  • 25 people hate america

  • this is the perfect song to sing to see who is a real singer.no music, just ur voice. and David is good(:

  • beautiful <3

  • So beautiful!! And his singing wasn't too bad either ;) jk he is amazing!

  • mmm such a clear beautiful voice!! best National Anthem I've EVER heard!!!

  • OMG *-* DIOS BENDIGA A ESE NIÑO K BELLO :D

  • @MyMentalistmind Well said.

  • marc anthony - national anthem  "search"

  • In my humble opinion, one of the best to sing the national anthem.

  • his voice is so beautiful

  • EFFING AWESOMEE!!!!! DAVID YOU ARE BOSS

  • Have to announce, that I - as a German - want to have this National anthem as the one of my country. But I believe, you Americans will not allow that ;-)

  • its nice having a guy sing this for once

  • why is jay cutler in the pro bowl

  • thats my baby,thats my boo,thats my papi, and he did great!!!!!

  • I wanna be American

  • I thought he has some potential only he has. That's why I love all his performance . Love :)

  • Nice well done

  • I don't understand why he isn't more famous... I dunno I think he should be having huge record sales.. Maybe Jive just doesn't know what to do with him because he can actually sing and he isn't JUST a sex symbol like they are use to. I will always be a fan of his. He may not have the most powerful voice, but he sings with emotion and most of us can feel it. I for one believe he has such a smooth beautiful voice!

  • @MyMentalistmind THE EXACT deserves more recognition

  • love such pure voice, support david as always!

  • helicopters's sounds are annoying ugh

  • I think what counts is the feeling, which he delivers

  • WOW everytime I hear the National Anthem... just to see the plains an or helicopters fly over.. just gives me the chills an touches my heart!

  • im not impressed at all very weak check out Geoff tate from Queensryche sing this blows this guy away Vocally

  • Comment removed

  • too many sound effects

  • Celebrating America

  • i love you david

  • he was singing before the announcer even shutup yet

  • Thumbs up if this helped you recover from cristinas mega fail.

  • I love david!!! He used to be my neighbor when we were little :) It was way long ago, but I remember all of it :) We love you David!!! All of us in Utah are by your side 100%!!!

  • how can ppl NOT LIKE him?? hes awesome

  • amaazingggg O.o he sings so beatifull!!! I have a question btw. How can you get THERE to sing the national athem?

  • He's amazing! I think that because when he breathes in, you hear his nerves, it shows he's still a normal person who does get nervous! (Even though it doesnt show in his singing!)

  • David James Archuleta U R A Great Singer! :)

  • He is one truly gifted singer, He should've won :/

  • David, you're verry good and professional.

    

  • Oh David, you're voice inspires us all to sing!!!

    His voice is so beautiful and unique!!!! Why he didn't win American Idol is a huge wonder... But he makes Utah (and Murray specifically) PROUD!

    I am totally going to the Stadium of Fire to see him perform. :)

  • brings tears to my eyes everytime i watch this.

  • Jeez he got like perfect pitch

  • I'm in love..

  • The guy at 0:36 got that chills/jumpy feeling. :D

  • the problem with people singing this national anthem is it has so many high notes, and it also ranges back to LOW notes. david should work MORE on low notes. *ehem* he's a guy *ehem*. isn't he? hmmmm.... haha. nice version though.

  • What a heartfelt and "near" perfect performance. Great arrangement and vocals! It makes me proud to be an American.

  • No one sings the NA as well as David Archuleta does!!

  • one of the best versions!

  • david's my inspiration to sing the national anthem for my 8th grade promotion ceremony! that is if i do good on my audition =O

  • I'm not an American but I have to say this made me stand up for it man,...

    this man is a great singer.. and great version...

  • I love you David!

  • Proud To Be An American<3

  • Oh, and by the way, I HATE IT when they try to sing the National Anthem as if it was some stupid ass pop song.....HATE IT!

  • @steppedat Who are you referring to?

  • @2870arvin Christina aguilera...she did this horrible, horrible version of the National Anthem...OMG I hated her so much for it...

