More David-BUZZ

Losing adolescent years to a great music career is something a lot of people frown upon, but I say that if it will do something good for the world, then what’s the big deal!? David Archuleta broke into the music world in ­2002 through his appearance on the world hit TV show, American Idol. Although very much a star, Archuleta still realizes the importance of assisting the less fortunate and coordinates with Do Something.org and Dunkin’ Brands Community Foundation to liven up the lives of homeless teenagers worldwide. He also participated in efforts to raise money for the Haiti relief, partaking in a Telethon and a recording of We are The World 25 for Haiti. Now would you still say that Archuleta lost out by achieving stardom at such a young age? Because I certainly don’t! I say that it’s great that such a young star is still able to acknowledge and help the less fortunate even once he’s achieved stardom. If you haven’t heard his music get some free music downloads and I am sure you will enjoy his sweet styling.

As with any star, there has to be a story behind David Archuleta’s fame. The celebrity grew up in a musical household with a father, a jazz musician and mother, a Latin singer. The American pop singer started singing at the young age of 6, and by age 10 he performed publicly at the Utah Talent Competition. He immediately captured the crowd and received a standing ovation following his rendition of Dolly Parton’s I Will Always Love You which won him the award for the Child Division. At 12, Archuleta sang on several episodes of the TV series Star Search, becoming the shows Junior Vocal Champion. It was only five years later, that Archuleta made his second appearance on Hollywood’s American Idol show, having already appeared on the shows first season in 2002, performing John Mayer’s Waiting On The World To Change at the final audition. David took advantage of the piano and played it as he performed some other songs on the show including the hit Angels. Unfortunately, the minor didn’t win the show, only receiving 44% of the votes. Could that have to do though with people not wanting such a young teenager to take advantage of the music show? After all, being so young, a minor in fact, he was required to have his parents act as his guardian at the show. Well anyway, that’s what I thought until I read that Billboard created a poll to find out the favorite American Idol male and female contestant and saw that David Archuleta won. He even won the poll between him and female winner, Carrie Underwood by a whopping 92% of the votes!

David Archuleta was quoted saying about the poll:

“I guess the fans I have are just really supportive. I think it’s cool that people consider me their favorite, especially because it’s Billboard. I check Billboard every week and I’m starting to get the magazine more, and I have a Billboard book, so it’s just funny that this is from Billboard, too. It’s not just some teen website, you know? It’s Billboard. I think that’s cool”. [Disney Dreaming]

David Archuleta doesn’t just stop at singing. The young star is also a songwriter, best selling author and an actor. Now how’s that for someone so young! That’s what I would call an unfair advantage! Earlier this year, Archuleta released a memoir Chords of Strength: A Memoir of Soul, Song and the Power of Perseverance, a book inspired by his nearly fatal partial vocal paralysis which he experienced in 2004, but has now recovered from. In past years, Archuleta has also written some songs including Dream Sky High and Don’t Tell Me.

Some of David Archuleta’s top songs include Crush, Angels, Zero Gravity, Let’s Talk About Love, Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me, In This Moment and Imagine with the latter three reaching positions on the Billiboard Hot 100. Angels and Zero Gravity are my personal favorites, perhaps you’ll love these tracks too!

Check out this music video of his latest single Something ‘Bout Love.

Archuleta released his self-titled album with hit single Crush in 2008, following his signing with Jive Records. The single positioned number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was the best chart debut in more than 18 months. Some of his other albums which you should listen to are Christmas From The Heart, Somebody Out There and his just released single Something ‘Bout Love, which you just heard in the music video above.

The young star has already gone on tour many times. In 2009 alone, he went on five tours, two of his own and on the others he came on the tour to perform the opening act. His own tours were the David Archuleta Solo Tour and Christmas From The Heart Tour, performed at the beginning and end of the year respectively, to promote his self-titled album and Christmas From The Heart album. The tours showed at clubs, bars, theatres and civic centers, all in the USA.

David Archuleta has won quite a few awards during his short time in the music world. He was listed 2nd on Forbes’ list of Breakout stars of 2008 and received the Teen Choice Award surfboard for Most Fanatic Fans. In 2009 he won won three Teen Choice Awards for Breakout Artist, Love Song, the Music Tour category with Demi Lovato and Year in Music – Rising Male Star award at the ALMA Awards. He has also had some of his songs chart on the Billboard’s Bubbling Hot 100 Singles Chart.

David Archuleta is set to release another album, The Other Side of Down this year on October 5. He has already released the single, Something ‘Bout Love earlier this year. We’ll have to wait and see what the new album has in store for us. Let’s hope his new album charts. We wouldn’t want such brilliant talent to go to waste!

September David Archuleta Calendar Goodie!

September is Hispanic Heritage Month–perhaps those of us without any Hispanic Heritage can celebrate that side of David’s family. One thing made me sad as I made this calendar–it *almost* had the album release date on it. Oh well…look for that next month! Woot!

For this calendar, I tried to represent the color of the changing seasons in the Northern Hemisphere with the paper that goes from green to brown as the month ends. Maybe?
