David Archuleta performed at Trump’s Taj Mahal resort in Atlantic City over the weekend and there’s a huge collection of great videos on YouTube but I had to pick his performance of “Your Eyes Don’t Lie” to share.  David gets better and better on stage every time I see him and it’s hard to believe he is that same timid kid who we saw on American Idol. 

SEE MORE VIDEOS AFTER THE JUMP!

American Idol season 7 runner-up, David Archuleta, sat down with ABC News Radio yesterday where he talked about his Christmas From the Heart album (it’s great, isn’t it?!?!?) and talked about his family and all of the traditions they observe during the holiday season.  He also mentioned that he’s been writing songs in Nashville and that the4 tracks are intended for his sophomore album which is due some time next year.
There are two videos from the ABC News Radio interview.  Watch the second half and David’s vlog after the jump!

David Archuleta has announced his “Christmas From the Heart” tour and I know that a lot of you are going to be at the shows.  I would love to see David perform some holiday classics (and original music) live but he’s not coming any where near where I live.  Too bad!

If you really want to go in style, you can pick up a VIP Package from David’s official website.  If you can afford it, it’s totally worth it since a meet and greet, private mini performance, pre-show party and more is included!
Here are the tour dates:

11/24 Salt Lake City, …read more

For those of you who have been anxiously waiting, the wait is now over!  David Archuleta’s holiday album Christmas From the Heart is now available.  I know a lot of you had it pre-ordered (some of you even had multiple copies set aside)

If you haven’t already secured your copy it’s not too late.  Buy it now so that you can enjoy David’s voice all through the holiday season.  I know that’s what I’m going to do!

Have you ever had your wisdom teeth pulled?  If so, you can probably relate to David Archuleta’s nerves about the whole procedure.  My own extraction was pretty awful (it took 3 hours!) and I was swollen for days so I hope Archie fares better than I did, although I’m sure there’s a ton of you who wouldn’t mind taking care of him while he heals!
Poor David has needed to have them out for a while now but his schedule has kept him so busy that there wasn’t enough time for him to have the surgery and then recover afterwards.  Obviously, …read more

A little while ago, I asked if any of you would be buying David Archuleta’s upcoming Christmas From the Heart album and every single one of you said yes!  I’m not surprised, therefore, that it’s already at the top of the Amazon holiday charts!
The album features some traditional songs, including what’s sure to be an incredible duet with Charice Pempengco, as well as the original song, “Melodies of Christmas” which David wrote with his father Jeff and two other writers.
Here’s the track listing:

Joy To The World
Angels We Have Heard On High
O Come All Ye Faithful
Silent Night

David Archuleta took home the “New Artist Award” at the 2009 Alma Awards last week and he performed this acoustic version of “Contigo En La Distancia” and it was absolutely, unequivocally beautiful.  If you can listen to this and not believe that David is incredibly talented you must be deaf.  Even if you don’t like his style, you gotta admit that this kid has got some pipes!
Of course, he also looked so adorable!  He’s gotten so good at conveying emotion in his performances too.  So, sooooo good!

The U.S. Open is about to wrap up and, since I write about tennis, I was super surprised and excited to see David Archuleta performing “America the Beautiful” before the women’s final match between Caroline Wozniacki and Kim Clijsters (Clisjters ended up winning).
Archie sounded a little nervous at first but he quickly turned on the magic and his gorgeous voice shone through.  The crowd cheered when he was joined by the United States Marine Corps 6th Communications Battalion.  It was understated and touching so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

I’m sure you’ve heard by now that David Archuleta is releasing a holiday album called Christmas From the Heart on October 13, 2009 and I’m curious to know how many of you will buy it.
I think that too many celebrities come out with Christmas albums and most of them have no business trying to sing those classics in the first place.

I feel totally different about David.  I love his voice and I think this is a great idea.  I’m hoping he not only puts his own unique spin on the oldies but also comes out with good original songs as …read more

David Archuleta recently performed in Omaha, Nebraska and I spotted these great pictures for you Archie fans!  I haven’t been lucky enough to see him live in concert since the only events I’ve attended were for the press and he wasn’t performing but it looks like he’s really opened up on stage.  Truly, I believe that if he had possessed this kind of stage presence, he really might have won.  No disrespect to David Cook, of course, because we love him too, right?
