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."

91. HE NEVER SAID HE JUST FOUND THIS SONG. HE SAID THAT HE WAS THINKING OF INSPIRATIONAL SONGS AND THIS ONE STUCK OUT. YOU GUYS ARE REALLY STRETCHING TO FIND SOMETHING NEGATIVE ABOUT THIS KID.

95. You know, all of you bashing David A----it's just a shame you just don't get him! This kid reflects something in us that makes us feel really really good about life and in each other. Those of you that do not "get him" are really missing out. You guys really sound like miserable people. Maybe one of these days, you'll "wake-up" and get a chance to feel the joy that David brings to our lives. In the meantime, it is your choice to stay connected to your hatred. You are the ones loosing out.

TMZ--this includes you! Leave David A. alone---your negative publicity makes you look really really pathetic.

96. Oh TMZ...get a life!

Everybody in the whole wide world knows that David sung this song before in high school/church, unless you have been sleeping under a rock that is.....it's a NON-STORY!

David A. is the most amazing, humble, honest and sincere contestant to ever grace the AI stage, and to attempt to belittle him the way you do TMZ is just plain wrong. For Shame!

FTMFW ARCHULETA !!!!!!

97. Replay to post #26

you wrote... "As far as the David thing is concerned he is being pimped by AI to win, however, I think he will have the least album sales of any winner, as he appeals mostly to pre teen girls, who don't buy CD's."

Wow... then who is buying Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus CDs and tickets? Yeah, them kids don't have any money... but their PARENTS do!!

Archuletology, coming soon to a mindless sheep near you.

100. Amazing someone could sing the same song more than once in their lifetime. No story here what so ever.

101. Does anyone actually think that any of these singers have never performed before? I'm amazed how quick people are to jump on David A. David Cook is the one that is overrated. Every time I see his giant head I nearly puke! Even Simon thought he was "pompous"!

102. To #91 NJKnight, thank you so much for your added comment---you just made my point about pathetic people perfectly.
Keep up the good work. The mindless sheep inside of you shines brightly!

103. Teresa - I'll be fine so long as I keep away from whatever Kool-Aid you've been drinking, thanks.

104. BLAH BLAH BLAH TMZ WHY ARE YOU PICKING ON THIS KID It's their JOB!!!!!!!!!!! Just like most of you said, if you don't like his music you don't have to listen. Same applies for reading people. I LOVE the story, it show what a PHONY BALONEY this kid is. Ohh really Simon, you think I'm that good? Geee wilikers Batman people like me. cue audience : aaaawwwwww. LOL Everyone is getting all defensive over a kid on a show. Followers lol If that's what you called yourself before this season of AI LMAO I must get some Lemmings for myself.

His little aaawww shucks attitude is wearing thin with people, it won't be long.

105. NJKnight---why are you so intent on proving my point. Your just keep digging yourself into a deeper and deeper darker hole---please come up for air---there is actually light up here. It's a wonderful and loving light. Sometimes a person's ego keeps them pinned down so they can't see what's in front of them. I wish you love and luck and an open heart someday. If not through David A., maybe some other singer or musical message will effect you in a positive and loving way. My best wishes for you and a wonderful and loving future. Anymore further comments from you I hope will be positive and loving ones. Anything else will reflect un "unconscious" state of mind. I love you NJKnight, even though you are not loving yourself very much right now---but I have enough love for the two of us! No Koolaid here---just pure awareness of spirit---that is who you truly are. You've just forgotten.
