Here’s a video from David Archuleta’s appearance at Live with Regis and Kelly last Wednesday. The American Idol “cutie” runner up performed his hit single “Crush” off of his upcoming debut album.

David did wonderful. I wished he played the piano though like in the "Crush" video. Nevertheless, it was still great to watch David Archuleta perform again.

David Archuleta just recently updated his fans through his Myspace blog in regards to his upcoming debut album.

David A shared  that they’re getting close to picking which songs make it into the album. Here’s the an excerpt from David Archuleta’s Myspace Blog :

Hey guys! We’re getting close to making final decisions on which songs are going to go on the album, and it’s pretty exciting! The last few days have mainly been recording still, and just finalizing the songs to see which ones will be the best fit.

Check out David’s blog to read more about his day in Disneyland when he attended Miley Cyrus’s 16th birthday bash, and some laughs with fellow American Idol alumni Brooke White and her husband.

While doing a phone interview with Johnjay and Rich of 104.7 KISS FM (Phoenix), David Archuleta talked about the direction of his debut album. Here’s what he had to say :

“It’s pretty much pop. I didn’t want to like, just run with a certain idea because I’m still in that mode of teenage life, like where do I want to go in my life and who do I want to be. So I didn’t want to just run with ideas because you know like teenagers can be like, ‘Oh this is what I want to be and this is who I am in life’ and they change their minds in a couple of years. So I didn’t want to limit myself with the kind of much I did and try to keep a good variety on the album. Since we didn’t have a lot of time to concentrate on a certain direction, it’s good to keep a wide variety of songs and a good mixture.” (SOURCE)

While this makes sense, coming after American Idol and putting out an album relatively quick to keep the momentum, I hope not having time to concentrate on a certain direction doesn’t bite them in the behind. It probably won’t since David Archuleta has a very big fan base right now. So anything that he puts out in the market tomorrow will hit the top charts.

I’m thinking about longevity though. You don’t want an Artist, especially a Male Pop Artist with David’s talent to be stagnant and come out with a sophomore album to sound like the first one or mediocre at best. I hope his team considers his career for the many years to come and not just to make a buck by appeasing certain buyers in the market each time David comes out with a new album. He will grow and his fans will grow. So I guess rake all the benefits now then think hard and spend more time on what direction he wants to take on the next one.

Actually, David Archuleta and his father/manager wants to work with the same people who worked with Miley Cyrus’s Breakout Album. EOnline “exclusively” learned that David and his Dad Jeff met with the Rock Mafia Productions and would like Archie’s debut album to go in the same direction Miley’s debut album went.

Well, Breakout is #1 at this moment so it’s probably a good decision on David A’s team. Let’s hope it works for him as well as it worked for Miley. Meanwhile, listen to David Archuleta’s first single called “CRUSH”.

Thanks to our reader Kerri for sending us a link to this emotional video of David Archuleta performing When You Say You Love Me.

If any of you have any videos of David A that I haven’t posted and you want me to feature, please feel free to send ‘em over (dexie.wharton@b5media.com). Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone!

David Archuleta performed OneRepublic’s “Apologize” during a stop in Utah as part of the Idols Live Tour 2008.

Did you hear the fans? Woooweeee. David A also interacted with the audience, thanked them and everything. It’s his hometown after all. Good Luck deciphering whatever he was saying in the midst of all the fans screaming. I heard a “Thank You” the rest was pretty much, “wooooooooooooo” and “aaaaaaaaaaaaah”. Archie has fans eh? :).

David Archuleta just posted a blog entry on his Myspace page to update the fans how he is doing (Idol stars too) and the Idol Tour itself. Here’s what Archie wrote in his blog :

LA to San Jose!

Hey all.  Today we’re in San Jose, and it’s my first time here.  I love it out here! it’s a really unique area.  I went out to eat an early lunch with Brooke and Kristy, and it was really good.  It was some pizza place by our hotel haha.  We had our LA show last night!  I’m so relieved to have that finished lol.  I have to admit I was a little nervous about that one, but it was great once I got on stage and felt the energy of the crowd.  I hate not having enough time to say hi and get to everyone waiting outside after the show.  There were a bunch of people I still didn’t get to last night because there were so many people at the LA show, so if you were there and I wasn’t able to come up I want to let you all know I’m sorry!  I try really hard to get through as quick as I can so I can see everyone, but it’s really hard with the short amount of time haha.  But it’s really neat to see everyone.  That’s what’s been a really great thing about the tour, we’ve been able to talk to fans a TON more and get to know everyone :).  Anyway I have to go outside and talk to everyone waiting outside now!  So if you’re there right now I’ll see you there!  Even though you won’t read this until later but whatever haha.  Take care

Sounds like he’s having a grand all time judging by his “LOL” and “haha’s” :). It’s nice to know everyone is doing well. to keep updated with David’s ongoing, visit his Myspace page and add him as a friend. While you’re at it, add Pop Music Scene as well

David Archuleta, along with David Cook were on The View this morning. It was a lovely interview if I say so myself. A person with no malice in his/heart could clearly see that these 2 David’s are genuinely supportive of each other. Elizabeth even asked Jeff, Archie’s father, about all the controversies during the show maligning his name. Jeff summed it up just right. Some people just can’t accept the fact that David A is a good kid. They couldn’t really say anything bad about him so when he fibbed his lines from one of the songs, they went after the next best thing. I loved how David Cook defended Jeff as well. He said David A’s father is nothing but supportive and only cares about his child. It’s just the media trying to put a spin on things just because. Kinda sad but true.

Watch David A’s performance on The View after the fold…
