    thanks mj! imagine gives me chills!

    you can tell he had a few technical difficulties and was nervous singing crush for the first time. but all in all, he did a great job.

    and angels sounded even better than on the tour. maybe because there was no screaming distracting you from hearing his beautiful voice.

    LOVE the ford videos! just wish i could have been there today. :(

  • frogcooke

    here’s a recap from the show. but evidently he was really nervous today lol

  • gerreb

    thanks for all the vids! i totally forgot ford day was today so what a nice surprise! i’m glad Archie and DC got to spend some time together again!
    i agree….he sounded nervous during the first part of Crush…but, as Randy likes to say….he worked it out! :)
    Angels sounded great…i love when he sings that song! And i did watch imagine in the crappy quality video, yet he still sounded amazing! i think it’s my favorite version yet. i’m glad he did the whole song! i hope a better quality video comes up somehwere!

  • frogcooke

    I video taped everything in HQ from the 5th row. I just got home a little while ago and uploaded some of my pictures here…

    I took a lot more of Cook than Archuleta since this was the first time I actually got more than a few seconds with him. After 3 concerts and an after party I finally got my hugs and pics with him. I actually got 5 pictures with him today! Two goofy face shots.

    I just started uploading my videos but the files are about 400-500MB each to it’s going to take awhile!

  • cruzceleste

    IÂ ´m loving Imaine, definitly one of the most beautiful songs ever writing…

  • idolfan86

    i still cant get over how incredible he sounds on imagine. how much more brilliant can this kid get? im sitting here in amazement after listening to these videos. his voice just pierces through to your soul. ive never felt this way about another singer before.

    david is going to be huge. this is his destiny. i can just feel it.

  • cheese

    I think Archie did a great job with “Crush” for his first time out despite a few nerves at the beginning – I definitely prefer the song without the background singers.

  • frogcooke

    Yeah poor guy was nervous about doing it lol They had some of his backing vocals on the track they ran.. but the music was low you couldnt really hear it…

    But I think he did a great job all things considering. loved the ending too. :)

    Thank you…

  • elle

    Me while listening to Imagine: ‘Crap’ ‘Crap’ ‘Holy Crap’. Mind blowing.

  • idolfan86

    thanks for the mp3! that might be my performance of his EVER.

  • idolfan86

    here’s a great CLOSE UP video of crush!

    too bad it’s only a partial. :(

  • grahamy2008

    did anyone notice that he’s wearing a ring now? =]

  • idolfan86

    yeah, i wonder if its one of those purity rings like jordin sparks and the jonas brothers wear?

  • idolfan86

    david and david saying bye to each other. it must be hard for them. they’ve been together for so long now and it could be months before they ever see each other again.

  • elle

    David is wearing a CTR ring – it’s a Mormon thing. Not a purity ring, but it stands for “Choose the Right.” Lots of kids wear them and many adults.

  • bigepaz

    Probably my favorite DA performance of Imagine too. Wow. So glad he sang the entire song.

  • clee1107

    I have to say…David is amazing..My heart is stolen..I’m happy to hear nice songs from him. David cook was also great. I wish I would be there..:-(

  • idolfan86

    beautiful CLOSE UP version of imagine.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q52y6Pi1Uhg

    i’ve listened to it probably 20 times now and it still gets to me every time. listen to the “religion” part at 2:12. damn, he’s incredible.

  • E

    Crush considering how nervous he was, amazing!

    Angels was otherworldly, and I am glad he sang that, and glad everyone was quiet so I could enjoy his voice!

    Imagine gave me chills, especially the “no religion” part. Happy he sang the whole thing. but I got irritated with whoever screamed during the song, a song with so much meaning and depth sung so beautifully should have been treated with reverence, not like a concert! LOL sorry, I was just so irritated.

  • David_Cook_Rocks

    I guess I’ll add my Crush video to the growing list.

  • sailormoon

    David sounded amazing! Loved the videos! Thanks everyone for sharing these great vids…it’s as if I was there! =)

  • Suzanne

    Thanks for these links. That was great to see. You can hear the nerves in his voice on Crush (and he needs a band for it–seems a little bare with just a track) but it was good and will get better when he sings it more.

    I thought Imagine was great. I took the download–thx.

    So–bets that Imagine makes it onto his CD? I was surprised that he pulled it out of the AI vault, which makes me think that they’re thinking of putting the full-length version on his CD.

  • mrcritic1980

    I do believe this is the first time he performed “Crush” live.

    In an interview with David Cook, he said he was scared to touch Imagine because of how much in meant to people…

  • cruzceleste

    Archucook fo the day, Cook put his hat on Archie…. Awwww.

  • abbysee

    I think Imagine should be a bonus track I think they would be remiss not to include a full track, I would love to have a (no screaming gasping, sighing) full copy myself.

    Crush was good, considering his nerves, it was very good.

    Angels is just the most beautiful song that he sings for me. This one is not exception. Damn!

  • gerreb

    David is phenomenal! I also would like a copy of Imagine without the screaming and everything….it’s so beautiful when he sings it, i would love to have a clear version of it. I do hope they release one!

  • cruzceleste

    I would raether a copy of Angels to a copy of Imagine, but that is because Angels had always being one of my favorites songs… there is a rumor in fanforums about Angels being recorded but still not sure if it will make it to the album…

  • abbysee

    I’d take Angels too. But he’s already done a full version of angels right?

  • cruzceleste

    Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢d take Angels too. But heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s already done a full version of angels right?

    Yes, for top eight… but those record are really rushed, and they don ´t choose the instruments in the records, they only make the vocals… so maybe they will do a new version to see how it works..
