David Archuleta sings Imagine on American Idol, Top 9 Show Results, April 7, 2010 HD

[fpinto2]

I love David's rendition and so did Yoko Ono. Some of you act like Lennon was your daddy or something. lol

@samisam911 Awwww, thanks(:

[nazalea27]

best moment of the season

[wisherdreamerperson]

It's sad that there's fighting over the cover of this song... Listen to the lyrics guys! :D

[bop2datop11]

I.....................died

[deacon958]

not the beatles just john lennon stupid

[hrabrent]

Wow!

Archuleta really is a good singer...

{(^_^)}

[imanawesomellama]

you guys STOP FIGHTING. Okay so once John Lennon sang it, no one else could sing it? It's all his? David could sing whatever he wants, and he just so happen to sing this beautifully. So stop critisizing David, if you don't like the way he sings this song, don't comment. And on your free time, go suck some David Cook balls. Kay? -_________-

[NickelbackBeatles1]

he sings it all wrong!!!!! it's john's song!! can he not do something else. John lennon truly-meaning from his heart- sang this song and wrote it...

[mariofan4523]

@NickelbackBeatles1 Oh, excuse me. Is there a patent on it precluding any other singers to cover it?

[maraquita101]

@NickelbackBeatles1 Get over it. David can sing it too. Doesn't matter. Quit bein a freakn hater and if you don't like it, here's a wacky idea, DON'T WATCH THE VIDEO. Don't start fighting with me, cause you will LOSE.

[samisam911]

@maraquita101 you sound like a 10 year old

[babygirl75078]

just perfect nuff said.

[felicia12399]

i love it

[hoho428]

there were so many covers on this song, but never did touch our hearts. And this, David touches our heart just like John did.

[mariofan4523]

Five times better than Lennon's version -- just my opinion, folks!!!

[NickelbackBeatles1]

@mariofan4523 come on better than Lennon's get a life idiots. JOHN LENNON WAS A FLIPPING SPECTACULAR SINGER. this idiiot tries to hard. john lennon forever... the beatles rock

[oretexman]

this guy is truly gifted.if i knew him before this and was his friend i would be so proud of him.i hope he stays the way he was on idol as he was such a true person.he is si young and i know we havent seen the best yet.looking forward to that david.you made me proud so i can just imagine how your parents feel.

[gh3legohero]

This is a disgrace to john lennon, he was the only one who could sing this with one meaning and intention he didn't sing it for publicity reasons, this is a song meant to come from from the heart, this jack*** makes a fool out of the original piece of art, and whenever Lennon finished playing this song, do you think he was smiling and laughing? NO! he was sad since he wrote this for one reason that came straight from the heart to give people hope and no one understands, i may be drunk, so what?

[mariofan4523]

@gh3legohero Who are you to say David didn't sing this with meaning and intention too? Are you some kinda psychic mind reader of David's every intention behind the songs he sings? I think Lennon would be proud of David's courage to even come out in front of the whole world and put every bit of heartfelt emotion into this song as John did. Give the kid a break. He's competing on a talent show, trying to jumpstart his career at only 16 years of age. This is even better than Lennon's version.

[cupcakelover349]

BEAUTIFUL cute!

[SallyRingstone]

David Archuleta has an angel's voice. He can really touch our heart.

[LTDJA]

The way You Tube does placement/no placement of D.A.'s videos are examples of how unfairly they manipulate to maintain low profile for David Archuleta's popularity. They viciously remove the facts from YT (98,000 views, 76,000 views and 57,000 views) of David's return to AI on Beatles week. It's the most blatant don't care attitude of ai prod/fox exec. in the musical industry. Power control to hide the popularity of David Archuleta is a stupid and dishonest game. Treat contestants better.

[bieberboy316]

the top 9 were all like crap he made us look like shit. and perfect, as usual (:

[charisseLMB]

one thing about david...his hairstlyes is always great...just so perfect!!!!!and the way he wears clothes wew!heheheh......dang!he's so neat...love him

[disneyrox18]

david is so  amazing thumbs up

[caser1210]

Exception is Dancing with the Stars show on ABC. The show provides plenty of support to the contestants, the voting is genuine and honest, they go by what the viewers vote, no hidden goals to manipulate. AI show states voters have the say so but prods manipulate to get their choice chosen by the voters to move ahead, and when voters don't follow their direction, they'll promote who they want, and discredit others on the show and YT placements. Prods have no care for the contestants, sad...

