  • This is the single best audition on American Idol EVER

  • fuck youtube put a repeat button

  • This version is beautiful.. but sorry to say this but he screwed it up in the studio version

  • Damn, Bruno Mars lost some weight.

  • Ahhh I died when I saw this on AI!Always wanted to hear Forever done like this-acoustic version I mean.The song is beautiful and so melodic and what Andrew did with it...BRILLIANT!!LOVE IT!!

  • Comment removed

  • i really do LOVE his beautiful voice. like for real idk who the real winner was, but i feel like hes the only singer in american idol that has that voice that only so many ppl can have. well he's gone far even after Amer. idol. GOD BLESS Andrew Garcia and his family :)

  • Does anyone know what chords is he playing?

  • one of my favorite performances on American Idol ever!

  • Andrew's version makes Boyce Avenue's look like trash!

  • i don't like the chris brown version but i love this version of the song

  • he made the song's lyrics stand out so much more. it's a love song first, a R&B/soul song second. very, very good.

  • you´re not good.really not.you´re the best fucking singer in this show

  • His voice is amazinnnnngg...

    his glasses= cutee(:

    hes cuute & his voice is a bonuss.

    I hope to meet this dude some day .

    ANDREWGARCIAFOREVER!

  • I mustve listen to this a 100 times. I think your Great Andrew...one day will find you to sing at my wedding :) !!!

  • he's not confident enough while performing... it shows

  • This is 1000x better than boyce avenue. His voice is terrible and it was painful to listen to.

    Andrew has the best version of this song that I have heard!!

  • HiI'minfuckinglovewithyou. <3

  • his voice is so smooth and soothing... and sweet personality (and smile too by the way)

  • the boyce ave version blows in comparison... way too fast, who cares if its original, chris brown was original. its about who is best and this is the best version imo

  • the boyce ave version blows in comparison... way too fast, who cares if its original, chris brown was original. its about who is best

  • the boyce ave version blows in comparison... way too fast

  • It'd be dope to have Andrew Garcia sing this as a first dance at my wedding. Fuckin dope!

  • better than that abusive nigger chris brown...

  • @TheLifeSource shut yo cracker ass up

  • @RayMagic92 stfu and dont even stick up for him cause what he did was wrong. i bet your the same nigga that he is. abusive, ignorante big ass ego motha fucka.

  • @TheLifeSource i never hit a women in my life racist you people always stereotyping people stop talking over the computer and say that to a persons face boy

  • @RayMagic92 I aint fucking racist. white black green, i dont give a fuck what color you are, i dont like you i call you a nigga!! simple as that and okay then you dont hit woman but do you aprove of it? if not then don't tell me to shut my ass up.

  • @TheLifeSource hell no i don't approve what chris did he is a bitch for doing that but don't come on here callin people niggers thats weak sitting behind a computer saying that crap

  • @RayMagic92 like i said, if your an arrigant mother fucker idc what the color of your skin is. cause that don't matter, your a nigger. even if you fucking albino ignorant fool you still a nigger. get my point?

  • @TheLifeSource WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM YOU DUMBASS PIECE OF SHIT!!?!?!? GO FUCK YOURSELF AND STFU!!

  • just had a listen to boyce avenue. they are pretty good but dont even come close to this imo

  • youre the one whos crazy, the boyce avenue version sounds like absolute dog shit. his voice is way too high. this version actually sounds like the original.

  • WTF?? So far 25 friken dumb idiots missed the thumbs up on the video!!! LIke how can you NOT like andrew garcia????????????? gosh..... TEAMANDREWGARCIA!!!:) ALL THE WAY!!:D

  • He has the potential to become a very very big artist, kinda like Jason Mraz. He wasn't as good on the show because he just sucked at picking the right songs that suited his genre of music.

