  • David layed it all out on this show. He gave all his heart and soul. America and American Idol just got it wrong. 'Nuf-said!

  • imagine - the long and winding road - angels - when u believe - smoky mountain memories are my favorite david a's performances

  • David's voice is beautiful. He is the whole package, amazing voice, wonderful personality, seriously handsome face, not to mention his smile that melts the snow. Those are a rare combination. I'm not sure that we will be able to find another AI contestant like him. AI 9 is still on??? when will it be done??? Yawn, yawn, yawn, ZZZzzzzz................

  • this and Long &Winding Road his 2 best performances

  • In the season 7 and other AI sites, if you change SORT BY Relevance to SORT BY View Count, you don't find David A.'s SMM video (924,000 views) but YT do put Cook's Dolly song (700,000 views). It's called omitting to make Cook appear better wt high views. Dah, not true. They can omit for their own purpose yet David Archuleta continues to be popular and famous. Rig still continues so Cook can appear the winner in season 7 sites for NEW viewers who can buy his cds. Archuleta is still popular.

  • There is higher view count video of David singing Dolly Parton's SMM (902,000 views) which they refuse to post in american idol listing. Only this and 9,700 viewed one stays in the listing. David sang more variety than what they list here. type his name "david archuleta" with quotes around his name to find variety, fun, funny videos of David Archuleta, view and enjoy.

  • i love david archuleta from the very first time i heard his voice!!!!!!! wonderful!!!

  • iAqree Widd Yhu(:

  • I have no idea why Simon's words carry so much weight, he's not God. It really pissed me off to hear him criticize David's performances when he was great on practically all of them. I think the producers told him to in order to sway votes away from David. AI was going to make money on DA even if he lost--and that's just what is happening! This is a good song but I'd rather have heard him sing "I Will Always Love You." Anything he sings is okay by me, though. Love him!

  • Another bad moment for Simon. I purposely looked this video up to hear David sing his version of this song. I loved it and wish he would record it on an album. It is awesome. Simon is such an idiot. He really is. Give me a million dollars and I'll come up with some of these shows and produce singers albums. I got more ability than he does. He's lucky. And he's made a fortune being an ass. He really has.

  • oh shut up simon is a good judge u asshole what u know go hell

  • i almost forgot how GREAT/AMAZING David Archuleta is. :D:D

  • i almost forgot how GREAT?AMAZING David Archuleta is. :D:D

  • this is stunningly beautiful. he sang it with so much emotion. it blew me away. HE always blew me away!

  • I wanted him 2 win he awesome

  • me 2

  • Greed is a ugly thing. When super greeed takes over they would easily willingly manipulate, slant, rig, to remove / hide/ show whoever is in the way of their Chosen One's need to forge ahead of everybody else.

    Greeed makes the product very UNappealing at the end..

    their goals and what they achieve is not going to be worthy or palatable because it was not achieved with clean hands.

    Let us enjoy good singing.

    Bring back popular videos of DA.

  • I came across David singing Dolly's SMOKEY MOUNTAIN MEMORIES (240,000 views) WAY BACK on PAGE 21 in the MAIN YouTube Site.

    They don't want to put 800,000 views in the MAIN Site, because that would make another Archuleta's popular video go to the beginning pages of the Site! Archuleta's place is in the Related Video Section

    They want people to know that David Archuleta is not popular by HIDING his popular high viewed videos. Do they think people are so stupid ?

  • You are not alone who noticed it - Yes they removed some of DA views not only in this one some of the his other video. I don't know what is their ulterior motived in doing that ; what the heck, no matter what they do - NOBODY CAN'T STOP THIS KIDS SOURING POPULARITY AND HE HAS THE VOICE.

  • David Archuleta deserve to have Dolly's SMOKEY MOUNTAIN MEMORIES (800,000 views) APPEAR in the Main YouTube AI Site.

    BRING BACK the High Viewed Popular videos of David Archuleta.

