  • Happy Cinco de Mayo

  • amazing

  • David.. Spanish CD please!!!

  • Bravo. Hope he will make a Spanish album.:))

  • Goosebumps!!! hahaha He makes me happy

  • I think he sounds a lot better in spanish however, he had a lot of audible gasps while he was singing the song. It was somewhat distracting. Other then that I enjoyed it.

  • @jojo145945

    David has a paralyzed vocal chord which is why sometimes you can hear his breathing, not gasping. For me that breathing is part of his magic, sings better than anyone around with one vocal chord. A true gift.

  • this made me love him even more

  • canta bien en español, bienxD

  • AWESOME!

  • beautiful tribute but no one can do it like selena! no one can put that energy she put into everything she sang!

  • so hot...

  • My favorite David songs are Spanish or Gospel. He has such a wonderful, natural sound here. I love it.

  • I love this video Monica, I love how you can see Mr. Quintanilla stand up at the end for a standing O. David did such a wonderful job. I am a fan for life.

    

  • Daaayum this sounds so GOOD. I have been re watching this vid a lot. David can really sing anything, his voice is that amazing. Yes he definitely needs to do a Spanish album someday. I love when he brings out his sexy latino

  • damn i didnt know lil homie spoke spanish or even dug selenas songs.. got newfound respect for homie.. props David Ar"porkchop"... hahaha..

  • He sings better in Spanish then English :D

    Truly talented guy

    David honey make a Spanish album por favor? :)

  • I love it!!! OMG he should totally do something in spanish!!!

  • Thank you so much for the post, he is absolutely fantastic, any new video of David singing is such a treat, but in Spanish, Oh My Gosh, brought tears to my eyes. I loved it.

  • :O OMGGGGGGG !

  • WOW....HE BLEW ME AWAY!! WONDERFUL SPANISH SINGER ALSO!!! VERY TALANTED YOUNG MAN. HE WILL GO FAR!!!!

  • Damn! He sounds soooo HOT!!!!!! Go David!!!

  • sooo just a suggestion but whos with me for david archuleta becoming a pop spanish singer? ay!! he can sing to me in spanish any day lol

  • @gueb0280 I'm totally down for that :D

  • @gueb0280 jaja'yhu funney

  • sooo just a suggestion but whos with me for david archuleta becoming a pop spanish singer? ay!!

  • jptmba1512 profess to know Spanish music and he thinks he can sing better so he keeps coming back to this video to give his critique. But more he comments to show off how to sing song, less attractive he sounds if he did sing. I could tell he wants attention to HIM. Sorry, your attitude turns me off. I love David's voice and his singing of Spanish songs. If you are not interested in his way of singing, go elsewhere. Stop coming to this video just to leave negative comments. Let us enjoy David

  • he sounds like cristian castro i like it

  • It seems there are two who are coming to this video to diss David's singing of Spanish song. If they don't like his way of singing, then don't need to keep coming back just to give their negative comments. There are rest of us fans who enjoy David Archuleta's singing. Check also David singing Contigo En La Distancia posted by r2rod2.

  • David Archuleta sang Contigo En La Distancia at Alma Award show, it was beautiful. David singing this Spanish song was broadcasted on ABC tv. The video is posted by r2rod2. Check out David singing Contigo En La Distancia. David has gorgeous voice.

  • I keep coming back to listen to David in Spanish.

    This audience seemed to enjoy David's singing, too.

  • David is good with Spanish songs. I don't understand the language but I love him singing this song.

    David Archuleta sang Contigo En La Distancia at Alma Award show, it was beautiful. Video by r2rod2 of David singing this Spanish song was broadcasted on ABC tv. David has gorgeous voice.

  • He sounds better when he sings in spanish :)

  • I felt the song the way David sang this, and I don't speak Spanish. David is great with Latin songs. I'll buy his cd if he makes a Spanish album. I'll buy more than one and give to my friends. Sorry, jptmba15, I don't like your singing already. I'll stick with David Archuleta.

