I was at the Rockford VIP and David is, hands down, the very best singer I have ever heard in my entire life. Everyone else pales by comparison.....sheer perfection.
David never disappoints when it comes to patriotic songs.No wonder he is asked to perform the National Anthem, or God Bless America, time and time again!! People can count on him to sing these songs beautifully EVERYTIME!
David NEVER disappoints! What a voice! What spirit! Ahhhhhh - he just makes you glad to be an American, doesn't he? I just love how he puts his own spin on the song, but keeps it true to the original. His artistry is unmatched. Way to go David!
Wow! David is really making his mark in the world! He's had successful concert tours, has sung the National Anthem and other patriotic songs at several venues, and has recently won an ALMA award! Those of us who love David always knew he was destined for superstardom! David's talent and humble spirit make him so worthy of all of his success!!!
I watched this for 5 1/2 hrs last night... and first thing this morning..my heart is still pounding with pride...Makes me so proud to call myself a fan of the Archuleta...winning over the music world , one performance at a time.... sigh......What an amazing talent.
Not only was every person that listened to David in awe...I'll also bet those marines were bursting with pride as well..... Oh David you are so amazing..u just keep on doing just what you are doing. You make us all so proud..love David.
No words to describe how David makes you feel when he sings.....He has a God given talent and he is using that talent they way it was intended....He is such a beautiful person ...Inside and out.
I can't stop watching this video. David just when I think you can't sing anymore beautiful, you prove me wrong. This performance is so amazing, I can't even express how much it means to me. I love my country and this is the best version I have ever heard in my whole life. OH MY GOODNESS, David you are so special. BEAUTIFUL so BEAUTIFUL
Absolute PERFECTION. Loved David the second he appeared on Idol. He is humble, adorable, way beyond talented, a role model to young people. He didn't need to "win" Idol to be a winner in every sense of the word.
you need to stop making up stories, I was in fact there and this was live, not pre-recorded, some were there for the rehearsals, but just accept he was that good!
archiefan11. I am glad I am not the only one that can't stop watching this video. I almost didn't go to sleep last night. I also listened to it first thing this morning. DO YOU THINK WE need help??? NO, just listen to more of David!!! He sure is awesome and as nice as he is great. I met him in Hershey and he is a sweetheart. Good luck with your addiction!!! I am right there with you.
David's performances always outshine the actual event This is no exception. Utterly and completely fantastic. My body, once again, was engulfed in chills watching and listening to David.
icgrag: Please thank your son for his service. My son was in Iraq and I know how difficult it is to share your son with the country. I am so glad you got to hear David sing this song. I really beleive he feels so much respect for your son and what he does. His smile when he saw the Marines says so much. David was there to sing for them and his country not for himself.
David is awesome and so, so talented. This was a truly great performance. If you haven't seen him sing "Contigo En La Distancia" on the ALMA awards, do yourself a favor and watch it too! Another absolutely beautiful performance - and in perfect Spanish no less! David we love you! You rock!
Omg I love this boy he is just glorious & sooooo special. His voice has the greatest "texture" to it I have ever heard he never screams or sounds high pitched, only perfect.
David has the most beautiful emotional voice in music today! No on sings a song like David, greatest male singer in music today! I watch this at least once a day. lol
I love the kind of clarity and sincerity of his voice whenever he sings. He beautifully communicates the meaning and purpose of the songs and doesn't try to show off his singing abilities for the sake of doing so. He skillfully lends his voice to the songs to give the music and lyrics the recognition they deserve. David is truly an amazing artist
I am really so proud of you singing America The Beautiful in a huge stadium with a large audience and a big flag displayed. You have an outstanding performance. Your cute voice goes with your cute looks. I love to hear it!
What an honor for David to be asked to do this, and a beautiful, heartfelt rendition of this wonderful song. Yes, I will buy his Christmas album, and I'm a 56-year-old man. I bet it will be amazing because he'll believe every word he sings.
Brought tears to my eyes. David is the king of patriotic songs. Reverant and powerful just like the United States of America and it's people. Love you David
wkyken: I am also NOT a teenager. I just love David. I met him and he truly believes in his country. If you haven't heard some of his Christmas songs from last year on you tube. You will see how much he puts into a song when he sings about God . I can't wait for this album. He is truly a wonderful singer and put so much emotioin into his singing. He is gaining more and more fans. I am so happy for him, he deserves all the success he is having.
This performance is simply amazing! The only thing I can remark is that they could have come up with a piano accompaniment that fits David's soulful style of singing better. I hope this gig will get him somewhere...
Archie is just an amazing singer. He's always amazed me everytime he sings. Sometimes he even brings me to tears of joy! I love him very much! He's giving me the goosebumps right now. I think i'm in heaven... =D
Anyone who knows about voice and singing...Is there a "method", way or whatever that David is doing here to bring out that deliciously textured sound come out of him? Something about the sound of his voice in this performance that's got me so addicted to it!
Towards the end of the video when the announcer said "ladies and gentlemen, David ARchuleta!". The audience was pretty enthusiastic in their response. I know by experience that David live is so amazingly different compared to the videos of his performances on youtube. He is super amazing live. As far as his breathiness, you do notice it but it doesn't take away from the beauty of his voice. If you watch Maria Carey and Whitney HOuston singing "When You Believe", they are pretty breathy.
I still get the chills when I listen to his version of this beautiful. A very befitting tribute for today, Memorial Day and to our brave troops. Thank you David.
I don't know why people always mention David's breathing. I hear other singers do the same thing. And he can already sing circles around 98 percent of the singers I'm hearing on the radio today. And I'm being generous with that figure. lol
That was an absolutely amazing performance!Just when I think he couldnt get any better! He is truly one of a kind . I love his tweet on 9/11. Listening through America The Beautiful since I'm singing it at the US Open this weekend. Reflecting on its meaning especially on this day. This is what makes him so good! He feels the meaning and emotion in each song- we feel it too David!
WOW! This HQ version is absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much, especially for those of us who couldn't get the live feed of the performance! and, David, well, how does he keep surprising us with his brilliance? He is LOVE!!
At this point in time, no one can sing better than Archie's version and rendition of this song. His voice is exceptionally beyond amazing. He sends chills to listeners by the emotion conveyed in his vocals. He sings with sincere feelings outpouring to his audience.
I love that man at about 1:01 that you could see said "He's good" . This was so amazing, I can't believe I almost forgot about it! That part at about 1:48 is amazing. 2:35 and on was just chills.
I was at the Rockford VIP and David is, hands down, the very best singer I have ever heard in my entire life. Everyone else pales by comparison.....sheer perfection.
Best male voice in music I will continue to say it, no one has that gorgeous tone to their voices like David, it's a true gift!
David never disappoints when it comes to patriotic songs.No wonder he is asked to perform the National Anthem, or God Bless America, time and time again!! People can count on him to sing these songs beautifully EVERYTIME!
