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.
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.
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!!!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 🌈
That was so awesome!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Love David Archuleta. Amazing singer. I listen to him everyday. He is truly a gift from god.
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!💙
#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 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.
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.
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.
2022? His song "crush" was recommended on UA-cam music and then I'm curious of where he is now that's why I decided to search his old videos here on UA-cam and this clip of him is so magnificent. ♥️🥺
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!!!!!!!
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 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.
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.
I was totally with Randy the whole time. He must have also been blown away when David A didn't win. Not that it mattered that much. He's the best perforer I've seen on AGT to this day. A decade and a half later. 😉
When David didnt win American idol. I stopped watching it. And then came Alejandro Aranda. They are so similar in so many ways. I absolutely admire them both.
You look at David and his smile already gives you all you need to be happy. Then he opens his mouth, starts to sing and then you realise he's pure love. Lord gave us one of the most perfect gifts. Thank you, God.
I was witness to his first audition, and feel in love with his unique tone, that raspy quality that I love. Then watched each of his performances and voted my a** off to help him win. Unfortunately, he came in second, to another David. The one performance I missed was his first singing of," Imagine". I had to go to the store, so I set the DVD recorder, but something went wrong and it cut out before the middle of the song. I had to piece together all the segments of the replays to get an idea of the whole performance. Bottom line: I like this guy's vibe/style, he's got that, "Je ne sais quoi" about him, that grabs my attention. And his impressiveness hasn't waned yet. Wish him all the success in his career. 💪🏻😆👍🏻🌈💖🧠🎶 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
David Archuleta is The Real American Idol !
and Adam Lambert
@mathewhorodner2000 Kris Allen won because he's from the South. I grew up in Arkansas, too.
That's right. 😊
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.
Spot on, Daniel with this comment from one year ago!
Exactly. We all know who the true winner was❤
Tats y he got 3.2k likes after 15 yrs,
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.
Also, if you look at where David Cook is now and what he's accomplished compared to David Archuleta ? That says it all.
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.
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.
True
He sings to my heart with that amazing and angelic voice.
David steals my heart every time I hear his voice, whether is comes over some PA system anywhere. I know that voice!!!
I do cry everytime. How did you know?
I had the opportunity to see him in concert at the Sandy amphitheater in Utah. Who is one of the best days of my life. He really is amazing❤
He definitely should have won the competition
After so many years past, I still can't believe that he didn't win.
Should have never been in the finals he forget his lyrics 3 times during the season. David Cook was much better & much more original
+BBBYpsi you are super wrong David Archuleta is way better and cuter
So chill
There you have it only little girls voted for him because they thought he was cute.
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.
You are so right!! Saw him Monday night at Highland Ballroom in NYC. He's still a knockout performer!!
The sun will allways shine on YOU and your beautiful voice.❤😊
I'm he's cousin from Honduras I got pictures with him in 2010 When he visited My country. 💪🏻💪🏻 #teamdavidarchie
JohnMV HONDURAS My name is Chuck bud
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!!!
I still can't believe he didn't win....he was my American idol !!
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!
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.
The best that ever tried out for that show.... Love you David...
He should have won. Probably one of the best voices on the planet
Great Video - 5 Stars !
There is no doubt that David Archuleta is THE BEST THING EVER HAPPENED TO AMERICAN IDOL.
He's the reason i still watch idol every year .
It's been 12 years.. And it still hurts knowing that he didn't win season 7 😭💔
Really? He's okay.
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
One of the most beautiful voices in the world. Great inspiration!
I just went to his live concert tonight!! Best night ever!!!
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
This is a young man who sings 200% as his mom would agree, you gotta put the 'heart' into the song, David always delivers!
That Voice
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.
Exactly!!
Brilliant. Heavily
My favorite Idol ever. No one else I'd rather see live. Hurry back, David! #DA2014

Binge listening to this masterful artist.. May 2021
Why is this very talented young man not as successful as he should be?
He decided that serving God was more important than being a famous singer.
the best contestant and the best singer that American idol produce,david sings with his heart that's why.
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.

He has a magnificent voice! 💙
I was lucky enough to get to see him in concert last night!
And again last night
Oh, girl... you are two times lucky!! this guy is sooo humble, and sings with a very nice spirits 😇!
I saw him in concert two years in California! My favorite! 🥰
I love his voice...and I am not easy to please!
That was so awesome!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Love David Archuleta. Amazing singer. I listen to him everyday. He is truly a gift from god.
Love his voice still listening to his incredible talent in 2021
2023, almost 2024
I still love watching him sing on American Idol!! He should have won! He's truly an American Idol❤❤❤❤❤
Oh archie... one of the amazing idol contestant. What a soulful performance 😍
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!💙
I love David Archuleta Forever!