  • @caser1210 ? Ok. Good for you. lmao... I could care less if you like my singing or not. Your not the one who will decide whether my career takes flight or not. I talk truth... don't like what i said? Too bad lol.

  • @jptmba1512 It's "I couldn't care less," not, "I could care less." - And your attitude is disgusting; I see how anonymity allows just about anyone to give themselves a false sense of importance on the Internet. You're not going to go very far with that way of speech. Don't confuse your attitude with confidence and "blowin' off the hatas," as a lot of people say. There's a fine line between being confident and being a prick, and you're falling more into the latter than anything else.

  • @ItsFaltzer Thank you English professor. Likewise.. your attitude is pretty nasty to which is why I'm answering you the way I am. Listen.. I know who I am... so I don't need some no body to come and tell me who and what my characteristics r. You don't know me just like I don't know you. You should be embarrassed and goes to show your level of overall intelligence with common sense. Don't ever judge a book by it's cover. Once again you don't know me.

  • @jptmba1512 I'm not the one using foul language; if you want people to like you, which is the first step to becoming a respected musician, then start treating the people around you, no matter who they are, better. You came in throwing your weight around in a comments section, where others even pointed it out to you, and I added my two-cents in. It's a public forum; that doesn't mean you need to publicly act like a narcissist when giving your opinion.

  • @ItsFaltzer Once again.. IDC .. lmao.

  • @ItsFaltzer anything else? cuz im just about done. I don't give a fuck if you use foul language or not... GUESS WAT!! I do. So.. your point? O wait.. does foul language degrade intelligence? Get outta here lmao.. seriously. Your making your self look dumb. But if you insist on embarrassing yourself.. go right ahead.

  • @ItsFaltzer Here's a tip for next time... if you don't wanna be talked to the way i just talked to you..... then tone it down a bit. I have every right to have answered you the way I did. Learn and look up the definition of respect and opinion. I also don't argue with people over the internet. How child-ish. get a life loser.

  • @jptmba1512 You were just arguing with me and actively insulting me, yet all I am doing is retorting to your arguments. My tone could be better, but two wrongs don't make a right. If you really wanted to make a good impression, you could have played the better man, but you didn't, so I don't see how trying to ostracize me with this double-sided hypocrisy justifies whatever you've been saying too on the nastier end. :/

  • @ItsFaltzer still with the SAT prep vocabulary?We get it. You know your vocab.. so do I. I was done since the beginning lol if you couldn't tell... I could care less wat u think. lmao did i not tell u that already....lol.. Yes I'll destroy my point in the process...... Your ignorant. lol I'm gald your done. Thank you... you did a great job on embarrassing yourself.

  • @jptmba1512 Feel free to correct me.. Gald** lmao... Im sorry GLAD!!!

  • No offense to the D.A. fans but i've heard people at a karoake bar sing this song with more feeling, emotion, and true dedication to the words coming out of his mouth. He sings very well, but heard better. This song is so heart felt and when david sang it, he sang it well technically but there is no heart there. He was either thinking about the words too much or not feeling the song the way he was supposed to.

  • @jptmba1512 , `Everybody sounds good in a Bar or Shower after a few drinks ! No offense .

  • @Tejano44 Lmao...tru. No offense taken. You weren't rude, had you been rude that's a diff. story. But seriously tho.... I'm a singer. No lie, I can sing this song better than him. He forgets that when you perform, you must turn into an alter ego. Of course always being yourself, but not yourself at the same time. Tough I no. But props to D.A... he can sing pretty dam good. He just misses an important IT factor.

  • @jptmba1512 , When DA gets a heartbreak then can put more emotional passion into the songs . DA is still a young Soul . Have a blessed Life .

  • @Tejano44 I guess so. Like wise. Take care.

  • @jptmba1512 - I totally agree with you on that one. Needs to break out of the comfort zone and let go and

    attack each song with passion and not be afraid with what people will say. To just let it loose and enjoy

    the delivery of each song like Michael Buble. He sings with such freedom and shows his audience he has

    fun in doing so. Maybe Archuleta needs to duet with Michael tBuble to generate that edge and learn to have

    fun while he's singing.

    fun while he's singing. Doesn't have to be heartbroken.

