Top 8 - Shout to the Lord (studio version)

[martinyanga]

Cook's voice blew me away. Incredible. Reaching that height without using his falsetto. He truly is an American Idol.

[Ajbh08]

They all should've sang it like this for the show, its much better. :)

[Lightcaster123]

Carly ROCKED on this one!

And David A, of course.

Great song!

[xMYxONLYxYOUx]

Lord there is none like you,

all of my days, I want to praise the

wonders of your mighty love:)

VERY NICE :D

Godbless you always, David:)

[kali902000]

yea seriously carly and dc are amazing on this. and syesha too. syesha never got enough credit on the show but shes amazing. and of course archie

[maryp911]

Just beautiful.  Love David Archuleta.

[officialdavidcookfan]

great song for Jesus..

good voices from cook,archie,syesha,kristy and carly

is that brooke whos singing at 1:31-1:42?

[favregirl1]

yes

[craazyonuu]

Carly did amazing, but the whole song was good. Their all amazing, made me cry! :(

[TripleThreatDiva06]

Damn!!! Cookie cranked out those highnotes! I love Archie and Micheals' tones in this. I wonder why they sang different solos on performance night? I would have loved to hear this version live!

[jridid]

WHo would have thought Jesus name is proclaimed in American idol?? Wow!!

Our God is an awesome God!!

Your name is to be lifted up Lord!!!

[cookieglow]

*a [few people...]

[cookieglow]

Quite upset they excluded Jason, the little part he did sing was absolutely beautiful. His voice is so caring. I know that's a wierd thing to say but it sounds REALLY caring in this, his tone suits it so much. He really deserved longer and a solo. Love this song, love Archie's vocals in this particularly. Won't mention names but s few people who don't exactly sound great in this got too many parts.

[fpinto2]

Archie really feels it.. and I feel him. He really connects you to the music. Love that kid so much.

[coydreamer]

Carly, Michael and the Davids blew me away.

Jason doesn't even have a solo.

Why does Kristy have the most parts?

[chunkymonkeh]

3:34 <3 love david archuleta!

[taifink]

Woah.

David Archuleta you sound like an angel from heaven.

[2911Faith]

This is the most beautiful song...Praise the Lord!!!

[houseofblackleaves]

XD

Carly totally owns everyone here.

[RascalsTavu]

Needs more tags... Cook, Archuleta, Idol etc...  This deserves more views, definitely.

[gustavolego0112]

This song is awesome, I can't understand why there are just a few views. This is the best vocal collaboration ever. Brook's voice in low tones is awesome, Archie's also very very good, Michael Johns' participation is minimum but good. For the higher notes, Carly truly shines here, Syesha is good in both high and low notes but didn't get so many parts, also David Cook didn't get so many parts but his voice sounds really really good. Jason is singing in the chorus I guess, and so Kristy should.

[cac1228]

Jason is only at .41- 50 singing with Kristy. What a shame. I'm a a bit upset they excluded him.

[parlay85]

i liked david doing most of the loud parts at the end on the show..i like the live show verson much better!! david cook was awesome in that one...well this one too...i just like watching him!!! lol

[goyanks13240]

Carly completely dominated this song. She has an incredible voice. She hit all those high notes so well. I couldn't really tell the difference between Kristy and Syesha, but they had a lot of parts too. Brooke, Jason, and David A were barely in it at all, especially Jason. I think he only had 1 solo. lmao. You can really tell who has the most talent by who sang more during this song. But it is an amazing song.

[fashionfreak1823]

OMG this totally gives me goosebacks everytime I hear it. =]]

[rightsaidcat]

dude i want this verison, but i can find it on itunes. did they take it down??

[FloatingGrin]

Somebody said this morning it's still there. I can't get Itunes on my puter so I don't know where though. Look under Idol Gives Back maybe? I don't know.

[robbyrichard04]

Amazing!!

[stephanie2442]

I love Michael's part, I would like to hear him sing the whole thing. All of them did a wonderful job though &hearts;

[cookieglow]

They're so lame for not giving Jason a solo part- his voice is the most distinctive.

[brettstruthers]

Does anyone know why I can't find this song by the American Idols on i-tunes anymore?

[tristanvoyageur87]

Carly Smithson and Syesha Mercado dominated nearly the entire song. Sure, they were screaming most of the time, but it was amazing.

David Cook's solo was awesome, especially the ending.

I couldn't tell Brooke White and Kristy Lee Cook's performances apart.

I'm a fan of David Archuleta, but they shouldn't have given him the part he had here. It was pretty weak.

My least favorite, however, was Michael John's. However small it was.

That leaves the question, where was Jason Castro?

[lernypop]

Brooke's parts are a bit breathier and Kristy's are smoother. My favorite was Carly, she started out beautifully and her power later in the song is incredible. I was also suprised with David Cook, I didn't realize he had such a big voice.

[Rawk4Life]

I think he's the dominating vocal during the first "nothing compares to the promise I have in you" line.

[MSAmericanIdol21]

AMAZING I WOULD SO BUY AN ALBUM WITH DAVID A's songs!

