I’m hearing that David Archuleta is scheduled to perform on next week’s Top 6 results show.

Apparently, he was scheduled to appear on Idol during Top 3 results show, when   he had a break in the schedule between his tour of the UK with the Brit band McFly and his Manila show with David Cook.

But, sometime last week there was a change.

The new plan is to have Archie appear next week on the Top 6 results show, with Jordin Sparks now set to premiere a new single during the Top 3 results show instead.

Unfortunately, David will have to cancel two of his opening shows in the UK to clear his schedule for next Wednesday.   But it’s totally worth it!   That Idol promotion is good stuff.   Just ask David Cook who more than doubled the sales of his album David Cook, in the week after his Idol appearance…

    I wish it was Melinda Dootlittle instead of Jordin. Melinda’s new single is nice.

  • tinawina

    Oh goodie! He could use the boostage. I wonder what he’ll sing.

  • ggdoorsfan

    we need quick confirmation on david’s a’s appearance – the buzz in the base is building to fever pitch… oh man – what a night this is going to be – david archuleta makes a triumphant return to where it all began…. wonder if jive will present him with the platinum certification for crush, or the gold certification for the cd….. staying calm as can be until we get final word… but what the heck – yayayayayayayayayayay :clap_tb:

  • chelley

    I am sooooo excited to see Archie back on the Idol stage. But I have to admit that I’m a tad nervous…I mean–what the heck is he going to sing??? Will he sing ALTNOY? It seems like that single’s time has passed. Will it be TMH–(not one of my fave’s from his CD, sorry) although it is more uptempo? I actually started envisioning him singing Zero Gravity and working the stage like in his concert performances. I think that would surprise a lot of people. But the song is soooo high and it’s not even a single. So…??? Whatever happens, I hope it only brings good exposure for him. GAH–I’m going to be nervous once again next week…

  • sma11ie

    Jordin Sparks now set to premiere a new single during the Top 3 results show instead.

    Really? I thought they were done with singles on this album after One Step At a Time. Isn’t it weird to have such a huge lag between the third and fourth single?

  • Suzanne

    I feel bad for David. I mean, it will be great to see him on AI and the publicity will be incredible. But it really messes things up in the UK. I wonder who will open for McFly on those nights?

  • bjesgirl

    Can we replace him with Melinda or Elliott? His album is done, and his song has already finished flopping. He has nothing to promote. Not to mention he has to go out of his way to perform. Melinda and Elliott are in desperate need of the promo, and idol would do wonders for them.

  • ggdoorsfan

    i really don’t care what he sings – as long as it’s not a ballad… so do. not. want to hear tbwy w/kara, or anything else in that vein….. david has matured a great deal since last year, personally and musically, and needs one of the uptempo numbers to show this growth… touch my hand would be ideal, but really – i’m not gonna speculate too much about his song choice – whatever he sings is going to get a boost… it’s up to those charged with those decisions to make the best one….. we, the fans, just want to see him on our tv screens once more on wednesday night – like he said before singing shop around… i’m getting shakey just thinking about it :jittery_tb:

    welcome back david archuleta :cool1_tb:

  • ladymadonna

    Has a third single been announced for Archie? I hadn’t seen an adds date yet but this would be an ideal time to premiere it if they can pull together a radio promo plan to capitalize on the performance. It does make more sense to have Jordin on late in the season since her album is set for release at the end of the summer. I also heard that Daughtry’s record might be releasing as early as July now, so I wonder if they’ll slot him into the finale or another late-season results show? These past-Idol performance slots are filling-up quickly!

    ETA: sma11ie, I believe the plan is to have Jordin premiere the first single from her new album when she performs on Idol. I do believe they are done with her debut record at this point.

  • cheese

    I think Jordin will be singing the first single off of her second album, no?

    Maybe Jive has been waiting for April 22 to start the big promotional push for ALTNOY? Has there been talk of David releasing a 3rd single? Whatever he sings, his album should get a nice boost for a couple of weeks.

  • leome

    Can we have Taylor and Fantasia now? I think it would be cool to have all winners performing this season. Taylor has new album and song. What about Fantasia?

    Really? I thought they were done with singles on this album after One Step At a Time. Isnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t it weird to have such a huge lag between the third and fourth single?

    I read she has a new album coming out this summer. So maybe it’s the first single from that album.

