Pre-Idol

Background and Song List in his appearance on Star Search:

When David started on Star Search, he already started showing symptoms of bronchitis, which would later lead to his vocal paralysis when he reached the age of 13 and 14. One of his vocal chords was paralyzed and underdeveloped. The doctors said he can have surgery, but it was very risky. He didn’t want to take the risk because he wanted to sing. He was actually supposed to record a CD after Star Search because of his big success there, but wasn’t able to due to his vocal paralysis.


David once performed on the Jenny Jones show. He sang “And I Am Telling You” by Jennifer Holliday.

Preliminary Round - Who’s Lovin’ You by The Temptations

Semifinals - Fallin’ by Alicia Keys

Finals - You’re All I Need to Get By by Marvin Gaye

Battle of the Champions - I Surrender by Celine Dion

At the age of 10, he participated in the Utah Talent Competition, his first ever competition wherein he sang I Will Always Love You, his first ever song sung on stage, receiving a standing ovation.

At the age of six, he memorized a number of songs from the Les Miserables 10th Anniversary Concert with the corresponding English and Cockney accents.

David Archuleta Thanks You!

Transcript:

Hey everyone, it's David Archuleta, and this is the first video blog I've ever done, so... [giggles] Sorry if I make a bunch of mistakes but I just wanted to thank everyone for the support you guys have given, and I just appreciate all the comments and fan letters, and things said to me in person. It's just been great to see good feedback and to know that all this hard work is worth it. And I just wanna thank you guys so much for voting and watching and everything you guys have done. I wouldn't have been here without all of you. You've definitely made this whole experience a lot of fun. I've gotten just--some crazy things sometimes in the mail, but also some really neat things. And it's just, heh--it's been great to see and get to know you guys as well when you come up on the street and stuff, so it's been--it's been great.

Life after the Finale has been pretty crazy. I had a couple days off and then we went to New York and did a bunch of press and interviews there, and it was a lot of fun. I saw a lot of you guys out there too. It was really neat to see all the signs and the--all the fans out there: Archies, Arch Angels--and that was really fun to see, and I just wanna thank you guys for coming out, it made it really exciting. Then after New York I got to go home for a week, and that was just great. Just to see all my family and spend some time with them, and to see my friends and we hung out a bunch [chuckles].

Well we're here a couple weeks before the Tour starts, and so we're starting all the rehearsals and getting back together. Fun to see everyone and catch up, see how their breaks have been. And now we're just rehearsing, and it's... fun [giggle]. It's really exciting, I mean, it's something I've never done before with all the touring stuff... all the cities we're going to. I mean, I can't believe how many we're going to and how long it's gonna be. I just can't wait, I mean all these cities I've never been to. It's gonna be fun to kinda sightsee and see everything and then [Archie swallows quite loudly, haha.] the performing part of it. You know, we're not competing against each other anymore, it's just all for fun, it's something we've all been looking forward to. It'll be fun to see the meet and greets, and see what the cities are like--it'll just be a lot of fun with that. Going to Canada for one show--that's pretty exciting, I've never been there (WHAT?! Oh, Archie, you have to visit us here now! Preferably here in VANCOUVER, since the darn Tour is going to Toronto but NOO, not here! D: ) and then we have two shows in my hometown in Utah. Well like, homestate. And that'll be a lot of fun to see who comes to see the show. You know, I'm looking forward to see everyone [giggles]. Hoping others would go. It'll be great so you better go. You know who I'm [points finger at camera] talking to, whoever you are. You should know anyway. But, uh, [giggle] hopefully you'll enjoy all the work we put into this, and uh, hope you guys all enjoy 'cause it'll be fun for us. It'll be a lot of work but it'll be fun at the same time. I mean, no more judges, so... [giggles]. I guess you guys will just be the judges but not really we'll just have fun--never mind. Ta-ha (lol sorry, dunno how to word out that noise that he made). It'll be fun [thumbs up], that's what matters.

Well that's it! My first video blog, I hope you guys enjoyed watching it. There'll be more to come over the summer, and more things to talk about. I... hope I didn't do too bad of a job, but thanks so much you guys for watching and all for your support again. I just really appreciate that. You don't--I don't think people realize how much that kind of stuff means to us. All of us, you know--me, Cook and everyone else. We really appreciate it and just wanna thank you guys so much again. So, take care you guys, hope to see you there on Tour, and just keep you guys updated on what's going on. So, [waves to the camera] see ya, take care! [giggle]

David Archuleta's Vlog 2.0

Vlog 1.5 - PEOPLE.com Sneak Peek



Transcript:

I wanna thank everyone for sending questions to my MySpace and want to get to know me. I appreciate that because some people just assume things, so hopefully these questions will straighten some things out, and I picked a few.