  • oops 24 people missed the like button

  • this is PERFECT. he looks very comfortable and his voice suited this song better than chris brown. (chris isnt bad andrew is just better)

  • @celtticnesses, that is EXACTLY how i feel:)!!! Finally someone understands! TEAMANDREWGARCIA:)!!!(Forever) lol:P

  • @dscroggs Sunday Morning is a song that he's done over and over and over again, so you're damn right that he had the best audition by far. Everybody had Andrew Garcia winning, but that was because the few good performances he gave he had canned. Once he had to work within guidelines and pull up something all new in a week, he couldn't deliver while Crystal and Lee did so time and time again. No way in hell is Andrew better artist than Crystal, and I'm one of the people that had him winning

  • il kill u all just to get andrew garcia a big record deal aha team garcia blap blap

  • Haters gonna hate, but this is what that is.

  • oops 24 people missed the like button!!

  • GAHH this was AMAZING!

    And he sang it on my birthday, too :D

  • andrew was on a different level than american idol.

    he should be making records, not singing for judges that barely recognize his originality and talent.

  • His glasses, this song, his voice, I'm in love :)

  • he was too good for American Idol. Dont get me wrong, i love the show but he was just too original and the themes didnt allow him to show what he can really do. Absolutely love this performance!!

  • @soccerchica818 Exactly! I could not have said it better myself, most of the videos of him singing alone, with a guitar, in his room at home are better than half of the performances that are on American Idol. I cant wait for him to make a cd!!!

  • @soccerchica818 That is so true! I think that is the case for a lot of people. They are way above a talent competition.

  • This is my absolute favorite performance from the entire Season 9 American Idol. Andrew's voice is amazing and the song was perfection! I really hope he puts this version of Forever on his first album.

  • cool rendition..

  • Best performance in Hollywood.

  • best american idol dam he should of won straight up! Andrews#1 fan

  • itunes really fucked up when they released the karaoke version. they should of kept this performance for the american idol album.

  • he was in bottom 3 ONCE then went home andrew garcia is the best in american idol history hands down

  • holy shit that was good

  • well he was my favorite, but now that i think about it, he really isnt that great, but still do andrew and i hope that he gets big

  • i love this so much. it's better than the original in my opinion

  • Him and Lee need to get together and make an album together. I would buy that in a Heart Beat!!

  • COOL & HUSKY voice, UNIQUE ACOUSTIC style, GOOD personality, NICE BIG eyeglasses..that's andrew! if he will just be given a big break in the music industry, he'll definately go to stardom! i think andrew really pulled it of when it comes to acoustic types of songs..=D

  • epic

  • i honestly think andrew could of won if he sung more recent songs

    he is one of the best no doubt :D

  • i think he should have left on straight up instead of you give me something!

  • Man I just cant get enough of that voice, "forever, forever" ha!

  • Truly owned this song , heart and and soul better than the original.

  • waiting on the album... :D

  • waiting on the album...

  • funny how ratings on ai have been at an all time low since andrew left. maybe cause he WAS the entire show!

  • @kookoomaro1 ...Then why did he get voted off? Not trying to say Andrew ain't great, but that logic kind of contradicts itself.

  • @Revan540 most great singers have been voted off for some reason... adam lambert, blake lewis, danny gokey, etc. american idol kind of has freaked up voting results

  • @kookoomaro1 Everyone you just mentioned was in the top three. Garcia wasn't. But, he was in the bottom 3 for several weeks.

  • i think this was even better than straight up but the judges kept on and on , i think this arrangement is only for a music genius, hope to see andrew soon with his own songs

  • I love Andrew

  • I pray that Andrew Garcia gets signed and makes an album. I want to listen to him singing all day. Andrew Garcia should have been the next American Idol. He definitely is the most original, and I love the way he changes up song. Go Andrew!

  • i really wish andrew and lee wud be at the finals!! too bad he has to goo! :((((

  • props to you people who have given comments!!!!i completely agree with all of your comments!!!!!

