He made it contemporary, i listened to the original and it's bad, now its my latest favorite song after angels

Never heard the original but I'm not a big "Broadway" or theater music lover. If for nothing else ALW did open a lot of our eyes to a different type of music. Only thing I've ever heard of his before was "Jesus Christ Superstar."

I am very familiar with the song since I grew up listening to my sister sing the opera version. I am a 100% Cookie fan, but I really loved Archie's version of this song. I am surprised that he didn't get more credit for being innovative and changing it up. Really, he almost pulled off with that song what our Cookie did with ABMB last week, the only problem was that it wasn't a highly recognizable song to the AI audience.

yeah, i wondered why he did'nt get enough credit for changing the song.

I don't think an ALW song is one to change around. Cook did the right thing but singing it the way it was meant to be sung.

well, the song is so boring! he did the right thing to change it cause it was too boring to listen to it. Now, i'm listening to it over and over again!

Archuleta is boring.

I find David A's performances to be basically the same way week. He sings the songs the same way every time. He has a nice voice but his performances are very boring to watch.

Not to rain on the Archie parade, but...

I agree it was BORING. I think he's being held back by a certain someone :ahem: in his fam :ahem:.
He has a beautiful tone to his voice, and I was really expecting him to pick a ballad and knock us off our chairs.
But... he DIDN'T. Not only did he fail at a good beltout, he tried to CHANGE?? the arrangement and make it CONTEMPORARY?? Not the right song to be doing that.

Instead, DC did the right thing and surprised everyone by staying true to a very beautiful POTO song and did more than just knock us off our chairs. He gained on his fanbase and then some.

If this is a sign on how the upcoming duel will go, DC's got this hands down.

Well, archie got something on his sleeves. It so happened that in the dolly parton week, lots are ballads, in the inspirational week, of course it would be mellow, in the mariah carey week, you don't expect him to sing shake it off or touch my body, in the andrew llhoyd webber week, like there's so many ballads. So archie will show somethin new i bet.

well great, I logged into the wrong David forum!

That's because he didn't really. To me, it was cool hearing a guy sing it, but he didn't change the style of the song too drastically (like DC did with 'Hello'....now there was a difference.)

LOL. now thats funny

Who's David Archuleta? just kiddin

It's like seeing a car coming at you and wondering if you're on the wrong side of the road.


Wait, nope, they are.
