Jeanne — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:07:16 +0000

David Archuleta is at home in Utah and he sat down to make an adorable vlog for all of us fans! He talked about what he’s been up to and he mentioned the ice skating special, Kaleidoscope, which will air on Thanksgiving Day and features performances by Katharine McPhee and skaters Scott Hamilton, Nancy Kerrigan and more. Sounds fun!

He also talked about how his aunt surprised him by taking him to a John Mayer concert which made him really happy since he has been trying to get to one of his shows for a while. I’m so jealous – I love John Mayer!!!

He talks about a lot of small things too so make sure you check it out!

David Archuleta “Your Eyes Don’t Lie” in Atlantic City

Jeanne — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:51:30 +0000

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!

No More Wisdom Teeth for David Archuleta!

Jeanne — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 06:43:37 +0000

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, singing isn’t a great idea after mouth surgery!

This video blog of David is pretty darned adorable (as usual) so if you are a fan, make sure you check it out!

David Archuleta Already Atop Christmas Album Pre-orders

Jeanne — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 07:15:00 +0000

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
First Noel
O Holy Night
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
I’ll Be Home for Christmas featuring Charice Pempengco
Pat a Pan
What a Child Is This
Riu Riu
Ave Maria
Melodies of Christmas

The album drops on October 13, 2009 but you still have time to pre-order it! In the meantime, watch this live performance of David singing “The Christmas Song".” Maybe he’ll put it on the next Christmas album!

David Archuleta “Contigo En La Distancia” at Alma Awards

Jeanne — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 06:37:26 +0000

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!

David Archuleta Sings “America the Beautiful” at 2009 U.S. Open

Jeanne — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 17:39:59 +0000

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!

Would You Buy a David Archuleta Christmas Album?

Jeanne — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 18:27:33 +0000

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 well.

So, what do you think? Will you be buying Archie’s Christmas album (you can also pre-order it!)?