  • not all first are the best... :D

  • the only reason hes out coz hes the best singer . The others feel threathened by him so best is to vote him off

  • andrew garcia writes good music to and i dont think crystal ever has

  • u can tell adam felt threatened andrew garcia is way better ur kidding ur self if ur tellin me adam lambert has beter voice or style tims better then adam lmfao boo adam lambert worst mentor ever u cant mentor people better then u andrew garcia writes good music check it out live and learn by andrew garcia if it was recorded propperly in studio hed b rich

  • andrew garcia is the best in american idol history hands down watch and listen i woulda payed 5 grand to c him make one more week cuz i know he coulda won he was goin bak to gutair and r&b adam lambert ruined andrew garcia elvis week he started it off nice soft with gutair and then adam made him switch it up said it was boring but thats wat he needed like tim did that nite tims only good performance slow boring but beautiful show america andrew garcia has the best most purest voice theyv had

  • This song is so much better when you dont have autotune BS for that reason Andrew is much better than Chris Brown I hope Andrew never becomes an autotune sellout

  • wow this is what ppl say is better than chris brown's original ? i gave it a listen and i think it is nowhere near the original .. this is too careful.. idk what else to say

  • At the begning of thee show, he was my fav guy. But throughout the top 24 and 12, he did horrible, until this performance. But then after this performance, he started to suck again, so i just gave up on him. LEEEEEEEE ALL THE WEEEEEEEEEEAY

  • So mad he's voted off

  • WOW Incredible! Listen to the Chris Brown version and comeback and listen to this one! This one is way better in my opinion. Andrew was my favorite and its good you didn't win since you will not be tied up to any contracts, stupid makeovers and best of all you can keep doing at what you do best, which is be yourself. Awesome!

  • i can see he went with the adam lambert hairdoo huh?? :P

  • LOVE HIM!

  • i really liked this performance

  • I LOVE YOU ANDREW!!!! I will buy all your albums. scout's honour :) <3 <3

  • hes gone

  • wish you did not go home ); you are so good at singing

  • @nathan0185 screw the rules of AI... they should've used their save on andrew

  • This is by far my favorite preformance by him, I was so sad when he was voted off, but yeah he's going to be on Ellen's show soon, this was his moment, if he had more preformances like this, where he was so original and into it, he would still be on it. He was my favorite, I don't even know if I'll be watching now that he's gone.

  • @CharlotteAnnBailey you're wrong, if andrew had more performances like this, he would be the next... american idol

  • He is so cute I lovge him so much

  • it's a shame he didn't capture this / his identity each week. several performances looked and sounded like he was forced to be someone else. america couldn't figure it out, or respect it.

  • Obviously, andrew is the one with the best voice in this season but i guess he just sux at picking songs lol

  • btw, thanks for posting this vid, i love it. i'm all 50k views....lol. also, i'm hoping for a great 'straight up' performance on Ellen soon... not sure 'if' or 'when' but hoping!!

  • As for his great yt vids.... kinda shows that he doesn't know who he is as an artist when he's seemingly so lost on idol. not to sound like simon but give props where props are due... the guy is very successful in this game, he knows his stuff. Last thing, to compare originals against crystal.... i have listened to crystals waaaaaay more. i never thought about it till now but that prolly means something?

  • @dscroggs4 ....same as iverson30333.....can't always tell who's going to have longevity in this business. however, there are slam dunks and then there are the Andrews of the world.... sound amazing but don't deliver when given the opportunity. granted... the show aside... producers and such will be coaching the artists throughout but even that's no sure fire recipe.

  • id rather 3 HIT performances and a couple off ones then a PRETTY good performance every week from crystal plus i think andrew garcia has delivered us magic everyweek jus cant be better then the original every time like people want

  • hes the best

  • to bad he got eliminated...

  • @dscroggs4 .......yo man this guy had 2 good performances and everything else was crap. what do you expect to happen? good news, he'll be on Ellen performing very soon!! you know what that means. BTW, know way this guys a better artist than Crystal... she delivers week after week, he did not. simple deal really... the cream of the crop rises to the top. and don't get me wrong, i love them both.

  • @ehomeless232 ya but you are basing this on his idol performances which have not been great..... however his Idol audition "sunday morning" probably the best audition....Straight up without a doubt the best Hollywood performance and arguably the best of the year.......This Forever arguably the best of the live shows....your right he didn't deliver every week...but nearly all of his pre-idol YOUTUBE vids are sick....and his "originals" that he has wrote...could be on the radio right now....

