Lightcandle5 and snewmano, that was the moment that the judges and the audiences knew who would be the winner and at that time somebody was already in tears, thinking that he wasn't going to win. David was just enjoying the night, and he didn't really care whether he would win or not, he was so humble and so grateful. Try to watch the final evening again, and you will see what I mean.
Two years later, and no one participating on American Idol has even come close to David's level of talent. Watching this performance makes me adore him even more. In my eyes, he will always be the ultimate American Idol.
Okay, people. This year's AI is down to Adam and Kris. I like Kris, although I don't think his vocal ability is terribly consistent, and Adam is too full of himself to impress me. I want David back!!!! But fortunately, our David is too busy being an international superstar to come back to Idol. And rightly so. No other contestant has ever come close to David's talent, sincerity, and consistent vocal skill. He is the best singer AI has ever produced!!!!
i like him a lot, he is a great singer... but he is not the best singer that AI has produced... i mean: KELLY, CARRIE, JENNIFER, CLAY, ALLISON (extremely talented) KELLIE, TAMYRA... and that's just a few better than him. He is very nice, i met him at the after party on may, he is very humble
@snewman0 its ok he didnt win. because if you win your bogged down by the american idol contract longer. if your 2nd its a lot less. ALSO hes doing a lot better off then cook
i love love love this song, but i never got to download it on itunes because it was only on it for a few days, can you like email it to me? i'll send you my email if that's okay just let me know (: thank so so much!!
Aaaahhhhh...the Archugrowl at 1:30!!!!! It melts me every time, especially when he follows it up with the angelic high note!!!! David, you really know how to touch my soul!!!!
I still get chills whenever I watch this video!!!! David Archuleta is vocal perfection personified!!!! I can't get enough of his golden voice and his charming stage presence. There will never be another singer like him!!!
Awesome! Nearly a year later and I still have chills when watching this. ITA, this was his winning moment! His powerful voice is certainly more than enough for me, but he has has a spirit that has changed people's lives.
Thanks for posting this up, I've seen David twice live, but this performance... chokes me up every time I watch it.. never has an artist been so deeply connected to his music. David's passion ...his music...his voice... truly awe inspiring.
My good, I love this kid, I love this song...He should have won American Idol. I like David Cook also, but David Archuleta has a great and powerful voice. Can anyone tell me if this song by david archuleta was released in a cd? I would really would like to buy it!!!
I already bouth the cd in the net...I love the songs...Hopefully he will have a lot of sucesss around the world... i really think he deserves it!!! I'm from Portugal so I don't really know how the sales are in USA. Is he in the top's? Does he sell a lot or not? I hoe he does!!!
@lightacandle5 Because music is dead. It's freakin ridiculous that he didn't win the competition after such an amazing performance. AND BY 12 MILLION VOTES?! Come on! *shakes head*
I love AI Season 7! Best season of American Idol! David Archuleta is THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!