    David Cook is selling his CDs (Platinum)

    so BRING BACK DAVID ARCHULETA's popular videos.

    Letting NEW viewers and fans see those missing videos should not be a threat to Cook's image.

    Fans miss seeing Archuleta's popular videos.

  • Now, this video went to page 20, LESS VIEW COUNT makes the video to go to the back pages.

    NEW viewers are likely not view this, especially, when "THIS VIDEO IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE" message keep popping up in Archuleta's videos.

  • Well, they put this video to fall into page 18, way back SITE. If they are willing to put SMOKEY MOUNTAIN MEMORIES OF 815,000 views in the MAINSTREAM SITE, definitely deflate david cook's image. Sponsor money is very active to rig to gain votes.

    Thank goodness for Archuleta fans.

    They CAN NOT SQUASH the passion and loyalty FANS have FOR DAVID ARCHULETA.

    It is not Archie's fault that he is so popular.

  • The AI Handlers are letting this video with LOW view count to APPEAR now. But the video with (800,000+ view) has DISAPPEARED. Votes were rigged and rigging continues ON.

    Is David Archuleta too popular ? Yes.

    They REMOVED Archuleta's 3 million views and 2 million views so Cook's Billie Jean can GAIN HIGH counts. They put Cook's all over other people's sites. Rigging is still ON to increase votes.

    The SITES are rigged to inflate Cook's needed image and to sell his CD.

  • i wanted him 2 win

  • me 2

  • he is amazing and so sweet like no other!!<3

  • his voice is sweet and pure.

  • blingy damon who was talking to you? you low life scum bucket..when david's single hits number one we'll see who has the last laugh. get a life creep and pick on someone your own age

  • don't stoop down to my disrespectful generation's levels you hypocrite

  • I am a 67 Year old grandmother and I definitely did not fall in love with a young good looking kid..but I have fallen in love with this amazing talented singing that comes from little david I have compared him to other great singers and you just watch out world davida is going to set the music work on fire. he is the complete package. what a sweet and charming person he is and so refreshing after seeing today's disrespectful generation. well, I guess I do love him after all

  • To: BlingyDamon3, dude, mind your language, seriously just chill. Im not a fan of Archie too but seriously dude, Chill. He did a pretty good job but agreed on some points that he never showed ranges outside balladry. Overall decent performance though

  • I'm a grown woman. I'm married with kids, and I have not fallen for a young, good looking singer. As Dolly says, "he has the voice to become a great, great singer." Some of are just old enough to think for ourselves.

  • he sings amazing!!!!!

  • fine voice indeed

  • OK - so I've been trying to vote since about 11:00 p.m. and have only gotten thru nine times. I called each number three times! : ) I hope he wins! He's the REAL DEAL!!

  • i think that he sings with feeling and his voice comes from his heart and he deserves to win<3

Please buy a GOPHONE for unlimited vote texing. Target is selling them for $14.99 This seasons winner will be determined by text votes. NO BUSY SIGNALS EVERY VOTE WILL BE COUNTED! Please do not think he is safe right now Cook is favoured to win!

    INTERNATIONAL FANS you can vote! Message me if you'd like to know how.

  • I encourage you all to google the interview with David's vocal instructor ( Dean Kaelin)and listen to all the crap going on behind the scenes!

    The producers are trying to rig this year!!!

    I watched the interview on FOX Utah. So unfair!

    Why do these adults do that nasty things to this hardworking innocent boy!??

  • I really love DA's version of this song! It reminds me my home and my family too!

  • just beautiful......beautiful song, beautiful lyrics~

  • I thought this was his best with Stand By Me as a strong second place. This kid has a very special tone to his voice.

  • Well said.

  • WHO CARES IF HE'S GAY olivertwist306! ?

    DOES IT REALLY MATTER!? he has an amazing voice, and nothing can change that.

