Teenage girls voted for Cook because they had a crush on him. Cook was not a better singer than David A. David Archuleta was far superior than Cook. Now go on Cook's videos and fawn on him. Leave David Archuleta alone.
I still think to this day that he has one of the most beautiful voices to ever be on American Idol. It's a shame he lost to Cook.. Archuleta was head over heals better than Cook in every aspect. But I guess that's how American Idol has always been.. almost every year the best singer comes in second for some reason.. Also why I stopped watching the show.
+xxladybug94 Pia Toscano was the best vocally of season 10, but she had no stage presence. Scotty was a good singer, he wasn't amazing like Pia and he had no stage presence. If I were to pick the finale for Season 10 it would be Haley Reinhart and James Durbin.
#2 was the right spot for him because he never liked all the attention. There could be no doubt he was the BEST singer that show ever saw and the best person!
@1HuskyFire agreed I didn't get to have dinner with him but I was fortunate enough to meet him at this concert at a meet in greet in pa and he truly is a sweet genuine soul.
Plus even Simon was always complementing his performances , and Simon hardly ever did that unless he knew the person could actually sing like really good.
He didn't need the title of winner. Everyone knew he had the best voice and a beautiful soul. He continues to enchant everyone with his voice and presence. Truly one of the top voices of his generation.
Geez this little guy can sing like an angel. He didn’t need to win, because they already had him signed to a contract. Most of the time the best singers don’t need the publicity to make the dollars for the music producers, so they have the secondary singers win to boost their popularity.
I could listen to his voice on a constant loop ... non-stop. Something about his spirit and gift .... He won, for sure, Season 7 !! It was a definite shock.
He really deserved to WIN. Now since he already signed a record deal with JIVE RECORD. I hope this time the FANS should support him in FULL FORCE to prove to AMERICA he is THE REAL AMERICAN IDOL and make his First Album will be #1 in The Chart.
David you were the winner to so many of us. I have loved watching you grow these many years. You have been a shinning example to so many, in so many ways. Thank you!
He helped me through the roughest times of my life including when I got bullied everyday at school. Then losing my grandmother to cancer a few days or month after I graduated and went into a deep depression. But listening to archuleta helped me alot through it and still does.
His round one performance of Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me. His second round performance of In This Moment and his version of Imagine during the final round made so so so much sense now to me. So happy for you David 🌈
In our hearts your the American Idol DAVID ARCHULETA. i follow your albums Crush, A little too not over you, something bout love etc... you have so many songs that i remember. but these three is the best.
You're welcome,Jan, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I agree with you, David is an awesome, endearing, young man...he made this season such a pleasure to watch. I'm sure we'll being seeing and hearing a lot from him.
I haven't seen these video's for years and as I watch them today. I still think he was the best of that season. No disrespect to David C. I like him too, but David Archuleta you were then and will always be my ONLY AMERICAN IDOL. Thank you for sharing your God-given talent with us. Can't wait until you return!!!
That performance David was one idol of all times. I can listen to it over and over again. You are a talented person! I think you should have won dude! Still the best!💙
I was witness to his first audition, and feel in love with his unique tone, that raspy quality that I love. Then watched each of his performances and voted my a** off to help him win. Unfortunately, he came in second, to another David. The one performance I missed was his first singing of," Imagine". I had to go to the store, so I set the DVD recorder, but something went wrong and it cut out before the middle of the song. I had to piece together all the segments of the replays to get an idea of the whole performance. Bottom line: I like this guy's vibe/style, he's got that, "Je ne sais quoi" about him, that grabs my attention. And his impressiveness hasn't waned yet. Wish him all the success in his career. 💪🏻😆👍🏻🌈💖🧠🎶 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
2022? His song "crush" was recommended on RUclips music and then I'm curious of where he is now that's why I decided to search his old videos here on RUclips and this clip of him is so magnificent. ♥️🥺
Agreed. I remember this night like it was just last night. I kept dialing that number over again as much as I could before the results came in. And remember crying when I found out archuletas name was not called out on the card I was so sad and cried myself to bed had to have my parents comfort me .oh the good old days.