    Archie’s UK tour seems more like something that will give him a bit of experience than anything else. Missing two shows won’t hurt him or anything. Being on idol is more important promo wise.

    Jordin will more than likely sing a song from her new album coming out later this year.

    I’ll bet Daughtry makes an appearance this season to sing one of his new songs too.

  • ggdoorsfan

    i believe just appearing on idol is all the promotion he needs… remember, there are folks who haven’t seen nor followed him since the finale last year, and once they see that he has managed to do pretty darn well for himself after idol – a platinum single and a gold album for someone written off by many as having no mainstream appeal is sure to make some casual fans sit up and take notice….. …. and altnoy didn’t live up to projections – big whoop… david will have other opportunities to strike singles gold, but just reappearing on the idol stage, with a year’s worth of seasoning under his belt is going to rock some people’s world… this ain’t the same little archie from idol 2008, and i just want him to sing and do well – that’s all…. it’s his turn to come back and has his day in the sun…. as will all the others like elliott and melinda :smile1_tb:

  • DawnMarie1

    Does this mean we won’t get Jason on this year? = ( It seems we are running out of time for that. I guess I have to settle for seeing the top of his head in the audience…LOL

  • temkanoe

    i hope this isn’t true! i really hate that he’s going to miss his first two shows in the UK.

    i hoped that he would have kept that top 3 slot people kept talking about and I hope!!!! that he doesn’t sing a ballad! he’s a lot better on the stage than he was before on Idol.

    eh, i just hope he gets a good response out of all this.

  • Jolene

    Has a third single been announced for Archie?

    Archie doesn’t have a 3rd single, and right now I doubt he will. If there was a plan to put one out, the smart thing would have been to set an add date close to the Idol performance and let it be the public debut of a new single (Like all the other Idols have done so far, except maybe Kelly and Kellie, who both performed current singles released a while ago).
    I thought they might do that with Touch My Hand, but as far as I know right now there is no add date for it or any other single.
    Or this might be a last shot to save ALTNOY, the question is if it’s not too late, considering it lost it’s bullet weeks ago and is sliding fast on CHR. I don’t know how much of an impace an Idol performance can have at this point.

    I hope no UK fans were going to those two shows especially for Archie.

  • Trina

    I really doubt (hope) they don’t try and use an AI performance to try and resurrect ALTNOY. I think it’s dropping too fast down the chart. Then again any song off the album being performed should help, if anything give the album a nice boost.

    Can we replace him with Melinda or Elliott? His album is done, and his song has already finished flopping. He has nothing to promote.

    He deserves a shot just as much as anyone else. He made it all the way to the final 2 and every single runner-up except Diana has been back on to sing. If anyone is getting screwed over it’s Taylor who won the damn show and Idol continues to treat like garbage.

  • soundscene

    It sucks he’s missing those first two dates.

    For those asking about a new single–it’s not happening before next week. This first album is likely done in terms of singles because Jive may be releasing a second album for David this year. That’s what I’ve been hearing a lot. It’s the Jonas Brothers model of album releases–1 to 2 singles per album, 1 album per year.

    So he won’t be premiering anything or promoting a single. What he will be doing is promoting himself. A lot of Idol watchers have the completely wrong impression of what David is capable of, and David himself has grown so much over a year’s time. My hope is that he doesn’t sing ALTNOY–there’s really no need to sing it now, the only thing it’ll do is get it to chart on the Hot 100. ALTNOY is a midtempo ballad and he stays at the mic stand for most of it usually. I’d rather him sing an uptempo like Touch My Hand–lots of crowd interaction with that one. Even Crush would be better since it’s a faster midtempo.

    I suspect, though, that they’ll go with ALTNOY just because it’s the most recent single. He’ll do great on it; just wouldn’t be my choice. (And I don’t think they believe it’ll be resurrected on the radio; that wouldn’t be why he sings it) Originally David’s band was NOT going to be at his Idol performance (unsure as to why) but now they will be there (thankfully), so he doesn’t have to be backed by bandzilla.

  • lizland

    With a new Jordin single, I hope this means my Hot AC station will stop playing One Step at a Time. That song gets on my last nerve. Otherwise, meh on a Jordin visit.

