I remember when I heard him sing this live. I stopped midway walking to my room. His voice is so perfectly magical, crisp, and pure like this song. It’s so rare to find a voice, a singer, and lyrics that all mesh so well together.
My dad and I played this over and over again.... we couldn’t believe how well he did... it was a special bond between us to watch this together. He died this year and now I’m watching it again without him.
I still maintain that 2:12 is the moment David Archuleta became a star. Just such a fantastic moments in a truly memorable performance. One of Idol's all-time best, as far as I'm concerned. ❤
I loved the voice and the person of David, now that he has come out with his truth about his sexuality he just made himself even more admirably unique!!
i will never forget this performance. still moves me. his faith, hope and humble nature are breathtaking, such a gift to watch.....so good to watch during these kooky times....pure goodness.
So many people look at David as this kid who has a good voice… But David is wise beyond his years… He knows exactly what he is doing! He thinks about what he’s doing, he has, that inner strength of knowing what is important, and how to analyze the meaning, in the lyric of every song and fills it in his gut.!💕
Love this guy. Been following him since after idol been following his journey and his music and his love for life I’m 71 years old. My kids are actually older than him and yet I love what he’s doing and I share his music every time I can. David Archuleta is truly timeless.❤
I'm watching again this evening at work and he has as always brought tears to my eyes..absolutely love love this young man!! My granddaughter and I dance around the house to all his songs!! He's amazing!!
I have been watching this every day the past 4 weeks of this Coronavirus Pandemic!!! It brings me so much peace ✌🏻.... in a stressful world right now. We will get through this... and with FAITH HOPE AND PRAYER we will likely live more “together as one world, one PEACE in Christ. Anything is possible. David Archeleta...stay well. Be safe. We need your voice, your gratitude and humble Happiness. Don’t let anything or anyone get you down. Your music is loved MORE than ever before. You didn’t need to win Idol. You have the worlds heart. I’m praying for your family. ❤️🙏🏼
Hermosa version! Nose porq no tenía idea en ese momento del show, lo conocí mucho tiempo después que me bautice en la iglesia y fui a una misión, las misioneras hablaban mucho de él y que estaba sirviendo en Chile.
Love his version and the the fact he left out the first verse made it that more special! I don't think he could have put any emotion or feelings in those lyrics anyway.
I wonder why you skipped the line:”...and no religion too...”... but anyway David, John Lennon would be very proud of you. This performance was a masterpiece on all levels. You voice is just out of this world.
To answer Randy's question, he didn't sing the first verse because it says, "Imagine there's no heaven" and religious people aren't a big fan of that line.
How sad he lost..I lived inMO where David Cook was from. I'm sorry but he was no where near as talented as David Archuleta is. We listen to his music all the time..His voice is AMAZING!!
After he heard what Simon said, he decided to applause the other contestants like he was saying the competition didn't finish yet and they're still competing despite David did the best performance that week.
This broke the internet back then, and this would've broken the internet today.
Unforgettable rendition of "Imagine." Thank God for TH-cam so I can rewatch this years later!

Wonderful how a superb rendition of this song connect people together.
I am so sorry for your loss and know your Dad is there with you and one day you will be together again ❤❤

What about his sexuality?
@@hanzos9958 He admitted he's part of LGBTQ. in the bisexual spectrum he said
@@itsmoe8124 then, he is a gay?
Their prediction to this man is beyond now. David is such a truly blessed man!

Rewatching this always gives me chills. Love it

Still watching at the end of 2019. Archie is still a show stopper. No one has ever done this better... and very few want to try...
he should have won. love you David!❤️
100%
He did win.
Tammy W David Cook won by more than 12 million votes on a total of 97 million this happened on May 21, 2008.
I stopped watching after that season.
Like who is David Cook, do we even hear of him anymore?
I was 13 when this was on tv and I was crushing on archuletta hard.
Same!!! I was like fifteen though. He was and is so adorable!!
Same here!

Kelly showed her voice coach talents way back when lol
God I remember cheering this dude on. Now I am listening to him again in 2020! :)
This is still one of my favourite Idol performance of all time.
Mine too! Remember this like it was yesterday!
Definitely my favorite cover of this song period!!!
He had an awesome song choice. So beautiful! 😍
this is insanely beautiful
❤David❤
Ten years ago. Time flies so fast. I'm still sad he didn't win the competition.
Yeah, and Melinda Dooluttle got robbed the season before or after.
honestly - i think winning has/had a lot of ballast - hes done well....as it should be. his pure, humble nature shines.... such a joy to watch.
And a Star in Born!
his voice is timeless and pure. soooo good!!!
I’ll never forget this performance… I was 9 and my mom recorded this on her VHS tape, I’d watch this over and over again 😭
Amazing voice
God was singing through David. He is blessed. He changed my life forever
its been a years and im still in love with Archie..
Keep Inspiring David! You beautiful soul!
Ermoso maravilloso vos David Archuleta😍
You definitely should have won, kiddo! But look where you are now! You’ve got albums out and I love every one of them!
My fav off all idols, archuleta n jason castro were too cute.

I know david when I was in Senior High school. It has been 10 years ago
I'm still a fan of you
Hermosa version! Nose porq no tenía idea en ese momento del show, lo conocí mucho tiempo después que me bautice en la iglesia y fui a una misión, las misioneras hablaban mucho de él y que estaba sirviendo en Chile.
This is what did it for me❗❗❗❗
The fan said, "We love you David!"
Love his version and the the fact he left out the first verse made it that more special! I don't think he could have put any emotion or feelings in those lyrics anyway.
2022 i turn back watching david, i'm nostalgic able 💕💕💕
Always my favorite 😍
He should have been the winner!
INSUPERABLE.THE BEST
Beautiful rendition David. Actual definition of the higher law of consecration. Sister Perry. 3rd verse rocks.

The King of Idol❤
Divino Archie'😍
David is blessed by god’s grace

My dream!
Best AI performance ever.
Missing this season
8 years ago....
❤
I GOT it!!!
What does the fan scream to David at 6.22?
Aku umur 16 atau 17 an lihatin ini di youtube. Dan sekarang mereka sudah bapak-bapak.
I stoped watching when he didn’t win!!! He should’ve won!
you didnt see adam in season 8!
@@charalex6877 and Adam was robbed as well
DAVID MEGUSTA TU VELLAS CANCION ¡¡
I heard John Lennon did a cover of this song, but nobody can sing it better than David Archuleta.
How sad he lost..I lived inMO where David Cook was from. I'm sorry but he was no where near as talented as David Archuleta is. We listen to his music all the time..His voice is AMAZING!!
what did David said? 5:35
After he heard what Simon said, he decided to applause the other contestants like he was saying the competition didn't finish yet and they're still competing despite David did the best performance that week.
The Masked Singer brought me here
i was 2 or 3 when this happened
I think at the beginning he should have just said "proof that Davids are popular" I mean, there's three out of 10. Come on!
Gran voz
Pero que éxitos tiene ?
davids
Anyone in Quarantine 😌
In God's grace go i.. Hercules
He should have won
Y pregunto por que la madre de David no estuvo aquí. Solo están las tías gringas y no está la Madre que es Hispana.
Who beat him?
David Cook
Archiedorable thanks!
Any in 2020? 😿😿😿
he looks a lot like Freddy Rodriguez Rico on six feet under
This song made him the one to beat, Billie Jean made David cook the winner.
One of those Season 1 American Idol finalists died
Who?
@@hanzos9958Nikki McKibbin. She died of brain aneurysm.
Too bad he felt he had to leave out “no religion too...”
Randy Jackson is such a waste of space
