I have never felt this connected to a singer. But since I knew him from AI7, I know about him bit by bit, how he tried to follow his dream, n he went for it. He showed to people that nothing is impossible. He's passionate, sweet and a nice person inside out. I dont see him as a celebrity who typically is a cocky high level person, he's so down to earth and still acts like a normal person. All he knows he wants to sing coz he loves it.
@ZenoRyu I read his book and I wanna thank him for releasing it. The whole of his life I started to know bit by bit. This no longer about his songs alone, more than that, he has become part of his fans' lives. He inspires people and he instil emotion into his songs coz he wants people to feel the feeling that he has.
I'm touchd by this song. Thats why I let myself to write these whole sentences just to let him know that Im so proud of him. Whthr u read this or not archie, I will alwys support u
@marborok100 you are David's fan too I guest, I replied to the comment post by mendieta88 It's just my opinion cause if David start singing like Adam I'd freak out. David and his "Davidness" really touch me. I'm sorry if I mislead you with that comment. So correction...David / Adam (people) just need to be themselves not anyone or anything else. Check out David's new video "somthing bout love" It's sooo good.
Woooooooow. Nice editing. I LOVE YOU DAVID. He's just the kind you'll know won't ever be a screwed up Hollywood artiste. He'll just be David, just David, and amazing as he is :D
Did u know? B4 u go to sleep at night there is 1 guy thinking of u. They want you they want to kiss u, They want to be with u they are always thinking about u b4 they go to sleep at night they are longing to be with u. copy and paste this on 10 other videos or else he will forget u forever.. IT REALLY WORKS MY CUZ DID IT!!!
Wow!! No one can sing this song like David ---as most everthing that David sings--he puts his whole soul into whatever he sings--he has been humble enough to know and understand his feeligs and how to allow his audience to feel what he does.
I'm happy his voice isn't Adam's, and even happier that David is (positively) David who is nothing like Adam. David doesn't need to be anyone or anything else but himself. Isn't that great !!!!!
i don't remember who sang this at the american idol tour (i think it was jason), but he said "this song has alot of covers, and i'm going to sing the slower version. a cover...of another cover.." yah jason castro said it. it was really funny
David Archuleta is insanely talented. I'll be among the millions of fans going to Target or Walmart at midnight to buy his album (comes out on November 4th). This is just another reason why he is OUR Idol. The best Runner-Up of American Idol EVER.
thanks slproductions for helping with everything you have done for our angel we really appreciate the way you have enhanced this video and the picture you used; it is one of the best shots for his cd cover. keep up the good work. we will like to use your site to rack up the total views for david at the moment with over 60,000 already viewed.
blisskasden, you are so articulate in your comments. I love it that there are so many of us who love David and have much life experience. We have seen fads come and go and know great music when we hear it. Hopefully David will prove to be a great role model for all age groups. Yes, David's talent is undeniable, but so is his decency, his humility, and his commitment to his values. Maybe David's example will prove that you can have great success and still maintain a moral compass.
I have to agree with blisskasden. I've been saying this for a long time that David will be a MEGA Star. His star power will go far beyond the USA and he is so well loved by so many across the USA and the world now. It comes to mind when I see Timbaland/One Republic's Apologize. Just one version with 61,425,500 hits.(and I'm sure it's not all women) And David will indeed put out some great music of his own. He is winning people over every day with his true talent, male and female.
Myfav. The Beatles started out as a pop group without any real philosophy or agenda. Their songs were great and they started a new movement in music. After they got the world's attention, their music grew and it started reflecting their enlightened view of life and the world. The rest is, of course, history. David is way ahead of the Beatles already. We know what he's about and he is loved as much for who he is as for his music. The future of music is now, led by a 17 year angel named David
I am a 59 year old David fanatic. I was a big Beatles fan, screaming along with the best of them, but David comes along and I just can't get enough of David's singing. There is just something about him that has turned on that old feeling again and I love it. I am anxiously awaiting August 5 when I see and hear him in person. I just can not wait. Keep it up David. You are well on your way to Stardom.
lightacandle5, Yes I have listened to "Don't Tell Me" many, many times. I listen to his early version of SSB,(the best I've ever heard), God Bless America, A Moment Like This(prefer it over Kelly's),and "Imagine" done at 13 every single day. And if it's been posted on youtube, I've heard it. Can't get enough of David's music. I have every song available for download on CD's and listed to them everyday. It makes my long commute to work seem like the shortest drive ever.
I'm the oldest person here (55+) and have been a pop music fanatic my entire life.Believe me when I say that David is the best male singer I have ever heard, and he elicits the most emotional response from an audience ever. I am talking Elvis, Sam Cooke, Sinatra, Paul Anka, Bobby Darin, Elton John and yes,even the Beatles.I could go on but you get the point. Add to that his incredible good looks and genuine, flawless, personna, and we have the makings of the biggest star ever. I sure hope so.
blisskasden, always enjoy reading your eloquent posts. I hope you are right about David becoming a superstar. If he is going to become a big star, however, he is going to have to win over more male fans. This could be a problem. He is a gentle, soft-spoken, sensitive kid which may be a turn-off for a lot of macho males. Males also may be reluctant to embrace someone who is a teen heart-throb. Males might not think it's cool to like David. Hopefully, David's enormous talent will win them over.
Wow, I've never heard anyone mention David Archuleta and Sam Cooke together before. When I first heard David and his runs and how he improvises I thought of Sam Cooke and the feel he had for the music. They are certainly different but yet there is also something reminiscent of Sam Cooke's vocalizations in David's. I also think this kid is probably the most amazing singer I have heard in a lot of years of listening to music. He lays it all out there and I feel what he feels. Love him. Thanks!
