David Writing With Someone Famous Today!

David is in the middle of a writing session in London with a bigtime songwriter and up-and-coming producers. The writer is extremely successful, with numerous #1 songs for many different artists worldwide.  David is also going to be writing with other top London writers.

We are allowed to give ONE hint and it has to be vague and sleuth-resistant.

HINT: This songwriter has collaborated with James Morrison.

We can’t tell you anything more at this point!  I’m sorry!

David also taped the Paul O’Grady show today that will air on Thursday at 5pm London time.

I hope he gets to meet Steve Mac and Louie Walsh! Ahhhh.. Kian’s an up and coming producer too. Eeeep. My unending love for Westlife abounds. Duuuuuude, they sold 45million records worldwide! David must meet their writers/producers (which includes Simon, btw. ugh.)

I hope I’m still awake by then. Highly unlikely, though. Haha.

Talking Shop: David Archuleta

Crush is out now. David Archuleta was talking to BBC entertainment reporter Genevieve Hassan.

Archuleta’s clean-cut image has won him heartthrob status

David Archuleta won a legion of fans as a contestant on the seventh series of American Idol in 2008.

Although he finished as the runner-up to winner David Cook, the 18-year-old’s clean-cut image and soulful voice have earned him teen heart-throb status.

His debut single Crush entered the US Billboard top 100 at number two in August 2008, with his self-titled album entering the Billboard 200 at the same position.

He is now planning an assault on the UK charts.

We went on the American Idol tour over the summer and during that time I was working on my album which came out in November.

I’ve been doing a lot of promos for it since, including one at Madison Square Garden – it was so weird as I was between Kanye West and Chris Brown! It was really intimidating but so exciting.

Are you sick of singing your new single Crush yet?

I’m not sick of it, I really like the song. It takes a while for me to get sick of a song – if it’s on the radio a lot I get sick of it. But I don’t listen to my own songs on the radio anyway because that’s just weird.

You were very young when American Idol first started, were you counting down the days until you were old enough to audition?

I thought I was never good enough to do it. I did a show called Star Search when I was 12 but during that I got vocal paralysis, which had an effect on my singing and I thought there’s no way after that.

Then I took some vocal therapy and decided to audition. I almost didn’t because I thought there was no point in wasting all that money and time when I didn’t think I’d get very far.

But I decided at the last minute and had to quit my summer job running the lights and sound at an amphitheatre near my house.

David Archuleta lost out in the American Idol final to David Cook

What do you think of Simon Cowell?

I really like Simon. Everyone’s really like, “he’s a jerk and scary and mean” but I think he’s really nice. He had a lot of good things to say on the show and if they weren’t positive, it was to help motivate you to do better.

You’re now a teen heart-throb in the US but I read recently that you’ve yet to have your first kiss – how is this possible?

I’ve never had a girlfriend – I’ve just always felt too young to be into that stuff.

I think that people at school start too soon and haven’t matured enough to worry about it and understand what they’re feeling. I don’t want to let myself get confused too quickly and I’m just waiting for the right girl.

It’s weird because I didn’t have a lot of offers before and now I get a lot.

What’s the most random gift a fan has sent you?

Last night, I got this sponge microphone so when you’re in the shower you can pretend you’re singing – that was really weird – I’ve not used it yet!

You’ve got almost 140,000 friends on MySpace – do you accept them all yourself?

Someone else accepts all the friends but I update my blogs and pictures. You have to build a relationship with your fans, so I think it’s a really important thing to do.

It’s fun to read what people have to say and it gets them more involved. Most of them are saying the same thing like “I love you” but a bunch of them have really cool things to say.

Archuleta received the Teen Choice Award for most fanatic fans in 2008

How do you stay a typical teen?

By remembering my values and things that help me stay strong through all of this. I don’t think I’ve changed that much as a person, it’s just people now know who I am.

Of course I’m going to start changing from the experience I have but I still have the same friends and I’m still David to them and my family.

Are you going to watch the new series of American Idol?

I’m going to try – especially now I know what they’ve gone through because I know how it feels. I’ve always been a fan of the show and they find some really good, talented people.

What do you think of the new rules like not showing so many of the car-crash auditions?

A lot of people like those but I always felt bad for them. They do so much waiting and it takes a lot of time to commit to something like that so I’m glad they’re changing that.

Did you know there is a kickboxer called David Archuleta and have you ever been mistaken for him?

I’ve heard about him! I’ve never met him or been mistaken for him. But it’d be kind of funny to meet him because we have the same name and he’s a kickboxer which is the opposite thing to me – and because I’d probably die if I was in a kickboxing match.

David on We Are Pop Slags

Oh boy. Blimey!

This lot’s a 50/50 article. At least they like Crush. Leave a nice comment or two, mate. It would be fantastic if you lot could enlighten the popslags.

If you’re a US reader, we apologise – you’ll have known about ‘Crush‘ since last August. The song, American Idol runner-up David Archuleta’s debut single, remains the highest-ranking debut single release of any American Idol contestant, and went on to help Archuleta shift over 600,000 copies of his eponymous debut album.

Not too shabby for a boy The Guardian calls ‘the missing link between chimps and humans’ (ouch), plus he was the Idol contestant with the mad father (meddling Jeff Archuleta was eventually banned from coaching his son backstage after Idol producers flipped out at David for changing song lyrics at his father’s insistence. Legend has it that Archuleta’s unauthorised interpolation of Sean Kingston’s ‘Beautiful Girls’ into a cover of Ben E King’s ‘Stand By Me’ ended up costing the show a LOT of money.)

Anyway – we’re telling you all this because we’re really into ‘Crush’, and it’s released in the UK today. Yes, it’s a bit ‘acoustic MOR ballad’, yes, the beat is a bit of an ‘Irreplaceable’ rip-off (oh come on, we’ve all ripped ‘Irreplaceable’ off by now, right? Just don’t tell Sasha Fierce), BUT it’s catchy as hell, the melody is really quite lovely and Archuleta has a very easy-on the-ear tone – think Ne-Yo crossed with Will Young.  Or something a bit like that, anyway. Have a listen to ‘Crush‘ and see what you think. (Oh, and if you like ‘Crush’, you should check the album out.)

Yeah, I scratched the not-so-nice bit. Very well, I shall get some rest. Cheers, mate!
