Riffing does not equal talent. This is more an objection to American Idol as a show and not to David Archuleta as a performer. The kid is good, but there's just so much more that could be done.

He has a very good voice. But Billy Joel can't be beat.

Josh Ramsay's/Marianas Trench's Was Way Better!! They Put More Into It.. It's Less.... Boring... :) True Story!

I love the Marianas Trench version of this- love Marianas Trench!!!!

@daigne I'm not feeling it. Maybe it's because I'm comparing it to the original by Billy Joel.

@KrfNYC2 what if you try closing your eyes and listen again. I felt it.

I'm not being bias becuase I think that Billy Joel is a legendary musician and I haven't seen any indication that David Archuletta can do anything but sing...but I don't like this. It seems like he just read the lyrics and decided to sing them. What I mean is, his tone doesn't fit the song. Billy performed these absolutely gorgeous lyrics with a very quiet and sincere character to his voice and it worked beautifully. I'm not getting any emotion here. Sorry. Just my humble thoughts.
One of the best rendition of all time So It Goes who could ever think a 17 years old can do such beautiful interpretation - This kid is completely gifted. He will be definitely in the musicbiz for a long long time.

i agree. that song is a very hard song to sing, considering less musical instruments in the background, one little mistake can ruin the whole performance, but it worked. yeah and simon saying that its "predictable". what do u want him to do? jump around and run to make it "unpredictable". lol... overall a very good performance, just wait when this kid grows up a bit as a musical artist, he will be more amazing... considering he is already amazing at that young age.
