Think back. has there ever been a performer/singer of this age that had an auditorium full of people so transfixed and focused as David does every time he sings. He is living proof that if you are real and sincere, people will be drawn to you because that is what the world is craving right now. Bravo David, you are the world's friend and the best dang singer in this world to boot.
Don't think I've ever seen a better smile anywhere. The singer and song aren't too shabby, either. Megastar, right there. He's going to be around for a long, long time.
Archies, he's done it. David has arrived at super-stardom! Being a fan of David has been such an amazing experience since day one, but videos like this take my fandom to a whole new level. I am soooo unbelievably proud to be his fan.......guh!!!!!!!!!
Complete and total HOTNESS!!! No one comes close to David's ability to communicate with his voice!!! So much to love about him! David is beyond amazing; he is sheer vocal perfection! Simply stunning in every way!!!
How amazing that this kid can sing this song as well as any adult, and sing "Crush" -- a pop song geared more for teens, as well as any teen pop star. He is amazing.
David is maturing right before our eyes.This performance is beyond description. He is not competitive by nature, so he is so much more relaxed just singing without being judged and having to be "better" than anyone else. the fact is, though,that he is better than everybody else
pps. That killer thousand watt smile could light up the world!! He's all heart and soul when he sings. Anyone who isn't moved by his singing must not have a heart and soul!
David has said many times that he has never been "in love". It doesn't matter. He IS love. His love is not directed at any specific person, it just IS. This is a great lesson for all of us. Love doesn't have to have an object. Just feel it. It's the feeling of it that brings the joy to yourself and all those you come in contact with. Listen to and watch David sing this song. It's love in its purest state, with no objects to distract it.Learn from this 17 year old angel. He is a great teacher.
Its as thought he is twins, one so masterful and confident singing with a maturity of someone twice his age and then off stage this loveable,adorable,sweet kids who is amazing. He certainly keeps my interest going. He may be grateful to all of us, but I can only say he has changed my life completely. Almost a non existent of music in my life until this young kid from Utah woke me up. Now I can hardly get by a few hours without listening to him sing. Watching him grow up before my eyes,a gift.
I'm not usually one to comment on David's physical appeal, but my goodness, he is so CUTE in this video! His smile is so engaging, his connection to the music so apparent, his stage presence so vulnerable and hypnotizing! He is very pleasant to watch!!!!!
When's he's dancing during Stand By Me, he's the cutest kid on the planet. When he's singing this song,he's the most sesitive, loving, beautiful soul on the planet. He's totally believable as both and gives people so much to love about him, without any rawness or "edge". Purity is now "cool", thanks to David Archuleta. Did I also mention that his voice is utterly magnificent?
I saw him live yesterday and stayed for autographs afterward.... He's not only an amazing singer live (I think I got teary eyed) but also a very well-mannered and kind person. We all held out our hands in the autograph line and he ran and slapped all our hands... so cute!
I know it's been said many, many times before by others, but WOW! I've never seen David so connected to this song as he is here and that smile he makes during the song made me melt. I love this kid so much.
17 year old kids aren't supposed to have this much depth and charisma, but here it is for all to see and experience. This performance is breathtaking both musically and emotionally. Wait 'till he's free from the AI boot camp. Then we'll all see what David can really do. The chills this grown man (me) experiences near the end of this performance says all I need to know about our friend David.
I agree! Esp. that DAVID ARCHULETA WAS THE REAL AMERICAN IDOL SEASON 7, PERIOD. END OF SUBJECT. Cook has talent, but DA deserved the title. He is in a class all his own. A STAR was born Shop Around night. DA has only JUST BEGUN to show us what he's made of. A remarkable "old soul" w/ depth, a razor sharp focus & passion for music. We can hardly take it all in now (I too am an older obsessed fan, who can't help but be hooked!) DA's rise to success has no limits; the best is yet to come!
I am still stunned by this performance. He makes impeccable choices in his phrasings, in how long he holds the notes ... in everything. I would dearly love to have this song in a HD version on my big screen TV.
I'm back for another viewing of this performance. It's like a warm hug set to music. The term "owning the stage" never applied more than with this performance. It usually takes years for a singer to establish this kind of love affair with an audience. Say what you want about American Idol. It introduced us to David and allowed us to get to know him as a person and an artist. The rest, as they say, will be music history.