The first one here is from Lisa. And she asked, "Do you have any pets? If so, what kind and what are their names?"

I have a dog, it's a poodle and his name's Teddy. He's a fun dog, I guess. He doesn't do too much [giggles] but he knows how to shake and dance a little bit. And then I have a gold fish and its name -- I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. Who knows. If you know how to tell, let me know. That'd be kinda nice to know, I guess. But its name is Conditioner and uh, that's kind of a long story why that works out. But, yeah, its name is Conditioner, it's about the size of my hand. It's healthy. It was nice to go back home and kinda take care of both of them [giggles then clears throat]. Pets are cool (Yes they are, David! I want a dog! sad.gif). I actually want more. I used to have cats, but I had to move and couldn't keep 'em 'cause my dad's allergic. So that was pretty sad but, you know, I love animals; can't wait to get more when I grow up.

The next question here is from Dolly. And she said, "Hi David. So we know your lovely mom is from Honduras," thanks, I think she's lovely, too, "I was just wondering if you speak Spanish."

I speak a little bit of Spanish. I wish I spoke more. It was actually my first language when I was little. But then I didn't really speak too much English to people who didn't speak Spanish, so I learned English and I guess it just didn't work out. I guess my parents kinda forgot to keep the Spanish going along with the English, so I kinda forgot quite a bit. Which is sad 'cause my whole mom's side of the family speaks Spanish. Some of them don't speak English, so the only way I can talk to them is Spanish [giggles]. But, you know, I love that culture. My mom has been great listening to that part of the music side and food. It's just great culture. I love it.

This question's from babyface04/lee(?) and they asked, "Do you work out or lift weights?" [giggles]

I... you know, I used to. I mean, I've gotten pretty flabby (HA! Yeah right, David! Flabby... PSHH!) [looks at arm] while I've been here. I haven't really had time to work out. It's kinda sad. I used to actually do cross-country but I quit because I came here. This takes a lot of your time out, and I didn't really know how long I'd be out here, and you know, made it to the Finale which is really great. I actually wanna start running again--doing push-ups and sit-ups--that's what I used to do. But... just haven't really had time. I think I'll find some time to do it now. 'Cause I love to run--it's just great. You just feel so refreshed from getting a good work out and run.

David Archuleta Signs to 19 Recordings/Jive Records
Thursday June 5, 12:06 pm ET
Archuleta Gears Up For American Idol Tour



NEW YORK, June 5 /PRNewswire/ -- It was announced this date that American Idol sensation David Archuleta has signed to 19 Recordings/Jive Records. Archuleta is currently gearing up for the upcoming American Idol tour which kicks off on July 1st in Glendale, AZ. The 17-year old is expected to release his debut album later this year.

"Signing a record contract with 19 Recordings/Jive Records is truly a dream come true," states Archuleta. "Being a fan of American Idol since season one and admiring the alumni, I am honored and humbled to be a part of that group. I'm really excited to start working on everything."

David Archuleta, the runner-up on the current season of "American Idol," has three songs entering the Hot 100 this week, starting with his stunning remake of John Lennon's "Imagine" at No. 36, along with his highly-praised rendition of "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me," and his finale song, "In This Moment."

Simon Fuller, creator of the popular TV series and chief executive and founder of 19 Entertainment Label Group, states, "It was fascinating to watch David's journey through Idol. He is a genuine pop star, and is a gifted singer who instantly won over a huge audience when he first appeared on the show. Since then, he has dealt with the pressure and the high level of expectation with real fortitude; he's given us some of the best performances of the season. Without question David Archuleta has a great future ahead of him".

Tom Carrabba, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Jive/Zomba Label Group comments, "David Archuleta has already shown the world that he is a star. He's a young, talented singer with wide appeal and we're thrilled to have him join our roster."

David During American Idol

[efren2000b]

Great job mulder. Thanks a lot. You made it easy for all of us to search for anything David.

Just wanted to share to you guys, just today, i discovered the website http://davidarchuletafanblast.com. (and i just found out may link na pala kayong nilagay dito). This site is really neat. It has very good and sensible articles about David's musicality, artistry and up to date articles. The latest article posted is about "Transcendence of David's music Part III", saying he appeals to worldwide demographic. It talks about international fans and it mentions Philippines (nauna Pinas na mention), Malaysia, Canada, Singapore, etc. They encourage us to post comments. Dami agad nag post. Yung Transcendence Part II talks about David's male fans. Wow, i felt at home immediately because there were a lot of comments from fathers and adult males who are inspired by David's music. Yes, as an adult male myself, i felt creepy at the start why David has this much effect on me. But after reading the posts there, i felt at home because majority of the posts were like enunciating what i felt all along.

Anyway, kudos to you guys!!! Keep up the good work. I am here supporting you. Work is just neck deep, so pasulpot sulpot na lang ako dito.

