David Archuleta on Leno 11/6/2008

[ellenmariePrivate]

i will always sing this song!!! haha.

[McPheeeee]

David Archuleta!! He's really amazing..

I don't care about some off-notes or overlap that you guys talk about..

He's just amazing.. He truly can sing..

[umbrellaeha]

wow. he even sounds good live.

[computer880]

singing live's always harder than singing in studio. You just can sing one time and mistakes can be easilly happened. Singing in studio,the director or musician will tell David sing again until it's perfect. But they never reverse his voice to make it better. David'voice is beautiful. Hope you guys still love David! Don't say something bad about him anymore!

[Bacheegs]

Yeah...this song is really hard to sing too. You need to be warmed up beforehand or else you will sound really bad. He isn't that bad but not as good as the studio.

[kennisings]

David is excellent! I'm a singer and this song is very hard to perform live because the breathing is very difficult. He did excellent!

[verbalwho]

are you serious!?! anyone can sing this song! but only david archuleta can make it famous lol.

[kennisings]

Yes I'm serious! Anyone can sing anything but they can't sing it well!

[verbalwho]

wow i see my old comment got raped, pillaged, and shoved under the mat. i love david archuleta's music, but let's get real - why did he look so great on TRL but he looks homely on leno?? rofl i just thought it was funny. no reason to neg my shit down to the ground

twatever...

[csifreak191]

i don't understand ghetto talk. *giggles*

[verbalwho]

exactly what part of my vernacular looks ghetto?? i did use a little bit of slang, but it's the internet! jeez!

twatever = twat + whatever

^^^^it's an old (bad) joke.

[csifreak191]

i didn't undertsnad most of what u wrote and i've heard some of the stuff you wrote in a ghetto place in my state. im sorry.

[peaches899]

He should've gotten A.I. 4 real!

[peaches899]

Luv this song

[sweetlikez]

soo damn goood!!! :) goooo david sing it woooot!!!!!! sexy song!!

[sparklegirlhearts88]

He was sick? What a trooper! I love him so so much!

[xoxAngelFirexox]

ps:

to all the jerks out there saying he sounds bad live, you're probably one of those people that didn't know who he was until his song came out. He was extremely good on American Idol.

Of course he won't sound his best if he's singing a song like this. There's not as many notes to hit.

[xoxAngelFirexox]

aww he was sick again??

Poor guy.

He needs a break. I hope they give him a decent break. Maybe like a week.

He's so young and doing soo much work.

But we're all very proud of him! =-)

[diosa101]

3:24 sounded that he is really sick... poor david :( but i love it though!

[fpinto2]

People forget that there are 3 or 4 David's in the studio version of Crush. That's part of what people mean when they say the song is hard to sing live. Anyone who watched American Idol knows David Archuleta can sing live so I'm not sure what NateH47 is trying to IMPLY. He also rehearsed with his band for about a week and his debut performance is on the Tonight Show! That's a big deal. Heck, I was nervous David! He did awesome, as always!

[NateH47]

Wow... I was not trying to imply anything. I was honestly just expressing confusion as to some of the previous comments (that I still do not fully understand). I did not mean to "bash" David, as you apparently think I did. If so, I would not look up videos of him in the first place; I have better uses of my time. I happen to know David is a very talented singer and have several of his songs from American Idol on my iPod. Besides, he seems like a nice kid.

[strangerhood11]

he was sick you retards, leave him alone, it was amazing of him to still come and give it his all

[NateH47]

I do not understand what people mean when they say this is a really hard song to sing live... what does that imply? That it is easier to sing when David's voice is being altered in a recording studio? :/

[xoDavidJArchuleta1ox]

What people are trying to IMPLY, is that there are parts of the song that overlap and hard notes to hit and all of this put togther into one live performance makes it a difficult song to perform while changing the song so the signer is able to sing it in one take and David did an amazing job considering he was sick.

[scorpio888]

He's REEEEEEEEALLY nervous here.