  • u? lol jk jk

  • yes it is going to be a shocker if he goes home WHICH WILL NOT HAPPEN , HOW CAN THAT HAPPEN!? I CANT IMAGINE IT. syesha will go home next week and i think david cook even if he wins NOW WAY IM GOING TO LISTEN TO HIM! HES SO BORING. TOO ORIGINAL THERES ALREADY A CHRIS DAUGHTRY WE DONT NEED ANOTHER ONE OF HIM. i would listen to david archuleta all day

  • HEADS UP ARCHIE FANS:

  • I think he has the voice to become a great singer to Dolly. Love this boy. He should so win AI.

  • So long...

    Farewell...

    Bye bye bye....

    DAVID ARCHULETA!

    your time is up soon!!!!!! =)

  • Who cares if he wins? He'll still get a recording deal no matter what, he's got contracts lined up after AI ends and he's probably better off NOT winning because then he'll have a choice of contracts and more creative control over what's on the CD and not be stuck doing whatever the AI winner has to do. David has the necessary exposure he needs to get his singing career started, at this point it doesn't matter if he wins AI or not.

  • oh my god!! you gotta be kidding me

    the guy is gonna go far weither he wins or not!!

  • Allicat, I couldn't disagree with you more. First of all, if you like David Cook so much then you should be commenting HIS videos of "how good he is." David Archuleta is WAY better. Cook's voice is HIGHLY too LOW. OH-AND-we'll find out WHO can change their genre considering it's rock and roll next week. It'll be HILARIOUS if David Cook screws up on his own type of music and David Archuleta nails it. DAVID ARCHULETA ROCKS! NOT COOK!

  • DA has a great voice, but ballads aren't the only type of genre one singer can sing. He's gotta have some fun and sing some upbeat songs like tuesday with neil diamond. More of that and he will be great. Personally its David Cook all the way!

  • I agree with mostly what your saying, allicat. David A needs to improve on his uptempo songs, cause it seems that all he could do amazingly are ballad. "Shop Around" is the only upbeat performance of him that I thought was awesome.

  • His voice is so gifted.

  • He's gorgeous. Damn, I wish I were just half as beautiful.

  • dun you think he looks a bit like zac efron?

  • Not really. He WAAY cuter

  • yea.. agree!!! =)

  • ya=]

  • His voice is so beautiful!

  • haha

  • vote for david A. pls pls pls

  • SERIOUSLY: Every archuleta fan needs to vote as many times as they can these next 4 weeks if you want david to win, because even though we think he is going to win doesnt mean he will unless we vote non-stop seriously david cook is in the lead again with votes and that is sooo wrong because david a deserves to win the whole thing we need to get more people to vote for him friends family and everyone we can think of and i mean that or he will not make it all the way

  • Is he a Vegetarian??

  • him and David C. in the finale.

    Both are great!

  • yessss...can't wait to see both davids in the finale!!!

    both very talented & have solid fans!

    i love them (& michael johns) since day one.

  • scotty the man.... fuck u

  • his voice is so so so sexy....when he starts singing i am like hummmmmmmmmmm......its like so so so relaxing.........

  • /watch?v=FJFwcaFs-Bs

  • if you don't like him then WHY ARE YOU WATCHING THIS?

  • exactly....go n watch david cook's videos...no one forced u to watch! ......btw he is super cute!!!

  • Whoaaaaa Whoaaaaa David Archuleta my man!!! I love this dude!!!! He's making it far espcecially if he doesn't win!!!!!!!!!!lol

  • He has a wonderful voice and his personality is the best so humble and innocent. he's just so adorable and the sweetest guy ever!!!!

  • david rocks!!!! hes gona win and everyone no's it hes cute and the voice is omg!!!!! amazing

  • hey shut up your just mad becuz you cant be like him or sing like him he seems so sweet and Just dont say anything expectally when you dont even know him!!!

  • like what's ur problem?! i said that he's really good. so fuck off and get a life!

