The Goliath Leap Of David Archuleta
August 28th, 2008
David Archuleta
David Archuleta, the other “winner” of last season’s American Idol, made a Goliath leap this week, debuting straight into #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 with the hit single “Crush”, stopping only a rung below Rihanna’s Disturbia. “Crush” is the type of song most big voice singers could sing, but perhaps you’ve got to hand it over to Archuleta for pulling the highest “Idol” single debut. David Cook, last season’s winner debuted at #3 back in May with his victory song, “Time Of My Life”.

Ya, great song there. I’m sure his debut album will be equally well-received..

David has a fresh appeal and a talent that cannot be denied. I have been impressed with his growth as a person, and as an artist since his first Idol appearance. It’s good to see someone so young be given an opportunity to realize their dreams, and to have him be as down to earth, humble and as appreciative as his fans are of the success he’s attained. I look forward to buying his album, keeping tabs on his career, and getting to see him perform as a solo artist. WELL DONE David on a great year of surprises and successes - and here’s to many more of the same!
