he has a great voice indeed. but this song......he'd better not interpret it like that. I missed the essence and the longing the original singer portrayed in this song. Anyway, it's just a song.
... WTF?! The UK sucks. <_< We get acts such as Jedward and Frankie Cocozza (<-- Urgh) when the USA has acts like this?! *so jealous and getting jealous... -er* I'm moving to the US. ;)
He turned the classical stage song into a pop ballad and I enjoyed his singing of this song.

This one of my favorite song. He really transformed this song so beautifully on his on version, it just blow my mind how he can create such a thing - this boy is really gifted. what an amazing talent for a 17 years old kid.
I love the opera version of this song, but this is one of the songs that David sings that is stuck in my mind, I love it and listen to it every morning.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i appreciate his efforts, and he is a great singer, but I just don't care for remaking classic songs into something that sounds like it should be on MTV. Just my opinion...
David A. is one of most excellent singers in the American idol 7, I like him very much~~hoping he can win the contest~!!tonight I am hoping the good news!!~~~
ALW said David A needed to open his eye more-has he seen Whitney Houston sing,her eyes are closed-good company for David A to be in. I think he is perfect the way he is!!
WOW! There are so many angry people will do anything for their fav! Scary world! Your comments won't change anything except showing your personality: ANGRY & STUPID! I love all top 12 this year!
Well, since Andrew Lloyd being the composer and PRO... I will have to go by his criticism... The only three with talent this week were Brooke, Syesha, and Archuleta. Let the TRUTH SPEAK! Echoing ALW..."BRAVO!"
That does not change the notion that you are in need of psychological evaluation and treatment. It is available, free of charge, in most communities. Do yourself a favor and check it out.
now presenting your new american idol... a total package..pure,talented,personality,character,
wholesome,role model,voice,range,great smile,educated,clean cut-and well connected with the audience and viewers.moms,dads,teachers,girls ,etc love this lad....
To petestandards:How old r u? sounds like u have never been schooled with ur obnoxious mouth. If u don't even know what being mean is, you r a hopeless person who exists only to be a thorn. I feel sorry for u, kiddo. If u can't figure out ppl around u. somethng's wrong with ur head. It is not a rocketscience
Regarding to petestandards comment: "David A. stands he always looks like he has to take a really bad poop all the time......", may I ask why are you so mean and hurtful? It's just a TV show, I never wrote anything bad about other contestants!
WE will be THINKING OF YOU" until you win this competition. You have already won! You are genuine and truly have a beautiful musical soul and personality!!!!!
actually it is the truly schooled musicians who are keeping him in the competition. Have you heard his recorded version -- pretty standard. He completely improvised this... something not ONE OTHER PERFORMER was capable of doing obviously. What can I say more!
David A has a beautiful voice. The not as popular or unknown songs that he has sung have succeeded due to his pitch perfect voice and connecting with the audience with his inspirational personality. Both Davids will be very successful. However, I give the edge to David A due to his voice and turning every song he sings (popular or not) into gold.
David's rearrangement of a "diva song" was the night's most relevant performance. He was the only contestant smart enough to turn a Broadway tune into a contemporary song, albeit of the "adult" variety.
to correct SIMON -- forgettable song... there are much better thinkers and composers than A L W, but you actually made the words stand out not just typical ALW forgettable melody. Good job guy

" love this song! Such a rich voice, he seems like a gentle soul, must be cause he's a vegetarian huh! Nice one david! "
I would be most grateful if anyone would tell me the truth.
i love his version of this song. and i dont think his voice is typical cuz he can go very far wit his voice. archuleta and cook will def. be the last two. and idk who wud win; its too hard to choose i love them both =]
see i've said this b4! even know he is just young and when ever he talks he just gets a little nervous and shaky...but but but...when he sings his voice stands out for a minute bold and pure!!!
no carly is not amazing. she already put out a cd u can get for a nickel on amazon...shes not good...like david a. boring those two. make me want to marry my bed and sleep forever hahaha
he isnt a one trick pony....david cook is....ask him to sing a power ballad without arranging it into rock style....people with this voice can sing anything...while others have disadvantages...
He actually did not mess up as some fans say he did. He made it his own and changed the lyrics a bit and added here and there.. made it his own... WOW breath taking...Good job David!
Although I love David.... he def messed up. Think of all the things we've shared and seen - don't think about the things which might have been . . . *right after this lyric... he screwed up from there on out... he EVEN added a part the the song that doesn't exist....* Think of me, think of me waking, silent and resigned. Imagine me, trying too hard to put you from my mind
Wow-not only singing talent but to turn a song like this into this arrangement kind of arrangement is unbelieveable. I voted until they wouldn't allow it! How about all of you? Hope so-David A. the next American Idol-if not-he is definetly a star on the way to the top!!
he completely ruined it... there is no essence of the original that made it a great song...
