[stigmatic79]

He hasn't aged one bit from this performance....

[nnl18]

Ryan called him Archie aww. <3

[LipyyHC]

Elee renovou a Musica'

[HeyJicay]

His awkwardness is quite lovely :)

[triiish09]

David A . I love you

[iadorearchie]

"in a sea of people, there was only you"... i say the same thing to you David James Archuleta! Archie is so incredibly awesome. People screamed of overwhelming admiration and adoration beyond words could possibly express.

[MultiTeejae]

i wish i wuz there touching HIS hand!!!!!!! i love uuuu david!!!!!!!

[caser1210]

David is an ultimate professional. I learned later that David was sick that day but he gave his best as always.

I loved seeing his happy face performing on ai show. This video has good visual. It would have been extra nice if the volume was higher so we can hear David more clearly. Thanks for the vid, though.

[Enchanted1203]

@caser1210 I heard Cook's sister was sick like cancer or something & he needed the money, so he won.

[stigmatic79]

@Enchanted1203 not hes sister hes brother had brain cancer lol and that is not the reason he won. david cook was more mature to me that is the reason he won.

[wertyiu102]

I didn't watrch it!!1 *cries8 I love this though. Archuleta=Better than cook. I don't know why he lost... :'(

[AceFrolic720]

lol...the part when he starts jumping during the song!! :D

[Razanalkatkotah]

the volume is sooo low......but thx for the vid!!

[grant122210]

its funny @ the end Simon just gets right out of his chair when david done talking xD

[iLoveCheerleading51]

[karelly10]

It was a surprise to see him at american idol again! I turned up the TV so loud!! hahah. This is my favorite song of him, so I was so so happy! David Archuleta is awesome! I love his voice, he's my favorite singer

[davidinmyheart0704]

when i watched this on Idol last april,i cant keep myself screaming and shouting as loud as i can..!! i just got by my emotions and so happy to see him again on Idol stage

[loomonda18]

<3333333 imy on idol!!!

[AAntaoNMcDonough]

FLASHBACK!

This reminds me when he was on american idol!

[LTDJA]

I remember his performance on April 22, and this video I found browsing around "david archuleta" site and found on Page 29, back pages. In american idol site, they only list the one where a young kid is singing with David while watching the tv. This video you can hear David sing, though can't hear good here. I guess better quality one never made it for view.

[LTDJA]

I don't watch american idol but I did stay and watched the show April 22, just because of David.

I did hear that he was under the weather that night, so he apologized on the twitter that he was not on best form. He always doesn't want to let his fans down. I love him for that. I didn't know he was sick. He did a great job, nice performance, ultimate professional and a great singer.

[jackybeLLe22]

♥♥♥ i LOVE YOU DAViD ♥♥♥

[notanotherface1994]

:) he sang this on my birthday.

hahah he's performed on my birthday two years running now. LoL.

HE IS SOOOOO

awesome.

How can you not love him, LoL

[Hellcome2play]

woow. he seems a little jumpy doesnt he?

[rozie1974]

I love that growl sound at 2:47-2:51 "I'ggrll never get the chance again"...no one does it better than Archie! And only great singers could do that!!!

[sugerbear1985]

OK This is such an amazing performance... I Heard this song for the first time watching this episode of American Idol I had to rewind and watch about 9-10 times cause I was in total Shock with how amazing it was, The Smile on his face when he walked out blew me away the way he sang and danced with such passion was breath taking.. ALL TIME FAV Performance... Keep the passion strong David.. P.S It was way better full blast on my tv cant hear it good enough here :(

[cristina7201]

love you DAVID awesome and amazing performance ever!!!

[snmskicker]

Alison was standing at least and clapping. I loved this performance so much!!! He's sooo cute!

[jcdas2da]

david i like your move while u sing touch my hand i always watching MYX. evrytime i heard very slow sound i want to full volume. ur always number one in my heart. and your so smilling face thats important. u havea great good performance on the stage and to all people watching u! keep up the good work david. GOD BLSS U ALL THE TIME!MWAH

[archangel629]

his growth is just amazing! I mean performance wise. I was just watching his old performances on AI and comparing just this one with all of those.....wow....he is just so much more confident with himself and more comfortable on stage. it's quite remarkable the transformation! I'm so proud of him :)

[kweet13]

omg when i first saw this episode i was screaming my head off!! he did such a great job and he's such a cutie!! =)

[caT4213]

Archuleta in the youTube is an interesting study for my school paper. this video is better audio and visual quality. there are no kid singing in the background by TV watchers. There are at least two videos with young kid singing in the background in other videos. How does Y T choose which videos go into the main listing ? that is an interesting point. Hulu is

[caT4213]

I like this video, good quality. Earlier I saw a poor quality video.. it was in the main season listing.

How come they disable ratings on this video ?

Who decide to disable ratings ?

I'm doing a study on different seasons and how YouTube presents the AI show contestants for a paper I'm doing for school. To view different season, do american idol "season 2" put quotes around the season that you want.

[pibee96]

[fpinto2]

He just has a wonderful light about him, doesn't he? I just love him!

[tulle989]

despite he had a cold, or was sick, it was really awesome, he totally nailed it!!

[PawByPaw]

OH! Ok, yay! ^^

Well, not for the cold. But I was begining to think if he was really a great singer...now I know he is! My mom watched him sing for the first time and thought he was bad...but I tried to tell her he really isn.t

[PawByPaw]

I <3 his singing sooo much!

But I was sad he didn't do as great that day, but still- he's an AMAZING singer!

[whatevagurl16]

he didn't do well that day because he was having a really bad cold...

[arturotube1]

his singing wasn't as good as i know he can do it... i guess it was because he was sick as u guys say, i didn't know it but i did realize he was like exhausted or something... well, that's his job and he can't stop because of a cold hehe...anyways his stage presence has improved a lot.

I really like david, he's one of the best and also my fav singer. ;)

[joancamo]

He's sick because i think he came from Thailand, or the Phillipines and the flight was really long

[goshiluvarchie]

i sorta wanted to hear what the judges thought bout it.

[fernyax3]

me too, but I think Simon liked it because he was clapping at the end xD

[goshiluvarchie]

i think he claps at the end of every guest performance he sees lol.

[butterflygirl45]

I love this song and it is one of my favorite songs and David Archuleta is one of my favorite singers. I think that David Archuleta is cute and I think that he is an amazing singer.

[bionicrat]

Well David did do a blog saying he was a little nervous singing on American Idol again. I thought he was fantastic as usual. It doesn't matter what anyone says because he is doing absolutely fantastic and marvelous around the world on his tour. Crush is almost double platinum . His album has sold 675,000. So him being a little nervous singing on American Idol is not going to hurt him at all. ALL YOU HATERS LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!!!!!
