David Archuleta - Don't Let the Sun Go Down (Studio "Remix")

The iTunes versions of the Finale performances were available only for a couple nights, and David's voice came out much more clearly in them than in the television broadcast.

This is the iTunes audio mixed in with the video. Enjoy!

Stephanie Lysagt of the Los Angeles Times wrote this about this performance:

"About 30 seconds into Archuleta's performance of Elton John and Bernie Taupin's "Dont Let the Sun Go Down on Me," the audience at the Nokia experienced a collective "a-ha" moment. A-ha! So, that's how it's supposed to be done.

"Archuleta has always been more comfortable tucked safely behind his piano -- or at least standing stationary - than strutting across the stage. But Archuleta wouldnt let his awkward gait inhibit him tonight; he stood up and charged toward the audience as he implored, "Don't let the sun go down on me." He winced, he fumed, he begged, he pleaded; he allowed his pure and gentle voice fill with gravel, and he pumped his fist in defiance. He was awkward and desperate and furious and needy and bold; and finally, something became very clear.

"All this time, America has gotten it wrong. We have cast Cook as the reckless rocker and Archuleta as the safe, shrink-wrapped Disney dream boy, when in reality, Archuleta is the fearless one. Archuleta is the one who attempted - and failed miserably - at Chris Brown's "With You," gyrating with gleeful awkwardness as he sang about his "little mama." Archuleta is the one letting it all hang out."
