Fame & Fortune: David Archuleta
By Larry Getlen

David Archuleta’s self-titled debut album was released in November and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard charts. As of May, it had sold more than 700,000 copies in the U.S. No matter what the cuddly, cute 18-year-old accomplishes from here on out, nothing is likely to compare to the goose bumps that viewers felt during the “American Idol” finale in 2008 when Archuleta lost to the considerably more experienced — and scruffier — David Cook.

Although he didn’t capture the “Idol” title, he succeeded in building a fan base known as the “Archies,” who seem poised to make David Archuleta one of the biggest names in American pop music for years to come.

Bankrate spoke to Archuleta about the release of his first CD, that first exciting recording experience and how he’s coping with stardom.

Bankrate: Tell me about the recording of the CD.

David Archuleta: If you include roughs and demos, we probably did over 25 songs, just to see which sounded best. Sometimes, there were songs I didn’t like until I went into the studio and started recording them. I mean, I liked them but didn’t know if they were for me, and then they worked out really well.

Bankrate: Can you give me an example of a song you weren’t that high on until you recorded it?

David Archuleta: “Your Eyes Don’t Lie.”

Bankrate: Why did you initially think it wasn’t for you?

David Archuleta: I just thought it was really different. It was a more groovy song. Then, there was another one that I actually wrote that I wasn’t sure I’d be able to pull off. But now it’s one of my favorite songs to perform.

Bankrate: Which song?

David Archuleta: “Don’t Let Go.” It was one I co-wrote with JC Chasez (from ‘N Sync) and Jimmy Harry. They’re just really cool guys to work with.

Bankrate: Did you have one or two producers who were your main mentors guiding this record?

David Archuleta: There wasn’t really just one person. Every song had a different producer. One of the writers of “Crush,” Eman, I did more with him. There were three songs he co-wrote on the album, so I think he wrote the most.

Second Act for a Teen Idol
by Julie Gordon

David Archuleta’s squeaky-clean image hit a speed bump last week when news surfaced that his father, the infamous stage dad Jeff Archuleta, was charged with soliciting a massage parlor prostitute earlier this year. But the seventh season “American Idol” runner-up put family drama aside, and started his summer concert tour with Disney Channel star Demi Lovato on Sunday. We caught up with Archuleta, 18, a few days before the news broke.

You appeared on “Hannah Montana” and “iCarly.” Do you have any other acting plans?
“Hannah Montana” and “iCarly” were both a lot of fun. I’m definitely not the greatest actor, but it’s fun.

Would Broadway be a more appropriate move?
I’m more into the recording side of it and performance-wise doing your own thing. So it would be fun to be a different character, but I just like being myself.

What have you learned since your first album that you’ll bring to your second?
I definitely learned how everything works. There’s so much that goes on. It’s not just like, “Here’s a song, go record it.” What I’ve learned is to be more open and more willing to express my opinion and say what I feel.

What sound are you going for?
It will still be pop, but I hope to give it a more mature sound instead of people thinking I’m bubblegum or something like that. I want to show the more expressive side of the music. …I love Jason Mraz and John Mayer and Adele, all that kind of stuff. It would be fun to bring some of that into it, but we’ll see.

What did you think of the “American Idol” upset this year — Kris Allen winning over Adam Lambert?
It’s not like winning makes a big difference anyway. I mean it’s really cool, but Adam is obviously going to
do well and so is Kris.

Your dating life has stayed out of the media. Are you dating anyone?
I’m just not dating anyone. … I guess my life is pretty simple when it comes to that, there’s not much going on.

This one’s from Ricky Lo’s interview with Kelly Clarkson

Here’s another mention from a Charice feature

And…a super small picture of David! haha!

There you go! haha!!! Isn’t it awesome to see David’s name on our local newspapers? Hoping next time it’ll be an amazing feature!
