David Archuleta To Become A Mormon Missionary
Posted 12/20/11 1:46 pm ET by MTV Tr3s in Agentes de Cambio, David Archuleta, Música
By Michael Lopez
Anyone expecting a followup to The Other Side of Down may now have to wait a while. It seems American Idol alum, David Archuleta, will be putting his music career on hold for the next two years to become a Mormon missionary.
David made the emotional announcement during a concert in Utah last night. Pushing through tears and a wave of emotions, Archie told the crowd that he was answering a "higher calling."
"It's not because somebody told me that I was supposed to do it," he explained on stage. "And it's not because I no longer want to do music anymore, but it's because it's the feeling that I felt that I need to do next in my life."
So far, it's unclear if David will serve the church here in the states or do missionary work overseas. But you've got to admire his devotion to his faith. And we're sure the experience will make for some very interesting lyrics when he returns to the studio in 2014.
Do you admire David’s devotion to the Mormon church? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.
David Archuleta To Record New Album En Español?
Posted 9/29/10 4:42 pm ET by MTV Tr3s in Chisme, David Archuleta, Música
By Michael Lopez
We love hearing about music artists getting in touch with their Latin roots. So what if they’re not native Spanish speakers, the fact that they are interested in reciprocating the love to their Latino fans is good enough for us. And now pop star David Archuleta’s talking about belting out his next batch of hits en Español!
In a phone interview with HitFix.com, David mentioned,
"I really wanna do a Spanish album. I have that Latin culture background. It's a part of me. I'm not the best Spanish speaker, but I have a longing to connect with that. I just think how supportive the Latin community has been, even during 'Idol.' I'd like to give back with something like that."
Pretty awesome news! Although it may take a little while until we hear his big Spanish debut. Right now David's got his hands full with the release of his second big record, titled The Other Side Of Down.
Already getting tons of buzz thanks to a really cool kick-off single, Down is set to drop next Tuesday (October 5). And for those who want the full Archuleta experience, his site is offering a deluxe version complete with a DVD, hand initialed pix, and a David friendship bracelet.

David Archuleta Brings 'Something' Special To New Video
Posted 8/7/10 12:48 pm ET by MTV Tr3s in Celebrities, David Archuleta, Música, Videos
By Michael Lopez
A while back we got to listen to David Archuleta's "Something About Love," the first single off his new Other Side Of Down album (dropping in October). We dug the song a lot and were actually quite curious to see how it would translate into a video.
Well now it’s finally hit, and the “Something” video is getting tons of positive fan reaction all over the web. As you can see on his Twitter page, David obviously appreciates the praise.
“Thanks for the positive feedback you guys on the video!!”
We like it because it doesn’t try to be too ambitious. No other-worldly special effects, no slick fashion designs, just a simple portrayal of everyday life.
David starts off walking the streets in a basic t-shirt and jeans, dropping by the basketball court and admiring the urban landscape. Then we see him at a gorgeously lit evening party, under a sprawling night sky.
People having fun, shining sparklers, and posing for pictures…This is the kind of stuff we can all relate to (as opposed to Diddy flying over New York in a private helicopter). And it doesn’t hurt that the song is so catchy too. We still can’t get it out of heads!

Beyond J.Lo: Our Top 'American Idol' Judge Picks
Posted 8/3/10 2:53 pm ET by MTV Tr3s in David Archuleta, Música, Television
By Michael Lopez
She’s in? She’s out? Whatever is going on behind the scenes at “American Idol,” it’s stirring up tons of buzz. That’s definitely a good thing; even if J.Lo and Steven Tyler (the rumored-yet not confirmed new judges) don’t commit, just getting their names out there as contenders is great “A.I.” publicity.
Yesterday (August 2), the Hollywood Reporter confirmed that “no deals have been signed” and Ms. Jenny From The Block's reps are keeping their mouths shut too.
So let’s go to a worst-case-scenario here: What if Jennifer doesn’t do it? We still need to fill that Latin “A.I.” void, right?
That’s why Blogamole’s chiming in, with a few judge options we think would be perfect!
Marc Anthony
Whether or not they get J.Lo, Marc Anthony would be a great back up. If she does sign on however, how awesome would it be to see this music power couple interact? The cuddly exchanges, the bickering over talent, hey we’ve all been there. It could even work as a separate reality show entirely.
Gloria Estefan
We all remember how heavily Gloria’s music was featured on “A.I.’s” Latin episode. She’s been in the business for over 25 years and definitely knows a thing or two about musical talent. Perhaps if J.Lo and Marc Anthony don’t make the cut, she could bring along her counterpart spouse, Latin uber-producer Emilio!
New Música: David Archuleta Knows There's 'Something ‘Bout Love'
Posted 7/21/10 12:45 pm ET by MTV Tr3s in Celebrities, David Archuleta, Música
By Michael Lopez
Doesn’t it seem like yesterday that sweet young David Archuleta was the “American Idol” runner-up everybody was rooting for? Yeah, David Cook took the prize that year, but we all knew Archulta’s career was just getting started.
In the two short years since then, he’s pwned the Teen Choice Awards (and is up for two more next month), scored an Alma Award, toured with Demi Lovato, and released a #2 debut album!
After David released his latest single, “Something ‘Bout Love,” this week, the buzz just kept on building: Live performances, public appearances, even his own Tweets are keeping the Archuleta hype machine going strong:
“I really appreciate the excitement and all the support from you fans!!! It means a lot! Thanks so much you guys!! :D”
So the real question is, does the new song hold up? We’ve got to say…Yes! “Something ‘Bout Love” feels more grown up than the tracks on his last CD. There’s an upbeat danceable groove, just the slightest touch of auto-tune, and a singalong chorus that will get any crowd on their feet. Not bad, David! Now if the rest of your new Other Side of Down album is this good, you’ve got a major hit on your hands.
David Archuleta’s The Other Side Of Down drops September 14. If you're a fan and want to support David, "Something ‘Bout Love" is available NOW on iTunes!

