Deseret News article
Last year's "Idol" runner-up returns home with a hit album (titled "David Archuleta") that featured the hit single "Crush." I love Thai food. Some of my favorite artists are Jason Mraz, Sara Bareilles, Adele, Natasha Bedingfield, Eva Cassidy and John Mayer.
"There's nothing like singing to a home crowd!"
After auditioning for the show at the age of 16 in the summer of 2007, singing John Mayer's "Waiting on the World to Change," Archuleta marched straight to the top, where Season 7 winner David Cook narrowly bested him in the season finale.

The Dead Hub Review of the Chicago HOB show
click pic for more photos. i highly encourage this course of action. Amazing show—that is, if I’m a 12 year old girl thrilled to be at one of my first concerts of my life. Regardless, David Archuleta’s ability to sing is undeniable. He was a contestant on American Idol in 2007.

If you watch American Idol religiously like I do, then you definitely know who David Archuleta is. If you don't watch the show, then you will become familiar with him soon. The second runner up, of last years Idol contestants, should have a long singing career ahead of him. The 18 year old singe...

The Other Paper review of the Columbus show
David Archuleta—teen idol, puppy dog, sock puppet—he does it all. Honestly, I mean this when I say it: He was so charmingly unaffected, and so genuinely glad to be singing, that every time he grinned, you saw sheer pop innocence. And believe me, that was as refreshing as hell.

Though I have yet to see “American Idol” winner David Cook alone in concert, after watching runner-up David Archuleta burn through a 90-minute set of pop songs Sunday night at the House of Blues, I’m inclined to say that America may have gotten it wrong last season when the majority voted f...

Great Allentown review!
He nailed the signature notes from the opening “Touch My Hand” (the title of which he took literally — handshaking the front row) to the killer closing of Robbie Williams’ “Angels,” and even outdid the big note on the recorded version of his hit “Crush.” He emoted often, but never in a cheesy...

U.K. album review
However, this isn't to say that David Archuleta is a dud. 'Crush' is easily the best tune here, but the choruses of 'Barriers', 'My Hands' and 'Don't Let Go' soar in all the right places and the spunky 'Your Eyes Don't Lie' sounds a bit like a country-pop cover of 'You're So Vain'. In fact, the on...