Yo!! he won that compitician hands down! No disrespect to david cook. But, David Archuleta has proven by a shadow of a doubt that he is a very rare very blessed young man that God has more plans for him. He is a Christian and he demostrates his faith in God in all he does. Thank you David for lighting up my world from the very first time I heard & saw you ,and every day I begin my day with a song by you. God Bless.
That was so awesome!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Love David Archuleta. Amazing singer. I listen to him everyday. He is truly a gift from god.
He's one of those rare artists, who is able to awake all kinds od emotions. He's much, much more than a Singer and performer. There are mamy good singers, but he's simply unique.
When David didnt win American idol. I stopped watching it. And then came Alejandro Aranda. They are so similar in so many ways. I absolutely admire them both.
I was totally with Randy the whole time. He must have also been blown away when David A didn't win. Not that it mattered that much. He's the best perforer I've seen on AGT to this day. A decade and a half later. 😉
I'm a great big Archuleta fan. It still troubles me why he didn't win, when clearly he was the most talented. His voices is without question far above his age and maturity. The shear control his has with his voices is absolutely amazing. Very few adult artist can do what he does, and at the ripe old age of sixteen, its amazing. One of the things that shows like this lets us know, is that, there are out there thousands of young people who are far more talented them what the commercial recording industry know about. I'm so proud of David. He will probably never reach the to a commercial star status, which the recording puts out everyday, but that's o.k.. That's not what he's looking for, nor what he wants. But yet its a damn shame that they can't find room for him without changing who he is, and what he stands for. David Archuleta is a fine, and good man who actually stands for something, he is a man who actually has a heart for people, to do good, and wants to live his life well, and as a example. My hat is off to him. The truth of the matter is that David Archuleta puts a smile on my face. And I'm actually happier and better off for his existence. God truly bless him. I know I do !
he made me cry in the song in this moment and it takes alot to make me cry! way to go and you're my role model and i'm 17 and want to meat you so much!!!!!!!
I can't believe he didn't win!! He was a much better singer than David Cook. I thought he was more popular than Cook with America and would for sure win. I don't think America really decides who wins, this was a fix!!
Colleen P all cuz u had a better voice don’t make u better David cook perform better and David cook show more of makeing it in the real world just like he lasted longer then him
That's not true to who commented and put archuleta down. He's been making albums and touring around the world so therefore david archuleta is still going far in his career. He even is appearing on TV shows even more now. I've been to his concerts and he still is mind blowing. Say what you. Will bout david. But look at all his fans and cheers in the videos on idol at the end of his songs. And his concert videos with all those people loudly cheering for him. Obviously david archuleta has gott God given talent.
Until now everytime I look at this video - My heart goes to him for he really should have WON - There is no doubt about it. I feel that he was robbed. I hope this time the FANS should UNITE IN FULL FORCE to support on his first album once it comes out this year. Just to prove that he has a BIGGER LOYAL FANS on any other IDOL. For this is not about voting - Its about who has A BIGGER FAN BASED - For this time is based on the CD SALES.
This season was when American idol began to do the moment David Cook was announced the winner over Archuleta and 90% of the audience disagreed.... the year adam lambert lost was the year that finished it off
Nail his all song perfectly.. When simon said its a knockout i knew archuleta gonna win but ended up 2nd place.. And the start of downfall for the program after s7..
After so many years past, I still can't believe that he didn't win.
Should have never been in the finals he forget his lyrics 3 times during the season. David Cook was much better & much more original
+BBBYpsi you are super wrong David Archuleta is way better and cuter
So chill
There you have it only little girls voted for him because they thought he was cute.
Teenage girls voted for Cook because they had a crush on him. Cook was not a better singer than David A. David Archuleta was far superior than Cook. Now go on Cook's videos and fawn on him. Leave David Archuleta alone.
You are so right!! Saw him Monday night at Highland Ballroom in NYC. He's still a knockout performer!!
There just are no words to describe how rare a voice like this is. David Archuleta can make you cry every time he sings. He's magic.
True
He sings to my heart with that amazing and angelic voice.
David steals my heart every time I hear his voice, whether is comes over some PA system anywhere. I know that voice!!!
I do cry everytime. How did you know?
It was shocking when he didn't win even though he won the three rounds. He won people's hearts either way and that's what matters.