  • @steppedat Many other artists overdo it too, but i guess it's their own decision and style. I'm just glad there's still this one guy who keeps it simple yet new to the ears, and pure to the heart. :) No other than the one singing in the video. :D

  • 0:42 I want him to be my husband...or lover if he's already married. lol

  • Amazing vocals

  • One of the best male belter around as i live in the UK I rarely come across good talent accept maybe leona lewis or someone but this is really good

  • This Makes Me Wanna Cry

    Great Job David!

  • simple, yet amazing. Unlike others who overdo it.

  • Chills

  • Amazing

  • David A., you honored America with your magnificent version and rendition of the national anthem. america should honor for you be proud of you.

  • no one can sing the National Anthem better than David archuleta. We are proud of you, Archie!

  • @lwaynemob23

    you reveal yourself by projecting what you are to another person. you are obviously envious of him making condescending remark.

  • WOW! david archuletta needs to sing at the super bowl in 2012!! NFL please consider him to sing it next year!!!

  • beautiful

  • Now THIS is how the National Anthem should be sung !!!!! BRILLIANT !!!! Love DA

  • 23 are not american

  • I like that he doesn't make it about him (ex. Christina A .Super Bowl), but just tries to convey the meaning of the song.

  • Check out David's friend, Charice, singing the national anthem @ the LA Dodgers/SF Giants opening day game, April 2009.

  • calarkie I went and listened to Kris' rendition and I think it's great you feel strongly about it being "by far the best". I'm sure he sang his ass off. But as far as who captured the meaning of the lyrics more successfully or did or didn't oversing is really quite subjective. Likewise, that David sang through his nose is subjective. I don't hear that at all. In the same vein, though I think Kris did a respectable job of it, David's rendition touches my heart the most. That is just my opinion.

  • @jeannedarc55

    The thing is Kris & David are two different singers, so perhaps we shouldn't be comparing them in the first place. But honestly speaking, I liked Kris's singing a little much better than David's. Yes, it's subjective, but IMHO, Kris sounded more passionate and heartfelt. Having said that, I think they did a great job!! Both of them. Their singing is honest and genuine. Opposite to those "too much interpreted twisted version" of the anthem we frequently hear these days!!!

  • @MsRabbit51 Sorry, but David can sing circles around Kris. Although I like Kris a lot, he should not have won AI...He most definitely did not have the best voice, the most talent, or the most showmanship. On the other hand, David A has a really beautiful voice.

  • @jeannedarc55

    And I Just wanted say one more thing. I absolutely loved David's "Imagine" on the American Idol!! I got goose bumps and my eyes were welled up with tears!! I was so upset when he lost the competition to David Cook. I totally think he deserved the title!!! Lastly, English is not my mother tongue so please excuse me if there are any inappropriate/wrong expressions.

  • Thanks God that he's famous.

    that voice is just amazing and unique! my favorite male singer!

  • he is so hottttttt

  • Oh wow! AWESOME vocals! He sings with his heart..love david! :)

  • why couldn't david sing the national anthem at this years super bowl instead of christian agulara? :/

  • Comment removed

  • So heart felt by the lad, it brings tears to my eyes! very good rendition by a male!

  • @MyexgirlFriend837 it was me sorry. you're just too hot

  • He should have done this year's superbowl national anthem:)

  • debk4142 Adam Lambert has amazing vocals w/o a doubt & Clay is pretty good, but just heard one SSB sung by Clay, it was awful, because it was completely oversung. What is wonderful about David Archuleta's rendition of it whenever he sings it, is he shows the utmost respect 4 the song & not showboating like so many who know they can sing, male & female (Christina A). It's not about who is better vocally but who makes u feel the meaning of the song. David is 1 of the best singers of the anthem.

  • @jeannedarc55 I agree with some of your comments. David did a very good job with the SSB but I thought he tried too hard to hit the big notes and sounded like he was singing through his nose. None the less it was good other then the nasal sound. In my honest opinion, Kris Allen's version at the ProBowl was by far the best. He captured the meaning of the lyrics, sang his ass off, and didn't oversing the song.