  • Lol poshdoll, I feel the same way as u, no doubt he's awesome, but I don't like him too

  • More like a young prodigy among a bunch of college students.

  • David A. FTW!!!!!!

  • david archuleta rocks!!!he did so good.

  • American Idol Top 7 - David Archuleta Vote Vote Vote For our Next AMerican Idol #1

  • My prediction is that he will come second to David Cook ( even though I personally like Archie better) and that his first 3 albums will go platinum, but David Cook will spend a longer amount of time in the music business. I love ya Archie, dont let some haters get cha down, they are just jealous of how utterly perfect you are.......!

  • David a will be declared a sure winner in AI because he has captured the hearts of people from all walks of life, i.e. young & old!

  • I like David Archuleta. He got voice box surgery when he was younger. And whatever they did to his voice box made his singing incredible!!! He rocks for 17 years old. KEEP ON ROCKIN DAVID!!!

  • At 17......The Kids Got da X-factor......He Sounds So Mature.....Enen If He Doesnt Win....But Releases Solos....I'm Gonna Be An Archuleta Fan....!!!!!

  • ok...

    carly is like trying to copy amy winehouse with the self tatoo on her arm AND the beehive AND amy's trademark streeked eye liner....maby we need someone that has just a tad bit of self individualism

  • next american idol DAVID ARCHULETA!!!!I LOVED

  • omg

  • Perhaps the best vioce I have heard from a male vocalist this young age. This kid is destin for superstardom. God Bless you David A. AKA Archie you are an amazing young man.

  • David Archuleta is my pick for American Idol.  The world needs the kind of vibes that David A. sends out. Let's get back to a time when being American meant caring about other people, helping other people and being the GOOD GUY!

  • he must win the whole thing

  • This particular performance of David's gives me goose bumps;an amazing performance from the natural winner of American Idol.

  • it doesnt matter if he puts more emotion into his songs if he isnt up to par. Jason Castro will win because he much more appealing to the crowd, funnier, but most of all, because he is a better singer. Plus he has the whole guitar thing going on. Im not saying this guy sux, but i doubt very much that he will win.

  • How many 17 year old's do you know of, who could go through all that effort,and,ultimately, come through with such a spellbinding performance? (In front of millions of people)

    Also,Ive got a sneaking suspicion that he has got,generally,an amazing feel for musical instruments!

  • you are lucky if you are his girl friend..!!

    he is so cute and...blah..blah..blah..!!

  • go david! woot

  • I like his singing alot but i really wish he would start singing in a differant key!

  • do you know anything about music???

  • uh yes i do i was the pres of the highschool chior and started college on a singing scholarship.

    He sings the same key when he hits his high notes, or a step up or below.

    Its an amazing voice but he needs to start showing variation in his talent

  • i know exactly what you mean. I think if this guy made an album his songs would get boring and old really quick. He always sings this like slow songs and i dont rlly see a lot of variety. Because of your impressive resume, i was just wandering what you think about jason castro's singing?

  • im sorry i know that you like jason castro but i dont. He dosent have any vibrato, and he (at least to me) cant sing above an average person.

    But he is cute, and has a toned body so he will go far.

    He was creative his last time around with over the rainbow, so maby he will be around for a few more rounds. But i dont see him winning the competition.

    I think it will be between David A and the rocker guy.

  • u did not mention that on your fist comment, but yes thats true. thats his style and thats one of the ways pop singers r recognized.

  • No he doesn't. People like the way he sings now, I see no reason he needs to "show variation." Theres nothing more annoying than people making technical quips about other singers.

  • I totally agree with you!!!!

  • i think david A will win because he is so appealing to the crown in a personal innocent manner.....and his age gives him a huge advantage.

    I never would have dreamed that the aussy would have been eliminated so very soon!! He had an amazing blues voice

  • He is so Hot..I want him to win...so cute.

