David Archuleta- We Can Work It Out

[PierreChaqueJour]

Lol, this was really bad =P He was clearly not confident about this one!

[exil7]

he just totally ruined the song. i hate all this pop crap, which is why I like the Beatles. I stopped it 1 minite in, because I just can't take it.

[kingsnwarriorsfan19]

I miss Simon :[

[llolzcalai]

I know this was David's worst performance all season, but I can't help but keep looking back at this video again and again because it shows two things about him that I love. One, he strives and does his best no matter what the condition. Two, he is able to take criticism gracefully - still with that charming smile on his face. :D

[paulftw4life]

beatles fans i was looking for the we can work it out by the beatles i saw this and i thot atleast he is trying... but paul did it way way way way way way way way better the best ever.... paulftw4life

[EricDymond]

Wow, thanks for butchering a classic. This is why I don't watch Idol.

[KatieLL]

@EricDymond Goodness, this was one performance. David performed excellently for ALL of the other songs he did on the show. Please check out his The Long And Winding Road...and anything else he sang. :)

[13Snigglefritz]

Even tho he messed up, he still gave all his heart! He is so amazing!♥

[xxhailybabexx]

He is so adorable <3 He still Smiles even though Hes Getting ranked on )":

[loomonda18]

Everyone PLEASE VOTE for DAVID ARCHULETA in this years 2010 Teen choice Awards! It is tough competition this year, so PLEASE VOTE EVERYDAY & TELL OTHERS Too! He is nominated for American Idol Alum & Fanatic Fans! Let;s do it for david! <3 EVERY VOTE COUNTS!! :D

[doubleDdog09]

his voice is beautiful but the only thing wrong is he didn't seem comfortable and he seemed like he didn't know the words very well... still a big fan of david <3

[KrisAllisonKelly4evr]

oh... lord. this is bad. i love david's voice, but, oh... dear.

[pokopoko14]

I love David... but that was horrible... the judges were too easy on him!!! It's pretty unfair...

the Studio Version of this is AMAZING though!!!! It's actually my favorite studio version from David!

[pheonixkami]

Kara says that everyone is entitled to a screw up night.

[abeleejames]

They changed the song arrangement right before the performance, and he was sick.  Still managed to keep going.

[Basandar43]

@abeleejames , thanks for your info. That was happened that time? What ever happened, I always remember David sang "imagine", and it was beautiful. I don't think that any of the contestants of AI session 9 will dare to sing "imagine" it will be like make a fool of hin/herself.

[abeleejames]

This is the Stevie Wonder version, not Beatles'.  He got a strep throat, people. There is a long story behind the scenes.

[amrit914]

Why do these kids think they can improve the Beatles songs with their own improvisations? It doesn't even sound like the same song.

Why fix it if isn't broke?

[buggld]

@amrit914 It's not the Beatles version.

[MrsYamin44]

@amrit914 its not their fault theyre forced to do the beatles. change it up to make it possible to sing............might as well. its like on michael jackson week no one cared if the switched it up because no one can sing michael......

[litlenani21]

OH gosh this comment about David being better than The Beatles is a personal opinion. NOt everyone is on the same page or else the world will be such a different one. So come on let people think what they wanna think!

[bobjob66]

honestly I think he should of gotten the boot he forgot the words...it wasn't that good...I think if today this season this happened the person no matter who it is would be voted off...

[litlenani21]

you're funny.lol

[ArChAnGeL287]

WE LOVE YAH !

[ArChAnGeL287]

do not compare David to the beatles ! .. he's just trying to sing it and nobody is so perfect to sing that song (except for the song-writer) .. HE CAN STILL DO BETTER NEXT TIME ! HE'S STILL NUMBER 1 !!

hate u all suckers !! u dont know how to judge a person!

[bobjob66]

@ArChAnGeL287 Ummm...he didn't win...he was number 2...much like this song...

[litlenani21]

haha, you're so funny! That was 2 seasons ago. What happened happen. Let them be, we never said he wasn't #2. You got a very good sense of humor.