This is the best WYSLM by far. Thanks for sharing. People shouldn't compare this vid with JG's vid of WYSYLM because JG's was a studio version while this is a live concert. David A is absolutely brilliant here. No comparison should be made except to a live version also. If he ever records this, then let's compare his recorded version with JG's recorded version cuz then you're comparing apples to apples.
When I really listened to the lyrics I realize they chronicle David's experience with his loving fans. "I hear your voice and suddenly I'm falling lost in a dream" " and when you say you love me, I know why I'm alive" "and when you say you love me do you know how I love you" Someday David will fall in love with a woman and it will mean something different but now it is for us his fans and family.
Did you notice that sweet smile just before the ending when he hesitates singing the last line, people are screaming and clapping, I think he beginning to realize just how much we all adore him. What a stunning video, what a stunning performance. Superstar has arrived and he's all ours.
i'm not a religious guy, but, it's as if God has sent this boy to us to reteach us how to feel joy, compassion, kindness and friendship. He gave him this magnificent talent in order to get and keep our focus on these values. He put him on American Idol because of the mass audience it reaches, and then made him finish second to teach us how winning is not as important as being faithful to our values and doing our best. Everyone knows that David was the best singer on that show,but now,who cares.
the kid is gonna be sooooooooo huge! he's stuck to the ai contract, for now. but when his debut album takes off, he is gonna be unstoppable! you go go go go david james!
When he sings,he's a towering goliath who completely transfixes thousands of people in the audience. As soon as he is finished,he is again a shy, humble boy who is so grateful to be there. That is why he is so lovable. Both qualities are real and so endearing.This performance, btw, is utterly fantastic.
I can't get over this video!!!! I've been watching it for 24 hours. What has this kid done to so many people???!!! He's absolutely beautiful and breath taking in every single way!!!! David has created mass hysteria across the world!!!! Watch out world, this is JUST THE BEGINNING!!!!
The stampede to get David's CD will make the running of the bulls in Pamploma seem like a stroll down Main St on a Sunday afternoon. It will be like Carole King's "Tapestry"album in 1971--everyone had a copy.
Stunning. Simply stunning. It's incredible to think of the things I would sacrifice to hear him sing live. David Archuleta.... there aren't words to describe.
David's connection to his audience is beyond belief.He cannot contain his joy and appreciation at the end of the song and must stop singing at the very end before he finishes. The emotion he displays on his beautiful face is almost too much to bear. This is the best video yet from the tour. You get to see him, hear him, and, most important, FEEL him. Simply breathtaking.
Sam, Do you have any idea how many thousands and thousands of people you have made happy with this video. This video embodies what being a fan of David is all about-that's the emotion that David puts into his songs.....THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!
how does he do that? i dont think there is any singer who sings their heart out like david does. UNBELIEVABLY MOLTEN FIRE HAWT! *screams my lung out!!*
Olemr2001,thank you for your kind words.I'm still amazed at the extent that David can take a song that it associated with another singer(and famous ones,to boot)and immediately make it his song. Josh Groban is a superstar, and this is (was) his song.After this performance and this video gets out, it will be allover for Josh and this song. David really outdid himself on this one.
David's ability to convey emotions so well through his music is absolutely brilliant!!! When watching him sing this song, I feel every thing he feels. I can't go more than a couple of hours without watching this video!!!
Well said. He's turned many of us into "believers"... of a whole lot of things that have been sorely lacking in pop culture, life in general. Your type comments and thoughts are echoed on boards everywhere. DA has hit a cultural nerve...and the time has come for the messages he brings...and he brings them so beautifually.
this is AMAZING. him singing this song is giving me chills. i cant believe a 17 year old could have a singing voice like that. he amazes me more and more everyday.
david..i love you..watching you is like flying in the sky with no worries and problems...just a feeling of freedom and happines together with you..just like Superman did when he took Lewis in the sky..such a romantic moment...you're my Superman David..!!! i love you!!!
Sinatra, Elvis, and now David. Both of the others would have loved David, especially Sinatra. It's been a longctime, but it was worth the wait for David to hit the scene.
He just reduces me to putty every single time. David has his fans in the palm of his hand. I've loved many performers before, but none like this. There is something about David that touches your very core. Gosh, that smile at the end WAS a killer.. Thanks Sam, being able to watch David's expression throughout this beautiful song made me cry. And somehow, we know our Archie will find a way to top even this glorious performance. I can't get enough of him.
