American Idol 7 -David Archuleta - Top 2 - All 3 Songs

David Archuleta's amazing finale performances

[@roseannebyrd9731]

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.

[@michelehileman3568]

I do!!!

[@1besieged]

This is a young man who sings 200% as his mom would agree, you gotta put the 'heart' into the song, David always delivers!

[@143PinaynProud]

I love David Archuleta Forever!

[@mariannehoes1991]

Brings tears to my eyes!!!

[@ajaysison1627]

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 🌈

[@jeanmiller1619]

I think he has the voice of an angel i just love him..he is fantastic xx

[@DroppingTheDeuce]

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]

i agree. he was much better. he has such a heavenly voice. i have all his albums and i just love his voice

[@juncipop]

i think they do that to produce more artists.. first, the winner himself, and the better one who takes home the second place.

[@norastack6110]

+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.

[@jebrielesoriano1457]

I think the same as you

[@kylezawaski3074]

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

[@sandraevans4082]

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

[@jamescotze2984]

still watching this in 2013! :) real phenomenal performances!

[@tedputee6135]

After so many years past, I still can't believe that he didn't win.

[@BBBYpsi]

Should have never been in the finals he forget his lyrics 3 times during the season. David Cook was much better & much more original

[@thegrinningcat5932]

+BBBYpsi you are super wrong David Archuleta is way better and cuter So chill

[@BBBYpsi]

There you have it only little girls voted for him because they thought he was cute.

[@SymphonyBrahms]

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.

[@gcomeaunyc]

You are so right!! Saw him Monday night at Highland Ballroom in NYC. He's still a knockout performer!!

[@perishwicky1541]

every body loves david

[@cassiecool22]

yes. i agree. he should have won. Until now, i cant let it go. really like hiim

[@classychic241]

Such a wonderful voice, he should of won

[@faustinaledesma3111]

Megusta que sea el ganador 😮🎉❤❤

[@nevinhaqueiroz476]

linda essa música

[@wisheduknew294]

I had a huge crush on him then & still do 14 years later! He needs to be my husband!❤

[@ronaldangel]

2022 👏👏👏

[@therandomstuff6837]

If you're here when you were in your late 20s You better be married 😂

[@JoEs_Do9]

What season was this tho

[@ferdie092470]

David should have won that time. But these girls who are the biggest voting block who'd go for a white male guy with a guitar won. I hope David would come back and make records. I miss his singing.

[@gingerdurbin1359]

ferdienakila He does make records.Most of them are about the gospel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. But not all. He just released s great Christmas album.

[@edsantosc]

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.

[@jameslacey460]

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.

[@ulistephanynapitupulu1218]

True

[@TheJAWS007]

He sings to my heart with that amazing and angelic voice.

[@katiexsevens]

David steals my heart every time I hear his voice, whether is comes over some PA system anywhere. I know that voice!!!

[@mariacappello2273]

I do cry everytime. How did you know?

[@alisonmorgan7238]

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

[@dreman1970]

He COMPLETELY outsang Cook in the finale......

[@ieyanynwa9]

Knock cook song out cold in the final..

[@samrlim]

David Archuleta is The Real American Idol !

[@mathewhorodner2000]

and Adam Lambert

[@NoteFromSELF]

​@mathewhorodner2000 Kris Allen won because he's from the South. I grew up in Arkansas, too.

[@pattinewbold7191]

That's right. 😊

[@johnthegreek5836]

He definitely should have won the competition

[@carolynntranmer9187]

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!

[@tieram5855]

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.

[@Klev5]

#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]

I got to meet and go to dinner with him he is such a down to earth guy.

[@nobodylikesjordo6979]

Don’t rekindle this David cook/ David archuleta feud my family had during this period of time 😂

[@tieram5855]

@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.

[@tieram5855]

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.

[@leecherduke4709]

It's been 12 years.. And it still hurts knowing that he didn't win season 7 😭💔

[@NoteFromSELF]

Really? He's okay.

[@bjc143211]

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!!!

[@scottcornelius2491]

He should have won. Probably one of the best voices on the planet

[@danielolson437]

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.

[@mrob75]

Spot on, Daniel with this comment from one year ago!

[@pattinewbold7191]

Exactly. We all know who the true winner was❤

[@davidthangjam3123]

Tats y he got 3.2k likes after 15 yrs,

[@benyatrock]

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.

[@pattinewbold7191]

Also, if you look at where David Cook is now and what he's accomplished compared to David Archuleta ? That says it all.

[@JanickaJaworska]

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.

[@johnmvhonduras3298]

I'm he's cousin from Honduras I got pictures with him in 2010 When he visited My country. 💪🏻💪🏻 #teamdavidarchie

[@chuckcolumbus6326]

JohnMV HONDURAS My name is Chuck bud

[@victorfrankenstein50202]

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.

[@wisheduknew294]

Exactly!!

[@mariacappello2273]

Brilliant. Heavily

[@conniem5053]

I still can't believe he didn't win....he was my American idol !!

[@MrLasvegasvic]

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.

[@augustlarsen4452]

I just went to his live concert tonight!! Best night ever!!!

[@samrlim]

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.

[@RFR12281990]

after all these years i still believe that Archie Won season 7Period

[@johnnypadilla4286]

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

[@larryheyes5743]

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.

[@CoreyChambersLA]

One of the most beautiful voices in the world. Great inspiration!

[@StephRivera]

I was lucky enough to get to see him in concert last night!