  • @Sakura52296 Maybe he does need to perform with another free soul to get the picture!! ;)

  • @jptmba1512 I would like to propose something to you. I will say at the time David sang this song he was nineteen. Yes, David will probably have some romantic heartache in the future. But I don't believe that the awesome tribute to Selena of No Me Queda Mas and the duet with Pete Astudillo of Como La Flor are any less spectacular because he has not experienced that romantic heartache.

  • @rmanciaz Very true. Good point. I just think he could have delivered it better, but i still like him, and admire him as a performer. But this performance was..... EHHHHH

  • @jptmba1512 Lol. I honestly don't know why the Hispanic community has this on-going facade about them being the most passionate people on the planet when it comes down to emotion and expressing themselves in song. As a Hispanic, I find that our audience loves melodramatic singers who push messages, not deliver them to the audience. I find it thoroughly ridiculous how anyone can say that David has no heart singing this; he DOES, but shows it in his own way.

  • @ItsFaltzer Why does the hispanic community have an ongoing facade about passionate singing? Music is art... thus it's a form of expression. True expression to what one feels at any stage or point in life. SO... if your gonna sing a dam song sing it with guts and passion... and you'll win your crowd over. David did sing this song extremely well.. TECHNICALLY... besides that I didn't feel the passion behind the meaning of the lyrics. Sorry.

  • @jptmba1512 Yes, music is an art form and a form of expression, but there is a difference between pouring your heart and soul into a song and just modulating your voice into what sounds like a "poor, unfortunate soul" to deceive your audience of what your emotional state is. David sang this from his own perspective, as Selena did her own. In a world of self-expression and emotions, there is no such thing as a better interpretation, only the one that touches you the most.

  • @ItsFaltzer I beg to differ. There are such things as better interpretations. The difference comes in through what artist is singing.. and what genre they specialize in. Once again you said it yourself. The one that touches you the most? Wat does that mean? You obviously like one version better than the other lmao. Deceive your audience? Listen... point blank.. lyrics are written in a particular manner.. and are meant to be sung in a particular manner. Bottom line. That's the way it is.

  • @jptmba1512 There aren't better interpretations, objectively. No two people go through the same things the same way, just like there aren't two people who are going to have the same exact opinion about the same exact thing. If music is a form of expression, then I'm allowed to sing lyrics and melodies however I want to, not the certain way it was written. As a musician, that'd be my choice of expression. And there's nothing you can do to say I'm wrong.

  • @ItsFaltzer Once again. IDC lmao

  • @ItsFaltzer You wouldn't sing a sad melodramatic song with a smile on your face and thorough happines showing from within. All performers are actors to a sense. When you see a singer/performer performing any song they way they are on stage isn't the way they are on a hour to hour basis daily.

  • @jptmba1512 Your example is surreal; and if all performers were actors, believe me Mariah Carey would be an amazing actor, but she proved she's a bit mediocre at acting but a goddess at singing. And you should never have to create a fake persona to sing a song; it comes across as fake. If you can't find any way to relate to a song through your own emotions, then that song isn't for you, sorry. The audience isn't stupid; just like we can spot fake people, we can easily spot fake emotions.

  • @ItsFaltzer and just to prove my point even further... listen the same exact song being sung by Selena and then compare it to this. Tell me who sang it with more love and dedication to the lyrics. Just sayin.... It so obvious and blunt.. no need to beat around the bushes. But maybe it's because no person would be able to sing this song better than Selena..

  • @jptmba1512 And no offense, but you talk a lot for someone that acts like he knows all there is about performing and wearing your heart on your sleeve on a stage, which is what David has done countless times. There's a difference between being constructive and throwing your weight around. You say you'd do better; post a video and show us.