Reasonable 15, good to hear from you. In the month since I wrote that post,David's popularity has skyrocketed and his first single is a mega hit. Sam Cooke was a singer and stylist of the first order, but had years of being in a group before going out on his own. David has had none of those advantages, and made his mark in the pressure cooker called American Idol. The tour is helping him hone his performance skills, and it shows already. Music history is being written by David. It's great to see
I so agree. I think that his soul is just filled with music. I don't know how he does what he does with so little exposure to the whole universe of music that is out there. He has only been to three concerts he said in an interview! He said he loves when he connects to someone who is singing and that is what he wants to do, connect with the people who listen to him. He so feels what he is singing and I have never heard anyone so young be able to do that plus his voice is absolutely incredible
blisskasden, it's interesting that you mentioned Sam Cooke in comparison to David. I was just listening to Sam Cooke the other day and I was struck by how much David's style reminded me of his style, with the way they both perform the improvisational runs when they sing. David will absolutely make his mark on music history, and is well on his way to becoming a great, great artist.
Lightacandle, Thanks for your post. Sam Cooke, like David, was way ahead of his time, and could sing any style of music.
The truly great ones can do that. That's why they last and their music always seems current. David is still in the preliminary stages of his career. He needs to shed the American Idol ID and be himself. His CD will do that for him. I expect it will showcase his enormous talent and unequalled depth and substance.
not a teen here either, but totally under his "spell". And I consider myself a very rational, grounded person, but I am a goner for this kid. I, in all my years have never and I mean never heard anyone sing and captivate an audience like him. He is a master at vocals and he's been like this since a young age. I listen to his "Dream Sky High" and just keep saying out loud to myself, "DO you people not hear that?"!!!The control and range in his voice is beyond words.
myfav4evr, have you ever heard "Don't Tell Me"? It's a song that David co-wrote and sang when he was 12!!!!! It is a great anthem for youthful independence. Of course,David sang it perfectly! David has me under his spell as well. I don't know how people can say he's boring or can sing only one kind of song. He is so gifted in every genre that I have heard him sing. I guess people don't like to be confused with the facts or can't believe that one so young can sing so well!!!
slproductions great job on this. I'm sure all the Archie's and Angels will appreciate it, and that photo you used of David is probably one of the better ones out there, thanks again.
What a great song and he did an amazing job. David can deliver his song beautifully and clearly as if he is painting the words to a song - Not every singer has that kind of gift. Thats what make him so unique as an ARTIST.
I just watched Jason Castro's version of "Crazy" (actually I saw him perform it in Sacramento), and it doesn't even sound like the same song. I love Jason, and I realize he has a completely different style than David's, but honestly, David is in a completely different league than Jason. Just listen to David's nuanced phrasing, the soulful vibe he brings to the song, the rich, textured quality of his voice. Jason does a good cover, but David brings this song to life! Amazing,amazing performance!
Excellent enhancement. He sounded great without, but with the enhancement, it even sounds better. No wonder why he sailed through Hollywood week. Thanks so much!!
What can I say??? amazing? Very good? It is so different from others, It's touch my heart. I don't know what to say, but every single day I feel thirsty to listen to David's voice. will I be a forever David's fan? I never have a person that I'm crazy like this before.(I'm not teen, I'm 38yo)
my1idol, I am no teen either. I am 51 years old, or as my son so delicately pointed out, exactly 3 times the age of David. But I don't care! This sweet, humble, unbelievably gifted young man so totally has me under his spell! I can't get enough of his voice. I am running out of words to describe how his music makes me feel! Suffice it to say, David's performances leave me awestruck!!! No one comes close to his talent and ability to touch the soul!!!
lightacandle5, It's good to know you feel the same and I know lot of not teen people out there love him too. I hope David will get enought rest on this tour. I hope someone can take a good care of him so He can continue concentrate on singging. I love him.
my1idol, thank you for your comment. I agree with you when you say that I hope David will get enough rest on this tour. I saw an interview with him done on July 15, and he seemed pretty tired and a little stressed out. I'm sure all of the idols are run pretty ragged with all of the performning, the meet and greets, and all of the press obligations.I feel very maternal toward David and can't help feeling he is more vulnerable to the effects of touring. Take care of yourself David! We love you!!
Amazingly phenomenal, mad mad mad vocal skills!!!!!! There is no one better!!!!! And David performed this with very little rehearsal. It's as if the music is an actual part of his being, his soul, his essence. David performs EVERY song with the level of passion and artistry. This was a beautiful ehancement of an already spectacular work of vocal art! Thank you for posting this! Our David is on his way!!! I can't wait to hear what other marvelous works he has in store for us!!!!
Gary,thanks.You're right about David's "problem " with male fans,especially young guys who are not as grounded and evolved as David. Without intending to do so,David has issued a challenge to men of all ages to rethink the way they act and the way they relate to people,especially women. David is a livig example of a new,better way to interact with others, and that always causes some backlash. Change always comes with resistance. David is a great new role model for all people. Give it some time.
Great comments. Re: teen males - I have one, use to grunt at me before disappearing into his room. I took him to Idol live concert - and the kid held my hand during WYSYLM. Now greets me with Hi Mom, says I love you, does chores without a fuss, etc. When I asked him what's up he said "I've been Archiefied" just don't tell his friends. I guess this shows the two sides of the coin with the young male factor.
I hope his record label appreciates the wide fan base he has.
ArchieFan Doc, that's great to hear. Your son is special too. He is open to change and sees how good it feels to emulate David's warmth and sincerity. This is how society changes, one person at a time. Your instincts to bring him to the concert were right on target David is not theoretical, he's real. Bringing your son to be "Archiefied" was just what the doctor ordered. Now your son is an example for other people to follow.
OMG!i really love his songs!and of course, i really love him♥..he always inspire me:)

