[mnietop]

you are right on the song, but its a Dolly Parton song (written and sung by her), later sung by Whitney Houston as part of the soundtrack for the movie The Bodyguard.

[shmoie73]

To the other commentors,

David cook AND archuleta are amazing,

and there like brothers so if u diss either of them, your dissing the other.

THEYRE BOTH AMAZING! stop flaming cook

[darkangel0895]

[dovebar76]

WTF! Even at 12 he could kill it! This kid got robbed! David is way better than the old dude Cook. Hopefully David A. will get a great record deal and put out some amazing music that will make him shine even more.

[CarolinaGirl316]

this week is dolly parton week, so he HAS to sing a song by a girl. ;] I'm hoping for this one! He has amazing range...definitely the best in this competition!

[yourbestmistake01]

This is a video of him singing to the NYC fire fighters after 9-11. If you ask me, I say he sang it better than Whitney. I bet she couldn't sing it like that when she was his age. :)

[mariowify]

danmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,tha all i got 2 say.

[DaviidArchuleta]

that's even better than whitney houston! hopes he sings this on AI even though its a girl song and everyone is going to complain because a girl sang it , but i don't really care !!

keep archueltaiing

[florxiriod28]

where was this

[loveablehottie]

wow he was really good :)

[ShannonBaybi]

how old is he in this

[stormboy33]

holy god! this is kid is a miracle, and a blessing!

[S0xPRiSoNeR]

OHHH haha when I clicked on this I thought David would be singing a song called "Soft at First but Gets Good"... wow my bad!

[iknowwhereulive9]

lol. haha

[iLoveYouKGN]

haha, same here.

My freind laughed at me.

lol.

[rolloffbed]

oh god, even at such a young age he was amazing!!! that is such a beautiful song and he makes it amazing :)

[thequietinvisibleone]

so much better than Hannah Montana lol

[LilyYurimi]

haha so true. but then again, anyone can be better than her. she's not all that great.

[mijamz]

This is the performance he did at the fire department in NYC at the 1 year memorial of 9/11. This particular firehouse lost I think 15 men.

[vdeclerck]

speechless.

this kid is from heaven.

[BROWNIE2429]

You know, i was thinking something like that; I've been listening to the songs he sings and all of them have a beautiful message and he is so humble and person and kind of divine that I think he is an encarnation of a god.

[daDANCER10]

wow. i have goosebumps :]

[marskatz]

of course he used to sing girls songs.. young boys have the best high range.. the mean feat is he sang DIVA songs at 11 and 12..

i love that voice.. it's so pure.

[MEE051677]

WOW!!! what an amazing kid! and acapella to!

[rainydayx17]

amazing ending

[luqhaqeem]

singing a diva song is no mean feat! only few can nail those songs and david is one of them!!! at such age having the ability to pull out such songs its admirable!

[OHfrigginkay]

Get it, boy. He is so talented! It's almost unnerving.

[kelzfosho]

Gave me chills.

[new2ici]

I can't believe this, so young and so brilliant. I really hope wins the American Idol. This guy was simply born to sing, that's it.

[marian808]

damn...he's goood!!!

[musictvfan]

o man that gives me chills. Love David he's awesome.

[natethegreat920]

why does he always sing diva songs?

[ELOQUENCIA]

he was a little boy. they tend to have higher pitched voices, in case you hadn't noticed. How is Heaven, Imagine and Shop Around a "Diva song"???

[Mike875]

yeah i noticed that toooooo!

i will always love you, and i am telling you, for good, fallin, surrender...those are all pretty diva songs. not a bad thing...i think hes really good...but stilll...

[BROWNIE2429]

but still...what?

[intoatemi]

I kind of want a brownie right now.

[cariocosta]

you are so gay!!!

[xXbOiZ789Xx]

who? david?

[intoatemi]

Well, what did you want me to say? That David Archuleta is simply amazing beyond words, his voice and personality are beautiful and conguent in one another, and that he should be the next American Idol? Lord knows how many countless hours I've spent posting on his videos about how wonderful he is. I wanted a brownie right then because someone's screen name said BROWNIE something. So I posted my concerns about my growling stomach. Is that OK?

[Kanitydane1014]

wow youve got to be kiding me. a young boy cannot SERIOUSLY sing this song! he is AMAZING! i love this kid!

[chaneen81]

OMG he nailed this song so perfectly and in that age and her voice was soooo pure...is he human? lol

[chaneen81]

*his

(lol see i'm momentarily dazed seeing this)

[aguilonmontenegro]

correction...."HIS" voice...

[oliverbabe]

david i love this so much.keep on singing.ilydja.

[iluvjpc]

With tears of joy in my eyes, all I can think is WOW!!! I've never heard a child with so much soul.... If I didn't want to hear all the rest of his performances on this season's AI, I'd say to just give him the win and get it over with!

[Zelinna12]

Holy fuck you have got to be kidding me?

This song is as someone said impossible to do justice to & this kid just sang it so freaking amazing I cannot believe my ears!

[jrmmf]

Dude,this song is practically impossible to sing, and he does a pretty good job at this young age!

[qwanellz123]

WOW what a wonderful voice! I love you babii!

[rightsaidcat]

omg this is when he sang for the firefighters

because of 9/11!

oh man he was sooo good!

[iluvm3lol]

PIXELLY! lol daaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnng! hes freakin GOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

[YukieNakayama]

[kedisbrow]

This is before his vocal problem. He is pretty much recovered now. What a talent!

[pie67888]

"i will always love you" david! it has never sounded so good when a guy, a kid really, sings it!

[xLeo16]

Oh wow.....5* definitely!

[Kilerleo]

No way he could not strive for the top, he may be the second legend-Billy Guilman, thanks GOD for having created them

[Meven2001]

He is so strong in singing ! wow !

[kedisbrow]

I think he is 11 or 12 years old here. What an amazing talent!

[msm0420]

wow.....my jaw just dropped literally in amazement of how perfect he kills the notes in this song.......THAT is a hard song to sing, Whitney and Dolly have some competition :P

[KittyVP]

they definitely have some competition for real. id like him to sing this song on american idol. he'll put everyone to tears.

[nascarkraz]

holy smokes! Where was this? Great audio but hard to tell what event that is. Wow!

[kenteee]

DAMMMMMMMMMMN!!! He nailed the ending just like Whitney! He's my favorite Idol of all time!!!!!!!!!

[ElegantBaby12]

is this before or after he had vocal problems? because this proves that he really recovered. his performances now does too.

[JPhillippeMusic]
