“Hi, Can I help you?”

“I’m probably just going to wander around this flower store wearing a thingamabob on my head singing to myself. Thanks!”

Heh.

A new video for “Crush” brought to you by Yahoo and Pepsi.

Video after the JUMP…

 
  • davidlove

    Yikes – not very well produced. But Davey’s always cute!

  • shebee

    …he sounds great and looks adorable as always!

  • IdolFanatic

    Woah…lots of Archunews today! This was uh….interesting.

  • E

    hahaha thanks MJ! I’m going to watch this over and over LMAO!

  • serenade

    The video is cheesy and it has bad editing and doesn’t make too much sense. But…

    David’s singing is great. He delivers his lines well for someone who has next to no acting experience.

    He does a terrible job selecting the flowers so he should never be a florist though.

  • soundscene

    The video made me go “wth” the first time I saw it, but hey, he sounds great! I don’t get it, but he sounds great!

  • IdolFanatic

    He does a terrible job selecting the flowers so he should never be a florist though.

    :lol_tb:

  • JudyOhio

    I’m surprised that Jeff in the middle of it didn’t yank him out and say “ok enough of this, let’s blow this joint!” lol

    the cheeziest, lol

  • IGetCranked

    I think this is supposed to be a little snarky and fun… I hope so… LOL Also there was a picture that went with this that was odd as well. I kind of like weird random odd David things.

  • E

    I’m impressed with his acting, imo he has talent there. Hope we see more of it in the future.

    This is better than the official video, because it’s so funny and wth and just makes no sense all around hahaha

  • Tatiana

    I love this video – it’s verging on the surreal! hehehe! David is cute as usual :-)

  • barbasolstripper

    The video is cheesy, but that’s what makes it so great! David did an awesome job! heh
    Honestly I don’t get why everyone thought the video was so weird lol. :D

  • davidlove

    When I first saw the mike, I jumped! I was ready to lick my finger and clean off his cheek…… :tongue1_tb:

  • JudyOhio

    lol, check out the peace sign wreath in the background of that pic.

  • luckeee55

    Archie totally embraces the cheese. Adorable. This was never intended to be a serious video I think, wink, wink.

    Judy, love the peace sign wreaths. Peace, love and flower power

    Barbasol, love, love your name. The song does sound like a song to work the pole with.

  • serenade

    The video is cheesy, but thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s what makes it so great! David did an awesome job! heh
    Honestly I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t get why everyone thought the video was so weird lol. :D

    I get the concept but it’s poorly executed by the director so it’s unintentionally hilarious. David doesn’t even pay for the flowers! He also could’ve used some good advice on picking flowers for his Crush… It’s a good guilty pleasure video though.

  • maggiemay

    LOL wth…

  • barbasolstripper

    Thanks, luckeee55. Barbasol is definitely my favorite song on THE record. (:

    IÂ ´m still like WTH with this video, but he looks cute, sing great… and is so funny… good job Davey, thanks for posting MJ..

  • Duke

    haha OMG
    i bet David felt like such a goon doing this vid…but i love the incredible awkwardness of it- suits him perfectly. i wish DA would try out for next season just for fun so i can watch him again.

    à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m probably just going to wander around this flower store wearing a thingamabob on my head singing to myself. Thanks!à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ 

    Bahahahahahahaha- quote of the year.

    and i love how at the end of the video, the women is totally not surprised by what has just transpired in her store.

  • primeminister

    LOL, I don’t understand the purpose of this. But MAN, he keeps getting better and better singing this song live.

  • canadiandcfan

    i really think this video is unintentionally hilarious, but he sounds fantastic :)

  • tinawina

    What the HELL was that? Well, I guess its no cheesier than the group numbers. But he sounds really good. He looks nice. He seems to be growing in confidence, that was always the source of all the awkwardness imo. If I didn’t now better I’d say he got some. Ha! (Don’t get offended, I mean that in a funny way. He has a little swagger in that video. LOL. ) Maybe hes been listening to JAy-Z or something. :laugh_tb: He’s still too cute for words.