[@StephRivera]

And again last night

[@espino42001]

Oh, girl... you are two times lucky!! this guy is sooo humble, and sings with a very nice spirits 😇!

[@packertai1]

I saw him in concert two years in California! My favorite! 🥰

[@hmackie6823]

I love his voice...and I am not easy to please!

[@alicesalazar1501]

the best contestant and the best singer that American idol produce,david sings with his heart that's why.

[@fpinto2]

My favorite Idol ever. No one else I'd rather see live. Hurry back, David! #DA2014

[@nicholascisternino4760]

he was ripped off, just like Clay was... we all know why.

[@saga363]

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.

[@sunnyvaleria889]

Love his voice still listening to his incredible talent in 2021

[@mathewhorodner2000]

2023, almost 2024

[@michelehileman3568]

I’m still listening in 2024!

[@paulamccarthy259]

He has a magnificent voice! 💙

[@nancygregerson7970]

I still love watching him sing on American Idol!! He should have won! He's truly an American Idol❤❤❤❤❤

[@no_one514]

2022? His song "crush" was recommended on KZbin music and then I'm curious of where he is now that's why I decided to search his old videos here on KZbin and this clip of him is so magnificent. ♥️🥺

[@dioebads1538]

Oh archie... one of the amazing idol contestant. What a soulful performance 😍

[@texmustangbullitt]

Awesome! His talent and soul is so pure! Thank you God!

[@richardgomez9158]

texmustangbullitt Amen

[@betsterzsmith6937]

He is a missionary now.

[@mathewhorodner2000]

@@betsterzsmith6937 not anymore, he left the church because of his struggles with his sexuality

[@almaaragon7284]

That Voice

[@MP5141]

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.

[@donelookin3386]

The best that ever tried out for that show.... Love you David...

[@michelehileman3568]

I love you to .. your voice soothes my soul

[@michelehileman3568]

Too..

[@carlosingson3255]

Comeback in the PHILIPPINES :D you are so missed :)

[@johnanderson200]

Binge listening to this masterful artist.. May 2021

[@colleenp1481]

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!!

[@kylezawaski3074]

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

[@tieram5855]

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.

[@kaitlynnweller]

I hated that David won. Why couldn't David win???!!! Hahaha. No, but seriously. Archuleta foreverrrrr. X)

[@msizzygirl1]

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.

[@therealistOba]

I don't understand what happened?? he's perfect gosh are some people blind and deaf?

[@michellewest5742]

If you love him, do not miss his unbelievably beautiful Christmas songs as lead singer with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir --

[@Saywhatyousay1800]

he sang the life out of himself In this moment should have been recorded best song ever

[@samrlim]

Great Video - 5 Stars ! There is no doubt that David Archuleta is THE BEST THING EVER HAPPENED TO AMERICAN IDOL.

[@tieram5855]

He's the reason i still watch idol every year .

[@royjb007]

wow he has a strong voice

[@ryankelly8077]

How did he not win?! His performance was nearly perfect

[@mathewhorodner2000]

same with Adam Lambert the following year

[@NoteFromSELF]

The Southern Talibangelicals have nothing better to do than vote repeatedly for 2 hours.

[@josephinempundu4205]

I loved this young man on Idols 7. My family were captivated by his singing voice. David sung!

[@Balaboshka]

there is no doubt that he is GREAT. but i just want to say that this video is in really good quality. great uploud.

[@bobpocks]

i cry almost every time i listen to him sing that's good becasue I don't cry that much good job!!!!!!!

[@sofiaportillamera2668]

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)

[@elouise5593]

Yes, and if he had won, he might not have served a mission, so being 2nd place, was a actually a blessing, I think.

[@markmarks7039]

He just came out as gay

[@meenyminymoe]

Why is this very talented young man not as successful as he should be?

[@betsterzsmith6937]

He decided that serving God was more important than being a famous singer.

[@jianalim]

wow just wow he should have won truly this last 3 performance to the finale is a knock out.

[@christinaparker3307]

That was so awesome!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Love David Archuleta. Amazing singer. I listen to him everyday. He is truly a gift from god.

[@KittyLucas]

2019 anyone?

[@RandyR]

He is still singing and a Super star 🌟. Amazing looks an talent!

[@ritzginoo4678]

he has this beautiful soulful melody everytime he sings. love him

[@tieram5855]

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.

[@ieyanynwa9]

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..

[@gregtivles2878]

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!💙

[@risaandjesus]

Dang! His voice is incredible! George Micheal songs are dynamic and he beyond killed that song! This guy got it!!!

[@JimSignorelli]

He should have won!

[@kylezawaski3074]

Jim Signorelli no he sucks

[@hmackie6823]

I heard him sing with the Mormon Tabernacle...he's a Natural

[@hmackie6823]

how did he not WIN?

[@mathewhorodner2000]

it's rigged

[@bobpocks]

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!!!!!!!

[@norastack6110]

He was robbed

[@shilohbreigh3591]

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.😘😘😘😘❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@papicholo30]

THANK YOU SO MUCH,I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS PERFORMANCE SINCE 2008

[@samrlim]

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.

[@elouise5593]

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.

[@tieram5855]

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 .

[@klickssss8246]

Come on man, David Archuleta out sang the other David, in my opinion it really wasn't even close. The other David was just meh to me, I never understood the appeal, still don't. Just an opinion. :)

[@sarah300c1]

Beautiful voice

The sun will allways shine on YOU and your beautiful voice.❤😊

Doctor Who Af no he should not David cook was so munch better

So munch? Go munch on Cook. David A. was far superior than Cook.