[Valzee002]

Kristy is too loud - David A is the best, the most clear and he doesn't have to "Shout" to be heard.

[smileymiley123]

I totally agree!

His voice is the type u would hold ur breath to hear if he was singin quietly.

Michael Johns is so good cause he has a ruff voice without even yelling.

David Cook just...yells, pretty much

[lernypop]

The reason David A. never "shouted" (I use quotes because it's not shouting, it's belting) is because none of his parts required belting. There are certain verses that are kind of like climatic points in the song and need that kind of powerful vocal.

[33eeddcc]

David Archuleta's parts sounds very good here.Its not just the range of the voice that counts.Its the connection to the song. GO DAVID!!!

[Shauzia3]

David Cook's part at the end was awesome :) Jason Castro really needs to improve. He's really only here right now because he's so pretty. It's good that he doesn't have a part....

[MSAmericanIdol21]

yeah jason's voice is too soft

[504KB]

archie's voice = beautiful!

[muzakid31]

The live performance was better than this. This is just a little bit TOO over the top.

[andreadlc]

I miss Michael so bad. I wish he was there. :(

[savemeproductions]

i miss Carly and Michael!!! :S

[Blingbling93]

i love michael. i wish he was still in the competition. i was REALLY looking forward to hear him sing vision of love...

[doorstop32]

Brooke, David, Carly sound great!

[MSAmericanIdol21]

which david?

[CShorty55]

He prolly just sings in the background then..cuz i've listened to this like a million times, and Jason definatly doesn't have a solo!!

[InClaysHeart]

omg, Archie's runs are beautiful!! He has the best voice in this song!!!!!!

[CShorty55]

Why doesn't Jason have a part in this?

[Zigzag4me]

He has a part, we just can't hear him cuz his voice his so soft.

[TanyaMcDreamy]

jason doesn't have a part simply because his voice doesn't even compare to the rest of theirs. there's no power in it.

[CShorty55]

David A. and Carly sound great on this!

[talkabout2me]

Syesha rocked the end with her smooth soft voice, like that girl

[taekapwet]

yes! shout to the lord! All of em are great!

[KentuckyFriedCruelty]

Aww I didn't buy this but David A's parts sounds so nice. And I love Carly's parts.

[cb3858]

I love David A's part. He has a beautiful voice and so does Carly.

[iluvferdie]

i think the studio version is a bit whiny.

they don't sound good in this track.

i like the live version better.

Carly's voice hurts my ears.

hehehe..

Kudos to the Idols!

[MSAmericanIdol21]

I love it! DO you by any chance have the seasons of love version studio?

[rabbitnda]

i'd love to have studio version of "seasons of love"..it's a nice song you know

[ash4evagrl]

no at 0:25 its david archuleta singing. is that carly at the beginning? cant tell.

[craazyonuu]

Yes it is Carly singing at the beginning : ) :D Amazing, eh ? :D

[MSAmericanIdol21]

Wow this is Amazing!

[piratesobkkjd]

do they have this studio version of that one sing "Don't Stop The Music" of them singing?

[gerbilstar]

wait thats not Jason at 0:25 sec. sorry guys

[jEffR0dIZzlE]

It's David Archuleta.

[gerbilstar]

Isn't Jason at 0:25 Sec??

I know he's my fave and I cant hear or know where he's singing.

But dont worry I still love all the AI contestants, not just Jason.

But hes my fave out of all =]

SO unique

[afobfan4life]

gerbilstar, that is David A at :25 secs. I don't hear Jason either :( And he is definitely a Christian, too bad they didn't let him have a solo. I have read some who say it's because the Davids, Carly and Syesha have stronger voices. Well, IMO, anyone who is singing praises to our Lord have a strong voice. EVERYONE should have had a chance to shine. The song is still awesome.

[elliu]

I will never get tired of this song, I can listen to it over and over again the message is beyond amazing, plus all David A's parts are really good his voice stood out!

[CShorty55]

they should record all of the group songs.

[twentin08]

thanks so much for uploading this!!!!!! i could listen to this everyday. lol. you're the best!!!!

[shirinie54321]

Which part did Jason sing?

I could recognize everyone's voice except Jason.

Did he not get a part? I hope he did.

He's good.

I'm a 100% Archuleta fan but that's not fair to Jason.

[bigfish1415]

as the sound of ur name...i think that's Jason part

[gerbilstar]

It could be im not sure.

I heard it, but its not fair if thats his only part.

[afobfan4life]

Okay, I was wondering the same thing, where is Jason?? I can hear A LOT of David A, Carly and Michael. I can hear the others here and there...exept for Jason. Why wouldn't they make it even, how unfair. Wish they would stop shoving David A down our throats. I like his voice but I think it is totally unprofessional the way Simon keeps saying David A is going to win. Anyway, I miss Jason's voice on this version, shame on you AI! =(

[s5bg1k]

sucks, i thot Michael Johns would get farther...

[xmareedax]

i love david archuleta!!

:D

[JimSBand]

I love it! =D

I miss Michael Johns too. :( He didn't deserve to leave.

[ina113]

FIRST.

aww. I MISS MICHAEL JOHNS.