His beautiful smile towards the end of the song when he hesitates before the last line, everyone is screaming and clapping, maybe he finally realizes how we all adore him. Stunning performance, stunning video. Superstar has arrived and he's all ours.
he is so unbelievable! really he is! its like i cant believe such human being like him do EXIST! seriously! until now i just CANT BELIEVE MY EYES AND EARS! I'M SOOOO IN HEAVEN! watching him makes my heart stop at this very moment! I'M SO PROUD THAT I GET A CHANCE TO WITNESS A GLOWING STAR GROW! HE IS GONNA BE HUGE THAN ANYONE CAN IMAGINE! DAVID,YOU STOLE MY ENTIRE ME!
How does one so young capture the essence of love with all the emotions and transcend that in his singing to all his fans? He's truly amazing and I cannot stop listening. I'm so hooked on this young man, he has changed music in my life. I'm not sure any singer as effected this way before. What a joy and beautiful gift we have all received.
I've watched every performance of WYSYLM in every city. I always come back to this one. Watching the emotion and passion in David's face leaves me speechless and breathless. I know we don't talk much about the fact that he's only 17.. but my goodness who can emote that type of feeling in a song at such a tender age? He is truly incredible.
I've watched this so many times and it still gets to me every time and I'm almost 50. I think David's appeal transcends age, boundaries and gender. I've grown up with Beatles, Andy Williams, Carpenters and recently Michael Buble. I put David right up there with my other favourites. It doesn't hurt that he's a great sensitive kid to boot. I hope he comes to Malaysia on his Asian tour.
WOW! WOW! WOW! his performance was amazing! as always, more than amazing...minute 3:16 to 3:19 BREATHTAKING!!!! He is gorgeous! his inside and outer beauty are breathtaking. As somebody on one of his fansites said "he is a piece of art" and he definitely is. He's very, very, very close to perfection. I "adore" this kid! God bless him!
If you really listen to the lyrics "lost in a dream" "where I belong" "I can fly" one realizes this is a love song for we fans who have given David a chance to fulfill his destiny. What a joy for us!
I agree with gdwme, we have to make it happen for David. He is lighting it up every night and it's great that we come here to discuss because he moves us so much. But it won't mean a darn thing if we don't buy his CD. We need to make sure we help him stay around for a very long time.
This video is excellent!! This is the best version of WYSYLM that I have seen so far. I could actually hear all the words. It was really clear. I love this song so much!! The way he connects with the audience is amazing!! His voice just hits something deep within my soul. I cry everytime I hear this song. Thanks so much for posting this video. Awesome Job!!!
I'm not a Mrs Robertson but has any other female over the age of 40 notice he starting to show his sex appeal (weird word according to Archie)? His transition within a few weeks if amazing. His connection with his fans is showing on his face when he sings and to my joy is giving his the confidence of a star beyond American Idol. Keep smiling David you hooked us good, and your reeling all in to heaven.
outstanding!! out of this world, josh groban is smiling proud! this kid is gonna be sooo huge! bright, blinding lights! future is soooo bright he gotta wear shades! lol
We are making it up to David right now that we didn't put him over the top on Idol We're showing him how much we love on this tour. (I'm going next week!!) We're showing him by seeking out every bit of information out there about him.. by coming here every day to see every new, unique, beautiful performance. He will really get the picture when we all go out there and buy his CD. It's as simple as that people. Idol doesn't matter anymore.
Ok it's been almost a year and I still have chills watching this video ... He's so amazing unbelievable amazing ! The way he's performing this song MY GOD ! Surreal.
this video 'capture' was amaZing!WHAT A GREAT SPOT YOU HAD!!I wish I could have seen him.I'm one of the 'older' fans..not a grandma, but 42 yrs old, and I am so captivated by this young man.he's gonna go a very long way,with that angelic voice, his own unique style,his gorgeous smile,and his personality.he's amazing.A gem,for the world to watch shine brightly for a very long time.Love him.
Ugh no words can describe how unbelievably brilliant this performance is! That young man is 17 & sounds like that LIVE at every show, THAT IS PHENOMINAL!!!
Stunning performance and his sweet smile towards the end of the song if fantastic. Loved that he waited a second before finishing the last line... waiting for his fans to enjoy the moment. . hope he knows how much we adore him. Thank for such a great video showing all his emotions.