Awesome! His talent
and soul is so pure! Thank you God!
texmustangbullitt Amen
He is a missionary now.
@@betsterzsmith6937 not anymore, he left the church because of his struggles with his sexuality
I think he has the voice of an angel i just love him..he is fantastic xx
after all these years i still believe that Archie Won season 7Period
All these songs stole my heart
Brings tears to my eyes!!!
How did he not win?!
His performance was nearly perfect
same with Adam Lambert the following year
The Southern Talibangelicals have nothing better to do than vote repeatedly for 2 hours.
He was the best American Idol Best voice.
David, I have always loved you. I love you still; I love you even more!
I loved this young man on Idols 7. My family were captivated by his singing voice. David sung!
what a voice so beautiful for a young man greeting from Belgium
~David Archuleta~forever the REAL season 7 AMERICAN IDOL!
#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!
I got to meet and go to dinner with him he is such a down to earth guy.
Don’t rekindle this David cook/ David archuleta feud my family had during this period of time 😂
@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.
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.
wow just wow he should have won truly this last 3 performance to the finale is a knock out.
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.
2022? His song "crush" was recommended on UA-cam music and then I'm curious of where he is now that's why I decided to search his old videos here on UA-cam and this clip of him is so magnificent. ♥️🥺
Comeback in the PHILIPPINES :D you are so missed :)
He is still singing and a Super star 🌟. Amazing looks an talent!
My favourite singer. He is talented hoping he would be joining one of the The Voice judges soon🙏🏼❤️
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!!!!!!!
Mucho exitos Mi David
Dang! His voice is incredible! George Micheal songs are dynamic and he beyond killed that song! This guy got it!!!
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
You are born to be a singer wow I love the way you sing so emotional
i cry almost every time i listen to him sing that's good becasue I don't cry that much good job!!!!!!!
I heard him sing with the Mormon Tabernacle...he's a Natural
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.
i agree. he was much better. he has such a heavenly voice. i have all his albums and i just love his voice
i think they do that to produce more artists.. first, the winner himself, and the better one who takes home the second place.
+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.
I think the same as you
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
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.😘😘😘😘❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
he has this beautiful soulful melody everytime he sings. love him
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.
his range is is rediculously fantabulous
wow he has a strong voice
He won in my opinion! Love him still!!❤❤❤
In this moment ❤
He was a winner from the beginning ❤
Still an all time favorite for me! Love your voice and who you are!
Beautiful voice
I was totally with Randy the whole time. He must have also been blown away when David A didn't win. Not that it mattered that much. He's the best perforer I've seen on AGT to this day. A decade and a half later. 😉
please come back david... we miss you
I bet John legend was dancing when he sang imagine
Terrific performances!!!
He COMPLETELY outsang Cook in the finale......
Knock cook song out cold in the final..
He was the winner fell
On love back then
there is no doubt that he is GREAT. but i just want to say that this video is in really good quality. great uploud.
Stunning. You WON in my eyes
Still one of my favorites
The sun is shining on you David. Live your life your way.❤❤❤😂😊😊😊
He was my winner
If you love him, do not miss his unbelievably beautiful Christmas songs as lead singer with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir --
THANK YOU SO MUCH,I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS PERFORMANCE SINCE 2008
When David didnt win American idol. I stopped watching it. And then came Alejandro Aranda. They are so similar in so many ways. I absolutely admire them both.
Wow you should've really watched the season after that. Adam Lambert was phenomenal!
I stopped watching after Adam Lambert didn’t win😅
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)
Yes, and if he had won, he might not have served a mission, so being 2nd place, was a actually a blessing, I think.
He just came out as gay
Both he and Cook would have deserved the win equally! I loved both of them!
2019 anyone?
He was the best!
You look at David and his smile already gives you all you need to be happy. Then he opens his mouth, starts to sing and then you realise he's pure love. Lord gave us one of the most perfect gifts. Thank you, God.
I voted on David my favorite of all timy
he sang the life out of himself In this moment should have been recorded best song ever
Just a beautiful human being
I cried so much when he lost....
still watching this in 2013! :) real phenomenal performances!
STILL the best EVER!
He's an amazing singer
I was witness to his first audition, and feel in love with his unique tone, that raspy quality that I love. Then watched each of his performances and voted my a** off to help him win.
Unfortunately, he came in second, to another David.
The one performance I missed was his first singing of," Imagine".
I had to go to the store, so I set the DVD recorder, but something went wrong and it cut out before the middle of the song.
I had to piece together all the segments of the replays to get an idea of the whole performance.
Bottom line: I like this guy's vibe/style, he's got that,
"Je ne sais quoi" about him, that grabs my attention.
And his impressiveness hasn't waned yet.
Wish him all the success in his career.