  • @dscroggs4  he has been great I love him he is so so so so so so so so so so so so so cute

  • @ehomeless232 like i said earlier .....in 5 years you won't know Crystal's name...but in 5 years you'll know andrew's.... Crystal's style has been done ..and is played out she's doing well b/c she reminds everyone of Bonni Raitt or Janis Joplin...just a decent imitation is all...andrew is original and something new....once he gets his head straight watch out..... GO A.G.

  • @dscroggs4 But she's better than the rest so what the heck. live by the moment:-)) you'll never know.. she might surpass joplin, raitt, etc;-)) THOUGH i also love andrew's style :-))

  • @dscroggs4 you are 100% right. i completley agree with you! i would have liked to see more of andrew on idol but im glad he got voted off as well because now he can make his own album instead of some crapy american idol album. he will be able to do his own thing which is what he is best at. i will be supporting him all the way. good luck andrew

  • @Therobman17 yup boyce is one of my fav bands...and this is no where near close to their arragement...nice try though...

  • @dscroggs4 well this is pretty good i like the way he put it to his own sorta beat you have to give some credit for that

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @Therobman17 you fuckin idiot, boyce avenue's version is way too fast, it don't even come closer to andrew's version, try listening to both versions again mother fucker...Don't try to criticize coz you suck at it MORON...

  • @ehomeless232 there's a way bigger market out there for Andrew......if Crystal tried out for idol last yr. she might have had a chance to make a record...make America already found a white female that looks like shes on crack, her name is Ke$ha

  • @iverson30333 ...lol.....Ke$ha...thats good stuff..........as far as the market place...nobody can ever say for sure and that's why you have shows like this...to see what the people want. pretty simple deal really. i think they will both end up with records. if i could predict who would be around longer and more successful... well... i'd be a successful record maker guy like simon.

  • @ehomeless232 and dude his style is like current rnb / hip hop music , with elvis and beatles music he was bound to get eliminated this week. i wish the had like modern music this week i think his performance would have brought him straight into the top 3

  • @jrjy1023 ....it's funny of you to say his style is RnB and Elvis week hurt him in the same sentence..........if you can't make "RnB king" Elvis Presley or the fathers of modern music, The Beatles, sound good then something might be wrong with you. think about it. BTW, my hero's are not without fault. think about that as well. .....I will look forward to a great album from Andrew but if it's crap... i won't buy it.

  • @ehomeless232 ...well actually elvis is the king of rock and the type of RnB elvis did sing is not anything like chris brown or andrews style for that matter. Some people in AI do a good job of singing different genres to fit their style, it just wasnt something andrew could pull off every week. But also i think the judges are more confusing than they have ever been, telling people they should do one thing but then saying they shouldnt do it if they fail the next performance.

  • @thefranchize261 .....i'd say Andrew could sound great singing just about any song with the right arrangement and use of dynamics. example... while i did not like his choice of upbeat cheesy songs (ie can't buy me love, hound dog) he could have slowed em down and went laid back acoustic style ala 'forever' and accompanied with some nice vocal dynamics he could have had winners.

  • @thefranchize261 .....also... yes the judges are pretty flip-floppy with there advice. because of that fact it would help if the artist had a concrete style (like crystal) that no matter what they were told they were still gonna do 'their' thing.

  • @ehomeless232

    i get what u mean.... we like andrew garcia and that's it... so what if he played only three chords throughout sunday morning on ellen? its all about the artistry and you have to appericiate his talent. He definately has more potential than the rest.....

  • @ehomeless232 but andrew will be 80000x better then chrystal if he made an album cuz all his songs will be his style. and chrystal.........she needa fix the teeth

  • @misomeshi .....come on man... fix her teeth?...that's just childish. dude act like a grown folk. as for the better album?....who's knows? One thing I know for sure... you think it will be Andrew. another thing I will say....what's Andrew style?....after ai it's could easily be the subject of much debate.

  • @ehomeless232 lol ya srry bout that teeth thing. wut i mean is that in idol he was always trying to try new things to see if they worked and usually they didnt. but if he makes a album thers prbo people that know wut songs he shuld do or not do so he has better input b4 he does the song unlike in idol.

