David Archuleta - US Open - America The Beautiful

[LittleSnowDancer02]

Since everybody's commented on his beautiful singing, I want to comment on his forehead...it is beautiful!

[loveAARforever]

I love the kind of clarity and sincerity of his voice whenever he sings. He beautifully communicates the meaning and purpose of the songs and doesn't try to show off his singing abilities for the sake of doing so. He skillfully lends his voice to the songs to give the music and lyrics the recognition they deserve. David is truly an amazing artist

[Zelinna12]

GREATEST version of this song EVER, no one else comes close, best ever, hands down, nothing more to say......he is truly a gift!

[1988dhw]

@Zelinna12 you are absolutely right i love the echo of the outside performance

[nicoleta090281]

i keep listening to this even though I'm not american.... gosh... and now i know this anthem more than ours (funny).... and it's because of you david ... LOL :)

love you philippines....

[bugz2grrl]

his voice is such an angel OMG!

[stigmatic79]

How is it that an 18 year old doesn't forget the words to an american song, but yet a someone thats been singing professional for over 8 years does hint cristina?

[BPoudrier]

Nothing Compares 2 U David

[jodi1fan]

why has the US 2 anthems???

[blueblue101]

@jodi1fan cus we're that GANGSTA

[Ardy6048]

Definitely phenomenal vocal performance and arrangement ..... soulful, spiritual, and very appropriately delivered rendition of this patriotic ballad. David does himself, his fans, and most importantly this country proud once again. Bravo!

[teamjacobgirl96]

I had tears when i heard David singing this song. He made the song sound so beautiful. I love his voise,smile and eyes .

[minnie092407]

One of the most beautiful rendition of this song I have ever heard^^!

[amadsx]

DAvid I love you and Iove your voice is so amazing..!

[qtelia]

This was so good. It is my favorite patriotic performance ever. David's pure voice with a grand piano. Nothing could be better.

[iadorearchie]

At this point in time, no one can sing better than Archie's version and rendition of this song. His voice is exceptionally beyond amazing. He sends chills to listeners by the emotion conveyed in his vocals. He sings with sincere feelings outpouring to his audience.

[1988dhw]

@iadorearchie Amen

[Zelinna12]

Who the HELL could dislike this???? I mean seriously people ya need help!

[warsipin]

love you david archie

[oneonetwosix1126]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[jstsyn]

Anyone who knows about voice and singing...Is there a "method", way or whatever that David is doing here to bring out that deliciously textured sound come out of him?  Something about the sound of his voice in this performance that's got me so addicted to it!

[jamesdensleymusic]

@jstsyn his vocal method that he has been taught to use is known as Speech Level Singing or SLS, developed by a man named Seth Riggs who has worked with artists such as Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson, it's a great technique im learning it right now

[oneonetwosix1126]

@jamesdensleymusic Too bad it didn't work with Stevie Wonder or Michael Jackson.

[Zelinna12]

@oneonetwosix1126 LMAO so true!

[jstsyn]

That VOICE!!!!!!!!

I just LOVE it!!!!!!

[kenny8076]

wow nice quality, wish more youtube videos were posted this way.................. good song too

[Basandar43]

David A. is the best one to sing this song. His voice is just perfect to sing patriotic songs. He gave a special touch to the song and the tone of his voice is just beyond amazing. How wonderful his voice be when he is 25? With only 1 vocal cord work properly he is able to deliver this such beautiful, powerful voice, how will it sound if he has both vocal cords work properly?

[baf0931]

He has the unique artistry to touch our hearts and souls through his singing.

[1969Ria]

Listening to this gave me goose bumps! He has a great voice and sang this song beautifully!

[NotSoPerfectWizard]

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

[jouyluckclub]

David is unbelievable! I loved this performance then and I love it now!

[fpinto2]

Wow. Six people had the absence of heart to click thumbs down? Unbelievable.

[MrFreestyleprince]

yeah good song people

[abeleejames]

David's renditions are usually getting better when he sings because he uses dramatic effects as songs go on, and at last, the climax. Hey, he has sung patriotic songs since very little. One for 9/11 firefighters, that's very moving. The best patriotic song singer in my book!

[missmainou]

wow...i love the ending!!!!!!!!!

