He has a gift for applying a different style to a song, in some cases even nudging it into another musical genre. What he did here with "Crazy" is what he's done with "Heaven" (Bryan Adams) and "Imagine" (Lennon)... take a wonderful original and make an equally wonderful new version. What makes him successful at this is his appreciation and respect for the songs/artists he covers.
2:16 - "just like me" .... that type of falsetto he needs to take more advantage of. It gives him so much more flexibility to expand his songs. He's really good at it, but he just doesn't realise that he is. Even Mariah Carey told him this.
He does look pretty shy here - but man, I love this song! Compare him here at just 17 to now doing Fields of Gold or Zero Gravity on stage in his concerts - or doing the duet with Jordan Sparks a couple weeks ago or last week on stage with We the Kings - David rocking out at 19 is something to see!
yes, me too....i don't know a lot of songs but not until david will sing them. that's the only time that i would pay attention to them... those singers should be thankful to david if he sings their song!!!!
are you kidding me? Thankful? Gnarls Barkley should slap a bitch. The way that he is playing this doesn't fit the mood or the lyrics of the song at all.
my goodness! he did an amazing job on this song!! at first, i expected him to be all upbeat like the gnarls barkley version, but this version is much sweeter.
One again the original "copy" of this video on YouTube was taken off some time ago and now we have to start all over. What keeps happening to David's videos? It's like there's a conspiracy. Anyway, we'll never see David's version from AI, this is as close as it will get. But good enough! Wish he'd record the whole version for a CD. No wonder Simon said he was incredible!
Forgot to add that he doesn't look the greatest (or even sound the greatest for that matter) because he & his dad overslept & had to rush to the studio, so David was not only half asleep but his face was all puffy due to allergies. Still, he did pretty good under the circumstances.
I love him singing this song so muchj! I wish he would sing it in concert. This is the song he sang first in Hollywood Week where Simon said it was "incredible" but we never got to see it. Great song.
I hope that he sometime sings this on tour because I just love it! This is the song that Simon said was incredible during Hollywood Week (but they never showed him singing it - just sitting at the piano when he was finished.
Considering he was half-asleep and sick with allergies, he did pretty good! I'm sure this is the only performance we'll ever see of "Crazy," as AI refuses to broadcast David's original Hollywood audition. By the way, what happened to the original video of this that was posted last July that had almost 1 million views? Once again, someone is trying to make David's videos appears as though no one watches them. Wrong!
Well, David & Jason Castro sang it for Hollywood Week, but they couldn't broadcast it because they didn't have the rights to the song to air it on TV.
David Archuleta can deliver his song beautifully and clearly and with intesity and emotion as if he is painting the words to a song - Not every singer has that kind of gift. Thats what make him so unique as an ARTIST.
great interpretation, original and soft. Unforgettable. Much better than others because he has a special voice and he knows how to put deep feeling in every song that he sings even if the song is banal as 'crazy'.
omg HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE AMERICAN IDOL. PEOPLE WERE SO SURE HE'D WIN, THEY DIDN'T VOTE FOR HIM ENOUGH! that's my theory anyway, i don't care!!! OWNAGE
Wow, I just keep coming back to hear "Crazy" by David. Hopefully someone can get Gnarls Barkley -- or whoever it is -- to release his Audition tape they had to take off You Tube.
I always wondered what his performance was like, since he did it during Hollywood week but they couldn't show it (due to not being able to clear the rights) - so finally got to hear/see it, thanks for posting!
You are a gifted man, David...no doubt about that
