It doesn’t quite seem like an entire year has passed since he was standing on the American Idol stage awaiting his fate, and David Archuleta will be the first to tell you that he can’t believe how far he has come.

The American Idol Season 7 runner-up delivered an endearing performance to a small group of screaming fans at TriBeCa’s P.C. Richard & Son Theater in New York Thursday night, and although he’s 18 now, you’d never know it from his innocent, child-like demeanor, pleasant disposition and a personality that would have you swearing he had never uttered a curse word in his life.

Archuleta treated his doting fans like a seasoned pro would, laughing genuinely at their affections and insisting that he adored the cozy venue, telling the audience, “I feel like we’re in someone’s house or something. This is a lot more personal… I like this.”

He began his set singing songs from his self-titled debut album - “Touch My Hand,” and “A Little Too Not Over You” - which everyone in the audience not only knew every word to, but also felt the need to capture on their own personal video device. It was a true mark of the age of the audience, as each teenager was quick to the draw with his or her personal flip-cam, cell phone cam, digital camcorder or other similar video-capturing device. Certainly the ‘tween blogosphere will be abuzz tomorrow with footage from the intimate concert.

He also wowed the crowd with two sincere cover songs on the piano, Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles” and Robbie Williams’ “Angels.” It was evident in these selections that Archuleta not only has a real command of his pure, almost angelic voice, but also that he is a talented musician who knows exactly where he belongs.

Archuleta has been quite successful since he lost the American Idol crown to David Cook. His first single, “Crush,” was released in August 2008 to overwhelming success - debuting at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 which made it the best debut in 18 months. He finished the concert with the obvious favorite, leaving the audience of screaming, David Archuleta t-shirted fans wanting oh, so much more.

David Archuleta is on tour with Demi Lovato this summer.”
