[lululemonathletica]

[theangelinthecrowd]

Such a talented dork. I love this kid.

[racheliciouslai]

LOVE his oversized outfit. So adorable! <3

[brucileh17]

he was so young here,...but i still love it.. so much

[LlOov3u]

*just dropped dead*

[xCuteButPsycho86]

This kid was never supposed to be able to sing again cuz of health reasons and now look at him! Gotta give credit where it is due.

[xCuteButPsycho86]

24 people are deaf apparently.

[Zenuen]

@xCuteButPsycho86 Ya probably because of all those yelling girls lol

[Swiftfan7918]

DANGGGGGG!!!!!!!!! that boy can really sing lol i love his voice and his smile

[densonvivo]

o.O :)))

[jirouo8]

Question, is this before AI or what? He looks absolutely young (and cute, mind you) but the uploading date confuses me. Or maybe it's just me. ^^;;

[michelle092893]

He looks so young yet so charming!

This video, was this taken before he auditioned in AI???

Oh God, wasn't he VERY TALENTED? I LOVE HIS VOICE SO MUCH!

FEEL LIKE I'M IN HEAVEN ~~~~~~

[retroviolet]

@michelle092893 I believe this was before AI, possibly a year or more before? I thought there used to be a dated on it.

[cmom12]

@retroviolet This was when he was in 8th grade at a school talent show. So he was most likely 14 since he turned 14 in December of 8th grade.

[michelle092893]

@retroviolet cool. Wow.he really is talented. :) <3

[TheBlueroseo889]

8th grader... WoW !!! The Best performance!

[ShaaandyyVEVO]

i want meet David Archuleta :)

[zhy88ify]

He is not as famous as the others who are not worthy of it because he doesn't want to give up his virtues..and i'm content where he is right now..i don't want him to be corrupted by some dirty people in the world of entertainment.

[izzyangel16]

im always singing this osng to my sister lol now i feel so crappy xD

[glorymashy]

guys can u make ill be by david vs justin bieber the sing ill be too !!! i know david wins!!!so lets just beat up justin bieber ..!!!hes better than justin bieber!!!

[kagome13234]

[Berneyba]

OMGG he's so cute!

[justinefabulous123]

@belieber0922 What happen?! 

[silverh3art97]

OMG!!!!!!!!! I LUV U!!!!!!!

[Denicevias]

i caught a boy screaming for david .. looks like his charm aren't just for girls !!!

[Denicevias]

suddenly i felt I want to be his classmate !!! <3

[QuiksilverChik]

beautiful...nuff said:)

[mikeysrose]

He is such an adorable little guy. I rooted for him from his very first AI audition. :-)

[CharissaHalton]

@mikeysrose oh my gosh! i agree with you! hah when i first read your comment though i was like WAHT!! because im from Australia and when someone says rooted it meas have sex:/ hahah but i get it now:)

[mikeysrose]

@CharissaHalton rotfl Sorry for the miscommunication!

[4luvisall]

That voice and that killer smile. In the song he said "he'd be better when he was older" so David doesn't lie. And I don't know what it is about that smile. Geez almighty, he is one charming young man!

[edward007ify]

u best singer...

i like u

[wishywashywara]

ok that audience was goin in. we all know david is fantastic but why couldnt they sit there and enjoy the song a bit more quietly so i could hear him better????

[tj4steelers]

How would you like to follow that on stage - this is so good - one of my favorite songs to hear him sing.

[grandof8]

I watch and wonder why this didn't go viral compared to some that have without the talent. I guess need to be patient and the best is yet to come. Love you David!

[zachary95959595]

@2:30 is when its gets to be the best i think

[GoodDeedADay]

I was blessed to get to hear David sing this song live at a VIP ... I'm surprised I'm still breathing, lol, it was sooooo incredible. Loving his new album "The Other Side of Down" ... there's no one like him, truly.

[OnigiriFace]

David I wish i can reach you :((

[bieberboy316]

hmm.....vocal paraylisis? i don't hear it there :)

[curikit]

Wow, had not seen that video. Wish David had tried out in Seasons 9 or 10, there would have been no stopping that juggernaut. He is so much better than just about everyone I ever hear (and I am a Cook fan). This song gave me goosebumps, amazing. And why isn't he on the wall for Season 10? He should be, he is so, so good. Love him singing this song. It is a gift.

[bieberboy316]

@curikit- bc he didn't win. only the winners go on the audition wall

[lemonpezz]

This is REAL talent. David is older now with even better vocals and more charisma and charm than ever! Keep it going, Archie! You and your music are in for bigger and better things to come!