[Liebromeistal]

Don't anyone DARE compare this insignificant shit to the Beatles.

[therob2]

Flat the whole way through. Sounded like all the oxygen had been sucked out of the room as the poor boy choked on his lack of talent. Utter garbage. If you think that was good you need to have your hearing checked out.

[UR55378008]

and for you stupid ignorant david archuleta fan you can shut the fuck up. david archuleta has no musicianship. he can sing (barely) and that's about it. don't you dare say he's better than the beatles. and you say he only messed up two words. yeah well this song is important and meaningful to alot of people. this was the first beatles song i heard when i was a little girl.

oh yeah i was born in 1995, you're just one of annoying 1996 fangirls. so you can suck it bitch!

[youngbludzz]

ollys's versions is better

[Vicarageroad1]

David's a better singer, but ollys version is better.

[il927]

LOL all you fags saying the beatles are worse than this guy.

beatles 1 billion albums

david 1 million

HAHA!

[melanicholy]

wow i wouldnt think its possible to make such an awesome song sound like crap. good job little boy it takes true talent to screw up such a good lennon mccartney collaboration

[WYOMINGCOWGIRL4]

Go on American Idol and try and make it as far as him...better yet. try and win. Though, David didn't need to win. He's successful right now. More than you all dissing him.

[grannyloveDA]

SOUND GOOD

[archieHOHO]

he has a mistake but its ok

[archuletafan111]

This is awesome, u think i care that he made a mistae, hes still awesome and has and awesome voice! Everyone makes mistakes and he said this song was hard to memorize and he was probably afraid to mess up which caused him to

[davidarchuismybaby]

Actually, i still love this. :"> Even though he made a mistake. :">

[blacksolitaire]

hello people!!!??!! don't judge the singer by a single mistake. remember, david is only 17 years old.. "we can work it out" song is one of "The Beetles" classic... and i think david found it hard to memorize the lyrics and the melody of the music because it is an old song...

[sheepers411]

I'm 14 and know all the words to this song.

What does him being 17 have to do with it? I think he's old enough to learn the lyrics.

And it's The Beatles, not The Beetles.

And why does it make a difference that the song is old?

Seriously, this is one of the simplest Beatles songs. Don't make excuses up for him.

[ilovejbdavid]

Everyone makes mistakes. Don't you? It was a mistake. You don't have to get mad at him just because he got nervous. Don't you get nervous?

[sheepers411]

I do, but I'm not on American Idol.

Jason was thrown off the show for forgetting a line in Mr. Tambourine Man, but it's just fine that Archuleta did?

This was a terrible performance, okay? I'm not saying that he's bad, but this performance was.

[ilovejbdavid]

Oh okay. I'm sorry. I guess, the audience thought it was too early for Archie to leave the show. Jason got thrown off when it was the Top 4, right? I guess, he already went far.

[MacgeraldXD]

try to perform to thousands of people n lets see !!! He s just nervous!!!!!!!!!!!

[sheepers411]

He was the one who tried out for American Idol, not me.

He knew what it would include.

[CrazyAboutArchie]

Just because you can recite the words while someone is singing the song on their album, doesn't mean you could do it with just the music.

And how long did it take you to "memorize" the song? Less than a week? No. David had to learn it in less than a week.

David probably doesn't ever listen to the Beatles. In my opinion, he did AWESOME!!

[sheepers411]

I can recite it without the music, thanks.

Like I said, it is not a difficult song to remember.

Yes, I could memorize a song in a day.

Anyone could. Just look up the lyrics to a song and recite it a few times, and most likely, you'll memorize it.

If he was singing the song, it would have been a smart idea to listen to it,

Do you all see how biased you are?

I'm making valid points, but still I'm getting thumbs down.

I'm stating my opinion, not attacking Archuleta.

[MrsArchuletaXO96]

he made a mistake,.. seriously. it was like 2 words. so shut up. hes way better than youll ever be. he was just too good for that song :P

[sheepers411]

Have you heard me sing? No? That's what I thought.

And I sincerely hope you're not saying that David Archuleta is better then The Beatles.

