David James Archuleta

David James Archuleta is my idol’s name. He was born on December 28^th, 1990 in Miami Florida, but he is original from Murray, Utah, United States. Our birthdays are same. When I knew that, I was so surprised. I know all about him and being his big fan since he followed an American Idol in 2008 and he was as a runner up of it. Although he was lost by David Cook, his enemy, for me he is the winner. I always search his news in Internet, Magazine, and Television.

Before he would become a famous person, he had followed some competitions. When David James Archuleta was at ten years old, he won the Children’s Division of The Utah Talent completion for singing. One of the song that he sang in competition is “I will always love you” by Dolli Parton. When he was at twelve years old, he became the Junior Vocal Champion on Star Search 2. In 2007, when he was at sixteen years old, he became one of the youngest contestants on the seventh season of American Idol. In May 2008, he became the runner up of it. 

David James Archuleta can speak a little Spanish. He is a member of The Church of Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Boy Scouts of America. Archuleta's mother is from Honduras, he often sing together with his mother. Archuleta’s father was a jazz musician. He always listens to his father’s collections as well as gospel, pop, and rock music. His genre is pop and his instruments are piano, keyboard, and guitar.

After he became as a runner up of American Idol, he released "Crush," the first single from his album in August 2008. It has sold over 750,000 copies in the U.S. and it was so exciting. Then on October 2010 he released the Second Album, The Other Side of Down featuring lead single "Something About Love". His song is so amazing and it can make my heart so peaceful. One of my favorite songs from him is “Crush”. That is a song can remind me what I felt after my heart broke and now I can be strong because this song asks the listeners to keep spirit although ever feel so down.

David Archuleta has a great voice. I like his vocal and I like his way to sing a song. Beside that, he has a cute face and sweet smile. The most important why I become his big fan is, he can make the listeners easy for understanding his song. Beside that, he is a singer and a good writer too. I love you David James Archuleta.