    It will be good to see Archie again though. I’ve only heard Crush, which is a great song. Hopefully he has something similarly good coming as a next single.

  • soundscene

    Well, not just that, but his success alone outside of Idol should earn him a spot, not just because he came in 2nd.

  • ggdoorsfan

    he’s going to be ok, i’m sure, missing the first two uk shows…. and yes – do.not.want.to. hear. a. ballad :tongue1_tb: but at the end of the day…. with david, it’s all good…. rumor also has it that his band from the solo tour is going to be backing him up on stage… that makes me feel more confident that anything that comes out of his mouth that night is going to be great, because they are a tight unit, and have great rapport with david onstage… they really helped him loosen up on stage during his solo tour, and helped bring an extra level of energy to all his shows… whatever he does, and they do is ok with me… just seeing david making his return to idol will be great… shoot – there may even be a tear or two shed from some of us softies – don’t lead the hard exteriors fool ya :wink1_tb:

  • frogcooke

    Yeah yay for no bandzilla! I also want him to do TMH so he can move around and interact.

  • SashaB

    Go Archie! I’m glad Idol is bringing him back. Should make for a nice bump to his album sales, too. Awesome.

    He’s doing better than Jordin did this time last year, no? Heh. I can’t believe Jordin has a new album already. Wow, that’s fast.

  • Valentin432

    This has been one of the best improvement this season, I know they invited Idols the last seasons too, but now it’s deliberate that they’re inviting every week a new one.

    Daughtry is definetly coming back too, even if they have to rush his single release fot that to happen.

  • Dr. Tracey

    David A I don’t mind, Jordin Sparks I don’t give a crap about, too bad it’s not Elliott instead.

  • Paula

    He deserves a shot just as much as anyone else. He made it all the way to the final 2 and every single runner-up except Diana has been back on to sing. If anyone is getting screwed over ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Taylor who won the damn show and Idol continues to treat like garbage.

    I agree that David does deserve a shot, but so didn’t Diana, who never got one and specifically Taylor who after all was the Season 5 winner. Viewership has gone down every year, and AI still hasn’t figured out why.

  • mb

    So excited to see David back on the AI stage! He has grown so much as a performer since last year.
    The fact that his band will be with him makes me think he will do ALTNOY or TMH, but the fact that he will be performing live makes me wonder if he will sing TBWY with kara.
    Do guests every perform two songs? Since he changed his date from top 3 to top 6 is it a possibility that he will be doing an upbeat track like TMH then a ballad like TBWY? TBWY would actually give AI alot of buzz since it would be the first time a judge performed with a past idol but I’m sure Jive wants him to do a youthful, pop track. Maybe this is a compromise? Here’s hoping.

  • tinawina

    Elliot and Melinda might still make it on. They do all these thing so last minute it seems, so you just never know.

    But I do agree that I’m enjoying all these past idols’ return. It’s just nice to see everyone.

  • kryptonmania

    David Archuleta definitely needs the boost on his album sales.

  • temkanoe

    David Archuleta needs to stay away from Kara D. Effing NO! she completely gets on my nerves and is only a judge, she is not supposed to sing on the damn show. It completely pisses me off, and lol, i can’t think of any zingers here, but she just pisses me off.

  • Skylark

    Gah, I hate these last minute rush jobs. I was looking forward to a well-planned top 3 appearance for David to coincide with either a major media push for ALTNOY or a new single. Hope they can still maximize this valuable AI opp. Regardless, David will “work it out”!! Love him!!

    Do guests every perform two songs?

    Fantasia got two songs during the S4 Top 9 results show (she sang ‘Truth Is’ and ‘I Believe’). But other than a few finales when some of the past winners have sung solos plus a duet or parts of group medleys, guest performers don’t usually get more than one song. Honestly I’m not sure Archie will get a plaque presentation either just because of time constraints. It would be nice if they gave him his platinum for ‘Crush,’ but I’m not counting on it especially if they also have a mentor next week that needs pimping in addition to the second guest performer. The performance alone should really pump-up album sales though, regardless of what he sings.

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

    Yes!11!!!! :clap_tb: :jittery_tb:… first result night show that I will be watching this season… sorry Criminal Minds and Spenser Read my love for Archie is bigger than my love for programs about serial killers…

    ETA.

