Mar 19, 2008 - David sang this song perfectly on Idol. This is one of my favorite Beatles song. David Archuleta, Great Job!

Mar 19, 2008 - Aww.. Really Nice Song =[ ...
samlatte Says:
Mar 19, 2008 - I love this song; it's vulnerable and poetic..& David A. on idol sang it with such purity and conviction that I'm sure Paul Mccartney is smiling with approval..Encore!
squeekycheeks Says:
Mar 19, 2008 - Agreed.

Mar 19, 2008 - I LOVE this song! There is something classic about Paul's version of it, but anyone with a musical ear will admit that David A. is a more gifted SINGER than Paul.

Mar 19, 2008 - Paul Mc Cartney sings its better than any of them.
torachan72 Says:
Mar 19, 2008 - So called gifted singing means next to nothing. Archuleta's "gifted singing" will lead him practically nowhere; meaning he'll only stay famous with young, foolish teenyboppers. Paul's voice in this version trumps what David offered. It's about presentation, style, affect, uniqueness, originality; David offers only "Star Search" style vocals.

Mar 19, 2008 - Explain "owned this", Tootsie.

Mar 19, 2008 - Better. For me. He turned a snooze song into something beautiful.
toatsies2354 Says:
Mar 19, 2008 - Then how come I got a strong feeling when David Archuleta sang this. I felt moved, almost like I was about to cry. And I get nothing from this version. Is it because I'm a 16 year old girl?

Mar 19, 2008 - STFU, u dont kno shit about music. If you knew anything, this isnt their official song. It is their original. David is ass compared to the beatles and could the American Idol people stop coming in here and shitting this place up.
NoirFan01 Says:
Mar 19, 2008 - Actually Paul's singing on this isn't so hot. His rendition of the song in concert is much better than this too slow version.
toatsies2354 Says:
Mar 19, 2008 - Well, MY APOLOGIES for not knowing everything about a band I don't even like. I'm only posting my opinion, if you can't handle that don't visit public forums.
kricert Says:
Mar 19, 2008 - OMG what a beautiful original comparing to Archuleta's crap version on AI :O
mocev Says:
Mar 19, 2008 - I think he should sing the theme tune to "Bread".
jemcnick Says:
Mar 19, 2008 - american (karokee) idol is a joke......I saw Paul and the wings Tampa stadium many moons ago....perfect voice!
JCChamberlain Says:
Mar 19, 2008 - David A more gifted vocally than Paul? NOOOO WAYYYY!!!! Paul has one of the most distinguishable voices of the rock era.
THCJunkiE Says:
Mar 19, 2008 - this song gets to your heart
enraged12b Says:
Mar 19, 2008 - David A is a gaspy, rasping little boy who might be set to make the final 2 with Carly, but he is not better than Paul McCartney. I have a "musical ear"; I can hear every time one of those alleged "most talented ever" contestants tries to sing, and my ears actually ache. Why I watch, IDK. Anyone with a musical ear hears that Darth Vader-after-Luke-removed-his-special-breathing-mask smoker-like gasping and the fact that he can't sustain notes for more than a few seconds. AI is karaoke.
steelersgurl09 Says:
Mar 19, 2008 - I don't understand how anyone can try to compare that guy on American Idol to Paul. McCartney was a musical genius and that guy is nothing but an amatuer and a wannabe. It's ridiculous and I am so annoyed that American Idol even thought of letting those people butcher some of the best songs ever written by The Beatles.

Mar 19, 2008 - the people who are commenting about that david kid are obviously those who never heard of 'the long and winding road' before they heard david sing it.
cedcami Says:
Mar 19, 2008 - i agree with u beerbelly, he should sing bread aubrey.
