What they say:

Michael Johns: Oh, this isn't the finale?! Oh, I didn't know! [Shakes fist at sky] Damn you, Archuleta! No, David's a talent, man! What were you doing at 17? I certainly wasn't that composed and singing that great. He's phenomenal. All praise to him.

David Cook: The finale's in May, so we got a long way to go. But he's a fantastic performer, and more importantly, he's a fantastic guy. Whatever happens, nobody here doesn't deserve this — and that's a double negative, but that's okay.

David Hernandez: I don't let that stuff get to me. Archuleta's a talented, talented kid, and on top of that, he is an incredible person. So the competition, it can go any way. It wouldn't be the first time that things have happened unexpectedly.

Ramiele Malubay: I love that he gets all that hype, because he is the most humble person you will ever meet. What you see is what you get. He's a sweet guy. He definitely deserves all the praise he gets.

David Archuleta: Aw, naw, not yet! [Laughs nervously] So much happens in this competition. Anything can happen. You can start out really well, but you just have to see where it goes from there. It's totally unpredictable.

Q&A

-Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Bryan Adams, Kirk Franklin.

Symptoms:

You find yourself saying 'Gosh'
You repeatedly listen to his songs
You are constantly watching him on youtube
You try and make everyone you know like him
Your friends are annoyed because hes all you talk about
When the show aired you wondered what he was going to sing
He made you cry during Imagine
You giggle when someone mentions his name
When you look at him he makes you squee
You find yourself constantly thinking about him
You're still trying to figure out if his eyes are brownish-green or greenish-brown

New song is out! Up All Night.

Sounds great!

Quote:

“‘Up All Night’ came from when I was having a really rough month trying to see how I could make a statement and prove myself and was getting nowhere,” David told People magazine in a recent interview.

“A family living in rural Tennessee invited me over to go fishing at their pond. None of the kids even had smartphones at the time. They took me in and when I got home I realized I felt whole again,” David revealed to People. “I was so confused with what happened that I couldn’t sleep. I had to get out what I was feeling so I went to the keyboard and recorded the verse and chorus with some lyrics that night.” source

Thanks for the new thread, and news of his latest song!

Cereal Killer · 05-07-2017, 11:03 AM

Thanks for those, Ray! The new song sounds great and that's an interesting story behind it.

***dancing in the rain*** · 05-19-2017, 12:48 PM

You're welcome!

And the music video for it (and the EP too) came out today!

Very cool! I liked that the concept was very Archie but it was also different and it had great energy, definitely an interesting one!