[MrsArchuletaXO96]

you bet im saying David Archuleta is better than the Beatles. David is better than all the singers ever ....put together. so with that benig said, i dont want to hear you sing because its a waste of time, since David is the best singer in the world :D

[sheepers411]

Okay, well that's your opinion.

Not a fact.

Maybe I just find it strange that you have such a high opinion of him, is all. As much as I love my favorite musician, I wouldn't claim that he was better then every other musician put together.

And you shouldn't make claims that I'm a bad singer when you have no evidence. I'm not even saying I am a good singer, but the fact that you can claim that without knowing just makes you seem ignorant.

[MrsArchuletaXO96]

i didnt say your a bad singer, its just i think Davids the best singer ever. so you obviously couldnt be better than Archie. and i dont think im being ignorant.. i am just stating my opinion about your commments :D

[archangel4life4ever]

@MrsArchuletaXO96 David is the best! <3

[UR55378008]

you're retarded, this guy has barely any vocal range, no one even knows who he is anymore.

[MrsArchuletaXO96]

you can say whatever the hell you want, but David is way damn better than anyone on this earth. i dont really give a shit what you think.

[archangel4life4ever]

@UR55378008 IF you want to insalt Archie take it up with some ome who cares you heartless person!!

[carolinasrr]

we are with you. keep singing, everyone make mistakes...

P.S.: you're awesome david and this song is just amazing :D

[monkeyrock4111]

He did fine but he missed the words and i felt so bad for him hes a cutie!

[Twilarchight]

David Rawks...he was horribly ILL during this week...not a lot of people know that... he still pulled it out.. Go David !!!

[archangel32843]

he may have just missed one line

and i still wanna cry and scream

this is a beautiful song

i cant believe he;'s so brave when he sings

and hes so shy when he isnt :]

its so hard to not love him

hes just this unique spark about him

[Archuliz]

poor David T________T

[itsbuzzy]

Sucked. Badly.

[MrsArchuletaXO96]

..your jealous then

[zankou19]

yeah its funny when he forgot the words but hes so brave to keep going i wouldn't be capable of that, i admire him

i hate when the audience start booing the judges thats their work. booooooooooooooooooo to YOU (fuckers)

[ari205]

i feel kinda sorry for him.... hes mucch better tha that...lol

[angiepangie555]

AMEN! i hate that too! i'm like, they all make mistakes ok?! not ALL of their performances are gonna be good! i HATE that!

[clubheadxtasy2]

i hate it when people boo the judges

they obviously know what theyre talking about

[Vahag4Kobe4Y2J]

loll seriously

[hunnzybunz]

@clubheadxtasy2 David had strep throat that week! He was still sick and just doing what he could! I heard that they changed up the song on him! Everyones intitled to a bad week! I think this was his only not so good week!

[Ashley4Ever01]

@clubheadxtasy2 the judges are not always right and more people love him more than 3 judges!!!!!

[behindhzleyes18]

I never realized how much he actually forgot.

[Ilya1Music1]

i think he was sick

[sprousie1]

david i love it when u roll ur voice keep doin that lol

[bostaffskills]

Why are those idiots booing the judges?

[michaelkragh92]

stick to the melody. Cut the fill in words. And he did ruin the song. You are just showing you´re professionel enough if you forget the words

[luvztc5]

its so funny when he forgot the words

but his performance is still good

if not he will be eliminated

[yourmommm123]

dude, it happens. look how far he came & how successful he is. hes stronger now

[MissMaria10]

Yes he forgot the words. But so what? I love, love, love the Beatles. David has come a long way since this song. He has grown soooo much. Love him just as much as the Beatles.

[Disoriental]

he ruined this song. he doesn't even know all the words.

[MrsArchuletaXO96]

and you dont know true talent.

[wanjiloo]

and you do?

by saying david is better the beatles?

[MrsArchuletaXO96]

yeah, i do know true talent. and david is better than the beatles :P .thats why i know talent when i see/hear it.

[archangel4life4ever]

@MrsArchuletaXO96 100% better!

