""I'm a Believer" is a song composed by Neil Diamond and recorded by the band The Monkees in 1966 " the monkys wrote more of their own material LATER then fail to have success with it
He's just mailing this in and having fun with it for a local morning TV show in his old age. It's for curiosity's sake since most people haven't heard him do it even though he wrote it. It's not intended to be "The Ultimate Version of I'm a Believer". The Monkees and Smash Mouth both did much better versions. Neil would tell you that. He's got nothing to worry about and doesn't need defenders. He's a living legend.
ugh I knew she would! she's gona completely mess it up, do it all slow on the piano ARGH!! Syesha would do it amazing and make it fun. in fact anyone BUT Brooke would do this well
she might just suprise you and keep th beat to the song. Either way, she will do well. A mess up laast week should not affect what people think of her this week.
this is the only upbeat song that i've seen the Archies want David to sing. i really hope he does! i miss when he did shop around back in the day. he needs to put all those ppl who call him a "one trick pony" to rest! all us archies know he can sing anything!! GO DAVID ARCHULETA!
I agree this should definitely be David A's song. We already know he can sing ballads well, but I'd like to hear him do something a little more upbeat this time. This would be a great song for him.
I TOTALLY agree that Archie should sing this song. After youtubibg the other Neil Diamond songs - they are all beautiful but intense. This is very upbeat and he should lighten up every once in a while.
I love his music, but he is a serious cheeseball.

If people didn't actually buy his records, he'd still make bank as a writer - he also wrote "Red, Red Wine".
