My thinking is, Simon Fuller and 19 Entertainment have an already drawn up contract to set before him at such a time when he is finished on the show. I have a feeling it'll be a long run to the end! ..... marti

If John Lennon ... ( 2 months ago by MusicMadMaurice)

If John Lennon hadn't wanted anyone to cover this song, he wouldn't have published it. But he did publish it so that means he wanted others to sing it.

He is a very talented young singer, BUT you never sing lennon's songs whilst using technique, because (in my eyes , or ears at any rate) it destroys the song. but that's only mine and my friends views.

What a strange ... ( 1 month ago by MusicMadMaurice)

What a strange vitriolic reply to my positive comment. You obviously don't know of the medical problems that can stem from overuse of the voice in the formative years. David is 17 and his physical development won't be complete for another 5 years or so. Overuse of his voice by the TV industry could ruin his vocal chords. Besides, you have missed my other point. I am saying that David's voice will develop over the next 10 years and I look forward to that. You seem to say he has peeked already. GF

This performance is PERFECTION..the voice, the pitch, the tone, the emotions and interpretation! Way to go David! Arch angels this is a long ride for david!

My niece loves this ... ( 4 weeks ago by heymossy)

My niece loves this show and got me to check out this singer. With respects to my young niece, this version makes me very sad. This David kid obviously has talent. But I hate to think that teenagers out there would associate this blandly superficial rendition with actual talent. Lennon was a great vocalist because his voice conveyed emotion - not because he sang well. There was no emotion in this version. The judges should be ashamed of their praise. David needs a vocal coach who knows this.

Absolutely felt. ( 3 weeks ago by chicafresa7)

Both David's ... ( 2 weeks ago by wlhardy)

Both David's version and Lennon's version of this song are excellent but I will always prefer David's version, whenever I hear "Imagine" sung by Lennon, I think of David. I heard that even Yoko herself said that David did a wonderful job with "Imagine," & I bet John would have thought so, too. No one else on the show could have done justice to "Imagine," and I think David picked a wonderful song (he'd been singing it for quite a few years). One of the best Idol performances ever!

My niece, who ... ( 2 weeks ago by heymossy)

My niece, who wasn't happy about my comment, said I should respond to this. The suggestion that Master David's limp rendition of this song is even close to Lennon's masterpiece makes me wonder as to the caliber of music teenagers today are listening to. Does wlhady listen to much music or is he\she this comment only a way to elicit the kind of response I'm providing. May I suggest wlhady spend some time listening to more styles of music before they make such a silly public declaration.

Hi, heymossy! I am ... ( 2 weeks ago by wlhardy)

Hi, heymossy! I am 49 & have been listening to music all my life, I NEVER watch TV, I listen to my CDs of 50s, 60s & 70s music. I am familiar with a lot of 80s & 90s but have avoided music since "the turn of the century" because I think pop music for the most part has gone downhill. I also love the Beatles, by the way. I am not the only person in the world that thinks DA did a fantastic job, his rendition is what put him in the map, I also love Lennon's version, both are terrific.

I'm not trying to ... ( 2 weeks ago by wlhardy)

I'm not trying to elict any kind of response, just stating my opinion, I don't believe it's a silly public declaration. I think any other contestant trying to sing "Imagine" would not have done as well. David treated every song he sang with respect & never ventured from the songwriter's message. Coincidentally I heard Lennon's version yesterday on XM & it's David's voice that went through my head! Like I said earlier, I think both David & John's versions are wonderful--I just prefer David's.

1. One of THE BEST RENDITION FOR THE NEW GENERATION OF IMAGINE.
2. DAVID ARCHULETA IS GIFTED HE DELIVER HIS SONG SO BEAUTIFULLY AND WITH CLARITY AND YOU CAN FEEL IT.
3. YOU CANNOT DENY THAT HE RESUSCITATED THE SONG BACK TO LIFE - PEOPLE GOT INTERESTED ABOUT THE SONG IMAGINE AGAIN.

I'm sorry if I ... ( 6 days ago by heymossy)

I'm sorry if I offended you. Obviously people's music tastes differ. I will agree that young David has exceptional range. His ability to sing ballads in the manner of the original artists shows not only talent, but dedication as well. In fact, you could say that young David has a voice reminiscent of a young Paul McCartney or a young John Lennon. You will notice in their early works that they sang well but they did not attempt emotionally complex music. Music of this sort was beyond them.

As McCartney and ... ( 6 days ago by heymossy)

As McCartney and Lennon matured emotionally, their ability to infuse their music with emotion similarly grew. This is always the key for a great singer, particularly a ballad singer. Notes are nice, but emotion is essential. In this version Mr. David isn't just copying Lennon's style, he is attempting to parrot Lennon's emotion. That is what spoils the song. David is not ready. He has the talent to get there, but he's no where close yet. Copying isn't the same as having. He needs to learn that.

One of the best ... ( 7 hours ago by samrlim)

One of the best interpretation and rendition of IMAGINE ever done what an amazing talent who could ever think for a 17 years old kid can ever deliver such a song so beautifully with feeling and emotion. He resuscitated this song back to life and make people get interested again with song IMAGINE. All I can say this boy is really gifted and you never get tired listening to him.