It's been 12 years.. And it still hurts knowing that he didn't win season 7 😭💔
Really? He's okay.
I still think to this day that he has one of the most beautiful voices to ever be on American Idol. It's a shame he lost to Cook.. Archuleta was head over heals better than Cook in every aspect. But I guess that's how American Idol has always been.. almost every year the best singer comes in second for some reason.. Also why I stopped watching the show.
i agree. he was much better. he has such a heavenly voice. i have all his albums and i just love his voice
i think they do that to produce more artists.. first, the winner himself, and the better one who takes home the second place.
+xxladybug94 Pia Toscano was the best vocally of season 10, but she had no stage presence. Scotty was a good singer, he wasn't amazing like Pia and he had no stage presence. If I were to pick the finale for Season 10 it would be Haley Reinhart and James Durbin.
I think the same as you
All cuz he had a better voice the David cook don’t make him better like this David cook made it past American idol he didn’t he go drop
#2 was the right spot for him because he never liked all the attention. There could be no doubt he was the BEST singer that show ever saw and the best person!
I got to meet and go to dinner with him he is such a down to earth guy.
Don’t rekindle this David cook/ David archuleta feud my family had during this period of time 😂
@1HuskyFire agreed I didn't get to have dinner with him but I was fortunate enough to meet him at this concert at a meet in greet in pa and he truly is a sweet genuine soul.
Plus even Simon was always complementing his performances , and Simon hardly ever did that unless he knew the person could actually sing like really good.
I'm he's cousin from Honduras I got pictures with him in 2010 When he visited My country. 💪🏻💪🏻 #teamdavidarchie
JohnMV HONDURAS My name is Chuck bud
He didn't need the title of winner. Everyone knew he had the best voice and a beautiful soul. He continues to enchant everyone with his voice and presence. Truly one of the top voices of his generation.
Spot on, Daniel with this comment from one year ago!
Exactly. We all know who the true winner was❤
Tats y he got 3.2k likes after 15 yrs,
Everyone except the millions who voted for David Cook.
This one was a toss-up for me and I'd have been happy with either of them winning.
Also, if you look at where David Cook is now and what he's accomplished compared to David Archuleta ? That says it all.
He COMPLETELY outsang Cook in the finale......
Knock cook song out cold in the final..
Geez this little guy can sing like an angel. He didn’t need to win, because they already had him signed to a contract. Most of the time the best singers don’t need the publicity to make the dollars for the music producers, so they have the secondary singers win to boost their popularity.
Exactly!!
Brilliant. Heavily
I was lucky enough to get to see him in concert last night!
And again last night
Oh, girl... you are two times lucky!! this guy is sooo humble, and sings with a very nice spirits 😇!
I saw him in concert two years in California! My favorite! 🥰
I love his voice...and I am not easy to please!
I could listen to his voice on a constant loop ... non-stop. Something about his spirit and gift .... He won, for sure, Season 7 !! It was a definite shock.
after all these years i still believe that Archie Won season 7Period
He really deserved to WIN.
Now since he already signed a record deal with JIVE RECORD. I hope this time the FANS should support him in FULL FORCE to prove to AMERICA he is THE REAL AMERICAN IDOL and make his First Album will be #1 in The Chart.
David you were the winner to so many of us. I have loved watching you grow these many years. You have been a shinning example to so many, in so many ways. Thank you!
He helped me through the roughest times of my life including when I got bullied everyday at school. Then losing my grandmother to cancer a few days or month after I graduated and went into a deep depression. But listening to archuleta helped me alot through it and still does.
I still can't believe he didn't win....he was my American idol !!
I just went to his live concert tonight!! Best night ever!!!
How did he not win?!
His performance was nearly perfect
same with Adam Lambert the following year
The Southern Talibangelicals have nothing better to do than vote repeatedly for 2 hours.
