I cannot tell you how many times I have watched and listened to this performance, on UA-cam, or my TV or one of David's fan sites - I will tell you that he did a beautiful job. The more I hear it, the more I love it.
OMG......This performance is so beautiful... he probably moved whole crowd... I think he can be on broadway musical someday.. I LOVE DAVID ARCHULETA!!!
LTDJA: You know what, let them pull the other video and hide it, its views are still growing. Lets just keep building this one. It is already to 9 thousand. Unless they pull them off completly any video of this unbelievable preformance will grow, David is outstanding. I can't even begin to say how proud i am of him and how he sings this beautiful song. I can't wait for his Christmas album.
Don't forget he only had the piano playing along with him of course you're going to hear him breathing not to mention the echo in that large stadium. I for one loved his performance. It was unbelievable and gave me chills. Love you David.
My goodness. From 2:26 to the end. His voice just soared through the air. Unbelievable. I am soo proud of you David. A perfect person to represent our country. Love you.
your videos are always so beautiful. David was so wonderful and he made America proud with that breath taking performance. Thanks so much for recording it!
Thanks Lisa for posting this! Although I recorded it and have it on my dvr - this is easier access when I "NEED" to hear it...which has been about 400 and eleveteen times. His voice soared which makes my heart soar :)
i lovee my man Daviddd. this was so amazinggg!!! he always is!!! thank god for youtube cause i Ti-Voed the wrong thing. haha oh well! i love you David!
I agree with what you all say...well, not bhebuntan, haha. I don't have to check out Contigo, I've watched it a million times. It's the most magnificent thing he has ever done. It IS a pop song, which is his forte. His breathing, phrasing, structuring, everything, was masterful. When I heard his long, deep breath before his first note, I knew that all would be well. Breathing and singing are One.
Wow, i love his singing, his voice is so beautiful. btw, i noticed 0:17 - 0:21 how it's noticable he looks older than he did last year. The boy grew up... but he's still cute (: i guess it's that killer smile combined w/ that awesome personality ♥
raythespian: You are really caught up with the way David breaths. Why do you watch the different video's if you don't like him? I have watched all the video's because I love them. You watch to see how he breaths??? I don't get it? His verison of Oh Holy Night is the best I have ever heard. I can't even figure out why ANYONE would say anything negative about David? Oh yes, his producers are smart. They have DAVID.. They will let him sing as he has been singing. They know he is the BEST.
raythespian: I have no idea why you would say such things about David. Have you met him? Do you know his mentality?? Have you heard him sing in person? Well, I have and you are so wrong about him. He is young, but not a child. He is more mature in how he treats people than most adults I know. He wouldn't even be mean to you if he read what you wrote about him. He is an amazing singer and an even more amazing person. If don't like him fine, but please be respectful. David YOU were awesome!
I'm the only one on this thread who does care about David. I don't want him to be a laughing stock among people whose musical sophistication goes beyond teen pop. btw I have been to 2 of his concerts, and his is one of the best pop singers in the business. It's the classical genre that he doesn't understand...yet.
hi viennamay.Really, I think the gasps were not noticeable & not even worth mentioning, given David's absolutely pitch perfect soulful emotive rendition. I wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't mentioned it.I've noticed many artists even do that specifically for effect.But this is a side effect of the vocal paralysis David overcame.Sorry but IMHO when others bring up the gasp, I think they're being trivial & looking for something to pick on.VFTW carried it too far&haters picked on him for that.
"for purple moun(breath)tains majesty, above the frui(breath)ted plain, shi(breath)ning sea." He doesn't have the breath control or the mentality to sing classical type songs. He's a child, after all.
I love his voice, and like him as a singer very much, however, he must learn to avoid breaths in the middle of words...'moun - (breath) - tain', 'shin - (breath) ing' sea.. But beautiful voice.
Lord have Mercy!! The more I watch it and hear it the more I LOVE IT!! He is a MASTER at his craft!!
The BUZZ has been unbelievabe!!
I cannot tell you how many times I have watched and listened to this performance, on UA-cam, or my TV or one of David's fan sites - I will tell you that he did a beautiful job. The more I hear it, the more I love it.
Proud to be an American and prouder YET to be a David Archuleta fan!! The perfect choice to perform this song!
OMG......This performance is so beautiful... he probably moved whole crowd...
I think he can be on broadway musical someday..
I LOVE DAVID ARCHULETA!!!

Eh, to each his own. David's performance of this song fills me with pride and patriotism.

he was awesome!!! he sang so well!
side note: i've never really seen him dress that way before. not that it matters.
I'm the only one on this thread who does care about David. I don't want him to be a laughing stock among people whose musical sophistication goes beyond teen pop. btw I have been to 2 of his concerts, and his is one of the best pop singers in the business.

excuse me, umm.... THANK YOU!!!!!
"Oh Holy Night" is coming....David has been singing "di(breath)vine" for years. It will be interesting to see if the producer has any brains.
it might be...
he still sounds amazing for his one vocal cord though
hi viennamay.Really, I think the gasps were not noticeable & not even worth mentioning, given David's absolutely pitch perfect soulful emotive rendition.

Wow, just amazing. His voice is so full of emotion. He needs to sign for a White House major event. Come on Obama girls, talk to your Dad!
"for purple moun(breath)tains majesty,
above the frui(breath)ted plain,
shi(breath)ning sea."
He doesn't have the breath control or the mentality to sing classical type songs. He's a child, after all.
I love his voice, and like him as a singer very much, however, he must learn to avoid breaths in the middle of words...'moun - (breath) - tain', 'shin - (breath) ing' sea.. But beautiful voice.
Could it be that Raythespian is a disgruntled cook fan due to Archies accomplishments?
S.T.U.N.N.I.N.G.
nuf said.
I think because he's a bit nervous.
I think Ray Charles would be proud.
make that "sing" for a major White House event