[UR55378008]

you're a fucking idiot, in no way david archuleta is or ever will be better than the beatles

[hughesey2]

absolutely awful..laughable that such a show can tarnish classics like these

[roxrox234]

i dont like the beatles(:

&&

besides My Davie is allllll mine!!

LITERALLY(:

[cullen7969]

No! i dont think so, he is MINEE...

[AdamWaz704]

they shouldn't have even been allowed to touch the beatle's music

he ruined this song...

[BenitoBrito]

He did a great performance ! He did not ruined the song. But it's your opinion.

[chocolateleggings]

do you consider me eye candy? im tasty :)

[Dragonerago]

I actually liked it. Maybe its just cause I've never listened to the Beatles version, and I was only concentrating on the catchy beat and good vocals. Actually, it's one of my favorite songs from him. I felt really bad when he forgot his lyrics, but thats part of being a singer. He still did good, and he was still adorable

[LCDemigod]

this fucking hurts to watch

[cullen7969]

YOUR A JERK!!!!!!!!!!

ugh, he is amazing, and im sure YOU hurt to watch! ugh!

[mattsam123123123]

cutie i love you

[emilysweety]

that's why he's a genius on music, even though he wasn't in a good condition, but he still did good.

[metalinguss]

Good is actually an overstatement to describe this performance IN MY OPINION. Sorry Archie fans.

[hockeychicka3]

i felt bad when he forgot the words

[fayeisme23]

HE LOOKES LIKE ZACK EFRON!!!!

[sachinpatel]

this is was soooo bad.

[sallymin1004]

he messed up but still he is good

[braddyboy83]

Archuletta shmetta. See Liverpool: The Beatles

[silentattacker000]

I like david archuleta he's great but I don't like he's performance in here. sorry guys just my opinion.. the boy has more better performance than this.

DAVID A. Is STILL GREAT LOVE HIS OTHER PERFORMANCEs!!!!!

[RickishaiIsRad]

I loved this performance,!

[nixynice]

i actually liked this one idk why you guys hated it

[bonafide48]

WOW this really sucked. But the other ones were great. He shoulda been in bottom 3. but not with the FAN BASE.

[blahblahblah92695]

dang he messed up like the whole performance, poor David. That week when he messed up, i felt like he should've been in bottom 3, but he has so many fans so its like impossible. though he's been doin way better. i love him!

[miccoojalta00]

Vote for the toughest!!!! DAVID ARCHULETA !!! I'll cry if he doesn't win.. and just thinkin about it ..

[miccoojalta00]

He's the hottest , cutest and strongest American Idol contestant so far... I've gone crazy watching and searching american idol now..

[crazycardriver666]

actually he forgot his words because the night before at the recording studio his stage dad was not happy with his singing and like made david even cry so with all the stress of not messing up he ecentually did and his dad has a history of bullying his kids infact at Star Search his father took tiffany evans (davids real competitionn) and harrased her and told her that she would lose to david eventually tiff told her parents and his dad was banned he could only go to the finale with security!

[miccoojalta00]

Archuleta caught a strep throat infection a couple of weeks ago that persisted through two performances on "American Idol."Imagine what that would be like, stepping on stage sick!!!A lot of people didn't know he was sick. He was congested.Archuleta searched frantically for a copy of the lyrics,but couldn't find one before he had to go on national TV.The reason David forgot the words is because they had him going to photo shoots and shooting commercials.He had so many other things to think about.

[miccoojalta00]

Archuleta, the youngest finalist at 17, has an even busier schedule than other contestants because he is required, under child labor laws, to attend three hours of school each day. "That puts him at a disadvantage!!!!After his disappointing "We Can Work It Out" showing, Archuleta "felt he let his fans down," Kaelin says. "That was his biggest concern. But people rallied around him."I've always known David was talented..

[krista838]

how do u know that?

[basketballover9]

are you serious his album wouldn't be boring..you're just jealous!!

[13fastball]

who cares if he forgot his lyrics. his other performances rule.

[Dallas3212]

lol its funny when he comes down from the stairs and models down the stage.