blisskasden, always enjoy reading your eloquent posts. I hope you are right about David becoming a superstar. If he is going to become a big star, however, he is going to have to win over more male fans. This could be a problem. He is a gentle, soft-spoken, sensitive kid which may be a turn-off for a lot of macho males. Males also may be reluctant to embrace someone who is a teen heart-throb. Males might not think it's cool to like David. Hopefully, David's enormous talent will win them over.

That didn't hurt Clay or Jonas Bros. David's female fanbase is enough to carry him

Wow, I've never heard anyone mention David Archuleta and Sam Cooke together before. When I first heard David and his runs and how he improvises I thought of Sam Cooke and the feel he had for the music. They are certainly different but yet there is also something reminiscent of Sam Cooke's vocalizations in David's. I also think this kid is probably the most amazing singer I have heard in a lot of years of listening to music. He lays it all out there and I feel what he feels. Love him. Thanks!

Reasonable 15, good to hear from you. In the month since I wrote that post,David's popularity has skyrocketed and his first single is a mega hit. Sam Cooke was a singer and stylist of the first order, but had years of being in a group before going out on his own. David has had none of those advantages, and made his mark in the pressure cooker called American Idol. The tour is helping him hone his performance skills, and it shows already. Music history is being written by David. It's great to see
blisskasden 3 years ago 2
I so agree. I think that his soul is just filled with music. I don't know how he does what he does with so little exposure to the whole universe of music that is out there. He has only been to three concerts he said in an interview! He said he loves when he connects to someone who is singing and that is what he wants to do, connect with the people who listen to him. He so feels what he is singing and I have never heard anyone so young be able to do that plus his voice is absolutely incredible

blisskasden, it's interesting that you mentioned Sam Cooke in comparison to David. I was just listening to Sam Cooke the other day and I was struck by how much David's style reminded me of his style, with the way they both perform the improvisational runs when they sing. David will absolutely make his mark on music history, and is well on his way to becoming a great, great artist.

