7. Top 20 - "Imagine" by David Archuleta

[@AndyZaturno]

This broke the internet back then, and this would've broken the internet today.

[@ScatterdEraserDust]

Unforgettable rendition of "Imagine." Thank God for KZbin so I can rewatch this years later!

[@kaande6453]

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.

[@iLLuMinuS69]

Wonderful how a superb rendition of this song connect people together.

[@catherinesvbialosh7260]

I am so sorry for your loss and know your Dad is there with you and one day you will be together again ❤❤

[@476233]

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.

[@lucyreynolds4035]

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.❤

[@sharonackermann6811]

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.!💕

[@aiclemente3901]

Their prediction to this man is beyond now. David is such a truly blessed man!

[@alexperkins8433]

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.

[@chadley25]

I still maintain that 2:12 is the moment David Archuleta became a star. Just such a fantastic moment in a truly memorable performance. One of Idol's all-time best, as far as I'm concerned. ❤

[@MrSpice5]

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...

[@mariroberts231]

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!!

[@jrobert6916]

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. ❤️🙏🏼

[@theresafekety8552]

Rewatching this always gives me chills. Love it

[@laurahecker6074]

he should have won. love you David!❤️

[@evamurphy5389]

100%

[@tammyleederwhitaker649]

He did win.

[@evamurphy5389]

Tammy W David Cook won by more than 12 million votes on a total of 97 million this happened on May 21, 2008.

[@Woohchaiell]

I stopped watching after that season.

[@Woohchaiell]

Like who is David Cook, do we even hear of him anymore?

[@marypeyton2461]

Definitely my favorite cover of this song period!!!

[@oliviatodd3166]

He had an awesome song choice. So beautiful! 😍

[@Malinda52219]

I was 13 when this was on tv and I was crushing on archuletta hard.

[@PianoDiva24]

Same!!! I was like fifteen though. He was and is so adorable!!

[@MultiRachel05]

Same here!

[@Q3020Q]

This is still one of my favourite Idol performance of all time.

[@earlmcgee9351]

Mine too! Remember this like it was yesterday!

[@nomadicolours]

God I remember cheering this dude on. Now I am listening to him again in 2020! :)

[@pedroc7643]

this is insanely beautiful

[@joshmariscal6431]

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 😭

[@starrlytz3]

Kelly showed her voice coach talents way back when lol

[@py528]

his voice is timeless and pure. soooo good!!!

[@tammyleederwhitaker649]

Keep Inspiring David! You beautiful soul!

[@melodyyook666]

Ten years ago. Time flies so fast. I'm still sad he didn't win the competition.

[@Erri_17]

Yeah, and Melinda Dooluttle got robbed the season before or after.

[@alexperkins8433]

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.

[@archangelstephen]

God was singing through David. He is blessed. He changed my life forever

[@raquelcuello5683]

Beautiful. I love his voice ❤

[@marilyncocozzatrillo1534]

Perfection!!

[@sherrylanetuppal9918]

its been a years and im still in love with Archie..

[@anitatapia4254]

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.

[@terriperry280]

Beautiful rendition David. Actual definition of the higher law of consecration. Sister Perry. 3rd verse rocks.

[@pepimeliva283]

2022 i turn back watching david, i'm nostalgic able 💕💕💕

[@sambrina8159]

My fav off all idols, archuleta n jason castro were too cute.

[@pipity88]

[@alicesalazar1501]

this season was my favorite if only archie could see this again he should be very happy. He is really destine to sing..

[@bunnygummybear9638]

4:22 he answered that pretty well

[@faustinaledesma3111]

Me facinaa❤🎉

[@msizzygirl1]

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.

[@nolitacarlton6944]

tears starts flowing cs of the crazy goosebumps he make me, gosh hes awesome since hes just a kid ;;;;;;;;;;

[@adrianamedrano4512]

INSUPERABLE.THE BEST

[@sachamo100]

Still an amazing talent!

The King of Idol❤

[@allanpeterson3358]

He should have been the winner!

[@chazcastro-kujak4751]

David is blessed by god’s grace

[@Archiedorable]

The fan said, "We love you David!"

[@networth00]

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.

[@faustinaledesma3111]

Divino Archie'😍

[@LilyRose-theOne]

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.

[@pinksnow-pc2tf]

[@prestonsmomma5]

Best AI performance ever.

Missing this season

[@tammyleederwhitaker649]

My dream!

[@mariroberts231]

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!!

[@jenariv517]

I stoped watching when he didn’t win!!! He should’ve won!

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!

[@valentinamonti298]

What does the fan scream to David at 6.22?

[@danni1993]

I heard John Lennon did a cover of this song, but nobody can sing it better than David Archuleta.

[@faustinaledesma3111]

DAVID MEGUSTA TU VELLAS CANCION ¡¡

[@benjaminatkinson6905]

i was 2 or 3 when this happened

[@angelvladimircumaresalcedo6441]

Él pudo ser un artista grande pero no lo apoyaron porque es tan lleno de Luz y la industria solo apoya lo contrario.

[@heinhtet2234]

Anyone in Quarantine 😌

[@santosluzardo640]

Gran voz Pero que éxitos tiene ?

[@kennethhill613]

This song made him the one to beat, Billie Jean made David cook the winner.

[@kirinkinkongkoy6077]

what did David said? 5:35

[@athayde1989]

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.

[@gr122]

he looks a lot like Freddy Rodriguez Rico on six feet under

[@heinhtet2234]

Any in 2020? 😿😿😿

I’ll never be convinced that he wasn’t the real winner. I have a great guess as to why it wasn’t given to him!! Very sad and wrong!!
