I remember the night of the finale. I was chilling at home with my friends waiting for the results, we were ALL expecting this ravishing young man to win......and to our unfortunate surprise when he didnt, we were all literally speechless for the rest of the night! I had to cry myself to sleep! But its ok, I mean, he dsnt seem to be bothered that he didnt win, then y the hell should I? Im happy for u David, and I'll always be so proud of u and I'll always be ur #1 fan! xoxo
still the best A1 finalist for me...can't stop coming back watching all his performance..he's the best.. pls.. comeback to the music scene david we need clean song now a days..
2019, still coming back to visit this performance. David archuleta should have won American idol. One of the reasons why I do not watch American idol today.
I often wonder if David believes he can sing the song again I do the way he sang the song it was amazing it is amazing David Archuleta love the way you sing the song truly we love it thank you. Voice the song amazing just suggesting maybe one day you can just sing it👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😊
The sad thing is,this season was the beginning of the end of American idol because this season showed how,rigged American idol was and the season Adam lambhert lost finished it off
I like David Cook, but David Archuleta should have won. He was the best singer on the show. As usual the girls voted for the boy next door instead of the best performer.
no, he wasn't the best singer. He's incredible now, but he didn't have the technique that Cook did. He's got a beautiful voice, always has, but he wasn't "fully baked" yet. If you listen to the top 24, Archuleta's voice is entirely in the back of his mouth, which works for a short time but eventually tires you out, and isn't good for your throat or soft pallete. Cook, meanwhile, sounds a lot like some Broadway singers, like Norbert Leo Butz, in that his voice is much further forward, and allows him to project without straining his throat, and he's figured out how to get the "gravelly" sound that often accompanies strain, without the actual strain. Also, any time a singer has to put an "h" sound before a vowel, like "ohohohohoh' in riffs, it's a sign of lack of breath support, and Archuleta uses them all over the place, especially in his "Imagine" performance. His high notes were unsupported, and most of his sustained notes lost juice at the end, since he couldn't sustain them. Basically, Archuleta had talent without any idea how to make it his own, and Cook may not have been as talented, but he knew how to use it and stylize his voice. At the time Cook was the better singer. But I've just seen Archuleta live and he is incredible now, he learned everything he was lacking before. For example, his "Another Day in Paradise," he hit all the notes but a lot of them were unsteady, and when I saw him he sang "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me," and had one of the most steady voices I've ever heard, like Broadway caliber.
This is One of the best versions I Have Ever Heard I've See Other Contestants from the Other Seasons doing This Song But with David Archuleta made this song if it was written for him I've Seen Bo Bice Doing This Song Jasmine Trias And Pia Toscano David did it better than The Original
i'm a big fan of David Archuleta. He is my favorite from the beginning. But i cant agree with you. Deaf?? Seriously, David Cook is a great singer too and he also deserves to win. and he won.
I think this show would have been better ad lasted if you could only vote once and they had to sing the same song in the end so it would be easier for most people to actually pick the best singer.
I know even he had some high notes and low but he still can sing anything I just never knew he was into singing never told me long time ago I guess it’s something probably I haven’t known yet David cook was just magcaninal meaning as first time newbie
I think it wasn't a justified outcome. David Archuleta is way better..Come he received more accolades from the crowds then David Cook. I'd pay to see David Archuleta perform. I lived 30 miles from where David Cook was from. I still voted for the amazing talented David Archuleta!! Would vote for him again!! Fabulous voice..
David I notice that you don't feel very confident about yourself, but just look at all your followers you have thousands of people following you because we believe in you. your were born to be a superstar and you are shinning like a supernova I believe in you.
He’s an angel.
Watching in 2020. Who’s with me?
2021 and still one of my favorites! Sad to see that he didn't go further.
2023!
2024 ❤

A brilliant performance. David Archuleta is absolutely the best singer in American Idol history.
Never, never, never stop singing - this is your gift David and a treat for all to hear
David A is such a lovable human. So charming.
Did anybody ever win singing this song? It was always second place. He was doomed. David Archuleta will always be the American Idol to me.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MAN, WHAT A VOICE. SO HUMBLE AND SO TALENTED.
One of the best singer in the world, very very nice voice

I remember way back that time, when even in Philippines everyone was watching and rooting for David Archuleta.
this is still the best version of this song i have ever heard
David archuleta should make an album of all good songs with his voice. His voice sounds magical when he sings those hit songs.
Of course he's the real winner, with music, personality, humble self, such a real soul, voice of an angel.
Next to Clay Aiken,David Archuletta is the best American Idol singer ever on the show.I love both of their singing voices.
The BEST! still listen to it today!
UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS, nobody will ever sing that song like David
I'm so sad he didn't win:( he is adorable and I so think he deserved first place

It's insulating to receive the Idol's Winner title, if David Archuleta is a Life's Winner, a true gift from the Lord to this world.

DA2014!!!!!
Simon, Randy and Paula the Original team with Ryan. Love the last name. Sea....Crest!
goosebumps :D who still watching this in 2012 ?? xD
This is One of the best versions I Have Ever Heard I've See Other Contestants from the Other Seasons doing This Song But with David Archuleta made this song if it was written for him I've Seen Bo Bice Doing This Song Jasmine Trias And Pia Toscano David did it better than The Original
Megusta😮
I remember this...it was the year of AI when the viewers went deaf :/ how the hell was this 2nd place..ridiculous
i'm a big fan of David Archuleta. He is my favorite from the beginning. But i cant agree with you. Deaf?? Seriously, David Cook is a great singer too and he also deserves to win. and he won.
I thought Archuleta was alot better than Cook. Cook was just alright but he did some decent songs and made them his own but it got boring
exactly😑
I think this show would have been better ad lasted if you could only vote once and they had to sing the same song in the end so it would be easier for most people to actually pick the best singer.
Lisa Marie yeah, i felt like he should have won it.
I know even he had some high notes and low but he still can sing anything I just never knew he was into singing never told me long time ago I guess it’s something probably I haven’t known yet David cook was just magcaninal meaning as first time newbie
I think it wasn't a justified outcome. David Archuleta is way better..Come he received more accolades from the crowds then David Cook. I'd pay to see David Archuleta perform.

David I notice that you don't feel very confident about yourself, but just look at all your followers you have thousands of people following you because we believe in you. your were born to be a superstar and you are shinning like a supernova I believe in you.
Who remembers him from Star Search
The number on this title made me laugh
NUNCA VOY A ENTENDER X Q NO GANO,ES COMO ACA EN ARGENTINA NUNCA GANA EL MEJOR INTERPRETE ,SI LOS JUECES ELIGIERAN HUBIERA GANADO ARCHULETA.
#DA2014
Looking back I am so sure he wouldn’t have done as well if he won
Even Simon can’t be negative. Wow.
Does anybody else miss the days of nautical star tattoos?? I do.
omg.... *crys* he NEEDED to win! Still now, i feel like david is still more famous than cook.
Tough song to sing. Eltons voice is so hard to compete with