[1thousandstrats]

yeah, but this one sucked

[pinkpolkadotz13]

Oh my word, David you are so hot! And I love this song, you picked out a good song. And I feel bad for you when you forgot the lyrics a little bit, that must have been very emberrising! Well, Its fine now.

[DavidArchsmyIdol]

no matter what he deserves to win. and look at him he is a mad hotty!

[lhinne3189]

i like the studio version of this song WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than the actual performance.

=)

[cansygirl]

who cares if he messed up, he is still AAMMAAZZZIIINNNGGG and he is going to win!

[1thousandstrats]

I hope not. He can sing, no doubt, but his album would be boring as fuck

[LightHitsYourEyes]

Give him a break! He messes up on the end of the first verse, not that big of a deal. That's the process of getting better. Look at how hard this is being 17 memorizing all these songs, all the pressure, please just stop with all the hate.

[strangerhood11]

they showed a different part of the song, idiot

[strangerhood11]

they showed a different part of the song, idiot

[cyberkrasher]

What the eff....did you guys notice that DAVID'S PERFORMANCE of We Can Work it Out is DIFFERENT from the voting-recap-preview clip they showed towards the end of the show of him singing the song while flashing his number?!? WEIRD and FISHY!! VIEW IT AGAIN GUYS! He ends the song differently and uses different runs with parts of the song!! Someone explain that to us please...

[LABrow07]

the video clips that are shown during the phone number recap at the end are shot during rehearsals earlier in the day. They do that for all of the contestants because they are unable to edit the live show's performances quickly enough for the end of the show. That's why Michael Johns also sounded better when they posted his number during the second Beatles' week.

[realitycheckcl]

He must love rattlesnakes because his toungue wiggles and waggles inwards & outwards while he performs..... disgusting!

Definitely didn't work it out...

[clamzdominex]

David Archuleta NumBer One !! I love you

[clamzdominex]

David Archuleta NumBer One !! I love you

[happynew2008]

nxt song David fight-fight-.....

[flakis8912]

he is so adorable!! ,love him. if he doesn't win i'll never watch the show againg.

[heartoftx]

me neither

[smilelkumeanit26]

HE MESSED UP! It's not America's Next Top Model, It's American Idol - a singing competition. If this was Hollywood week he would have been GONE!

[ash4evagrl]

then isnt it a good thing that its not hollywood week

[smilelkumeanit26]

I guess so

[xjojox24]

Was there more than just nerves behind 17-year-old DAVID ARCHULETA's shaky performance?Sources are telling ET the singer may be feeling the pressure from his "stage father" JEFF ARCHULETA, who reportedly yelled at David during a recording session Monday. Sources say Dad wasn't happy with his son's singing -- and even brought him to tears.

[smilelkumeanit26]

Kind of like Simons jab at his dad last week when he wondered if Archuleta picked his own song

[chngdwrld]

...ain't it crazy-i mean look at all these hater's-jus craaazzzy-but dats life-don't trip.

[chngdwrld]

...stay strong while having fun dave-you can do it!

[hersheykiss73]

omg he is the best!!!!!!!!!! i truly love him and his singing , anyone who thinks he isnt good enough is definently smokin some kind of drug!! if he dosent win this competition i will never ever watch this show again!!!!!

[nicktylersickler]

well he did mess up in the lyrics so therefore he isnt that good. plus u shouldnt be messing up late in this competition. srry but he really butchered it. not good, all i can tell him is that he really needs to step it up if he wants to stay!

[TRAKY16]

love u david! i have ur back!!bb

[KittyKins57]

Good grief people, it wasn't THAT bad. Stop catastrophizing it and stop bashing him. I admire him for trying something different.

[seagullvmk]

mess up -.-

[ShadowofGohan]

Well at least he admits his mistakes and doesn't have a huge ego. Like when Paula says he's a front runner and he shakes his head and says no.

[taratova]

Kat Mc Phee messed up the lyrics and she was not sick and made it to # 2 so your comment is off the wall, plus David's voice is AWESOME AND HIS TIMING AND NATURAL ABILITY IS A RARE GIFT!!