[collegemom12]

wow I love his voice. This song, especially from 1:45 onward when he starts gradually powering it up is something that I just want on repeat on my ipod!

[kalakalachuchu]

i like the mic sounds good and david's voice is unbelievable

[jstsyn]

Love those Marines!  God bless the USA!

[jnryfn]

OMG David was awesome!!! Way to go David..I am very impressed..he is so underrated!!

[LoveLyricalRideX]

I Love This National Anthem "America The Beautiful" ^_^

[megababybear19]

beautiful job :)

[jstsyn]

[skydancer1x]

David never disappoints when it comes to patriotic songs.No wonder he is asked to perform the National Anthem, or God Bless America, time and time again!! People can count on him to sing these songs beautifully EVERYTIME!

[redbearization]

@skydancer1x

DON'T LET THIS TRAGEDY TO HAPPEN! -

watch?v=vjS0Novt3X4

[collegemom12]

The combination of Archuleta's tremendous voice with his emotional musical depth and the great piano playing that is backing him up (Rick Hip-Flores) makes this an outstanding video!

[loomonda18]

[jstsyn]

He's a rare gem. Too bad too many still don't see that. Or that may not be such a bad thing. Treasures are best kept without overexposure.

[emily4bowersox]

They finally introduced David as 'from Jive Records' and not 'American Season 7 Runner-up' haha :)

[grapeexmagoo]

I love that man at about 1:01 that you could see said "He's good" . This was so amazing, I can't believe I almost forgot about it!

That part at about 1:48 is amazing. 2:35 and on was just chills.

[SilverStarflite]

He is the best best best new singer in a long time....rather than the rap crap our youth craves

[simplename80]

who doesnt swoon after watching this?omgosh this is. fabulous. gosh

[hakkamui14]

[lifes1hellofaride78]

talented is not enough for what david is he's truly beyond that!!!

[passittowill]

he needs a haircut

[collegemom12]

I love this video. For some reason I especially love from 1:46-2:01 - something about the tone in his voice. I also really like when the pianist (Rick Hip-Flores and Archuleta power-it-up around starting around 2:28 to the end - you can tell that guy has played piano on Broadway!

[judieann57]

I have to watch this video at least once a week....what a beautiful voice...

[joyfl12]

Please pray for America. Its very foundation is being eroded with theConstitution itself getting trampled and ripped to pieces last Sunday night.

[emmylou19842000]

he sings so beautifully,, i was in crowd during the final game where clijsters won the US Open. I was able to shake hands with David.

[joyfl12]

America the Beautiful-let's keep it that way.

David is awesome and so, so talented. This was a truly great performance. If you haven't seen him sing "Contigo En La Distancia" on the ALMA awards, do yourself a favor and watch it too! Another absolutely beautiful performance - and in perfect Spanish no less! David we love you! You rock!

[johnboyjwg]

So Talented.

[sinatrarchuleta]

he is a cute guy and very talented.

[jstsyn]

They should drop the "american idol" thing already. David stands on his own now and is riding on pure talent. Well the announcer does just that at the end: "Ladies and gentlemen: DAVID ARCHULETA!!!"

[sjs1228]

I totally agree with you Zelinna12. David is the greatest young male singing talent we have seen in a long time. Nobody compares!

[WebScribes]

@^:^@ David . . W0W

So0O0o beautiful.

[domo19192]

[iluf2351]

Listening to his voice, wow, so majestic and glorious. He's one of a kind.

[Zelinna12]

Omg I love this boy he is just glorious & sooooo special.

His voice has the greatest "texture" to it I have ever heard he never screams or sounds high pitched, only perfect.

[1970sGirl]

Absolute PERFECTION. Loved David the second he appeared on Idol. He is humble, adorable, way beyond talented, a role model to young people. He didn't need to "win" Idol to be a winner in every sense of the word.

[TFTfreak22]

*sigh* hes not coming to Chicago in his Christmas tour;(

[jvsupergirl09]

His voice is beautiful and amazing...i've never heard a voice this incredible before and everytime he sings...it melts my heart

[iluf2351]

David sing this song so majestically. Visual and vocal of David is stunning. Makes me proud of being an American.

David's first Christmas album is coming to the stores tomorrow, Tuesday. Great for gifts. Support David. Buy and give as gifts to friends, family and relatives.