Oct 2020. I just couldn’t believe he is Honduran 🇭🇳🇭🇳 I’m so proud of being one btw. As a singer he is so great 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼👏👏👏❤️ amazing performance
I was astounded he didn't win. And years later I still watch his videos but I have no idea what happened to David Cook
His round one performance of Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me. His second round performance of In This Moment and his version of Imagine during the final round made so so so much sense now to me. So happy for you David 🌈
In our hearts your the American Idol DAVID ARCHULETA. i follow your albums Crush, A little too not over you, something bout love etc... you have so many songs that i remember. but these three is the best.
wow just wow he should have won truly this last 3 performance to the finale is a knock out.
Oh archie... one of the amazing idol contestant. What a soulful performance 😍
I loved this young man on Idols 7. My family were captivated by his singing voice. David sung!
He definitely should have won the competition
You're welcome,Jan, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I agree with you, David is an awesome, endearing, young man...he made this season such a pleasure to watch. I'm sure we'll being seeing and hearing a lot from him.
I haven't seen these video's for years and as I watch them today. I still think he was the best of that season. No disrespect to David C.

That performance David was one idol of all times. I can listen to it over and over again. You are a talented person! I think you should have won dude! Still the best!💙
David Archuleta is The Real American Idol !
and Adam Lambert
@mathewhorodner2000 Kris Allen won because he's from the South. I grew up in Arkansas, too.
That's right. 😊
This is a young man who sings 200% as his mom would agree, you gotta put the 'heart' into the song, David always delivers!
Comeback in the PHILIPPINES :D you are so missed :)
My favorite Idol ever. No one else I'd rather see live. Hurry back, David! #DA2014
I still love watching him sing on American Idol!! He should have won! He's truly an American Idol❤❤❤❤❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH,I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS PERFORMANCE SINCE 2008
He should have won. Probably one of the best voices on the planet
I was witness to his first audition, and feel in love with his unique tone, that raspy quality that I love. Then watched each of his performances and voted my a** off to help him win.
Unfortunately, he came in second, to another David.

Bottom line: I like this guy's vibe/style, he's got that,
"Je ne sais quoi" about him, that grabs my attention.
And his impressiveness hasn't waned yet.
Wish him all the success in his career.
💪🏻😆👍🏻🌈💖🧠🎶
🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
If you love him, do not miss his unbelievably beautiful Christmas songs as lead singer with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir --
I love David Archuleta Forever!
It is Dec2020 & I still have goosebumps hearing him. I still have the CD a friend gave recording all his songs on AI.💃🏽🥰🎶
He is still singing and a Super star 🌟. Amazing looks an talent!
yes. i agree. he should have won. Until now, i cant let it go. really like hiim
I think he lost because Simon kept saying he won. So his fans didn't feel like they had to vote as aggressively as cook's fans.
Dang! His voice is incredible! George Micheal songs are dynamic and he beyond killed that song! This guy got it!!!
2022? His song "crush" was recommended on RUclips music and then I'm curious of where he is now that's why I decided to search his old videos here on RUclips and this clip of him is so magnificent. ♥️🥺
I think he has the voice of an angel i just love him..he is fantastic xx
he has this beautiful soulful melody everytime he sings. love him
Agreed. I remember this night like it was just last night. I kept dialing that number over again as much as I could before the results came in.

Thank you David for lighting up my world from the very first time I heard & saw you ,and every day I begin my day with a song by you. God Bless.
I was worried he was gonna sing the second verse on that last one...great voice...good job :)
I love him! i love his voice i love all of him!!! and He is Mormon too ♥ is the perfect man !!!!!!! (Excuse if i not write well in english i'm latina)
Yes, and if he had won, he might not have served a mission, so being 2nd place, was a actually a blessing, I think.
He just came out as gay
That was so awesome!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Love David Archuleta. Amazing singer. I listen to him everyday. He is truly a gift from god.

Awesome! His talent
and soul is so pure! Thank you God!
texmustangbullitt Amen
He is a missionary now.
@@betsterzsmith6937 not anymore, he left the church because of his struggles with his sexuality
The best that ever tried out for that show.... Love you David...
When David didnt win American idol. I stopped watching it. And then came Alejandro Aranda. They are so similar in so many ways. I absolutely admire them both.
Wow you should've really watched the season after that. Adam Lambert was phenomenal!
I stopped watching after Adam Lambert didn’t win😅
Love his voice still listening to his incredible talent in 2021
2023, almost 2024
Both he and Cook would have deserved the win equally! I loved both of them!