[nylatinguy3000]

Does his 'sore throat' account for messing up the lyrics 3 times only 1 minute into the song???

You guys just think he's cute!!!

A lot of contestants have gone home for flubbed lyrics, but because David is 'cute' and everybody just 'loves' him, nobody will care.

And that's not fair to the other 11 who did their homework.

[msmcgregor]

but you have to remember that american idol is about finding someone who has the whole package so being cute does help! thats the way it works whether we like it or not.

[heartoftx]

oh lets talk about fair, that carly should not be there. she is ther bc al worked for the record company that used millions to produce her and only sold 300 copies. don't even say it's not fair for david to be there. yes he's cute and all the girls love him but it's clear that he has talent and anyone with any kind of music education knows some record company will snacth him up.

[nylatinguy3000]

Well, if you're gonna bring in the 'I Hate Carly' rant then point fingers at Michael Johns, Brooke White, Jason Castro, Kristy Lee Cook, who've all had previous record deals.

And David Archuleta already won Star Search, so what the heck is he doing on AI? For sport? To see if he can win 'this' one too?

Point fingers at Carly if you want, but don't act like she's the only one deserving of it; make an arguement against all of those mentioned, INCLUDING your precious Archuleta, to be 'Fair.'

[heartoftx]

yeah but al is the judge who knew what she was, and anyway he was like 10 when he won so shut your fat mouth. your just jealous of david bc all the girls like him

[nylatinguy3000]

Oh dear, the name calling already from a David A. Purist who can't bare to hear anything 'remotely' unpositive about their precious God Archuleta.

It appears you just hate Carly in general, and ignore the similiarites between others and David, bending over backwards for him to protect his status.

Just be a child and say: "No!!! What you said doesn't count," which is basically what you're saying.

Oh yes, I am super jealous! Please give me gasping breath and speech impediments too!!

[gerryhansolo]

good days, bad days. this was a mess. good luck dude! everyone knows, undeniably, you are an incredible talent! we want you to win. but you gotta work hard for consistency. sorr dude. best of luck!

[pjlarue25]

This line is very fast so he did not delivered it properly.....

"Run the risk of knowing that or love may "

[pjlarue25]

This line is very fast so he did not delivered it properly.....

"Run the risk of knowing that or love may "

[pjlarue25]

OMG David what happen....?!

That's Okay 100 percent sure u will not be eliminateD

[Eszlee1]

WE STILL LOVE YOU DAVID ARCHULETA!!!! (It's alright 2 have a bad week)

YOU CAN'T GO WRONG IF U SING A LOVE SONG! Some people can't get away with it.. but you definitely can!!! Do your thing.. were waiting for you to win!!! : )

[whitty4u]

It wasn't his best by far. :/

but he'll do better.

[1jammot]

Now I'm getting worried. His throat is still not 100%, and it's clearly getting at him

[pinkmoth28]

why dont you sing a love song next time? just a suggestion

[pinkmoth28]

why dont you sing a love song next time? just a suggestion

[pinkmoth28]

david, i wanna hug and say it's all right....WE LOVE YOU, YOU CAN DO BETTER next time, i said already the mellow songs are good for you, not the fast one....you seem to be uncomfortable with fast songs so stick to the songs that work out for you...hugs and kissesss

[ShellyShular]

A thought....why would they put David last for the 2nd time 4 weeks, thats a lot of pressure to close the show. Besides the longer you have to wait to perform the more nervous you get and he already stated he was nervous to begin with...hmmm !!!

[lachfalte]

wtf ... that was terrible!

[ShellyShular]

David has a beautiful voice and is by far the best vocalist on the show, don't forget he has proven himself in the past....don't give up on David, so he had a few nerves...he's a kid.

Once he gets his recording contract and sings in the studio he will sound awesome on the radio and freakin gorgeous on MTV videos *yum* ...can't wait!!!

[idolfreak06]

I agree he's got a great voice and granted he's just just 17 so he's still got alot of potential. So if this is what he sounds like at this age Man! he'll be scary good as he ages!!

[panterrmatt]

WTF is happening with/to him?!