    I think he should sing Barriers or Works For Me… Barriers will be a better choice but I really love WFM…

  • Skylark

    C’mon … an award presentation only takes a minute. So they go 9 minutes over instead of 8, it’s worth it!! Give us platinum “Crush”!!

    That might be hard to do since they haven’t certified Crush Platinum yet.
    They have certified the album Gold, but I’m not sure that means he’ll get the plaque.

  • ggdoorsfan

    aww come on jive – can you put a rush on the platinum certification for crush? i kid, i kid, because i know it’s not that simple, hahahha… but dang it, they can mention it, or something… cause regardless of whether you like him, or his music… it’s a hell of an accomplishment for a runner up – heck any contestant to hit platinum… he deserves those props, and it will be nice to see them acknowledge that… we’re just happy and excited as heck to see him on the show…. this is the most excited i’ve been about anything on idol this season…

    so good luck to david, and here’s to a memorable and successful ‘homecoming’ :king_tb:

  • Skylark

    Maybe it just got certified and it’ll be a surprise!
    Now THAT would be worth changing your plans!

  • jpfan

    There are four slots after JHud performs. One will go to Archie, Jordin gets one and Daughtry for sure. That will leave only one addiitonal slot and it could go to anyone of the following: Melinda, Elliott, Taylor, Jason, Micheal Johns or anyone else the producers pick.

  • jpfan

    By the way, my guess is that Castro gets the nod. He’s working with Kara and was supposed to be earlier in the season.

  • sma11ie

    This first album is likely done in terms of singles because Jive may be releasing a second album for David this year.

    Shocked… but then I’m not that familiar with the JoBros model. Hope this strategy works out for Archie. He’s so talented, and I’d much rather hear him on my Top40 station than “Kiss Me Through The Phone” or whatever.

  • soundscene

    Demi Lovato : David Archuleta

    Sprint CenterKansas City, MO

    Another venue the AI7 tour stopped.

    Crap, that place is friggin’ huge–18,500 capacity. Even with seats behind the stage closed off that’s got to be around 15,000. Do they really think David and Demi can sell that out? Especially since the Jonas Brothers are playing a week later in the same venue–that doesn’t bode well for parents who will likely take their child to either show, but not both. Ehhh… now I’m worried about JoBro competition since they’ll be hitting the same cities it seems.

    And I hope KC treats David better than its DJs do.

  • gingerly

    When is the pic at the top of the post from? David looks like a kewpie doll next to Jordin, and IMO her dress is all sorts of ugly and way unflattering. I think they’ve been dressing her better lately. She just can’t pull off the little girl look at all.

    But they’ve been having 2 musical guests a night, so one night they may double up on idols. And don’t forget the finale! Daughtry may appear on the finale, not a results night.

  • jpfan

    It would be great if they doubled up, but the formula is one current star plus one returning Idol. Also they have to have a few more musical mentors on before the season is done. So I’ll stick with my prediction that one slot is available. I’d love to be wrong but…

I don’t actually want to see Elliott or Kellie again. I’m not a huge fan of any of them. I just think that some have been overpimped at the expense of others who are just as deserving.

  • gingerly

    Thanks, ggdorsfan, a much much better picture. I had no problem with how David looked. I didn’t much like the two of them together and, well, I have issues with Jordin sporting the little girl tea party look always.

  • ggdoorsfan

    ain’t nothing wrong having a youthful visage…. folks in the entertainment industry – that includes men and women – are paying good money to plastic surgeons and what not for what david has been blessed with naturally… nope, david need not have to worry anytime soon about hair transplants, botox, skin peels, lip fillers and all that other superficial stuff that drives the artists in this bizz… good looks never go outta style – and when they’re natural – just icing on da cake :tongue3_tb:

  • MB444

    The sooner he performs, the better in my opinion because I just can’t wait any longer! David Archuleta is amazing!!! But I wish he had chosen “Touch My Hand” as his second single, or “You Can” (beautiful song).

    Quick, random question for anyone who actually read my comment: What does “FTW” stand for??? It’s been driving me crazy for the longest time because everyone uses it!

  • soundscene

    ^^ For the win.

  • mac

    I understand from a business perspective that the better choice was to cancel the two UK shows, and do AI, but that is also sort of crummy for the fans that bought tickets to see him. An obligation is an obligation. It is sort of like being asked out to the prom, and then someone “better” asks you out. You don’t cancel out on the first date. AI was a better gig, so they canceled the tour performances. I understand why they did it, but it doesn’t seem right.