[caser1210]

Somebody can write an interesting book about reality shows and background network happenings, such as american idol show, dancing with the stars, biggest losers, and more reality shows. You'll be amazed at the backstabbing, manipulating going-ons producers are willing to do for the ratings. Lack of support for past ai contestants are horrible. They'll step on Kelly, Carrie, Archie, and other contestants to suit their ego needs. Evidence is in YT placements and

[cuceritorul1]

what did david win? i mean american idol... or america's got talent?

[Tokyomewmew626]

always a sweetheart <3

[caser1210]

Why are so many Archuleta's higher view videos yanked out and disappear? It seems 15,000 views are okay to display but 78,000 views and 59,000 views are not. This is a PATTERN for the past two years on YT (paid by AI prods). It seems they are trying to discredit David's popularity, with underhanded cheating. Yes it's cheating to remove high videos for their #%& gains, They got the money so they'll discriminate to fit their gain. Boomrang, it'll back fire on them. David will continue to be pop

[mustangmom27]

@caser1210 I noticed the same thing. Where's his big view videos?

[baf0931]

Why is AI show going down in ratings? Fox/ai prod ALLOW people to vote each week for the ratings, but they will promote who THEY want irregardless of judges choice or the people's. The credibility of the show is bunkers, the finale was 8 million viewers down from season 7 and 8.Stop bad treatment of past contestants. stop the arrogance.

[baf0931]

What's with Fox/ai prod/YT. So into power controlling ego trip, they remove/displace true views of Archuleta videos. They are distorting the truth (removing and shoving aside high view videos). They use to have David's Imagine April 7, 2010 guest performance that had 79,000 views and 57,000 views and when they increased fast, they have disappeared. They kept the low view count ones for their ego trip. But David is more popular than ever. David's star will keep on shining.

[fabulousa899]

I love DAVID ARCHULETA (:

[flowerpod]

Wow. That boy really.. I mean, wow. John Lennon would be jealous were he alive..

[nerfplayboy12345]

he looks younger.

[cupcakelover349]

@nerfplayboy12345 you got that right

[Cookielover415]

wow hes good good

[damienreturns]

Good performance, hopefully he will include this cover in one of his future albums.

[caser1210]

what happened to 78,000 views and 59,000 views videos of April 7, 2010 guest appearance of David Archuleta? Why do YT hide higher view videos of D.A.?

It's AI prod/Fox way to control Archuleta's popularity in U.S. and internationally. Fox/Ai show has lost its credibility. They do not show respect or fairness to past contestants in the show and thru YT.

What's sad is they don't care to re-gain respect, they'll keep using bully tactic over fairness to increase ratings.

[murasakirain]

David, so pure and so true to what you believe...you will always be my Angel...

[baf0931]

When you finish watching David Archuleta's videos and sign out, you are brought to the front page of You Tube. There are several videos Recommended to You 'cause you watched David Archuleta, and this 12,000 view of Imagine is one at the bottom row next to higher view videos of other unrelated videos. Ai prod thru YT is clearly trying to undermine Archuleta's popularity with low view counts. Sad they're doing the manipulating over 2 years, sure admission of rigging the show and beyond. Sad

[cueritoercd]

increible david archuleta

[emowiis]

i luv da song nd he sing it PERFECTLY!!

[silverbubbles57]

i like lennon's version but i like how david kept it nice and sang so beautifully (if beautifully is a word) he didn't change it unlike that guy who won season 9 lee he completely murdered hey jude idk if i'll ever be able to listen to hey jude without imaging a guy with bag pipes in the background

[DavidFan7]

i think he wuz also on today on the finals

[widahk]

he's amazingly talented and heavenly cute... luv u, david

[LupinDa3rd]

I don't know why, but to me Lennon did it best cause I believe everyone seems to treat it as a song while he sounded more as if he was just thinking aloud imagining everything as he played the song. But that aside this guy did a great if not one of the best covers of imagine i have ever heard. Didn't do that Bs where they try to jazz it up and 'make it their own'

[HsmTsl85]

I love it!

[MultiVirusdetected]

i love his new hairstyle.. cute.. this is one of the song that i love when he sing it on idol.. other is angel n in this moment.. he sing like an angel..

[baf0931]

I remember him saying he's working on writing and recording.

I'm looking forward to his next cd pop album and a single.

I loved his Christmas album.

I already pre-ordered his memoir book thru Amazon.

It's coming out June 1.

David is talented and awesome.

