American Idol Finale - David Cook and Archuleta - Hero

[heartofzorro]

Spider-man

[ZeroToHero77]

This was easily the best season of American Idol. None could even compare with David Archuleta and David Cook.

[LariaAC]

This is ridiculous. I feel like an idiot smiling so damn hard as I watch this vid. I find their duet so wonderful; that you can tell the distinct difference between their voices yet together they create a melodious wonderful blend.

[altarboyzlover]

Wow, and somebody else has said this, but their voices blend so well.

It's so amazing!

[jamdown11]

wow, that david cook can saaang

[bookworm266]

Do the audience not realise that screaming makes it harder to hear them?

[scorpio888]

I love Archie, but he sometimes has trouble in duos because he holds back -- probably to be "polite", knowing Archie.

The result was that he wasn't as good here. Even Archie said on Larry King that he hoped he'd been "drowned out" by Cook.

[alohafaggots]

cook killed archeta in this one...just sniped him offscreen

[jotenor]

don't agree at all. I think the 2 of them sound awesome together, their voices compliment one another, one of my favorite Idol duet performances.

[MattGiraudFan4Life]

I looove David Cook and he really does this song INCREDIBLY WELL. i love that guy! ♥

[MegzWassup1215]

you know. it's weird how 2 people with Extremely different voices and styles can sound so great together.

[ravenstars2221]

David C is better in rock songs,but David A. is better in pop songs... I prefer David A....

[kotejebe909]

this song rly rox and they sing good:D

[101point5TMG]

Thats how it should be 3 JUDGES

[Jalynfein1]

What I like is how these two became great friends during the show and it shows. Awesome singing and I also agree that Cook was the overall better singer, but they are both great.

[laugherrama]

david cook is the one in the leather jacket and david archuletta is the one on the left in the olive shirt

[nickelbackgirl1]

I love this song so much! They did an awesome job! I think that David Cook sang the song better since he has the rock edge in his voice. David Archuleta was good also but not as well as David Cook. Chad Kroeger did an amazing job writing this song. I listen to it everyday on my iPod. It has such a message for people that everyone can relate to.

[numba1trackman]

great job together

but love david archuleta more!!!

from mix!!!

[xodbgirlxo]

aww yes i remember when i watched this last year anticippating the moment of David Cook's win. It was a very close competion .Both very good. and i love both of them :]

[Kittie162008]

so awesome.

cook for the win.

haha

[ruin2surfn]

whoa. I never saw this one. Now that there singing together yo ucan clearly tell who deserves this more. Go david cook!!!

[lovelesheart]

which is which? who is David A and who is David C

[uralwaysbemybaby]

david c the taller one and the sexiest,the sweetest guy ive ever seen...LOL! how time flies

[narutofan966]

This isnt really the besat song for Archie,

Cook can sing ANYTHING, though XD

[tommygecko]

david a was never a rock guy. He will never be able to sing this song well.

I wanna see David C butcher crush.

[norric222]

I'm from Australia so I've got no idea which person is which, but the guy on the left completely ruined this song! Your singing a Nickelback ROCK song not a bloody Jonas Brothers "boy band" song!

[flameracer14]

I like Archuleta more, but Cook sang this song better.

[HaHaProductions25]

david cook likes the same type of music i do

[guitardude1023]

archuletta butcherd that song

[festadavida]

Portuguese music is better than english music. The portuguese singstars are the bests.

[leonthekill]

is david cook dane cook's bro?

[lidel24]

that would be weird!

DC AND DC!

[blakfootx12]

No, David Cook's brothers are Andrew and Adam.

[goshiluvarchie]

oo i thought he only had one bro lol. which is the one with cancer?

[blakfootx12]

Adam is the one with cancer.

[cookfan4life]

DC is my Hero! also love lil david

[CookVoter]

This performance is one of my absolute favorites from Season 7. My hero won it all! David Cook Rocks!

[il3bood10]

he is really good but i think he choose a dificult voice because chad kroeger doesnt hhave the simplist voice

[cowboynicky826]

this is a terriable song 4 david a

but i do agree cook is much betta

[savethedance09]

Did anyone else realize that Cook sounds a lot like Chad Kroeger? :'D

[sambobsquar]

ya that was my first thought!!

[animeloverxoxox1]

David Cook does kind of sound like Chad Kroeger from Nickelback.

[leprechaunboy7]

david cook is better than david A

[beckalee87]

I was quite pleasantly surprised at how well their voices blended! I didn't expect that.

Gotta love the Davids.

[alexisaustin2]

Two complete opposits in everyway came together and gave one of the best proformances this season.

