David Archuleta: Where Did He Come From?

“American Idol” is a lot like a political campaign, and the contestant’s high school is a lot like their campaign headquarters. We loved catching up with David Archuleta’s current classmates, but it was our chat with his childhood vocal coach that really opened our eyes. After our interview, he played us a brilliant demo of “Imagine” that Archie recorded when he was only 12 years old, half a decade before he pulled that song out of his back pocket on TV and floored all of us — the viewers, the judges, the other contestants — with one of the best performances in “Idol” history!

SU2C: Crush Kids’ Cancer updates!

Hello again Archies, it’s Pecan Pie. At present, our team holds the lead by a slim margin of about $700 and has apparently been too busy celebrating yesterday’s big event to keep up the pace with donations. The way I see it, the Crush Kids’ Cancer – David Archuleta’s Angels Team is a brand new team as of December 28th, 2008. Before that date, we were honoring a kind, generous, talented BOY named David Archuleta – a mini-hunk, if you will. Today, we have a team in honor of a compassionate, extraordinary MAN of the same name who has chosen to use his rare gift as a means of reaching out to others so that they should, in turn, have the same opportunity as he has had to grow into happy healthy adults. Now that he has achieved full-blown hunkdom, I dub him the Half-Honduran Hunk (I’m all about the alliteration) and clearly no wimpy little $700 lead over the second team will do. So let’s give some big, hunky donations and show the world on national television that no one knows how to Stand Up to Cancer bigger and stronger than our man DJ H3 (the Half-Honduran Hunk needs a new gangsta name to go with his new manly self, right?). Don’t forget, Santa has agreed to release the conclusion of the “are you Pecan Pie” video only if our team raises the most money by the deadline. To hug or not to hug, ahhh that IS the question.

David Archuleta Is Now a Man

The real winner of American Idol has turned 18.

A happy belated birthday to the most talented singing sensation ever to take the stage! American Idol’s true winner turned 18 yesterday, which means David’s of legal age to marry. So if you’ll excuse us, we need to step out and buy something in a little blue box. But is he the brilliant- or princess-cut type? Oh, who are we kidding — he’s BOTH.