  • My other favorite patriotic song is davidarchie singing America the Beautiful at the US Open - he really powers it up (and the grand piano down on the field is cool)

  • lol the reporter in the beginning said Honlolo!

  • David is a sweet kid, and he did well, except for changing the notes for effect. This is the best I have heard him, as his voice appeared to be stronger than on Idol. I did vote for him though. There is no way he is the BEST male singer of the anthem though. There are several just as good or better, such as Clay Aiken and Adam Lambert for two.

  • he has such a beauitufl voice...one of my favorite contestants from american idol by far..

  • Archuleta owns this song. He gives it pace, stylish melisma, and triumphant high notes.

  • Don't like his change ups. The National Anthem should be sung straight up.

  • David Archie is the second best singer of the National Anthem. Adam Lambert is the best but David is a close second. One of these two guys should be asked to sing it at all big games. Both have beautiful voices. Listen to Adam singing it at the Miramar Air Force base also. So pretty.

    As David ages a little and gets more stage presence, he can go far. His voice is gorgeous and he doesn't get enough credit.

  • @adamluv1000 Wrong!!!! David is the BEST!! Sorry! 

  • David Archie is the second best singer of the National Anthem. Adam Lambert is the best but David is a close second. One of these two guys should be asked to sing it at all big games. Both have beautiful voices. Listen to Adam singing it at the Miramar Air Force base also. So pretty.

  • I love this on by David!! Take a look at Maddie Wilsons Anthem at the Utah Flash game :)

  • Proud to be American!! btw Hawaii is a beautiful state and David did a great job xD

  • That gave me the good chills XD

  • all i can say is "WOW" i have no other words. that was simply outstanding!

  •  :O As if there's 20 Dislikes

  • :O As if there's 20 Dislikes

  • He sung this wonderfully. More importantly, he gave the song the respect it deserves by the way he sang it. May God bless America. We connect with his soul and spirit. Truly gifted singer.

  • :) beautiful David!

  • David Archuleta is not only a showbiz icon but a national patriotism figure!!!!this only proves that David would sooner or later be one of the biggest national heroes of all time!!!!!!!!!David I'm your biggest fan and i will always be till the end of time...... how i wish i could have the chance to sing with you....i guess by that time ill probably drunk myself to death!!!!!!David oh David you will always be in the heart of the many including me,wilfred pogoy requierME

  • Young David Archuleta sings the national anthem beautifully Your opinion is coming from Bulgaria, mira260. David's singing makes us feel proud to be american.

  • The way David sing the national anthem makes us feel proud to be American. Amazing!

  • @iluf2351

    Absolutely!

  • @iluf2351 Try the song by Chris Daughtry.

  • This should be categorized as "national anthem, david archuleta", You Tube managers. You Tube categorize correctly with Kelly C and Carrie U. why not with David!! So the people clicking on national anthem category would NOT see this video listed in national anthem by David Archuleta. How You Tube treat D.A. is despicable! You Tube is bought and used to slight David Archuleta. A big org using YT to pick on one artist with a great heart and voice. It's a shame how music industry has come to be.

  • Best National Anthem by a male singer!!! chills, goosebumps, so talented, so adorable, amazing !!!

  • @baf0931 No, the best version by male singer is from Marc Anthony :) but that is almost right by him

  • @baf0931

    Totally agreeable!

  • @baf0931 What do you think of the versionof Nick & Simon??

  • @hcctotaal1 De versie van Nick en Simon is ook mooi! Nederland rulez :)

  • favorite person singing the national anthem

  • wow!!!!david.........he's like an angel....

  • Instant goosebumps!!

  • you tube started a new categorizing to each video. This National Anthem is categorized as CHRISTMAS SONG, Another of David's US Open America the Beautiful is categorized as Christmas song, duh. They categorize as National Anthem for OTHER singers like Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. Why is you tube messing up with David's National Anthems? Their other descriptions for each song/video are emotional song, breakup song, or singer's name. david archuleta name isn't in description often like C
