David Archuleta has been a popular topic today… after I blogged about him yesterday, it would appear that I’m not alone in wanting to get him to record his own version of OneRepublic’s Apologize.

So, with you – the David Archuleta lover in mind, I decided it was time we got a petition together that we could – provided we get enough signatures – present to his record label and hopefully get Apologize whizzing around in our CD player sometime soon.

If you love it then head over to the site, and lets get this single out there!

David has what my husband calls “the perfect crunch” in his voice – like a guitar. I love how he crunches this song. For what it’s worth, to my ear, he owned Tedder.

Mr.p…. I haven’t seen much of David Cook doing anything that’s not American Idol either. Have you? David Archuleta is on an album Fear vs. Faith, and he sings both of the songs on the album and it’s not with American Idol. Just because someone doesn’t win American Idol doesn’t mean they don’t go anywhere. Blake Lewis got an album out before Jordin Sparks and he didn’t win.

[...] Evelina Sewerin singing “Apologize.” This is the same song that David Archuleta sang with the original artists One Republic on the American Idol finale. Natalie Gauci, winner of last year’s [...]

i haven’t gotten this excited about a performance since… well, i guess archie started singing “stand by me.” but this was better. i thought i might need to be driven to the hospital. my friends actually started taking pictures of me on their camera phones because i was nearly hyperventilating.

and i’m NOT a tween. i just turned 22. and yes maybe i should be a major cook fan therefore, like my best friend who finds him “sooo sexy”. (a) i disagree he is NOT that sexy & (b) david archuleta has a voice that is incomparable to… well, anyone around these days, if you ask me.

paula got it right top 20 week after he sang “imagine”… David Archuleta is destined for superstardom.

I have a technical response to Mr. P’s technical comment: He attempts to “overwhelm” with information, hoping that using jargon will cause one to accept what he says without question. He also insinuates that the melody of the song carries without harmonies–don’t they all? After all, it IS called music theory, and a “professional” would know that.

As for the resolve, two tihngs: other than the first note of the resolve being slightly sharp, it was technically accurate, and 2) hello! Thirds are natural harmonic interludes in western music! Ryan was was both flat and sharp throughout the whole thing, and at the end of the second verse (when Ryan sang high harmony), he was horribly off. That said, I think I loved both of them, because I loved that performance.

Agreed, idolfan. 100%

We fans seriously need to harass David + OneRepublic’s ‘people’ until they agree to release an official track of this duet. ; )
