American Idol
Overview
Archuleta won his ticket to the Hollywood final auditions (with a performance of John Mayer's "Waiting on the World to Change") with the help of idol judge, Randy Jackson, who sang the background "waiting" in the song. (at the San Diego tryouts held at Qualcomm Stadium July 30 and July 31, 2007.[18][6]) He was 16 during the Hollywood auditions (where he sang Bryan Adams' "Heaven" and Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy" to unanimous praise) and because he was not yet 18, had to attend school while a part of Americ
an Idol's seventh season. His parents were there because he was a minor
Archuleta also took advantage of the decision to allow contestants to play musical instruments when he accompanied himself on piano for his performances of "Another Day in Paradise" and "Angels."
A Los Angeles Times article speculated why Archuleta avoided singing the first verse of "Imagine": because "of his religion (Mormonism), he's unlikely to espouse the song's agnostic ideal . . . with the line about 'no religion too.'" Archuleta did, however, sing the entire song on Good Things Utah when he was 13. During his first performance of Imagine on American Idol, when asked by judge Randy Jackson why he didn't sing the first verse, Archuleta said the third verse was his favorite because it has "a great message."
In the finale he sang "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me," "In This Moment" and "Imagine." Judge Simon Cowell declared that Archuleta won the evening and even David Cook, who ultimately won, thought Archuleta would win: "I have to concede it, the kid came out all three song
s and nailed it," said Cook.
In the final tally, Archuleta received 44 percent of the votes. During the finale show, both Archuleta and fellow finalist Cook appeared in separate but nearly identical commercials for the game franchise Guitar Hero, mimicking a Tom Cruise scene from Risky Business.
Fans
Fans dub themselves "Archies" or "Arch Angels." With his "cult-like appeal" nurtured by his work on American Idol, Archuleta has attracted a wide demographic of fans including teenage girls. [25] [26][27] Archuleta was labeled the front-runner after the first few weeks of performances by both the judges and the media because of his "pure, pop voice," which helped him build a large fan base during the competition.[28] Billboard magazine's Fred Bronson notes “David fills a spot where there’s a void. . . . He has innocence and humility.”[27] Los Angeles Times' Richard Rushfield noted that the "tween/teen girl hysteria" has only increased.[29]
Beginning with his performance of "Angels," Archuleta responded to requests of his fans on the American Idol Forums to signal them by putting his hand over his heart. Rushfield commented on some of the girls who were standing in the front of the audience: "An hour after the show, they were still shaking, sobbing and screeching about their encounter with the Chosen One [Archuleta]."[29]
Controversy with father
After his performance of "We Can Work It Out," which judge Simon Cowell called "a mess," Entertainment Tonight reported that Archuleta was feeling pressure from his father, Jeff Archuleta, who "reportedly yelled at" his son after a recording session the previous night.[30] Jeff Archuleta, in an interview with Us Magazine, denied the claim.[31] A May 2008 Associated Press article reported that Jeff Archuleta had his son add a lyric from the Sean Kingston song "Beautiful Girls" into a rendition of "Stand by Me" (from which "Beautiful Girls" samples its bass line), increasing the costs for licensing, and that this had resulted in Jeff Archuleta being banned from American Idol backstage rehearsals.[32] During the 2008 American Idols LIVE! Tour Tour David once again sang his rendition of "Stand by Me" featuring an even longer segment of Beautiful Girls.[citation needed]
Archuleta later defended his father on CBS's The Early Show, stating: "[My father is] a great guy. And I really appreciate his support and all my family's support. You know, he's given great advice, but he's let me do my own thing. And it's been great to have him there, just reminding me to keep grounded and remember what's important." [33]
Post-Idol career
The three songs Archuleta performed in the American Idol finale, "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", "In This Moment", and "Imagine", became top-10 downloads on iTunes. All three debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 chart the week of June 7, 2008. "Imagine" entered at #36 (giving Archuleta his first top forty hit), "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" debuted at #58, and "In This Moment" entered at #60. That same week Archuleta also placed three songs on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, where his versions of "Longer", "Think of Me", and "Angels" debuted at #15, #19, and #24 respectively.[34]
On June 5, 2008, Jive Records announced that David signed a recording contract with the label and that his debut album will be released later this year, after the "American Idols Live! 2008 Tour". [35] Archuleta will be releasing his single "Crush" on August 12.
On 17 July 2008's So You Think You Can Dance, Archuleta's cover of "Imagine" by John Lennon was used by Katee Shean and William Wingfield with their Pas de deux dance number.