  • @ehomeless232 oh and his style.... its like i dont rlly know how to say it. is accoustic a style xD well he has his own style and thats wut i think lots of people liked about him, he wasnt like anything else we heard on idol

  • Better than the Studio version. :-bd

  • andrew garcia too good for american idol start makn cds u king

  • recording artist?prolly not..but good covers?sure..

  • Perfeito!! Amei!!

  • 1-866-436-5702 if everyone who reads this dials 1-866-436-5702 for the next hour he will be back next week,, vote just 1 hour of your time , dont be lazy be part of it ,i am typing with one hand and dialing with the other, 1-866-436-5702 keep andrew alive 41 minutes ago

  • @BossCheeChee he's in.....b/c he's sick...had the best audition bar none....had the best hollywood perfomance bar none...and.... this forever is probably the best live show perfomance of anyone this year...bar none....... his pre-idol vids are sick....he's just nervous and hasn't been himself on the show..... crystal will win this year and in 5 years no one will know her name....but in 5 years we'll all know andrew.......

  • @dscroggs4 Lol.. Great prediction. I actually kinda agree..

  • @dscroggs4 AMEN!

  • @dscroggs4 dont forget his song sugar we're goin downtown...it was the fist song he did for the live shows

  • @dscroggs4  except lee won soo....

  • @dscroggs4 the world isnt ready for andrew. he's too creative and it goes over everyones head.

  • @BossCheeChee dude even if he chooses crap songs most of the time it doesnt change that hes a great singer. and he sings differently so he'll be more successful then people that havent gotten voted off yet.

  • 1-866-436-5702 if everyone who reads this dials 1-866-436-5702 for the next hour he will be back next week,, vote just 1 hour of your time , dont be lazy be part of it ,i am typing with one hand and dialing with the other, 1-866-436-5702 keep andrew alive

  • vote nonstop for 2 hours i am 1-866-436-5702 if you dont , dont complain if voterd off

  • every time he says Dance floor his eye brows raise slightly lol Its awsome

  • I must say...I don't comment often...but Andrew deserves every vote he gets. I realize he has been hit or miss....but just think of an album with both 'straight up' and 'forever' on it....two massive hits...plus whatever he is able to put together. He is the one artist I truly believe in in the contest. He has such a true style that works so great for him.

    This song is much better than his rendition of 'Straight Up' it's so amazing. Go Andrew! Hope the song choice is fitting for next week!

  • @kuhnet ....yep yep... i hope when he drops 'straight up' it's not all cheezed out. it's scary to think it was only him and an acoustic... what's the album going to be like? hopefully it's as good or better. i wish he'd have played 'forever' on ellen. i really wasn't diggin 'sunday morning' so much... it was semi monotone sounding and the lack of breaks with the guitar were annoying.... 3 chords over and over without change.... dynamics people... am i the only musician here???

  • @kuhnet I agree, those are the two best songs he's done only because we all know what genre he's best at and he didn't use his skills to find that perfect song. He just kept picking horrible songs for himself! but i love him to death.

  • google mp3iifffy to download this song from youtube.

  • google mp3iiiiify to download this song from youtube.

  • i wanna kill tim urban he sucks so bad two parents with amazing voices almost get sent home all cuz tims cute :S dont look good america

  • i like metal but this good............best american idol off all time

  • I think the reason he made this is because he thought he would have gone the nest night.

  • im from canada and cant vote so vote 4 me andrew garcia makes me jelous as a non american hes the best

  • He's never been my favorite, but I absolutely LOVED him singing this song. I voted for him that night.

  • Love this!!

  • GO ANDREW GARCIA!!!!!!

  • im donating a thousand to sick kids if he doesn't get voted off next week

  • ANDREW WILL WIN!

  • when he says "ya" at 00:13 i love that part for some reason.....lol!

  • Last night showed the importance of Voting....VOTE VOTE VOTE.....GO A.G.

  • omg people vote for andrew as many times as u can hes the best and i would die 4 that dude an i dont even know him thats how talented he is mad amazing voice and people like tim urban whos terrible r winning becuz people think hes cute its rediclous and makes me sick lee andrew and crystal the most amazing and still andrew is the best hes wrote his own song that could b an instant hit if he won check more of him out ul c

  • second best of his preformances straight up was better :)

  • Moreno Valley!!!
