[joyzZbeliiebeRlopez]

[nazalea27]

why is youtube so mean to david? :/

[triiish09]

@nazalea27 mean on what ?

[Propertyofkevin7]

He's so cute :D

Everything from his shirt to his voice.

[rajncatcher9x]

very great



[abeleejames]

I was so mad when they deleted this video of 5 million hits. Why? This performance was one of the best ones on the show. His R&B side of vocals is showing well.

[noralhidayah]

@abeleejames why? why did youtube done that? unfair. n mean.

[wqxqzqz]

david cook rocks

[Darielys0678]

@wqxqzqz no he doesnt david archuleta is waaayyy better

[baf0931]

Stand By Me video of David had 5+million views and you tube removed it. This 103,000 views is put at back page, way back.

David still has great fans and his live concerts are amazing. You got to see and meet David at his concerts. He has grown vocally and his live performance is amazing.

[calugcug21]

AI got screwed with his lyrics here. haha

[hughiegrant]

Season 7 is one of THE BEST seasons in AI HISTORY. next to Season 1, 2 and 4. GAH. I LOVE PAULA, SIMON, RANDY and RYAN!!!!! :( I MISS THEM!!!!!

[heidi9173]

His voice is so sexy.!!!

[BiaP16]

PERFECT !

[Rivalen5]

Nice to see Carly Smithson right behind the judges cheering him on. Love season 7!

[TheDangerEmilia]

His voice is great But i know a better guy who sings this song Check him out

Jan Bendig Stand By Me,Sorry i would send the link but it wont work

[cherryblossom426]

But even without winning AI he has still had major success and has great fans to support him...I cant wait for his next album!

[MistiqFiend]

great performance

[iluvdolls17]

Yeah, what happened to 3 mil viewed video? Anywayy....congrats, David, on your book "Chords of Strength!" ...And on your new single coming out in July! Cannot wait to finally hear your new music! Aagh!

[collegemom12]

abeleejames - I can not believe that the 5million-plus viewed Stand By Me is not here. One by one someone has been pulling Archuleta's high view videos. (Remember when Imagine had many 1million-plus Imagine videos pulled? Or the Finale songs million-viewed videos were pulled within a month of the finale. I can not believe that the 5million version of this video is now gone.

[gyles300]

@collegemom12 i with u there

[abeleejames]

Where is his "Stand by Me' over 5 million hits? Youtube deleted it again? Gosh, what's wrong with you?

[Jacc0s]

David's got the voice!!

[emforty2]

the songs composers are the great ones

singers come and go....

[bubblegumlover91]

his voice is so powerful, that it doesn't sound like a 17 year old singing. and i love his personal versions of the songs- he always adds a bit of the David Archuleta touch onto it. and this song is PERFECT for him. it's relaxed, romantic and cute. and JUST LISTEN TO THOSE PEOPLE CLAPPING FOR HIM. <3

does anybody have this song in mp3 version? live or studio version is fine. please msg me. thanks! =)

[ashly56]

[yoJ0NASyo]

PLEASE PLEASE VOTE FOR DAVID ARCHULETA TONIGHT, TUESDAY MAY 13th!!!!!!!!!

[xjennxo14]

at 1:30... is he singing Beautiful Girls by Sean Kingston? lmao.

[johnnyp7]

yeah that's what got his dad in trouble and get banned, coz apparently this has cost Fox a lot.

[cindyloud]

its just a bunch of hype about davids dad, the poor kid has been a target for criticism since he began, noone ever attacks david cook

[wantsomecoffee]

i hope this punk and his dad get voted off. i'm sick of him.

[ajamaicanparadox1]

He reminds me of somebody who belongs in HS Musical. He has a fantastic tone but he did not sing that song well. I feel this boy has never found his niche, and people are screaming over him for absolutely NO REASON! He's adorable, yes! However, its just so lackluster. Stand By Me, sung by BEN E. KING! He did not do this song justice whatsoever!

[sweetlovin5678]

I agree completely!

[194623]

This guy has a nice tone to his voice ....but....he has absolutely no stage presence, maybe a little more maturity will improve this weakness in his prefomances????

