David I did not go to bed last night so I could find this salute to you in your home town. You are one of the greatest singers of all times in America. The songs you sang today had me crying in my kitchen, because you are blessed from the one above. You looked his the President of the US. with all the security you had around you. Keep the good attitude and personality you have through-out life. We can see your star shinning from above. I'll be voting for you until the end. People vote,vote,vote and more vote for for our idol. God Bless You.

It was great to see David in his hometown environment, to have confirmation that he is the person he seems to be on AI.

This video was extremely well done. I just wish I could have seen David interacting with people he knew, friends, classmates. Interesting to learn that he was well-enough known three years ago to sing for the governor's inauguration. But a voice like that doesn't happen quickly.

Thanks to God for the gift of David's voice and his humility and his humanity, and to his family for supporting and nurturing him as a gift to all of us.

He really is giving voice to the inspirational lyrics of great songs. He touches multiple generations now, and it is my prayer and hope that he will continue for generations to come.

The video was great! Very well done. My only complaint is that the streaming was horrible. I couldn't get the sound smooth, at all. It kept breaking up throughout the video, no matter what I did.

GOOOOO DAVID!!! What a fine example you are for everyone -- such a role model! Keep up the great work and maintain your innocence mid the intense popularity and rise to fame!!

We love you and GOD BLESS YOU, AS HE ALREADY HAS!!!

I wish soooo much that i was there!!!
I love David Archuleta sooo sooo sooo soo much!

They didn't show it on the video, but David was surprised that so many people showed up...he started crying and his mom was crying...incredible people...they really don't believe what is happening or that David is so phenomenal.

How exciting! It was great to see this video since I couldn't make it to the event (I wanted to badly). I can't wait to see the AI coverage on Tuesday.

he was so humble

Good Luck David and keep up the positive attitude.
God blessed you with a great voice, now trust him with the rest. We all love you in Hawaii. You are our American Idol

David is a blessing to me and my family, his positive attitude and light just fills us all with a great joy.

David is the best thing that ever happened to Idol! Hes amazing and he so deserves this.. I been a fan of his since auditions and to see him grow is so amazing! I wish him the best of luck!

I'm a 15 year old girl from a small town in Vermont that loves David just as much as anyone. I loved this video and watching David in his hometown. It was so cool. At the same time it's disappointing because he's on the other side of the country and I really really want to meet him which seems impossible.

All I want to say to David is keep up the good work. I admire you and your beautiful personality and your voice couldn't possibly get any better. You're such a role model; watch this video. Not only were there screaming girls wanting to meet you, but just normal people supporting everything that you do. Keep doing what you're doing. I hope that one day I'll be one of those lucky girls that actually does get to meet you.

Until then, good luck on American Idol, I'll be voting for you nonstop.
Love, Jess.

What an AWESOME video!! I watched most of the live stream videos throughout David's homecoming day, but this one really captures his beautiful voice and smile to the fullest. Please keep this video available for us to look back on in the months ahead or put on U-tube.

Someone said it above...David is best thing that ever happened to Idol!! What an amazing person he is. Everyone please keep voting to keep him at the top.

WOW ... David Archuleta is AWESOME !!! A beautiful voice + a humble spirit = THE AMERICAN IDOL !!!!!

I was lucky enough to get pulled out of school to go to this. I'm so glad I went. David Archuleta is gonna win Idol. It was unexplainable to see him and listen to him sing. GO DAVID ARCHULETA!!!!!!!!