[hbdelux]

Wow that was absolutely amazing! David Archuleta is awesome. He is a winner. He proves it everytime he sings.

[caser1210]

I love the way marines unfold and expand the beautiful flag coordinating with David's inspiring singing of American the Beautiful. It makes one feel proud of what the flag stand for and David sang so majestically for America.

Where is your public service spirit ? !!!!!!!!!

[caser1210]

This U.S. Open America the Beautiful and Contigo En La Distancia at the 2009 ALMA Awards on Sept 18 were the most recent performances of David Archuleta.

You Tube, PUT THIS VIDEO BACK ON THE FRONT PAGE!!!

[mrsmet05]

you ntube put this back on the front page!

[ariespatty1]

Amazing and Beutiful!!!! He is the Best!!!!!!!

[SkylerAnne2012]

My future hubby :) Accoring to my mother anyway. Haha

[davidcookfangirl]

Archie is just an amazing singer. He's always amazed me everytime he sings. Sometimes he even brings me to tears of joy! I love him very much! He's giving me the goosebumps right now. I think i'm in heaven... =D

[joyfl12]

What's the big deal about David's "breathing"? It does not make his singing any less beautiful. I love hearing him breathe.

[fdapproved16]

me too......amazing voice...

[jstsyn]

You Tube...PUT THIS BACK ON THE FRONT PAGE!!!

[iluf2351]

I'm sad that YouTub- continue to shove down past AI contestant that has made a mark in this music world and is a rising star. And angry at Fox/Prod for directing YouTub- to manipulate David's popular videos and remove his high view counts. It wasn't done for Archuleta's benefit. YouTub_ is only doing it 'cause they are paid to do so. Fox/Prod should stop this unfair practice of shabby treatment of AI contestant who has become successful. Media should study YouTub- and the method of omission.

[romanianlover123]

:o That was AWESOME! He is sooo great, as always! I cant help but think "Archie the Beaautifuuuuul....!" haha

[missCHIA]

Amazing. <3

[LTDJA]

Now Fox/Prod, stop messing with David Archuleta's popular videos.  Put this America the Beautiful video to the first page of Archuleta's site listing. Also bring David performing Contigo En La Distancia at ALMA awards back to the first page. Fox/Prod/You Tub - need to stop this bad behavior of manipulating David's recent popular videos and removing them from the first page.

[Fairangel13]

Okay, he's coming out with A Christmas Album, now he needs to do a Spanish album and I think he needs to do a Patriotic Album! That would be so cool!! lets not forget a R&B album and a releigious Album!So versatile! best artist to come out in a long long time!

[lightacandle5]

Wow! David is really making his mark in the world! He's had successful concert tours, has sung the National Anthem and other patriotic songs at several venues, and has recently won an ALMA award! Those of us who love David always knew he was destined for superstardom! David's talent and humble spirit make him so worthy of all of his success!!!

[sallybw13]

David's voice fills the stadium and the hearts of those who are open that listen!! Such power. . . such emotion. . . such pride!!!! BRAVO. . . BRAVO!!!!!

[fpinto2]

I don't know why people always mention David's breathing. I hear other singers do the same thing. And he can already sing circles around 98 percent of the singers I'm hearing on the radio today. And I'm being generous with that figure. lol

[jstsyn]

Ladies and gentlemen...DAVID ARCHULETA!!!

[iluf2351]

His awesome singing of America the Beautiful made me feel proud to be American. thanks for the vid.

[linguistmuz]

This performance is simply amazing! The only thing I can remark is that they could have come up with a piano accompaniment that fits David's soulful style of singing better.

I hope this gig will get him somewhere...

[feragca]

This is a great thing he's done!

[simpleplangrl18]

wow there really is NO ONE better then David!! he does such an amazing job!

[AIfan18]

sonnyboa -go watch Demi Lavato singing the National Anthem. You can also hear her taking breaths. It may be a musical no no, but it is still done by many artists.

[KarlitaaDavidArchi]

OKay, it HATE it when people aree always hating on David.

If you dont likee how he sings finee. But dont comee here saying all this bull shit about him not singing well. Just dont see his vidoes and period.

iloveyou David Archuletaa.
