I thought he was singing very well, but at the same time it seemed like he was deviating from the song a bit. I really wanted to hear him sing some of the original melodies that Lennon did. I feel like that would have made the song more recognizable.
I can't believe anyone would given Jason Castro the timne of day after he screwed up so bad. He even admitted he was ready to go home and couldn't imagine learning three songs. Michael Johns was way better than David Cook. It should have been him and David Archuleta in the finals. That would have been way more exciting.
All the lesser david fans who have to come here prove, as much as class singing like this, that David Archuleta is a superior being from Planet Song.
Please, all you lost souls from the ranks of the lesser david's dwindling army, keep coming over here to the best singer's videos. Your fear inspires us.
David, what a incredible moving performance you truly are fantastic, i have to say you are the best i have heard on either american idol and x factor here in the uk.
All this talk of you being gay its peoples way of dealing with jealousy....your truly a great singer and I know you will win this year.Ignore the negatives people put and focus on the positives I know which ones their are more of.............
In my many years of listening to Imagine, I never believed that any rendition would still me as Lennon's version did. David reinvented the message and melody - he is such a humble and exceptionally talented soul and deserves all the accolades. He is youth and he is hope and perhaps the most extraordinary talent I have noted in years. An incredible breath of freshness in a Hollywood that is quite chaotic.
same hes voice is just a little out of tone.

whoever said he got vocal cord surgery, you're just fuckin jealous. get over yourself and let someone else have their day.

@Celticcraftz lol come on! He had vocal cord surgery! That's where the rasp comes from, and that is also partly why he is so great.

His interpretation of this legendary song was so amazing for a 17 year old. He performed it in such a pure and honest way that it just mesmerized me.

it's very good.
I feel like he does it too flowery tho, too much ornament on the end of each sentence takes away the overall depth of the song. But man, incredible.

THIS GUY WILL WIN AMERICAN IDOL 08'! I'LL PUT THE BIGGEST BET WITH ANYONE!
He's got all if not more qualities that a musical idol should be.
Young, IT/X factor, magnetic appeal, charming, humble, lovable by all ages.