  • @ItsFaltzer and who included you in the convo?Mind your business. Yes, it's youtube and you can comment on whoever's comment you'd like... except mine. That's a rule i made on my own. Check out my page... I already have a video.. and more to come... :) Thanks. If you didn't like what i said too fucking bad. Deal with it.

  • @ItsFaltzer Besides i never said he couldn't sing. The kid has a voice to rock the roof off... I perceive he sings off of no experience. Point blank. Do I no him personally? Obviously not.. it's an opinion as a fan and CONSTRUCTIVE critic.

  • @jptmba1512 There is no video of you singing this song, so no, you haven't proved that you "sing it better than he does." You're a good singer, but you're way too cocky for your own good. Whether you feel he sang it with the passion he was "supposed to" is left for the listeners to decide. I find that a lot of people interpret artist's interpretations of songs differently. I was moved by Lennon's, "Imagine," whereas my friends and family were indifferent, so what you feel is subjective.

  • @ItsFaltzer Cocky? There is a difference between cockiness and talking truth. I no my shit. thus i don't need to explain myself to you. It is wat it is. Yes your right lol. you know what? I'm going to post a video of me singing this song JUST FOR YOU. Soon. Am i not a listener? lol you just said it your self. EXACTLY! What you feel is subjective thus why would you say what you said about my comment knowing everyone's view is subjective. You make no sense. Lol But i understand wat u mean I guess.

  • @jptmba1512 You say you don't care about what I think about your singing, and then you go on saying you're going to post a video of you singing the song just for me? Make up your mind! "Speaking the truth"? You JUST admitted that it was subjective, and now you're bringing "truth" into the equation; subjectivity is based on OPINION, which in turn means it has no definitive truth value. And I pegged on you because your original comments tried to force your view on to others.

  • @ItsFaltzer U pegged me? Online? Yes. Grow up. Like i said if you didn't like what i said too fucking bad. Your views are skewed. Honestly, you also chose the wrong person to come and say the shit you say. lol we will go back a nd forth forever.

  • @ItsFaltzer You can also stop with the high end grammar. No need to prove your intelligent. Your gestures prove otherwise.

  • @jptmba1512 Go ahead and prove my point and destroy yours in the process. I'm done.

  • @ItsFaltzer I think it's so funny how you turned a simple opinionated comment into some freak show ridiculousness.... People like you crack me the fuck up.

  • @jptmba1512 I hear you and know what you mean. This song requires much passion as in the way Selena

    delivered it. It is apparent that David is concentrating in just making it sound right which is good in honor of

    the one and only Selena. Again he needs direction in stage presence and needs to learn to set his mind and

    heart to something that will help him express a missed emotion. I am a David fan but it is what it is.

  • @Sakura52296 I agree with you as well!!

  • David sounds soooooo sexy in Spanish gorgeous!!

  • If David records a Spanish album, I'll be right there preorder the album through Amazon.com. Even though I don't speak Spanish and I don't understand the words, but if David sings in Spanish I can feel what they mean. I have some very good Spanish friends, they will be happy to get David's Spanish album as a gift. I promise myself, if David records a Spanish album, those good Spanish friends of mine will get on each.

  • Great! Finalmente alguien a la altura de Selena.

  • @tabatho UHH don't go ahead of yourself there. A la altura de Selena nunca llegara nadie.

  • @jptmba1512 Es verdad, pero es que nadie ha podido sacar algo bueno como cover de ella.

  • Amazing!! David should record an album in Spanish. He is absolutely a good singer!!!!

  • @Basandar43 , So True !

  • Wow! that was stupendous!

  • the best cover of a Selena song ever.

  • This guy should do a cd of Selena covers. This is by far the best I've heard of covers of her stuff.

  • This guy should do a cd of Selena covers. This is by far the best I've heard of covers of her stuff.

  • @malloryhead yes! yes! Pepe Aguilar did a GREAT cover of No Me Queda Mas for Selena Vive...but YES! I am blown away by David Archuleta's talent! American Idol was WAAAAAY beneath him!