Die-Hard Fans Vote David Archuleta As Best 'Idol' Ever!
Posted 5/26/10 2:17 pm ET by MTV Tr3s in Celebrities, David Archuleta, Música, Television
By Sugey Palomares
It looks like David Archuleta has the most loyal and die-hard fans on the Interwebz! Billboard.com recently created a virtual battle to decide which female and male "American Idol" grad was the best contestant in the show's history.
Thousands of votes poured in and nominated the "Crush singer" and county songstress Carrie Underwood at the top of the list. Underwood trumped all of las damas, but Archuleta dominated the competition with 92% of the votes!
Here is what he had to say about his win:
"[Winning the poll] is really flattering. I guess the fans I have are just really supportive. I think it's cool that people consider me their favorite...Carrie's just so successful. She's sold millions and millions of albums and she has a great voice and a great personality."
Besides this victory, Archie fans have have another reason to celebrate; the chart-topper is preparing to release a new album later this fall. A new single is also in the works for the end of this summer.
Now that's music to our ears!

David Archuleta Crashes Your 2009 Prom
Posted 5/13/09 3:38 pm ET by MTV Tr3s in Celebrities, Chisme, David Archuleta
We all know you would vote David Archuleta as prom king in a second...
MTV Buzzworthy was on a mission to crown the "Crush" singer and find out who his ideal prom night would be! We picture him with a Miley Cyrus type of lady, but he prefers his mejor amiga. Wondering what song he would pick? Or what he would be seen wearing? Even though David never experienced a real prom, he is about to crash our imagery one right now! Check out where he would take his date before and after prom:
I’d want to find something really cool to do before I took her to dinner. I haven’t really done my research though. Afterward, I think it’d be cool to go to a late-night boutiquey cafe kind of place, or just hang out at someone’s house.
Pretty romantic no? Read the entire interview with David Archuleta and let us know how you would spend prom night with David!

Listen: Miley Cyrus & David Archuleta's New Duet
Posted 4/27/09 2:45 pm ET by MTV Tr3s in Celebrities, David Archuleta
Warning: This tune will stay stuck in your head for hours upon hours!
We are sure David Archuleta and Miley Cyrus fans are prepared to endure everything possible to get a sneak peek at their new duet, "I Wanna Know You." We guess the "Crush" singer has a thing for cameos since he also played himself in last year's iCarly episode, or perhaps he just has a thing for Little Miss Hannah Montana. The duet will officially air on May 3rd, but get your first listen of Miley and David's duet right here.
Let's face it - you are just as hooked as we are, but we might as well ask...are you feelin' the new track?

David Archuleta Drops Positive Message For AI Hopefuls
Posted 4/23/09 4:15 pm ET by MTV Tr3s in Celebrities, Chisme, David Archuleta
Last night's double elimination on American Idol sent Lil Rounds and Anoop Desai packing...
But David Archuleta had their back. The prince of the runner up crew performed, "Touch My Hand," and had a positive message for the contestants. The Honduran star wanted to remind everyone that you don't have to claim the winning title to graduate to idol status. Claro, he started giving David Cook a run for his money the minute they wrapped season 7! The "Crush" singer also reminded audiences about his UK tour starting Friday and his upcoming U.S. tour featuring Demi Lovato.
David revealed Anoop and Allison as his fave hopefuls. Check his message to them:
I just want to say you both have awesome voices. There are so many opportunities after this. Just know that it’s not over even after this. I’ve been having such a great time. There are a lot of people who didn’t have to go all the way to really live their dream.
Sorry chico, Anoop is out! Who has your vote for the winning idol? [Newsday]