He has a magnificent voice! 💙
One of the most beautiful voices in the world. Great inspiration!
I was totally with Randy the whole time. He must have also been blown away when David A didn't win. Not that it mattered that much. He's the best perforer I've seen on AGT to this day. A decade and a half later. 😉
The male version of Carrie. This kid has it all. Ripped off of course but that is what has ruined idol. Don't even bother watching it anymore.
wow he has a strong voice
he sang the life out of himself In this moment should have been recorded best song ever
I'm a great big Archuleta fan. It still troubles me why he didn't win, when clearly he was the most talented. His voices is without question far above his age and maturity.

the best contestant and the best singer that American idol produce,david sings with his heart that's why.
Que voz linda,ele canta com a alma,lindo mesmo
Why is this very talented young man not as successful as he should be?
He decided that serving God was more important than being a famous singer.
My favourite singer. He is talented hoping he would be joining one of the The Voice judges soon🙏🏼❤️
I don't understand what happened?? he's perfect gosh are some people blind and deaf?
This guy didn't need American Idol, seriously, AI needed him.
💯💖
his voic.e is his giFt. he did not want to be an idol, he is shy, he got exposure here, he will find his own way to pursue his talent
he made me cry in the song in this moment and it takes alot to make me cry! way to go and you're my role model and i'm 17 and want to meat you so much!!!!!!!
I heard him sing with the Mormon Tabernacle...he's a Natural
please come back david... we miss you
I bet John legend was dancing when he sang imagine
He is so very talented and so very humble that as a mom I just want to hug him and kiss him as a child that I am so very very proud of.😘😘😘😘❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
I love David ever since ..
I can't believe he didn't win!! He was a much better singer than David Cook. I thought he was more popular than Cook with America and would for sure win. I don't think America really decides who wins, this was a fix!!
Colleen P all cuz u had a better voice don’t make u better David cook perform better and David cook show more of makeing it in the real world just like he lasted longer then him
That's not true to who commented and put archuleta down. He's been making albums and touring around the world so therefore david archuleta is still going far in his career.

Obviously david archuleta has gott God given talent.
The sun will allways shine on YOU and your beautiful voice.❤😊
Que voz tan hermosa tiene este niño :O
In this moment ❤
Great Video - 5 Stars !
There is no doubt that David Archuleta is THE BEST THING EVER HAPPENED TO AMERICAN IDOL.
He's the reason i still watch idol every year .
Until now everytime I look at this video - My heart goes to him for he really should have WON - There is no doubt about it. I feel that he was robbed.
I hope this time the FANS should UNITE IN FULL FORCE to support on his first album once it comes out this year.
Just to prove that he has a BIGGER LOYAL FANS on any other IDOL.
For this is not about voting - Its about who has A BIGGER FAN BASED - For this time is based on the CD SALES.
It's actually better the way it turned out. He was able to serve a church mission, and if he had won, that might not have happened.
I'm still glad to say I'm still a fan of archuleta to this day couldn't be more proud of him. He's great a human .
This season was when American idol began to do the moment David Cook was announced the winner over Archuleta and 90% of the audience disagreed.... the year adam lambert lost was the year that finished it off
Nail his all song perfectly.. When simon said its a knockout i knew archuleta gonna win but ended up 2nd place.. And the start of downfall for the program after s7..
I do hope he will have more songs to record soon. Amazing singer I even bought his album still my favourite singer. 🙏🏼😘
David deserved the title tbh. in the long run he won as sadly nobody has heard re David Cook... :(
Still watching 2020.cant believe that he didnt won.but he still my best American idol season7!
~David Archuleta~forever the REAL season 7 AMERICAN IDOL!
That Voice
Miss David so much!
David, I have always loved you. I love you still; I love you even more!
i cry almost every time i listen to him sing that's good becasue I don't cry that much good job!!!!!!!
DAMN
❤️
I cried so much when he lost....
If all 3 judges would listen now to David's songs like BROKEN and RAINBOW... WOOOOHH.... wonder what they'd say!
Brings tears to my eyes!!!
Still one of my favorites
i love....
Still an all time favorite for me! Love your voice and who you are!
