I like how critics and writers now recognize the amazingess of David’s performances back in S7. He was definitely a notch above the rest.

No one should even try singing “Imagine”, imho.

Here’s one of the best and memorable performances ever in A.I.! David singing “Imagine” created tsunamic effects all over the world!

Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Carrie Underwood, David Cook… They may all own the title of ‘American Idol,’ but winning is one thing — turning in one of the show’s most memorable performances is something else entirely. We scoured through the past seven seasons to come up with the 16 best. Then YOU, the fans, voted for the No. 1 greatest ‘Idol’ performance of all time.

Why David blew Us Away

Song: ‘Imagine’

Why It Blew Us Away: The 17-year-old kid with a golden voice was one of season 7′s front-runners from the moment he auditioned, but it was Archie’s beautiful rendition of John Lennon’s classic that established him as the contestant to beat (even Simon deemed it so). Teen girls everywhere didn’t stop screaming for three months.

My opinion on the matter

For me Imagine should be number one. But then that’s no surprise because I’m an arch-angel. I’m sure the fans of each idol thinks their idol should be in the number 1 spot. So I won’t argue there. Haha.

What I wanted to point out was that David didn’t send teen girls spazzing out. He also sent me (I’m 20. I can’t believe I just placed my age. LOL) and my friends (who also aren’t teens) spazzing, screaming and crying. And another thing. Screaming for three months? Well hello there! *fangirly scream* We’re still screaming! And it’s more than 3 months don’t you think. Haha.