Sam91101, I just want to thank you again for this vid. I was at this show...right there at the corner of the catwalk. Being there, it's hard to process just how amazing this performance is. But I watch this over and over, and every single time I do, it makes my heart swell with love, like a proud mama. He's an amazing talent and an exceptional young man. "What could it be that comes over me..." when David sings?? lol Love this kid!!
David is number 4 on Amazon now. I just pre-ordered 3 copies of his CD. That's not enough!! Let's really make this happen for David. He deserves it so much.
Heavens. How can I listen to this song so many times and still get emotional when I listen again? I suppose it's because David sings from the heart -- and I FEEL it, every time.
I sure hope it it true that he will sing this on his winter tour. I have wanted to hear him sing this live. He is just the most amazing young man...That face, voice and spirit..Oh to be 18 again!! God Bless you David. You will do wonderful on this tour, you get better and better each time you sing. We love you!!!
First off, thanks Sam, soooo much for such an incredible video of this amazing performance...absolutely priceless! Aside from all the aforementioned comments of others, I love the big, burly voice at the very start yelling, "Archie!!". Just goes to show that it's not just we women. He's captivating to EVERYONE! Such a gem. I sure hope a nasty Hollywood skank doesn't get her claws into him at any point. :( I trust that his good character and his parents will protect him from that scene.
My lord...can his voice possibly get any more angelic?? Hes beautiful and i am more than just proud to be his fan!! U go david and dnt u ever let anyone get in ur way!!
breathtaking, and beautiful. Davids voice is a national treasure. In this genre of music, he can deliver a song like no one else. just incredible vocals!! Gaahh!!!
I was sooooooo happy to be there on Tuesday night. I could hear his pure voice, saw his cute face. And that smile...!!! ahhhhh....When I saw his smile at the end, I died literally!!!
I'm so obsessed with how he performs this song that I have two different performances favorited. I was at one of the Idol concerts this summer...he is so amazing. When he holds out the notes I got chills I swear.
It's always nice to come back and watch David sing this beautiful song. He puts so much passion into every song he sings. Going to see him in a few weeks. VIP can't wait.
omigosh, i thought i couldnt cry any harder watching that performance but when he smiled just before singing the last two lines and did the sign, i just lost it, totally. he is just amazing beyond words.
I never liked this song...but I could listen to David Archuleta sing it over and over and over and over again...Holy cow...I'm just melting. And, those smiles from 2:50 on...pure bliss (from him and for me)...
its amazing that no matter how many times i listen to him hear this song i still get emotional and get goosebumps... david is so amazing. he has a very bright future ahead of him.
it melted my heart when he paused and smiled... whoa!!! this guy really knows how to connect with the audience!!! MABUHAY KA, DAVID ARCHULETA!!! AY-AYATEN KA UNAY, UNAY!!!
mygoodness. i cant stop the tears from flowing out of my eyes! i love you david. i can really feel that power when i hear him sing. GOSH. he is HEAVEN! AND YEAH. THAT..THAT SMILE!!!!!!! *faints*
oh gosh... this is really stunning... what a refreshing end to a tiresome day.. david really has "it".. you just can't explain how much he affects people with his music and his soulful singing.. he is really amazing.. just great.. thanks for this..
AMAZING! When he pauses toward the end...OMG...Archie, naughty, naughty! He knows only well what kind of effect that has on his female fans and he's having a kick out of it! As Ryan would put it 'the ladies love you and you love that they love you'! lol
Josh Groban..luv ya, but....David A. just kills this. And that smile at the end...sighhhh....wow. Where did this kid come from and what the heck were we all listening to before he came along?! LOVE DAVID A!!!!!
What a voice! I hope he gets to sing songs like this also. I love Crush and the others he sings but he really connects to this kind of music. Him singing this song takes me to another place. He is that good.
Think back. has there ever been a performer/singer of this age that had an auditorium full of people so transfixed and focused as David does every time he sings. He is living proof that if you are real and sincere, people will be drawn to you because that is what the world is craving right now. Bravo David, you are the world's friend and the best dang singer in this world to boot.
Don't think I've ever seen a better smile anywhere.
The singer and song aren't too shabby, either.
Megastar, right there. He's going to be around for a long, long time.
Archies, he's done it. David has arrived at super-stardom! Being a fan of David has been such an amazing experience since day one, but videos like this take my fandom to a whole new level. I am soooo unbelievably proud to be his fan.......guh!!!!!!!!!
wow he is 17 and still manages to sound as good as josh groban. two of my fav singers. David rocked this song! goosebumps!