Both Davids deserved it.

for all the die hard archuletta fans, the music world is NEVER going to let David Archuletabe forgotten. The first time he sang imagine by John Lennon, record companies began lining up to sign him.

best of both worlds.

[xdaisy123]

aww..everyones saying reallly nice things about david.a! i feel mean cos i dont agree! DAVID COOK ROCKS AND HE DESERVED TO WIN OMG I LOVED HIM FROM THE START! tbo i think david.a ruins this! :/

[james28291]

ggood thing your opinion doesnt matter daisy! because ur not up there singing for a 60 million people!

[hannerbananer468]

This song was originally by Chad Kroeger from Nickelback. I love this duet and how their voices fit so well together. I love both the Davids but wish that David A. would have won. They are both great though.

[Blahkishma]

wow their duet sounds realy good together becuz davidC has the rock part and davidA can do the soter notes realy well congrandulations to both i'll be bying for booth cd's

[peepleperson14]

DAVID COOK PURE SEXINESS :P

[jesschick]

cook's got that rock voice but archuleta has a soft but really strong voice both good but quite different music styles. I luv archuleta i liked him from the very start when he was in like the top 50

[davidarchuleta96]

Who made this song?

P.S. Luv u David A!! <3<3<3

[MuddyCreekMeadows]

Chad Kroeger wrote this song and performed it with the frontman of Saliva, Josey Scott. In this case, Cook is performing Chad's parts and Archuleta has Scott's vocal parts. Of course, Chad and Josey both played the guitar in the song, but that's a different story.

[magsnlucy]

Hero:

By: Chad Kroeger

[AshumiLyoko]

they both do well together, but listening to this, it seemed as though Archuleta was singing..weaker. Like, not putting all of himself into it (or singing with a lot of variety in notes) this time around.

But I do respect them both (they're both amazing for their type of voices) but in this instance, I think cook did a pretty good job.

[bakey55]

AWESOME!! These guys sing so well together. They should do a CD together.

[balela90]

I love this. So nice to watch them both.

[xSpillax]

They should release this as a single together :)

[archiefan11]

Archie makes me and millions of fans weak in the knees!!!!

[teenCSIagent]

GO COOK! =D

[Blucola]

Cook does sing the high note at 1:30. But it doesn't matter, they both complement each other well.

[ddktbffs]

at 1:30- 1:32 those hand that were waving at cook were me and my friends hands!!! we were waving to him to say good-bye as in( you not gonna win)BUT NO! OUR HOPE AND DREAMS GOT CRUSHED! ARCHULETA DIDNT WIN!! HE SHOULD HAVE THO!! I LOVE DAVID ARCHULETA!

[whuhumuch]

i loved this performance it was amazingg!! ***

[sugarRUSH07]

Wow at 1:30, David Cook sounds incredible!

They both sound amazing though :)

[hotpinkpolish]

who sings the high part around 1:30?

[ASHLEYdcASHLEY]

the high part at 1:30 in this song is David Cook. yeah its hard to believe..but yeah he's that good!! lol

[sillygalxoxo]

coooookieee

[ddktbffs]

david archuleta (THE BETTER ONE!!!) sings the high part at 1:30

[gollygeecoffee]

love love love the second verse where David cook takes the high harmony! sooooooo good..uber talented..

[NekoNatsumi356]

i love how they both sing it together.

but i mean i think David A. should have won because he can sing 3 or more different genres of music. but that is just my opinion

[bluelilac2008]

I think Archie could sing this songe and make it sound like an angel chorus...

[ifree2rhyme]

this is really good 0_o

[AspenTheDragon]

This was really cool. They're voices create such a contrast, it sounds awesome with them two singing together.

[BelloDIT11]

david cant sing tat

[amburritosoftballpro]

david a is sooo good lol and cute he did a good job with the paralyzed voice thing or what ever u really dont hear that kind of voice david cook is preety good to and sings this song really really really really really good he would be good at rock or what ever!!!

[KALIMAN2K6]

David Archuleta made that amazing song into a boring ballad song that fits him *_*'

[fr1ez]

I STRONGLY disagree with the Archuleta comments. He is not suitable singing the rock genre.

[ruggazmad]

david cook's voice suits this type of music

[moonreigh]

their voices sound good together.....

their blending is so amazing.....

love it!!!!

[fuckallwimps]

none can beat the original, chad kroeger. hes the best.

[jrssantos14]

even though David Cook is good singing genre of rock they sang this song with nice blending.. both of them are really good performers! congrats to Cook! =D

[wgdpink]

the best duet i have EVER heard!!

[calsparky]

I wonder how many arenas would be full with a David A and David C joint concert. They are both so amazing. By the way, David C and David A fans, can you just forget this damn competiveness thing. They are both amazing singers and PEOPLE. Get a life.