[kedisbrow]

Andrea Jamison, AI spokesperson, said: "The rumor that surfaced yesterday on an entertainment Web site about Mr. Archuleta are categorically false. As part of normal procedures at American Idol, all family members of contestants and personal coaches are prohibited from participating during the final two weeks of the competition and the finale. 'The ban', if you will, applies to all family members...did not single out Mr. Archuleta nor do producers have any problems with his conduct whatsoever."

[Vee57]

his good(=

[utahaztec]

His dad is a creep.

[davidarchuletarockss]

His dad really got banned?

[william123joseph]

I don't think so!

[myimmortalromance95]

I LOVE YOU DAVID!!

[naleeann]

I don't think his dad was banned, but there were royalties that had to be paid out and AI was mad. I think they definitely blew it out of proportion. That is what a family friend said.

[blahtech101]

does anybody notice that david slipped a line in from sean kingston's "beautiful girls"???

and then only to know that today his dad was again banned from the american idol backstage...i think that he's causing david to do things he doesn't want to...cuase according to idol, the line slip was jeff's idea....hmmm?

[arohalove]

Yeah i just read an article about it. Apparently Idol is upset because that one line cost them a lot of money.

[blahtech101]

is it really? wow...big mistake here jeff

[Idolfan077]

I agree with blahtech101 cause David's dad does force him to do things that he doesn't want to do, now he's caused himself to be banned so that's him own fault. in my opinion, not to be rude, but I'm glad that his dad was banned from the studio so now David A. can actually think for himself for once.

[gkgapino]

dope..really DOPE

[lovexconquersx]

That was AWESOME!

[nodoubt009]

YAY david!!

[Efrongirl07]

I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!! HE IS GONNA WIN!

[TotallyJonas]

I noticed that too. I was like-how awesome was that. I can't get enough of David's voice.

[abcdafan]

He is amazing! David Archuleta for the win.

[sugarandspice095]

i've never heard this song so i kind of expected him (not taking into consideration the week's theme) to say "all you beautiful girls they'll make you suicidal suicidal...."

[lubhmuah]

Gosh, Didn't you heard? He only sang a line, which is "All you Beautiful Girls," which is very clever.The prodigy proved that you can run all over a simple melody but still make it recognizable.David slipped in a line from Sean Kingston's "Beautiful Girls," instantly making the ancient track sound fresh and new without relying on flashy distortion or emo-whine

[1jammot]

lubhmuah: That is so well spotted!!! David A a;ways seems to have one more card to play than the others: It's called musical intelligence.

[sugarandspice095]

yeah i thought that was clever

[Im4Waffles]

I love him soooo much great amazing singer

[heidijoshua]

thats was really good.Not his usual tone.Nice change.And the high notes were controlled really nicely.

[carlit0s86]

I can watch this over and over AND over again...

[00callme]

DAVID:

D=DASHING

A=AWESOME/ADORABLE/AMAZING/AWE­-INSPIRING

V=VERY TALENTED

I=INCREDIBLE

D=DARLING

that describes him all...oh! did i miss EXTREMELY CUTE??

WE LOVE YOU DAVID!!

[rverb10]

HE SO CUTE N TALENTED

[kathyqz]

"And all of you beautiful girls"... if that doesn't get him votes, nothing will! I actually think it was cute in the act. I'm old enough to be his mom, and just thought he knew what he was doing. Good for him. He does hit the stage ready to go. Hot! Fire!

[jo3yjb]

i can listen to david singing over and over again ^_~

[nascargirls123]

same here hes amazing

[Thetaquo]

01:25 - where the f**k did that come from? I've always heard him struggle around the A-Bb area, and then he rips out a rich high C all of a sudden! Did he manage to kink out his passagio in one week? Amazing.

[reester90]

are you really nascargirls123?!!!! i wanna go SOOO bad but i gotta work :( i'll watch him on the news i guess

[DummbGiRL]

Archuleta bringing the sexy back.

[nascargirls123]

god david is so hot im going to the thing there throwing him when he comes back to ut yay

[xopoptartz333ox]

jason =[

[alejoysusy]

who got kicked off tonight?

