David Archuleta was pretty emotional meeting Mariah and she had some great advice. She also said she is proud of who he is as a person and that his singing is beautiful. He sang “When You Believe” and he was great!!!! This song is not only a Mariah song but she sang it with Whitney Houston and he still worked it out. Randy said it was the bomb! Paula said he made Mariah proud. Simon said it was really, really good.

[...] Archuleta did a good job with “When You Believe,” but I didn’t think it was as good as the judges thought it to …. It was a solid vocal, but David really needs to prove that he isn’t a one trick pony at this [...]
He was great. He was amazing. It’s the kind of music I’d listen to over and over again without hurting my ears. Go Archuleta! For the win!
Love David – but did you notice the leather pants? Those have got to go.
He’s a talented kid and I couldn’t believe he picked a song that was done at a duet by the two power divas! Go David.
I’m not a big David A fan. It’s just not my style of music and I haven’t always gotten the appeal. But even I was impressed by his performance. He really did a great job with this song.
He did an amazing job. For a guy to sing a girls song like that is fantastic. I was very impressed. The song is quite hard, so go David!
David is awesome and I truly he will put his money where his mouth is and be a humanatarian like Clay Aiken has, Go David
Loved his awesome vocal, and loved the funky leather pants!
Great singer, just waiting for the performance that seals the deal. He has it in him.
I think D.A. is a one trick pony. He has a nice voice but he makes every song sounds the same as every other song he has sung. And he schlumps around the stage like Eyore until he clicks into a robotic performance of yet another snooze inducing ballad. Great control… no soul.
i’m gonna say what i’ve been saying since i saw this kid audition… VOICE OF AN ANGEL. it’s that simple. david i absolutely adore you. <3<3<3 good luck in the finaleee! i’ll be up voting for you all nighttt. 0:) <3
