It's a great cover...but seriously? Lennon is a WORLD Idol, there will never be another like him. Kudos to David, really...but nothing compares to John.
i dont like hes singing with the longing of the words. like ''YOU MAY SAY AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'M A DREAMER. Its better when he sings like john lennon
You know what? :D I could not care less about Lennon and stuff like that ... this boy delivered a performance of his life ... and I stand in silent admiration, as I always do in the presence of such pure talent ... :)

both versions are very different and is a very ignorant statement to say one is better than the other. This is a great cover of an already great song, period
What are you talking about? People still compare John Lennon's original and David's version. But that is not the issue. Nobody touches Lennon's genius song writing skill on this song, but it is David Archuleta who sang the song so well with strong conviction that it revived the message of the song that Lennon tried to tell.
Even now people still talk about this performance because it goes down to the history of Idol as one of the best performances.
i think people should stop comparing David's version to Johns. John Lennon wrote this song with a deep message and people should really try and think that the point is, the message is getting spread regardless of who is singing the song.
ok nvm i just checked your site..and you obviously don't hide that your gay. so that comment i made before probably didnt offend you. so sorry bout that.
I like David's rendition of the sound, but I definitely prefer the original over it. Nothing, in my opinion, can overtake the emotional experience that Lennon is able to cultivate with his original version.
Archuleta deserves a lot of credit, however, he made this song his own in a lot of the correct ways.
Amazing job remastering the audio for this video. The sound is absolutely exceptionally sharp and clear. And of course with David's voice to top things off this is just a flawless clip.
i love this one.. he is so cute and the song is just so perfect for him.. i was in tears when i watched him perform. it's like heaven.. love you david you are so gonna win.. you have my support..
david archuleta is so awesome!!! he's going to win when you like it or not!!! and second will be Brooke then David Cook or Jason Castro!!! I love you david!!! you are so awesome!!! and Danny Noriega was like so awesome he should of won but he got voted off T_T bye cya
yup u definately know wat ur talking about i mean david cook is going to win but david archuleta will also get a recording contract... both davids will win something
i like David a lot,he´s amazing! It reminds me a bit to Naim Thomas (myspace/naimthomas) who was a contestant in a program similar to AI and was kick off in the last programs. Hope that wont happen to David so keep on voting for him!! Btw,if you wanna listen a bit of Naim Thomas just check out his space,he also has an amazing voice and similar style. Good luck David!!
John Lennon's version was better

In my opinion, this is the best version/cover of the song. While John Lennon was a very very good song writer, his singing was simply average,
and he did not show as much emotion as DA did by singing the song, just my opinion.
