Archuleta Saw "Angels" Way Before Idol

David Archuleta made it seem like he just found the song "Angels" for his performance last night -- shame, shame, everybody knows your name -- it's been in his repertoire for years!


Check out a pre-"Idol" David singing (and perfecting) the Robbie Williams song back in 2005. This isn't the first time he's pulled out one of his old standards either -- he did the same thing with "Imagine."

46. Almost all of the contestents have mentioned when asked, (WHY that song). Almost all responded that they have been their favorites over the years. What's the question here?

47. I agree with how OVERATED he is. He sooooo needs to clear the mucus out of his throat. I can't stand to hear him sing. He sounds like a cross between someone constipated/needs to clear throat. He's a wanna be like I've never seen before. He fronts like he just woke up one morning and was discovered on American Idol, when in reality, his dad has been pimping him out to talent shows since birth...good grief...give it up! He is not American Idol material.

48. I happen to think David Archuleta is an awesome and inspiring singer.

I like some of the other singers, but David A. is my favorite; I really hope he has a chance at winning.

49. So what if he sang it before?? Carly sang a song a few weeks ago that she had performed before and no one jumped all over her.

50. Carel,

I understand David has a crazy father and he's been from one competition to another, but he doesn't need to be so peaches n'cream. He needs a bit of spunk. He almost comes off as being afraid of his own shadow. Maybe because of his dad, but still, any bit of spunkiness would help.

51. This is news? This video has been on YouTube for ages. Get over it. Go chase some celebutantes TMZ.

52. At least he is not singing the same song over and over on the program, like Kristy Lee Cook with Amazing Grace.

53. It's kinda hard to turn it off when he's on the show I'm watching...FYI...I do mute the tv now. Saves me the frustration.

54. TMZ: SO?

55. Listen to the haters ,,,, he doesn't have to be so sweet, peaches and cream blah blah blah. You people scare me when you trash someone for being nice? I guess you didn't do enough bullying in school or maybe you were the one that got picked on for all the zits on your face and now it's your turn to give it back.

David in my opinion appears to be nice young man that hasn't been jaded or brought down yet. Maybe if he becomes a drug addict or a womanizer you'll relate better

57. TMZ needs to not waste their time on stupid stories like this... Go write ANOTHER story about Britney or something!

58. David has everyone in a spell like Obama, he looks good and sounds good but is he the best talent of the group No !!!

59. This kid is either stupid or a liar. He started the season, all the way back during auditions saying...ooohhhh people really think I'm a good singer? I thought they just said that because I'm a kid" hhhhhhmmmmm is that what winning star search means? Is that why your daddy brought you to the very first AI auditions and you stood there in the hotel lobby singing to the contestants? Is that what being invited to another country to sing means? NOTE: He never mentioned about his early singing career until further in the competition, after giving the entire country the old gee golly I'm good? look. GET OVER YOURSELF DAVID or is it your daddy? He's a good singer but he's just a little boy trying to get away from his controlling father. He's been acting like he's so unaware of his talent and that makes him too young and naive for this competition. He thinks he's fooling everyone, every week. If he keeps relying on his father to pick his songs and tell him how to dress, he will end up like some of the other "Idols". The little girls who vote for him will tire of him quickly when all of his sound is the same, as it has this entire competition. Go sing for Disney David, you will always have a fan base.

60. There is nothing wrong to do a song that he sang before. This is a competition where the audience choose and cast their votes.

If you do not like him, don't vote for him and don't watch the programme. Those that think the American Idols programme owe them a living, you are wrong! There are many others who like the programme and also like David Archuleta. ( As well as other contestants. )

All the contestants got what it takes to be where they are today. So let them be themselves and the winner will be born real soon!