[littleliza2008]

hes going to win it easily hes crazy talented and hes young enough that once his contract he can expand i love him and david cook but david cook needs to go on and make his own records without an american idol contract, but it would be a perfect begining for david A

[moviefreek234]

I LOVE him!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

[arpeggiodude]

Wow he's ADORABLE!

and when he said "and all you beautiful girls" was that just like something he added or was it reallly in the lyrics?

Anway, SEXY davee.

[meggnog17]

the "beautiful girls" by sean kingston song that was popular last summer was inspired by this song.. it has the same tune in the chorus.

[cindyloud]

WE will love you tender and we will always stand by you babe, great night !

[rverb10]

i love this song and he is so cute hope he wins!!

[Joss4you]

David Archuleta you are AMAZING! It was hot! He's got talent! And he is totally adorable.

[12skmf]

i like david cook is good too.

i think archuleta looks more like a long term investment for any producer.

he has a verrrry long career ahead of him.

he appeals to a wider audience(children, teens, middle age and seniors.

david also has something that probably looks good in the overall scheme of things. if he sings this good at 17, he's like another mariah carey, whitney houston, or celine dion, he can be taught and molded and reshaped to be any amazing performer they want. yeah its archie.

[Thetaquo]

cook would make a hell of a singer/producer though

[tjs1264]

I think he's a robot, all circuitry and wires. He reminds me of one of those robots you see on a Disney World ride, like 'its a small world' or something. He's totally phoney and overly programmed, most likely by his stage Dad. Sadly, this twerp will win, but David Cook should win.

[1jammot]

tjs: If David A makes you so unhappy, fine, make your comment, preferably without insults, cheap-shots and wildly imagined "facts", and go to a video where you will be happy. Best for us, best for you.

[hilifakisifa]

david sings from his heart and it touch the core of my being...

My IDOL WINNER...

[12skmf]

for those guys that are hatin on david, let me let you in to a little secret. if you think this was to slow, women are thinking what a hot slow lover, this kid is going to grow up to be. and when he looks some woman in the eyes, and slowly says he loves her, with those pouty lips, hhmmmmmmm...

ITS GOOD TO BE DAVID ARCHULETA...

he may not be a man yet, but everyone out there wants to make him one.

DONT HATE...

[charvelguitars]

Exactly what I've been saying. He is of course a very talented singer and it's close between him & Cook for the best voice. Though I agree with the others, a concert of his would be uber boring. Unlike how Johns and Cook rock the stage.

[CShorty55]

He did our sign again!

[WEbeFLYson90]

wodis82. shut up. your jealous be cause hes so amazing

[wodis82]

boring

[PorcelainHeart07]

He's good. Yeah he's adorable, and his concert would be boring unless he leans how to move around the stage. I agree with Ryan it seems like he's always going to pass out or something when the judges are talking to him.

[charvelguitars]

Exactly what I've been saying. He is of course a very talented singer and it's close between him and Cook for being the best singer. Though a concert of his what be uber boring. Otherwise where someone like Cook or Johns could rock the stage!

[chubbyandsexy]

david arch is off the charts adorable. i just wanna squeeze his head off and use it as a keychain LOL. like when he finishs singing he looks so shy and he blushes when they give him compliments. LOL. Poor little David. And of course he is an amazing singer right now he is the best out of the four.

[hotroddavis]

He can sing, but his concerts would be boring. Who would want to go see someone stand in one place for 3 hrs.

[12skmf]

and your point is?

did you think that was going to devistate us or something? did you think it would stop us from voting for david, or do you think you will change our minds?

you dont know people very well, it means nothing to us, see we like david, thats why we are here looking at his video,thats why thousands of people have watched all his videos since he came on, and we will buy his concert tickets too. why dont you let us worry about the boredom thing ok?

but thanks for the advice.

[hotroddavis]

Did you think I care about your opinion? Did you think that your someone who matters to me? Did you think I wasn't asking a rhetorical question? The ultimate question here is, Do you think?

[12skmf]

NO I DIDNT THINK THAT...

but than i didnt really care if you did care, cause i'm just that kind of person. but now that you surprized me and got your feelings hurt, i guess i should say, sorry dude.

DO I THINK? ARE YOU ASKING ME THAT QUESTION?

