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!!
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 :)
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
@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?
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.
@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
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!!!
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 & 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
@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
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 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!
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
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!
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.
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.
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
@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....
@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
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@dscroggs4 you actually think this is original??? are you crazy... this has been done.. have you ever heard of boyce avenue...this is a total rip off.. this guy has a decent voice but he will never be construed as being totally original..
@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.
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

@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.......
@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.

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.
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

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!!
ehomeless232 1 year ago
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?
ehomeless232 1 year ago
@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.
ehomeless232 1 year ago
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

@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 1 year ago
@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....

KeriKeeper10149 1 year ago
@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

@dscroggs4 you actually think this is original??? are you crazy... this has been done.. have you ever heard of boyce avenue...this is a total rip off.. this guy has a decent voice but he will never be construed as being totally original..

@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$ha
iverson30333 1 year ago
@iverson30333 ...lol.....Ke$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 1 year ago
@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 1 year ago
@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 1 year ago
@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.
ehomeless232 1 year ago
@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 1 year ago
@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.....

@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?

ehomeless232 1 year ago
@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.
misomeshi 1 year ago
@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

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 1 year ago 12
@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???
ehomeless232 1 year ago
@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.