  • LK08

    I love the confidence and he is gorgeous and sounds great as always.

    Here is a fantastic video split into four of David singing “You Can” from the Jingle ball.

  • LK08

    tinawina-

    Once in a while, David has a killer way of looking that could kill the women. There is a famous video (among fans) that is only 8 seconds long in which he giving this young lady during a signing outside a “look” that could kill, as if he is thinking, “she is gorgeous”.

  • gerreb

    i love this!!! it’s so cheesy!!! David’s a good sport :)

  • mac

    The good news is, he sounded good.

    The bad news is, WTF? That was pretty ridiculous. Don’t quite get what the point of that video was. It just made poor Archie look awkward and ridiculous. What guy would want to do a cheesy video like that? Maybe next time they can film him in a cheese store and he can be selecting velveeta, gouda and chedder and putting them in his basket while singing.

    ^Actually I think the idea is to be a little cheese, here is the one that Jennifer Hudson did for spotlight

  • abbysee

    I loved the cheese. Hell I’ve watched Amercian Idol for 7 years, I must adore the cheese. I thought it was cute. He did shoplift however, right in front of her face. But then David Archuleta does not carry cash, lol! He did sorta have a serious gansta stroll out of that store. Yep, he did!

  • http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=587900002&ref=name cruzceleste

    ^He didn ´t shoplift the girl was so mesmerized by his eyes that she gave him the flower ;D

  • abbysee

    Maybe she decided that sang so purty, so the flowers were free?

  • ptslittlecomment

    ^Actually I think the idea is to be a little cheese, here is the one that Jennifer Hudson did for spotlight

    Well at least Jennifer paid for her manicure (LOL).

    ^ :lol_tb:

    That made sense :thumbup_tb:

  • ozarka

    Actually I think the idea is to be a little cheese, here is the one that Jennifer Hudson did for spotlight

    I think you’re right. It’s meant to be low budget cheese. At least with Archie’s video, we can assume that he’s getting those flowers for his crush. Jennifer’s video, on the other hand, had absolutely nothing to do with the song whatsoever. Notice that she’s wearing that thingamabob on her head too. Even the backup singers are wearing them, even though it’s pretty obvious that they’re lip-synching to the song. LOL.

    Jordin Sparks also did one of these low budget Pepsi Smash Artist videos for Tattoo.

  • abbysee

    Okay, that settles it, there are intentionally cheesy. The only one that makes a little bit of sense is Jordin’s. Even though I’ve never seen anyone sing a song in a low rent dinner, if it were a coffee shop…..maybe?

    Anyway, David sounded really good, and I would pay money to watch him walk. LOL!

  • khomphuong

    i know off topic a little bit .. I just went to Hollywood for Tree lighting…he did 5 songs…ALTLOY, thousand miles (HOT), Silent Night (acapella), Crush, and Imagine….he sings LIVE amazing…

  • http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=587900002&ref=name cruzceleste

    ^Oh please, tell me you have videos, photos, details please…

  • khomphuong

    i used my friends’ digital camcorder to record it…..i will get them by tomorrow. You might want to go to snarkyarchies.. they have some uploaded..,, He sang some other songs for VIPs …Holy Night was one of them…

  • http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=587900002&ref=name cruzceleste

    ^I love you… you are my favorite person, thank you!!!

  • LK08

    Oh Holy Night

    This is divine-what more can I say.

  • http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=587900002&ref=name cruzceleste

    ^Yeah, is was just beautiful, I hope somebody made mp3s of this performances…

  • khomphuong

    ^his voice is PERFECT for xmas songs.. Hope he will release xmas album next year…..seriously, i got GOOSEBUMP all over my body when i listened to him LIVE on Silent Night (acapella).

  • JudyOhio

    I’d like for him to make a Christmas cd eventually also. I loved his “Mary Did You Know” that I heard some time ago, I don’t even remember where, but I liked it a lot.

  • khomphuong

    ^ i think you heard “Mary Did you know” from here Jeff recorded and posted it on youtube before AMerican Idol. He sang that song again w/ Osmond 2 nd Generation .
