David does a great job, but the best I've heard is still by Ted Leonard (lead singer for a band called Enchant). Search youtube for "Ted Leonard Anthem". It's amazing, and so are all of Enchant's CD's (start with "Break" or "Juggling 9").
I absolutely LOVE THIS RENDITION!!! Cook's version was an embarrassment. Sorry - just how I feel! This is our National Anthem, and out of respect for our country it should be sung WELL. Actually felt sorry for DC.
Hearing a phenomenal singer such as DA sing our National Anthem makes me sentimental, and proud to be an American. I don't need to reinforce how incredible this kid is....anyone with good hearing already knows this. I just hope DA knows how much we respect and admire his talent!
powerful!I only visited this video after hearing DC sung the Anthem like an amateur. Whatever happened to him? was he nervous? sorry to say but it is just not good at all coming from an idol winner.
ohh wat a disgrace to America that they didn't vote for him to win....if he was in my Country...for hell's sake we will make sure he wins....but heyy...i think God has a special plan for this kid....what an ANGEL....go Archie
it looks like everybody just run all over tube to watch various national anthem right after david cook sang it...
at first i thought it's just me... =)
i even bother to watch arcue's for the first time ever just because when i search national anthem american idol, there are arcue's there.. never realize before arcue has sung that song..
arcue did fine.. i respect everybody who sang it whoever he/she is, including arcue...
Cook's version of the national anthem was really sad. David Archuleta, you are the better singer. I still can't over the fact that Archuleta lost idol. Ugh! No doubt you are the better talent and the better singer.
ALL ARCHULETA FANS! So here's the deal for ALL Archie Fans: We want HIM to take the win this Wednesday so we have to, as Paula would say, "vote like there's no tomorrow" on Tuesday! Vote as many times as you can as long as the phone lines are open!!! They will probably be open for 4 hours instead of 2 because it's the finale so just stay on the line and give him as many votes as humanly possible! Go and VOTE VOTE VOTE as many times as you can! Lets insure his victory!!! VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
OMG He is awesome!! I'm telling you that he is truly talented. To sing the SSB in front of that many people and do such an awesome job. He is handling the pressure better than any of us give him credit for.
Love his voice, he sang all the songs are awesome .

I have David's new debut album and love it.
awesome.
Got curious about David singing the National Anthem.
Such solid ringing voice.
David is popular and famous.
He is on U.S. TOUR and to UK.
Buy his album and enjoy.

david archuleta definitely sang the anthem way better than david cook...what happened to cook man? it was so dull the way he sung it.
supermanx003 3 years ago 6
yes, no doubt DA is the best specially singing
his own rendition of the National Anthem. So