[karengracedivina]

do david have new music video this 2010...im waiting for it.....=((((

[stonelover100]

hahah !! hoow !!! it was so amazing !!

[shoesluvr65]

LOVE him AND this SONG!! ♫ ;)

[294rockstar]

I love David. I love when he sings this song. I also really like his hair.

[hollistergirlie13]

he is so cute with his hair like that i love him

[Songbird07151988]

This is why he was not supposed to win. He has perfected his voice since the show and honestly, my boyfriend and I were shocked this results night, when he sang that. I wasn't a HUGE fan of his when he was on Idol, but I possibly am now.

[cherryblossom426]

I can't help but smile whenever I see him.... =)

[ArchCaRxXX]

This is definitely the reason why David Archuleta will always be my favorite singer/ artist. A great role model, a powerful and inspirational voice, good looks, superb musical talent. What more can you ask for??

[Amber1313lol]

did he win

[ArchCaRxXX]

@Amber1313lol 1st runner up. David Cook was the American idol last season 7.

[Amber1313lol]

@ArchCaRxXX this says 2010 this year did he win this year and da i know he was runner up

[TwilightEdwardBella1]

gosh I love this guy! He has great looks, talents, smarts, and a great personality!! :) Can't wait for his new CD!!!

[pureedee]

This kid gets better and better everytime he sings! LOVE HIM SO DAMN MUCH! Lol

[Star1anasuya]

OMG, i LOVE him! it's SUCH a gorgeous version! <3

[mincemeatnme]

that was god damn gorgeous. i was having goosebumps all the way through.

[sarmis0]

He's amazing singer! this is so good, wow :)

[sleepinblue41]

wow lovin' his voice

it's so effortlessly soothing

I wish he gets even more famous then he is now

[davidarchuleta096]

this is definitely the best performance on american idol. david has such a striking, beautiful, powerful voice. what people don't realize is that he's worked his whole life for this. when he was twelve years old, he was on another star competition. he won in his division. he has worked so hard for his career, unlike justin bieber, who just got everything handed to him. do you guys hear how his voice sounds live? that proves that he really does have a good voice. he sounds amazing. (: <3 bravo.

[iluf2351]

Why is this video so slow to load up? Trying to discourage viewing?

David's performance is awesome.

Nothing flashy, electro technic, showy dancers - just David and piano, singing with soulful passion.

[indecisiverice]

Ahh~ gotta love this guy! 8D

[markandlexie4ever]

OMG...I LOVE THIS KID!

[superskittls529]

i get chills from listening to this

[avoice4Christ]

His voice still steals my breath away everytime!! Just sayin. Uh, can't wait for his new album!!

[standbydavid]

the best performance ever on American Idol...I love David!! so proud of him!!

[aliceakanewg]

best performance by an artist on american idol so far ;)

[jooodlez]

beautifully amazing. tugs on your heartstrings like no one else.

[wrigsmom]

David never ever fails to take my breath away. Goodness, I can't stop the tears...he always does this to me.

[Cookielover415]

@wrigsmom

true true

[charisseLMB]

@wrigsmom ur truly ryt!dang

[KidChosenPF]

@wrigsmom Tears? That's stupid.

[mustangmom27]

@KidChosenPF That's what she said, stupid. You're the stupid one to even make the stupid comment, stupid.

[KidChosenPF]

@mustangmom27 Wide range of vocabulary, honey.

[mustangmom27]

@mustangmom27 F=LOL I don't usually use that word, especially when it relates to this video. I was simply speaking in your "stupid" language.

[Katie32096]

Wow what can I say???

[lvu16]

chills

[fabuloussamantha05]

That took my breath away!!!

I loved it!

And I love him.

[breena15]

I LOVE HIM!!!! ♥

[ArchieRox4ever]

Ich liebe das!! Ich liebe David Archuleta und Tokio Hotel fur immer und immer!!

[irishmamak]

If you think this was beautiful youtube the ALMA awards with David Archuletaa singing...blew me away

[irishmamak]

This was a great video..thanks...more people should watch this one..very clear. David was ofcourse haunting in this rendition. grabbed me..they should have opened with him or closed with him...cause putting him inbetween such high energy singers..wigged me out. But the song was incredible. love him.

[Sakura52296]

@irishmamak - I think it's because they didn't want to chance the viewers memory

of this prodigious performance that would take away from the contestants. If that's

the case it won't work. He's too unforgettable.

[izmommy]

He Was Amazing!!

[benjy0511]

thanks. he is sooo cute. :)