[izzybear107]

beautifully delivered! what was this a talent show? if it was i bet he won lmao but gosh he is amazing!! ♥

[lesarchie]

crazy crazy crazy

[aquinokleng]

nice david :)

i hate the CROWD!

[moonliteforest]

The clothes look too big for him.. XD But his singing blows my mind! 14 years old? I don't believe it.. Lol.

[michneyjowil]

i had goosebumps while im listening to this. what a superb rendition!! keep it up.. :)

[collegemom12]

This was at his 8th grade talent show when he was around 14. (he turned 14 in 8th grade)

[litzy91]

Where was this?

[teaina100]

david archuleta looks like a retarded monkey. he sucks.

[Terese127]

He has the most amazing voice and he is sooo cute!

[magpiefemme]

gosh he's so tiny!!!!!! cute!

[sw33ty212]

beautiful!!I never get tired of hearing this!<3

[Fisher8562]

This was already one of my favorite songs and he just made it even better<3

[ItsAmarisaHunii]

Ok so I've never been a big fan of David Archuleta but this song + his voice = amazingness <3

[khaity15]

23 people accidentically dislike the button ;)

[SierraaaLynnn]

At 2:01 I got chill bumps :)

[cindyrella83]

It is better to be respected than popular.

[jessica4551]

i'm not going to lie he surprised me with this.

this is a legend of a song, and he did it justice.

kudos to him.

[MrMetthias]

when you smile the world smiles with you =)

[MrMetthias]

who says u need to do crazy riffs to prove that u can sing.. slow and easy will do. pure talent..

[raythespian]

23 poor tone-deaf people didn't like this performance. That's sad...but also hilarious!!

[fabulousRachel11]

I'll be the greatest fan of his life

[xlilcourttney]

i luv this song and i love his voice

[princesssanz03]

See, that's how you really can charm young ladies! And that killer smile. If looks could kill, we'll be all dead by now. XD

[AshleyMarieCady]

@princesssanz03 i no right

[GummieBearr1]

@princesssanz03 <3

[skimx333]

LOL he has such a cute smile along with that voice of his~!

[123vna]

@skimx333 i kno his voice is amazing!!! and that smile kills me

[Babykatze1991]

woow is talent is amazing!!! his voice is amazing!!

[RachaelArchie19]

OMGOSH this is amazing... I love this video. He is soooo amazing, and he was 14 here. I'm 14 now... :)

[iloveteddybear100]

is this before or after american idol?

[collegemom12]

@iloveteddybear100 well, since was 14 here (in 8th grade) and he tried out for Idol when he was 16 (the summer going into his Junior Year (3rd yr) in high school), he was 2-3 years younger here. (he is 19.5 now).

[JessBisme]

haha, i like how he keeps grinning when the girls scream. It's cute.

[xlisuhhh]

what was this for ?

[collegemom12]

@xlisuhhh This was when he was 14 and this was his 8th grade talent show.

[lesarchie]

I'm his biggest fan 2. ha, he is a shy boy. He looks so serious when singing on the stage.

[christianjharrison]

I'M HIS BIGGEST FAN THUMBS UP IF YOU DON'T AGREE xD

[joyybabcock]

@ZaneXY45@ ya David Archuleta is AMAZING... but Justin Bieber also has talent. Just because he's young doens't mean anything..

I abso-freaking-lutely love you DAVID ARCHULETA

[OMGPaolo]

I'll be!

[lv2cheer2013]

Aww. Hes super cuteee

[nmh1995]

I watched this video a couple of years ago and loved it. I'm watching it two years later and I still love it! GO DAVID!<3

[bboddfan]

He's amazing!! Can you imagine how the person who had to follow him must have felt? I'm glad it wasn't me.

[AtTheMidnightHour]

he's so wonderful and pure. i'm a fan for life

[tidalol]

OH MANN <3 ! (;

[ToxicDevotion]

oh my... I think I MAY have fallin in love :]

Wonderful.

I love seeing stars now back in the day singing. He truly deserves everything he's accomplished.

[Iheartchester]

1. I love how he's so simple, and doesn't try to be anyone else.

2. He's gorgeous.

3. His voice is actually amazing I swear.

4. He's gorgeous.

:)

[silverstein484]

i love his shirt ....ADIO

[jbdanielle20]

wow how old was he here?! hes got talent!!!!!! i love him

[collegemom12]

@jbdanielle20 He was 14 here (he turned 14 in December of 8th grade and this is his 8th grade talent show). If you want to really hear/see something amazing - watch the youtube of him singing with full orchestra when he was a couple years younger than this one (type in to the youtube line: "david archuleta joyful, joyful"). It is only a partial song but just great.