Complete and total HOTNESS!!! No one comes close to David's ability to communicate with his voice!!! So much to love about him! David is beyond amazing; he is sheer vocal perfection! Simply stunning in every way!!!
How amazing that this kid can sing this song as well as any adult, and sing "Crush" -- a pop song geared more for teens, as well as any teen pop star. He is amazing.

I am still stunned by this performance. He makes impeccable choices in his phrasings, in how long he holds the notes ... in everything.
I would dearly love to have this song in a HD version on my big screen TV.
Omigosh! When he pauses and smiles - *faints*
So much emotion in 3 minutes and 53 seconds - he is simply BRILLIANT!

This is the best WYSLM by far. Thanks for sharing. People shouldn't compare this vid with JG's vid of WYSYLM because JG's was a studio version while this is a live concert.

No one else can make you FEEL a song, like young David Archuleta.....no one.

The boy -- superstar.

I've grown up with Beatles, Andy Williams, Carpenters and recently Michael Buble. I put David right up there with my other favourites. It doesn't hurt that he's a great sensitive kid to boot. I hope he comes to Malaysia on his Asian tour.
WOW! WOW! WOW! his performance was amazing! as always, more than amazing...minute 3:16 to 3:19 BREATHTAKING!!!! He is gorgeous! his inside and outer beauty are breathtaking. As somebody on one of his fansites said "he is a piece of art" and he definitely is. He's very, very, very close to perfection. I "adore" this kid! God bless him!
If you really listen to the lyrics "lost in a dream" "where I belong" "I can fly" one realizes this is a love song for we fans who have given David a chance to fulfill his destiny. What a joy for us!
I agree with gdwme, we have to make it happen for David. He is lighting it up every night and it's great that we come here to discuss because he moves us so much. But it won't mean a darn thing if we don't buy his CD. We need to make sure we help him stay around for a very long time.
This video is excellent!! This is the best version of WYSYLM that I have seen so far. I could actually hear all the words. It was really clear. I love this song so much!! The way he connects with the audience is amazing!! His voice just hits something deep within my soul. I cry everytime I hear this song. Thanks so much for posting this video. Awesome Job!!!
I'm not a Mrs Robertson but has any other female over the age of 40 notice he starting to show his sex appeal (weird word according to Archie)? His transition within a few weeks if amazing. His connection with his fans is showing on his face when he sings and to my joy is giving his the confidence of a star beyond American Idol. Keep smiling David you hooked us good, and your reeling all in to heaven.
outstanding!! out of this world, josh groban is smiling proud! this kid is gonna be sooo huge! bright, blinding lights! future is soooo bright he gotta wear shades! lol
We are making it up to David right now that we didn't put him over the top on Idol We're showing him how much we love on this tour. (I'm going next week!!) We're showing him by seeking out every bit of information out there about him.. by coming here every day to see every new, unique, beautiful performance. He will really get the picture when we all go out there and buy his CD. It's as simple as that people. Idol doesn't matter anymore.
Ok it's been almost a year and I still have chills watching this video ... He's so amazing unbelievable amazing !
The way he's performing this song MY GOD ! Surreal.
This kid can sing like there is no tomorrow. His sweet voice brings tears to my eyes.
I am such a baby. It never fails, David brings me to tears every sing time. How does this boy do it? What ever IT is, David hat IT!

As much as I love all of David's own songs -- this cover is so beautiful. I look forward to a future filled with his voice and interpretation.
Ugh no words can describe how unbelievably brilliant this performance is!
That young man is 17 & sounds like that LIVE at every show, THAT IS PHENOMINAL!!!
Stunning performance and his sweet smile towards the end of the song if fantastic. Loved that he waited a second before finishing the last line... waiting for his fans to enjoy the moment. . hope he knows how much we adore him. Thank for such a great video showing all his emotions.
Sam91101, I just want to thank you again for this vid. I was at this show...right there at the corner of the catwalk. Being there, it's hard to process just how amazing this performance is. But I watch this over and over, and every single time I do, it makes my heart swell with love, like a proud mama. He's an amazing talent and an exceptional young man. "What could it be that comes over me..." when David sings?? lol Love this kid!!
David is number 4 on Amazon now. I just pre-ordered 3 copies of his CD. That's not enough!! Let's really make this happen for David. He deserves it so much.
