Just finished watching the boys sing on American Idol and I gotta tell you......no one will remember who sang what after David's rendition of John Lennons - Imagine. Absolutely flawless and moving performance. So he won on Star Search, So he has a vocal coach so,so so....It only means that he is serious about his craft and wants to take it to the next level. Any of you that dog him for wanting to succeed should take a long hard look at yourself. We all should have this much drive! Keep it up David the sky's the limit!

I have never heard a rendition of Imagine done in that way, i dont know how he did it but he did. he is an exceptional singer with great song choices. the show should end now because he is obviously the best one by far.

You blew the competition away tonight! My son who does promotion for Velvet Hammer records made us rewind the TIVO and watch your performance 3 times. It's saying something when a 26 year-old male (who has an ear for music) respects a great vocal. He is working with a local Dallas, TX based band One Minute Halo and they are in the studio recording with the Grammy nominee band PILLAR (christian rock).
You have many records deals coming your way. Kudos!

I think its hillarious how ernest finds gay an insult. I agree, i see a lot of the same signs in him. He has that shy sensibility that I seemed to have before I came out..
Either way he'll win
Davis Says:
February 27th, 2008 1:36 AM
David Dude..you are nothing short of amazing. you sang 'imagine' with such clarity and in depth feeling that I don't think anyone in the competition comes close.
Your unabashed sweetness and charismatic prescence on stage and off is real, honest and captivating. You are going to touch every single person who hears you. I'll watch every week to experience you and you alone. You will be the idol and your journey will take you farther and deeper than you ever anticipated. Always be true to yourself and stay the humble beautiful spirited soul that you are!

I think he took the teeth out of Imagine by cutting all the anti-religious lyrics out of it. I don't know if John Lennon would be happy. But, that's what being brainwashed by a religious cult like mormonism will do to you. I have little doubt the elision was because he didn't dare say anything as bold and beautiful as "Imagine there's no Heaven," one of the great opening lyrics of all time. And, as for the gay issue...as long as he is a mormon, don't be expecting any coming out stories (though he might really straight, but I doubt it.)

Jeez, here some people go with the "is he gay or not" stuff. Can't a guy be cute and sensitive without assuming he's gay? If he was unattractive nobody would wonder if he's gay, you know what I mean? It's 2008 people, grow the hell up, his personal life is not our business.
John in San Diego (again) Says:
February 27th, 2008 6:35 AM
Sorry, I have one last comment. He reminds me of a young Donny Osmond. Cute, great smile, confident but modest, people are drawn to his natural charm like a magnet. And I'm pretty sure he'll age well, he has an interesting bloodline. All he needs to remember is to smile and the world will be his. David WILL do well in life as a singer or not as a singer because he's simply a good person. I'm not a religious guy, but I'll say Bless You, David. I just learned of you tonight while goofing off on the Internet, saw some videos of you on YouTube, and I was mesmerized.
p.s. I know you'll read this some day when you're bored in front of the computer, lol.

(^.^) you can really can be a SUPERSTAR dudez..I mean you already have so many people here to support ya all the way...Good Luck in everything you do ya!!! Will keep supporting ya!!! David rulez! =)

David without doubt is very gifted. Here's the bad news...
Most often what happens with gifted people in this world is that post-haste they are exploited, elevated to god-like levels, and stalked by fans that lead the "gifted person" to be isolated and walled off from their humanity to others.
David will be no exception, most everything many people see in David now-sincerity, his love for music and his soul injection, will now have to be fought for vigorously by David and his family and his true friends if he is to survive as a person now that time cannot be turned back to live a "normal" life we all live.
David, if you ever read these posts, good luck and God bless, you have an uphill fight with your deserved but double-edged fame.

Soooo.....he sang a Dreamgirls song when he was 11 (before the movie made it popular), and some of you think he's straight?? Although I agree with the other people, it really isn't any of our business. What IS our business is how awesome of a talent he is. He is the ONLY Idol that I'd actually buy a ticket to see in concert. He is simply amazing. Good luck David!!
John Says:

It's unfortunate that a young man who is genuine, humble, and incredibly talented is assumed to be deficient in some way. If a kid today has to curse, drink and do drugs to be considered a real man, then our society is in sad shape. When I first saw David early in the competition, I thought he was great. Finding out that he goes to church is just icing on the cake.
My wife and I listened to David's version of Imagine 10 times tonight. The first three times I had to turn my back so she couldn't see my eyes. Anyone who stirs that kind of emotion is a special talent, regarless of age or anything else.
Go David Archuleta!

David is an absolutely beautiful singer. Straight or Gay, it doesn't define the person he will become. This boy has a lot going for him, and I look forward to seeing him grow and excel in the music industry. His voice is phenomenal. When I first heard him audition, I thought he was a great singer, but was not sure what more he had. Like so many that come up there, one is good, but the rest are horrible. I've consistantly seen nothing but pure harmony in his voice. He's a wonderful talent, a great find and a wonderful person. Good Luck David, you are a god send.