[drpepperownsme]

I am SO THERE. Sign me up!! (to the joint concert!!!)

[idolfan1108]

What did David Archuleta's dad do? Why is he so mean?? That's what I would I would like to know?

[CandyMountainCrack]

i bet it was a hard decision bc david cook is really good at rock genres--and david watshisname is good at the whole r n b thing.

[samlovespuppys]

david cook won by 12 million votes!!!! plus his voice is a LOT better for this kind of music!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BaseballJunkie35]

Listen to how loud they cheer for Archuleta.

[RandyPutraW]

Listen to how loud they cheer for Cook.

[Lauren18M]

David Cook is hot!!!!!!!

[humancow2392]

i'd love to hear david cook cover this song solo

[samlovespuppys]

omg so would i!!!!!!

[xdaisy123]

mee 3!

[kwhyland]

I ADORE this song!!! Now as for Archie, he was the meat puppet of his father and I'm not sure that the record companies would put up with his father like that. Also about Archie , he can't harmonize at all because of his inexperience, but Cook TOTALLY can. And as for Jason Castro, who everyone said should win, well, he is OLDER THAN ARCHIE AND HAS LESS EXPIERIENCE. At least Archie can keep up the melody straight! Jason Castro stinks because he can't even keep up the melody and lyrics right.

[nbjunkie]

I Love this song. They did a really good job!!!

[cutiepututie43]

i personally wanted david archuletaa win:( not just because hes cute but because hes young and has an amazing voice but david cook was my 2nd choice im just glad 1 of them won

[tigrertwit]

Cook's voice suits this so so much, its just so heavenlyyyy on my ears!! love love love! beautiful man. x

[smileymonkey01]

i think they make a great team ♥

just sayin :-)

[5ivewestlifefan18]

yea they do.

[yuhuy23]

I think there's no loser here, they're both winner. Goodluck to both of them.

[xxxcsquar3dxxx]

its all good arch is gonna get a record deal plussssss!!!!! hES ONLY 17

[kwhyland]

THE RIGHT MAN WON. THE CUTE KID LOST. THAT'S HOW LIFE GOES WHEN YOUR IN A TALENT CONTEST. Emphisize TALENT.

[33bodinixx315]

thats creepy... simon cursed both carley smithson and david archuleta... i still think david archuleta shoulda won but thats alrighht.

[GottaLoveDavidA]

I love them! they're practically brothers! and they're both genuinely nice guys! love 'em both!

[FloatingGrin]

Wow their voices really compliment each other on this song.  I'd buy it if I could. It's pretty awesome. Great song choice DC! You are the American Idol!!!!!!

[BestArts]

The two of them sound much better together than I would have thought. This was the best performance ever by multiple Idol contestants. (Usually the "group" performances are really terrible.)

[aznpandax36]

i agree

[Xander2k5]

Cook was my favorite the whole competition! I am SO stoked that he won!! After all the negative feedback that he got yesterday (despite how absolutely awesome and better than Archie I thought he was), I was worried everyone would listen to Simon and vote against him. I'm so happy he won!!!

[aznpandax36]

simon managed to jinx archuleta...

[Xander2k5]

He always seems to manage to do that to people during this stage.

[jonesalvord]

yes!!! thought arch was gonna win just because of some dumb reason. thank goodness people used their brains, arch is not idol matterial!! Cook will do well!!

[allyn1822]

yess!!!!! DC WON...he deserves it!...he is such a well rounded artist...for archie..i think he still have a lot of things to learn...he can't just stick to ballad songs ..it makes him a boring artist...and his so young , he still have a lot of good things ahead of him...wish 'em luck !

[Janay82]

i am so depressed...but at least archie has more freedom and isn't drawn into a stupid contract like dc. in a way i am sad, in a way i am glad...but never will we see DA on stage singing the final song and being crowned winner...that just kills me...UGH!!!

[pumpactionkid14]

fuck that disney bitch kid

he became an instant millionare and has an amazing contract

do you even know who clive davis is you dumb bitch

"archie" or whatever wont sell half as many albums as cook will

[icereis2]

i cried tooo ... i am so happy for david cook!

[Hanisu]

ayy no es justo pues!!

obviamente esa va mas con D.C que con D.A

[emlale]

yes! i'm so happy David Cook won! i was crying along with him!

[Roseduckee13]

DAVID COOK WON!!!

[an4rew]

haha... 1:48 Archie gets owned!

[bluebleau]

THANK GOD for david cook...if not this song will become yet another mellow ballad song =X

[icecreamLOVEx]

aaaah =)