Lightacandle, Thanks for your post. Sam Cooke, like David, was way ahead of his time, and could sing any style of music.
The truly great ones can do that. That's why they last and their music always seems current. David is still in the preliminary stages of his career. He needs to shed the American Idol ID and be himself. His CD will do that for him. I expect it will showcase his enormous talent and unequalled depth and substance.

not a teen here either, but totally under his "spell". And I consider myself a very rational, grounded person, but I am a goner for this kid. I, in all my years have never and I mean never heard anyone sing and captivate an audience like him. He is a master at vocals and he's been like this since a young age. I listen to his "Dream Sky High" and just keep saying out loud to myself, "DO you people not hear that?"!!!The control and range in his voice is beyond words.

myfav4evr, have you ever heard "Don't Tell Me"? It's a song that David co-wrote and sang when he was 12!!!!! It is a great anthem for youthful independence. Of course,David sang it perfectly! David has me under his spell as well. I don't know how people can say he's boring or can sing only one kind of song. He is so gifted in every genre that I have heard him sing. I guess people don't like to be confused with the facts or can't believe that one so young can sing so well!!!

slproductions great job on this. I'm sure all the Archie's and Angels will appreciate it, and that photo you used of David is probably one of the better ones out there, thanks again.

What a great song and he did an amazing job. David can deliver his song beautifully and clearly as if he is painting the words to a song - Not every singer has that kind of gift. Thats what make him so unique as an ARTIST.

I just watched Jason Castro's version of "Crazy" (actually I saw him perform it in Sacramento), and it doesn't even sound like the same song. I love Jason, and I realize he has a completely different style than David's, but honestly, David is in a completely different league than Jason. Just listen to David's nuanced phrasing, the soulful vibe he brings to the song, the rich, textured quality of his voice. Jason does a good cover, but David brings this song to life! Amazing,amazing performance!

Excellent enhancement. He sounded great without, but with the enhancement, it even sounds better. No wonder why he sailed through Hollywood week. Thanks so much!!

What can I say??? amazing? Very good? It is so different from others, It's touch my heart. I don't know what to say, but every single day I feel thirsty to listen to David's voice. will I be a forever David's fan? I never have a person that I'm crazy like this before.(I'm not teen, I'm 38yo)
my1idol 3 years ago 3
my1idol, I am no teen either. I am 51 years old, or as my son so delicately pointed out, exactly 3 times the age of David. But I don't care! This sweet, humble, unbelievably gifted young man so totally has me under his spell! I can't get enough of his voice. I am running out of words to describe how his music makes me feel! Suffice it to say, David's performances leave me awestruck!!! No one comes close to his talent and ability to touch the soul!!!
lightacandle5 3 years ago 3
lightacandle5, It's good to know you feel the same and I know lot of not teen people out there love him too. I hope David will get enought rest on this tour. I hope someone can take a good care of him so He can continue concentrate on singging. I love him.
my1idol 3 years ago 2
my1idol, thank you for your comment. I agree with you when you say that I hope David will get enough rest on this tour. I saw an interview with him done on July 15, and he seemed pretty tired and a little stressed out. I'm sure all of the idols are run pretty ragged with all of the performning, the meet and greets, and all of the press obligations.I feel very maternal toward David and can't help feeling he is more vulnerable to the effects of touring. Take care of yourself David! We love you!!

Amazingly phenomenal, mad mad mad vocal skills!!!!!! There is no one better!!!!! And David performed this with very little rehearsal. It's as if the music is an actual part of his being, his soul, his essence. David performs EVERY song with the level of passion and artistry. This was a beautiful ehancement of an already spectacular work of vocal art! Thank you for posting this! Our David is on his way!!! I can't wait to hear what other marvelous works he has in store for us!!!!

Gary,thanks.You're right about David's "problem " with male fans,especially young guys who are not as grounded and evolved as David. Without intending to do so,David has issued a challenge to men of all ages to rethink the way they act and the way they relate to people,especially women. David is a livig example of a new,better way to interact with others, and that always causes some backlash. Change always comes with resistance. David is a great new role model for all people. Give it some time.

Great comments. Re: teen males - I have one, use to grunt at me before disappearing into his room. I took him to Idol live concert - and the kid held my hand during WYSYLM. Now greets me with Hi Mom, says I love you, does chores without a fuss, etc. When I asked him what's up he said "I've been Archiefied" just don't tell his friends. I guess this shows the two sides of the coin with the young male factor.
I hope his record label appreciates the wide fan base he has.

ArchieFan Doc, that's great to hear. Your son is special too. He is open to change and sees how good it feels to emulate David's warmth and sincerity. This is how society changes, one person at a time. Your instincts to bring him to the concert were right on target David is not theoretical, he's real. Bringing your son to be "Archiefied" was just what the doctor ordered. Now your son is an example for other people to follow.