[fpinto2]

He's hot! The band sounded awesome. It will get even better when they really start to gel. They've only been rehearsing together a couple of weeks! Amazing!

[UltDm]

i saw this on tv, he was off key in most parts, wtf? he sucks live.

[csifreak191]

for the love of God, he was sick! leave him alone!

[xoDavidJArchuleta1ox]

i bet u suck live too. and next time u want 2 diss some1, get some info first. poor david was sick, but he went out anyway for his fans and performed his song.also, haven't u ever heard the expression "if u don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all" so u should just shut up

[UltDm]

dude, just chill, i didn't know he was sick, but he was off in most parts.. seriously, chill.

[verbalwho]

someone needs to hire a stylist.

[xoDavidJArchuleta1ox]

yeah, u!

[megnd09]

i think this song is really hard to sing live so i give him credit

[sunshineinca]

I am listening to all of his songs here even though I am planning to buy his CD. I think this album is pretty good, there are a few songs already stood out in my opinion. I can't believe his was recording this album while his was on the AI tours, the result is so amazing! All of his hard work paid off!!! He doesn't need to wear those skimpy outfits to sell his album, he will be known for his work and his amazing voice! Go David!

[o0ber]

What's with the shoes.

[tcajunboy40]

This is a good song, but his mic needs to be louder....

[kermit2655]

wow!!!!

perfect 10!!!

[randomskies]

he sounds amazing doing this live!!

[brownstony]

I think you should have your hearing checked. He sucks here. He needs to go ahead and have the surgery on his vocal cords.

[gloostikk]

Even though I'm a fan, I have to agree with you. I hope the reason his performance was like this was because he was sick.. he's done much more better than this on Idol

[ironlakeguy]

The song has been on the top 100 billboard charts for 12 weeks peaked at #2 and holding strong at #20 this week. Not bad for David.

[4shnoogue]

he was amazing. I mean it was really well done and his voice sounded just perfect. It is difficult song to sing but he pulled it out, he was great! I am so happy for him and so proud of him. I loved how he closed his eyes... that's him ... DAvid!!!!!

[burningSunset78]

Shit, he sounded awesome!! I died a little when he looked straight into the camera towards the beginning of the 2nd verse. Everything about that was hawt! Cant wait for the next live performance!

[VIENNAMAY]

David is just gorgeous.

[xoDavidJArchuleta1ox]

i totally agree

[archuletalixius]

i love it

[archuletaa1]

dude. i need a mp4 of this :]

[gems14]

David is so amazingly hot!!!!! The best!!!

[randomskies]

amazin ;D

[raythespian]

It's an incredibly difficult song to sing, and one that works better on record, with the killer duet and all. But he has to sing it, and as he gets more relaxed and confident, and dresses more in keeping with the song, it will get really good.

[archiefan11]

WOO HOO!

[fruityxoxo1991]

OMFG ...he was AMAZING...he sounded FANTASTIC ..just like a professional singer he is NOW !! :D soo excited to BUY HIS CD ON Tuesday OMG HIS OWN CD !! He must be SOOOO EXCITED and Happy !! :D we r all proud of u david...be yourself, never listen to the negative reviews

[OCgirliechick]

[MU20LEgend]

This song actually sounds even better live. Great choice for the first single!

[archiemakesmesmile]

[jazzy19001]

AI was good training for the TV camera - what a pro! The band is coming together nicely. Could be a little tighter. Love the fall colors on him. HOT!

[irkathree]

on my HD large plasma with some good speakers this performance was fantastic in sound and appearance.

[pepsky2001]

oh my! i'm so screaming in my office cubicle now and the whole office got freaked out. hahah thanks for the video! i love david archuleta!

[verbalwho]

haha this could be one of 2 things. both somewhat creepy:

you're either an office lady who's squealing over a barely 18 year old boy

or you're an office working man who's squealing over a barely 18 year old boy.

LOL

[inkingscreek]

Is his voice getting worn out? maybe my ears are not hearing correctly but 1:43-1:53, (plus other places) doesn't sound the best.