David's Blog Entries (from his official myspace account)

Current mood: excited

Hey guys,

We started working on the album this week, and have been looking through songs and seeing which ones we like. I’ve also been meeting with several songwriters and producers, and the whole thing has just been really exciting! I can’t wait to see how things turn out in the end. We’ve found a song that I really like already too.

Rehearsals have turned out well so far, and the band is a great group of people. I had a tour rehearsal today, and after that I ran all over the place for different meetings and some phone interviews. Tomorrow I’ll be meeting with the vocal coach they have for all of us. He has worked with a ton of different people. After that I think I’m going to meet with the stylist and work some outfits out for the tour. So that should be pretty fun haha.

So keepin’ pretty busy, but it’s so much fun! It’s only just begun too. I’ll try to keep you posted on what else is goin’ on soon!

Current mood: blessed

Hey Everyone!

I hope you guys had a great Father's Day yesterday. For Father's Day my dad, a friend of ours and I went to Soup Plantation for lunch haha. I actually really liked the food there. We also had enough time in the day to go to church before the schedule started and lunch so that was neat to be able to do.

Today we have some more rehearsals for tour, and then after that we're having some more meetings on my own career lol. Well that's all for now. I'll try to keep you guys posted. Oh and by the way thanks everyone for wishing my dad a happy Father's Day. I really appreciate that and I know he does as well. He's been great so I'm glad you guys took time to send him your messages. Hope everyone else's dads had a great time too!---
Current mood: cheerful

Today we did a bunch of press stuff for the tour. Carly and I were partners and it was pretty fun haha. She's kinda like my mom of the group because she's always making sure I'm doing what I'm supposed to. I also had a photoshoot today which was a lot of fun. I actually used to hate pictures and would like run from any camera until about last summer. Yeah I was pretty weird haha. But anyway I've gotten a lot better with cameras and don't mind them, especially since they're everywhere now. I can probably thank Fish for overcoming my fear of cameras, since she had one everywhere we hung out last summer and I started getting the hang of it.

Tomorrow I have some other music stuff for the album and then I'm going to the Wall-E movie premiere. I know I'm pretty immature, but Pixar movies are my favorite. They're just really clever and I love being a kid lol. I can't wait to see it. So tomorrow should be another fun day. That's all for right now!

Transcript of the Video Blog (Sneek Peek)

I wanna thank everyone for sending questions to my MySpace and want to get to know me. I appreciate that because some people just assume things, so hopefully these questions will straighten some things out, and I picked a few.

The first one here is from Lisa. And she asked, "Do you have any pets? If so, what kind and what are their names?"

I have a dog, it's a poodle and his name's Teddy. He's a fun dog, I guess. He doesn't do too much [giggles] but he knows how to shake and dance a little bit. And then I have a gold fish and its name -- I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. Who knows. If you know how to tell, let me know. That'd be kinda nice to know, I guess. But its name is Conditioner and uh, that's kind of a long story why that works out. But, yeah, its name is Conditioner, it's about the size of my hand. It's healthy. It was nice to go back home and kinda take care of both of them [giggles then clears throat]. Pets are cool (Yes they are, David! I want a dog! sad.gif). I actually want more. I used to have cats, but I had to move and couldn't keep 'em 'cause my dad's allergic. So that was pretty sad but, you know, I love animals; can't wait to get more when I grow up.

The next question here is from Dolly. And she said, "Hi David. So we know your lovely mom is from Honduras," thanks, I think she's lovely, too, "I was just wondering if you speak Spanish."

I speak a little bit of Spanish. I wish I spoke more. It was actually my first language when I was little. But then I didn't really speak too much English to people who didn't speak Spanish, so I learned English and I guess it just didn't work out. I guess my parents kinda forgot to keep the Spanish going along with the English, so I kinda forgot quite a bit. Which is sad 'cause my whole mom's side of the family speaks Spanish. Some of them don't speak English, so the only way I can talk to them is Spanish [giggles]. But, you know, I love that culture. My mom has been great listening to that part of the music side and food. It's just great culture. I love it.

This question's from babyface04/lee(?) and they asked, "Do you work out or lift weights?" [giggles]

I... you know, I used to. I mean, I've gotten pretty flabby (HA! Yeah right, David! Flabby... PSHH!) [looks at arm] while I've been here. I haven't really had time to work out. It's kinda sad. I used to actually do cross-country but I quit because I came here. This takes a lot of your time out, and I didn't really know how long I'd be out here, and you know, made it to the Finale which is really great. I actually wanna start running again--doing push-ups and sit-ups--that's what I used to do. But... just haven't really had time. I think I'll find some time to do it now. 'Cause I love to run--it's just great. You just feel so refreshed from getting a good work out and run.

See ya, take care!
