
Jem....You got one thing right, "He is a true artist", but.... He is very young and should be coached by Dean or Jeff, or some other knowledgeable adult, before he sings any song in public.
raythespian, you're entitled to your opinion--& I see you aren't a hater...but really, I still don't think there's anything wrong with his doing that. abbyrosewilson just posted what I was also going to say & that is, if it was a classical style of performance or like an oldie version as in the 50's then it might have been obvious and out of place. But his is a very soulful, R&B style. There's room for different interpretations there. Nope nothing wrong with it at all! In fact, quite stellar! :)
oh, raythespian ... thanks for straightening me out on the Camden/ Philly venue ... HAHA! .. I can't stop laughing at myself ... oh boy, thanks too for not calling me other idiotic things that others might have done! :) hehehe .. can't stop laughing ... too funny ... LOL
Well, Judy,it was your song for what, 65 years? Just hope that David doesn't decide to sing "Over the Rainbow". Seriously, is David the most charismatic singer and performer you've ever heard, or what?
....singing traditional American Christmas carols to fellow teens. I'm not sure they get to hear these much anymore since they are banned from schools and other public places. More than an entertainer. Oh so much more.
GOOD LORD!! I was there and he was phenominal, just absolutely freaking amazing..!! The videos just can't capture just how amazing he is live..!! And the crowd was insanely crazy for him...me included..
raythespain: My last comment was for you. Sorry I forgot to put your name on it. After listening to this again. I believe he took a breath there on purpose so he could hold out the next note. Anyway he breathes his voice is BEAUTIFUL. I am sorry if I sound like I am scolding you. I just think he knows what he is doing.
That is not true!!! Where did you get that story, vocal paralysis doesn't affect your breathing, it affects your vocal cord and you sounds like you have laryngitis " hoarse voice" I worked on medical fields so I know this staff.. OK Dokie!!!
Pretty sure you're full of it. If you are trying to sound intelligent you should say you worked in the medical field not on medical fields because that makes no sense.
ma21lol,ok Miss educated person with sense all the time, what do you do at your work... I'm just curious... bec. you are so smart that nobody is smart-er that you! You sounds like a very unhappy person with a lot of troubles in life... and I feel sorry for you...Well, let me tell you nobody is perfect.. Please be nice, that's all I'm asking,... be likeable.. Well I forgot to tell you I'm an educated person with a degree'....May the good LORD bless you ...
I can hear Judy Garland saying "Hey, that was MY song? Fuggetaboutit, Judy. Once David sings a song, it's his and his alone. Just ask John Lennon, Elvis, Nat King Cole, Billy Joel, Elton John, Robbie Williams, New Republic, Josh Groban,Smokey Robinson, and all the rest. Does anyone still think that David is not the best singer on the planet?
Thank you so much David for the "gift" of you! My Chrismas is complete!! You have been like Christmas for me everyday since I first heard you!!! That was just amazing...as is EVERYTHING you do, and EVERYTHING that you are!!! What a gift to our world!!! Blessings to you and your lovely family David!!! David is Love!
We need a full Christmas CD next year that is sure to sell millions. That was freaking AMAZING once again. David Atchuleta singing acapella = PERFECTION.
After that, you bet I'll have myself a merry little Christmas!!! Just listening to him can be my Christmas present. David is so AMAZING!!! That was another AWESOME performance!!!
OMGOSH, this is just too much! Just BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you David for giving us a Christmas album! Thanks Monica for the great video and getting it up so fast!!
I never really liked to listen to Christmas songs. I'm not Christian and thought they were boring. I guess it just depends on how it's sung. I loveeeeeeeeeee all David's renditions.
OMG!!! I'm crying right now!!! That is one of my favorite Christmas songs and David just made an INCREDIBLE, MOVING, TENDER and POWERFUL rendition!!! LOVED IT!!!
Beautiful...This is how it's done....Acapela ....David doesn't need any gimmicks...Just his pure vocals is enough. .....I like to see th Top 40 Pop Stars do this..JB - TS just too name a few..