WHY? ARE YOU TRYING TO ENGAGE ME IN A CONVERSATION?

NO, I DONT THINK, WHAT OF IT?

[hotroddavis]

Yeah, my feelings are hurt by what some random person online says! If I was bothered by crappy little people's opinion, like you were with my boredom of David A.

[seresballet1]

well, i just have to say this is a singers contest, and they are trying to make the best vocals and stuff, not a choreography or anything. and just so you know this shows have a cam directors and he says whaht they will do and where they will stand. why would we think his concerts will beboring? we dont even know what kind of cd he will record. lol just see his talent, his voice is amazing. and yes i know my english is terrible, well, im not from usa. if i was there i would vote for D ARCHULETA

[1jammot]

seresballet. You write English better than most of the fools and haters who come here because they can do nothing to save their fave from a humiliating defeat. That's because you wrote what you heart feels.

That's what David A does: he sings the songs the way his heart feels them!

[DanceSisters]

ahh...this one was good.

[AnjelicaJonas]

I wanna pinch his cheeks :]

[HeLives4Me2]

David A is Amazing and has the voice of an Angel!

He could easily in a short period of time be another Josh Groban.

My vote is for you DAVID...

[josh19791]

I really don't get the whole David thing! I mean he's a good singer, but he's 17 and he sings the sappiest songs. I mean I either feel lulled or preached to when he sings. and...the dude isn't cute. Really he's not. He deserves to still be in cuase he sings well, but I just can't see him winning. His personality is sooo boring.

[AcrossDaUniverse]

I Will Always stand by you! Ur are my hero!!!

I truely love Archies voice and him ofcourse. Keep up the good work!! =]

[dancinglite]

David's really in his element when he sings this. Great tenor voice, and a good stage presence. Go for the Gold, David!

[Allelse318]

DAVID ARCHULETA FOR THE WIN

[cutiepie14920]

I think im in love...

To everyone who sends hateful comments, please dont trash our favorite just bcuz ur favorite isnt the same. Lots of people luv David Archuleta and obviously some dont but please stop with the stupid comments!!

As i was saying before, this was an AMAZINGG performance!!! He is v. adorable and i sooo wish i could meet him!

I LOVE YOU DAVID!!!!!!!

[seyerzaj]

He really doesn't have a lot of character but his voice is definitely amazing. Hands down!

But the fact that people are saying he's going to be the winner is mostly by the fact that he is indeed a very pretty boy.

Honestly, I find him the most boring contestant whenever he goes up on that stage, but a pretty boy and voice.

[dustye01]

I am absolutley in Love with this boy.....He is the best and everyone knows it! Don't be jealous....David is the BEST!!!

[cristina28xo]

that was awesome!! I really believe this is his best performance, i love how he added his own little twist and changed up the melody, but he didnt overdue it, which some singers can do..I just loved it!!!

[mizzltm]

Yes I agree just ignore them, don't waste your time reading their negative/harsh comments! They just can't admit that David did really amazing last night! AMAZING Kid!

[KaitLMH]

Beautiful, David Archuleta. Or is it beautiful David Archuleta!

Fans, ignore the haters. Pretend you can't read their trash and post your positivity!

[1996075]

i really want him to win... and all you haters.. if you do not like him.. then please do not stoop so low as to call him these awful things. YOU ARE JUST JEALUOS THAT DAVID ARCHULETA WAS THE BEST TONIGHT... and since all the wladies are going for him.. i am sure deep down you people wish you were him.. thus retaliating with your patethic hateful comments... (grow up all you haters)

[Jinjameta]

The most amazing thing about this boy, is when you listen to his song first time, you say oh it's nice, but then you find yourself listening to his songs over and over again. He is the only one who makes feel like that. You are simply amazing baby, America VOTE and VOTE for David A. he well deserves it

[cofguitar]

I think he is 85% Homosexual. Good singer...just a homo.

[rairaicute]

It was boooooooooooooooorrrring.

[flamingowen]

Oh, yea, baby. David Arculeta. Daviiiidd!!!!

hiedounoubi:

you don't know what the word "talent" means...

David Archuleta has looks, talents and personality...so, stop saying negative things about the boy.