Heavens. How can I listen to this song so many times and still get emotional when I listen again? I suppose it's because David sings from the heart -- and I FEEL it, every time.
I sure hope it it true that he will sing this on his winter tour. I have wanted to hear him sing this live. He is just the most amazing young man...That face, voice and spirit..Oh to be 18 again!! God Bless you David. You will do wonderful on this tour, you get better and better each time you sing. We love you!!!
First off, thanks Sam, soooo much for such an incredible video of this amazing performance...absolutely priceless!
Aside from all the aforementioned comments of others, I love the big, burly voice at the very start yelling, "Archie!!". Just goes to show that it's not just we women. He's captivating to EVERYONE! Such a gem. I sure hope a nasty Hollywood skank doesn't get her claws into him at any point. :( I trust that his good character and his parents will protect him from that scene.
I get goosebumps every time I hear this. Without fail. I've never had this happen to me before!
My lord...can his voice possibly get any more angelic?? Hes beautiful and i am more than just proud to be his fan!! U go david and dnt u ever let anyone get in ur way!!
breathtaking, and beautiful. Davids voice is a national treasure.
In this genre of music, he can deliver a song like no one else. just incredible vocals!! Gaahh!!!
I love this song by David ... I heard him in Kansas City and Tulsa and was amazed... hearing him singing live is an incredible experience.
omgsh his smile at the end gets me.
and ive decided this song has to played at my wedding. its too perfect!
I was sooooooo happy to be there on Tuesday night. I could hear his pure voice, saw his cute face. And that smile...!!! ahhhhh....When I saw his smile at the end, I died literally!!!
I'm so obsessed with how he performs this song that I have two different performances favorited.
I was at one of the Idol concerts this summer...he is so amazing. When he holds out the notes I got chills I swear.
It's always nice to come back and watch David sing this beautiful song. He puts so much passion into every song he sings. Going to see him in a few weeks. VIP can't wait.
omigosh, i thought i couldnt cry any harder watching that performance but when he smiled just before singing the last two lines and did the sign, i just lost it, totally. he is just amazing beyond words.
His voice is perfect in every way!!! No one even comes close!!!
Damn! This is so perfect!
HE is so perfect!
*** speechless ***
Archie's voice is unique, amazing. Great song, beautiful singing!
I never liked this song...but I could listen to David Archuleta sing it over and over and over and over again...Holy cow...I'm just melting.
And, those smiles from 2:50 on...pure bliss (from him and for me)...
its amazing that no matter how many times i listen to him hear this song i still get emotional and get goosebumps... david is so amazing. he has a very bright future ahead of him.
goosebumps, tears ............. David sings this sooo beautifully ... Amazing!!!
There's no comparing David and Josh, great voices in different ways! Amazing performance here no doubt...
This performance of his just melted my heart. I don't know why, when I listen to this performance of his, I feel peaceful.
my heart palpitates like crazy every time i hear him singing this song. David Archuleta's amazing (:
it melted my heart when he paused and smiled... whoa!!! this guy really knows how to connect with the audience!!!
MABUHAY KA, DAVID ARCHULETA!!!
AY-AYATEN KA UNAY, UNAY!!!
Love coming to this one over and over. If he would just stay in this genre of his music.
He is a wonder. Wonder boy Archuleta.
Still my favorite song of his ... that voice! Makes me cry!! So beautiful.

Thank you, David, for loving music so much. You are a gift to us all.
I hope I don't faint when I see him live...that voice just pierces ones heart!
Still listening to this in 2014. No regrets!! :)
Everytime he sings, I just can't resist but smile! He's just so amazing...
I love that smile! I love that he is feeling the love out there. He deserves it. Go David, you're the best.
AMAZING! When he pauses toward the end...OMG...Archie, naughty, naughty! He knows only well what kind of effect that has on his female fans and he's having a kick out of it! As Ryan would put it 'the ladies love you and you love that they love you'! lol
Josh Groban..luv ya, but....David A. just kills this. And that smile at the end...sighhhh....wow. Where did this kid come from and what the heck were we all listening to before he came along?!
LOVE DAVID A!!!!!
What a voice! I hope he gets to sing songs like this also. I love Crush and the others he sings but he really connects to this kind of music. Him singing this song takes me to another place. He is that good.
i think David Archuleta will be crown as king of soul...!!!
his voice take my soul!!!