[kirbo12012]

adam is probably a better singer than u so shut up u aint got no room to talk k hater dont get jelous of other peoples fame k cuz its pathetic bye im bored im gonna go and listen to justin beiber and adam lambert

[AIfan18]

archuleta has the best voice everrrrrrrrr.......love this song.

[brittb8395]

better than the goo goo dolls

[collegemom12]

Can you imagine going to someone's 8th grade talent show and hearing this? Watching some 14-year-old sound like this? And as usual, he walked out on that stage and had total control of the crowd. It is fun to watch this and then watch him at age 19 singing Zero Gravity in concert.

[justme120180]

..and that smile!

[ily2thafullest]

` davids always got a cute smile !

[ThatNatalieGirl]

ha, i saw him at the tree lighting ceremony on hollywood blvd. like two years ago. i had no idea he was going to be there and when i showed up and he was there, i literally had a conniption fit.

he's greatt.<3

[GDemilysarmyfan]

Damn he's pretty good

[roobuslolzzzzz]

anybody see that bounce thing he did with his legs in the begining before he started singing? what does it mean??!!! i see boys do that all the time. are they nerves? exited????

[mariabonita911]

David YOu are amazing!!!

[kadigurl1]

aww he already had screaming fan girls :) cute haha

[gdwme]

he has a rare ability to connect with an audience.

[collegemom12]

It amazes me - Archuleta as an 8th grader already having people scream for his singing and anytime he smiles the crowd reacts. I have seen him in person at age 19 and just like here, he walks out on the stage and has total control.

[Mikiquaila14]

@collegemom12 Is he really an 8th grader in this video?

[avoice4Christ]

Oh my goodness.... <3 <3

[Wh73v3R]

Perfect!! and his smile is so sweet..... :P

[davidsings0509]

DUDE DAVID CAN OWN THIS SONG! anyway come check out my version and tell me what you think

[chashley09]

one of my all time favorite songs :) and this is amazing.

[cheeer4chargers]

:) omg david archuleta is sooo cute! i love himm! he is amazing!

[TheVIPTiffArchie]

OMG first time i saw this.I got that chill feeling you get wen someone's singing voice sounds that good.Plus this is one of my favorites,Such a great song.He just absolutely makes me fall in love

[MyBobsmith]

1000th comment

[ILOVEEROBPATTINSON1]

he was right:

"i'll be better when im older"

[morgan111213]

Says the person who loves Rob Pattinson...

[raythespian]

He was a star even then!!!!

[2008macarena2008]

su cabello era diferente

[ilovelaughin365]

Aw even way back then he had girls screaming for him :D

If this was a talent show, I think we know who won :)

[spankyroser]

David = Simply Amazing

[2011ty1102]

how would you like to follow that?

[DA1DC]

Amazing voice, none better. And he's an amazing young man.

[PolaroidBianca]

i still love you david archuleta <3

[lysee35]

love him! he reminds me of my son lol

[davidafanno1]

he was

SOOOOO YOUNG

[collegemom12]

No - he wasn't 15 - it was his 8th grade talent show at school and he turned 14 in December of 8th grade. (remember he was 16 in the summer he tried out for Idol and 17 by January when the top 24 started airing on Idol. He just turned 19.

[Merlin435]

he already had a very mature voice at 15! Was he 15 here?

[whatafeelingxx]

haha actually i've heard that he was only 14 in this video! but yes, whether he's 14 or 15 here, he has a very nice mature voice. :)

[craziejonasfanxo1]

heeeeee is amazingggg! i loveee him!<333

[happyhappydays122]

@caleb2020 ur right. sucks to be next after that lol

[bethhmarie93]

he is too cute!

i just love David Archuleta.

<33

keep it up (:

[kotabear15]

God blessed you :)

[kotabear15]

lol

[KemperFA24]

lmao

[collegemom12]

8th grade - even at that age Archuleta had the voice and the ability to have the crowd's total attention - that's called charisma and he already had it then because it's something you either have or you don't. It's that certain something.

[justme120180]

Yep, the IT factor, and David's got it!

[sinatrarchuleta]

love ya david! you can sing anything!

[h44512]

ooomg.

[spasoutgirl]

he ia amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tapperxo248]

i love this songggg, and i love him<3

he sounds amazing <3 perfect song. perfect guy<3

[cristal342]

i luuuuuuuuuuuuv him more than anything in the world!!!!!!!!!!!

[wojtek0000]

best vocal of this song i ever heard, even with this shitty recording his voice is amazing on this song.

[skatergirlthatsme]

he looks so young!

