I'm done with network television talent shows such as American Idol. Youtube is the place to find under-appreciated talent. Only You is an enjoyable album with Jason Mraz-esque sound that's very well done despite not being a backed by a major label. Never mind David Archuleta and David Cook, David Choi is the David you should listen to. Absolute thumbs up for this album!!

Most likely if you have stumbled upon this review, you know who David Choi is. If you have no idea, check him out at www.youtube.com/davidchoimusic. Just 2 years ago, David was just a young Asian American breaking stereotypes, with a passion working as a song writer/music producer in California. In his free time, he made home-made videos for youtube, as he put it to "inspire, entertain, educate, and inform." He's a goofy, talented, friendly guy who cares about his friends and his fans. He's a humble, incredibly talented musician, that over a short period of time, has become one "youtube celebrity." As his acoustic session videos became more and more popular, his fan base grew more and more. Everyone kept wondering, "how does this guy not have a record contract?" Finally, early last year, David released this album at his fans' demand, and a great one it is. I will always love David's quirky originals like "The Youtube song", but this album also has a wonderful collection of his original songs. I highly recommend it. If you aren't familiar with him yet, I recommend that not only you buy this album, but also check out his youtube page and get to know him, just one dedicated and talented musician and a silly friendly person.

If you like Jason Mraz, Jason Reeves, Blues music, Frank Sinatra, pop music, Colbie Caillat, you will like this artist and album.

"Won't Even Start" is one of my favorite tracks on this album and I find myself personally relating to many of David's songs. I love the simplicity of his music with his voice being the primary instrument that carries throughout the album. Nothing fancy, just easy listening crooning with a real sense of rawness and talent. Very heartfelt album and highly recommended.

I have been following David Choi via YouTube for about a year now and his work has inspired me as a musician tremendously! I remember becoming very upset a year ago finding out he didn't put out a CD but I waited it out and it was worth every days wait! This CD is excellent quality and is very professional! I expect to see more CD's from this musical genius in the future!

David if you are reading this - your music has inspired me to write my own music and I am on the brink of finishing up the recording of my very first song which I will post on YouTube in hopes I will one day inspire some one else! Thank you David and great work!

Buy the CD, download it from ITunes, do whatever you have to do to get your hands on the album.

And love it.

This is an excellent CD that has found heavy rotation in my library. If you like Jack Johnson or Colbie Caillat, this album is going to fit right in with your listening preferences. I enjoy listening to the CD because you never hear this stuff on the radio so it's a refreshing break from the mainstream stuff that's played everywhere. I'm sure that David is well on his way to getting all the notoriety that he deserves.

Been following David Choi on YouTube for a while and just recently decided to purchase his album for Ipod. His music is great. It feels so personal unlike most music on the radio today. Usually when you buy an album, only a few songs are great.. but every song on David's album sounds awesome. I cannot wait till his next release.. which I will purchase right away.