  • OK, Jason and David are going to be finalists but i think David will win... Jason's still an AWESOME singer!!! David just puts more emotion into his songs

  • Hace mucho no escuchaba una vos tan bella... Es mi favorito en american idol 7.. aunque tengo que aceptar que la mayoria canta de maravillas!!!

  • jesus I can't stand this little turd!!!

  • I LOVE YOU DAVID!!!

  • wow... another great performance by david.a!!! yay!!!

  • Dude he's just not, seriously, this young guy has a much better voice

  • WHAT?! jason is a good singer but david has a WAY MORE stronger voice

  • jammot...you are a tool! your irreverent mind is a screw loose...i was saying it matters not that he is gay, str8 , or whatever.

  • he was AMAZING! i can't stop listening to the song...

    I don't care if everyone says he's gay or a mormon... i mean who cares? he's an amazing singer... i almost cry everytime he sings... many people too! he has a powerful voice...he's amazing

  • Man I just wish he'd lose the old age suit jackets!

  • wat a G.

  • btw, I see you have the correct name "crazyjoe" if you think David Cook and Michael will beat him.

  • why does everyone think hes gay? does he look or act gay at all? nooooooo

    hes amazinggggg :]

  • Okay why aren't guys allowed to be happy all the time without being considered gay? Same thing with girls, if girls aren't seen as being happy, they're considered to be bitches.

    C'mon dude stop going with the norm.

  • I LOOOve that note at the end where he says "strong"...it's like *chills* =]<3

  • hes soooooooo ADORABLE!!!!!!! he such a dreamy voice and that smile and thos pretty eyes make my heart melt

  • I'm going to throw in about 50 extra votes now for David just because of our friend billybob.. who's with me?!

  • please throw extra 50 for me since I can not vote. I wish I could and other countries would

    if they are able to. I'll pray for him thou.

    wish his dream come true.

  • if you do not have anything good to say SHUT UP AND GET OFF. JEEZ listen to something you like.

  • This song would go number#1 if American Idol released it as a single by itself.

  • Definition of gay: Merry, happy, festive, gleeful, lively, joyful exuberance! Thanks to all who's thinking that about David.

  • I think ur gay yourself AzureLightstream. David Archuleta rocks!!! wooooooooooooo

  • gay isn't how u act.

    gay is who u sleep with

  • ^ this right here <----- Listen to this.

  • ABSOLUTULY!!!!!!!!!! That shows anybody.

    Good Thinking,AzureLightstream!!!

  • I'm not even American and I want this kid to win. He's humble, down-to-earth, and he has an awesome voice. That song, like many of his others, was brilliant. The only other person I'd root for if David goes would be Kristy or Brooke.

  • wads wif the gay thingy,ruubish,!

  • wads wif the gay thingy,ruubish,!

  • He is the winner, the next american idol. no matter how many thinks some stupid person make for destroy him. DAvid ARchuleta is going to win so far this competition he is more good performe, good looking and good person.

  • this boy is wonder, he has incredible voices

    sounds like pop, country, gospel and soul I bet he can hip hop too. his melodiies produces a very soothing sound that touches everyones. if this boy got eliminated at american idol there's something wrong there.

  • Don't even address the haters, people. They obviously have nothing in life that makes them happy so they try to destroy others' happiness. I just feel sorry for them.

  • Die Bühne ist ja im Vergleich zu DSDS ziemlich klein... aber bei DSDS is die ja schon richtig riesig.

  • what a fuck if the guy is gay no mather the boy is a great performer and his voices is amazing remarcable and memorable

  • You oughta go north somebody told us 'Cause the air is filled with gold dust And fortune falls like snow flakes in your hands Now I don't recall you said it But we'd lived so long on credit And so we headed out to find our promised land Oh and these northern nights are dreary And my southern eyes are teary As I wonder how the old folks are back home But I'll keep leanin' on my Jesus he'll love and guide