[cristal342]

DAVID CAN ROCK ANY SONG IN DA WORLD

[collegemom12]

Yes it was a talent show - 8th grade (age 14). After I watch this I watch the youtube of him in concert singing "Zero Gravity" - he's really grown up!

[MrMonsterkaraoke]

Rather hear him then that screaming theatrical bitch Adam Lambert...lol...that guy blows big-time the way he gays up Led Zeppelin and other stuff.Archuleta is cool though and can at least pass with a male voice.

[lilcassie128]

@MrMonsterkaraoke Shut up!! frekien Adam Lambert has talent!!!! David would actually need talent if he was as good as Adam Lambert!!!

[MrMonsterkaraoke]

@lilcassie128 I have heard Drag Queens that can sound just as theatrical and feminine as Adam...high notes and all. Adams voice is not so unusual in the Drag world. Adam really mimics Christina Aguilera when it comes to OVER-SINGING. Drag Queens train their voices to reach high octaves and YES....full voice even.

[wickedphant0m]

@MrMonsterkaraoke Wow...who exactly is the bitch here? I'm confused.

[Boprey148]

I know! I heard one of Adam's songs on the Radio and spent the whole time trying to decide if it was Pink or a guy!!!

[ZaneXY45]

He's an amazing talent. In fact, he has more talent in his little finger than Justin wanna-be Bieber has in his whole body.

[froggiefroggie123]

Love that!!! He does have more talent than Justin Fagget Beiber!!!

[abangel16]

I agree that David is a much better singer than Justin, but you don't have to call Justin a faggot. They're both artists and deserve respect for dedicating themselves in what they love to do and succeeding in it.

[TheSpicygymnast]

@ZaneXY45 i dont think hes more talented hes just better at this song

[Laffyx3Therese]

@ZaneXY45 Yeah I knnow that's sooo True!! Justin sounds like a girl! Hate him! Love David! <3

[gspfan93]

@ZaneXY45 lmfao smart man, once justin biebers balls drop hes out of the buisness=P

[wejerkforbiebs]

@ZaneXY45 i love david archuleta, hes very talented. but justin bieber is no where near a "wanna be". he didnt try to get discovered like many of singers.. it just happened. both david archuleta and justin bieber have real talent.

[princesssanz03]

@wejerkforbiebs yeah? but JB is obviously basking in the attention. David stays grounded and humble :D

[wejerkforbiebs]

@princesssanz03 how is he basking in the attention? im not trying to sound rude or anything, i just dont see how..

[breannamariep]

love this song

love him

perfect :]

[twilightfanatic96]

*gets wide eyes as jaw drops to the floor* i knew he was good and all but i love this song and its my fave in the whole world no matter what other people say and they sound the same

[girlygirlma]

hes sooo hott i love his voice too

[shandymaeyap]

OMG, HE IS SO CUTE !

[doomdiglet]

Love the lyrics. He's so young in this video. Reminds me so much of my high school phase back then =)

[collegemom12]

This was when he was 14 at his school's 8th grade talent show. (he's almost 19 now)

[cocobeans98]

he looks really nervous. was this like a long time ago?!

[Meangirlmeq]

you my friend are awesome David . (: .

[zebbrabudd414]

ah, I love this video.

he is so talented, then and now.

he was cute then, now he is a stud (:

DAVID ARCHULETA FAN FOR LIFE<33

[sinatrarchuleta]

its awesome. his parents are sooooo lucky

if he was my son or if I was her sister, I will feel the most luckiest girl in the whole world.

i'm not a mom okay

i'm 13 years old

XXDD

[prettyprinsess1042]

Oh my, its beautiful.

[annijoke]

gish. I love his voice soo much.<3

[xoZanessaTroyellaxo]

he sounds better than the original!!! :)

[MichRockz1]

tee amooo i love you

:)

bye

[yazziepants]

He could literally sing anything! love himm x

[loveAi7DA]

haha, people are going crazy when they see he's going to sing for them. it's probibly a crowd that knows about this guy's voice and singing abilities. notice the screems when he licks his lips... and at 1:37 when he lets a smile slip, lol.

[justme120180]

when you got it, you got it.

[ImKhild]

Wow

so nice

[collegemom12]

This was his 8th grade talent show at school. He turned 14 in December of 8th grade. He was 16 in the summer when he tried out for Idol (after 10th grade) and turned 17 in the December right before the top 24 started showing on tv in January in the middle of 11th grade (his Junior year in high school).

[KcKommunistisch]

Who says he's only 14? He looks like he's 16 or 17 when he just auditioned for American Idol.

[archangel32843]

its impossible for a guy like THIS to NOT have a girlfriend :) hes so mature and sensible, he doesn't want to rush into it.

I wonder how many girls went after him?