  • ggdoorsfan

    i feel ya about the yellow dress gingerly… jordin is really a beautiful girl, but some wardrobe choices have been… interesting :ponder_tb: i’d love to have her hair and her height – i’m a shorty, so it would be kinda nice towering over someone for a change :smiley2_tb:

  • KathyH

    This Kansas City area fan is excited to hear that David will at the Sprint Center in July (that place IS huge.) My daughters and I have the date marked and are deciding which friends to invite along. Demi’s portion of the concert will be a little fringe benefit or a small price to pay, depending on which daughter I ask. ;)

    On the Idol appearance: It’ll be my first time watching this season, and I can’t wait. (I did watch a few other season 7 performances on the tube, of course. And if Jason performs, I’ll watch that one, too.) I have songs that I’d love to hear David A. sing, but I’ll be happy with whatever.

  • MB444

    I think Jordin is adorable.

    grrr, I’m spending the summer in GA and FL. That arena is just a few minutes from where I live too :(

    Yeah, some of them have been really rude to him..

  • ladymadonna

    That might be hard to do since they havenà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t certified Crush Platinum yet.

    D’oh. You’re right of course. Should have checked the RIAA database before I posted. Somehow I had it in my brain that they eventually did certify ‘Crush,’ but I guess not yet.

  • Keel

    What are they waiting for with Crush? Double plat?

  • abbysee

    I am glad that David is going to appear on idol. I am a bit sad that it interferes with his UK commitment but I don’t mind a little idol pimpage. I don’t even care if he sings ALTNOY, if it gets a little goosing great. Of course I would rather him sing Zero Gravity, Your Eyes Don’t Lie (stay out of the most pit David), or even Touch My Hands. Anyway, it’s all good.

    I also would love to see Taylor. Damn, he really must have pissed someone off big time.

    The concerts aren’t canceled–they’re McFly concerts. The show will go on with or without David. And, let’s be realistic here, David isn’t well known in the UK. American Idol isn’t all that popular over there–not like it is here. Yes, David has some fans in the UK, but I would estimate that 98% of the concert-goers for those two dates are going for McFly, not for David. And the other 2% are probably David fans that are also McFly fans who will at least be comforted by the fact that McFly is still doing their show.

    Yes, it sucks that he’s canceling his opening spot for those two dates, especially for the fans he does have that will be going to those two shows, but I can understand it from a business standpoint. I really doubt David likes the idea of not doing those two shows–he probably hates it, although he would be openly cool about it because he’s so even-keeled. Last year OneRepublic canceled an entire concert to appear on the finale–it’s that important of an appearance. And my understanding is that it took awhile for them to decide on the date switch–it wasn’t a decision made lightly.

    keel only jive knowsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ :|

    Yeah, Jive is slow on the ball getting things certified.

  • caringgirl

    It will be great to see Archie again. Whatever he sings, it dont really matter because he will benefit from whatever it is. People who havent followed him closely will see him and say..wow let me check to see if he has a cd out. Im sure his cd will get a big boost from his appearance..so its a win win situation:)

  • Lexus

    I’d love for David to perform Zero Gravity when he appears. People are ready for something new. ALTNOY bores me to tears and Crush has been done to death. So long as its not a ballad, he’s probably good. Otherwise we’ll hear ad nauseam that he hasn’t changed since the finale.

  • soundscene

    Otherwise weà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll hear ad nauseam that he hasnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t changed since the finale.

    We’re bound to hear that anyway from certain folks. Some people see what they want to see.

    I’m thinking we’ll get ALTNOY, simply because it was the most recent single (regardless of whether it’s dead on the radio or not). If he sings that, there will be standard complaints from people who never liked him on Idol. ALTNOY is an angsty emotion-driven midtempo ballad. He really gets into it, which means he looks like he’s in emotional pain when he sings it. And he closes his eyes sometimes, too (I still don’t forgive you, Andrew Lloyd-Webber), because that’s what a lot of artists do during angsty emotion-driven songs. I hope he moves away from the mic stand on the song, which he sometimes does during ALTNOY. Other times he doesn’t. I guess it will depend on his mood.

    I love David and Jordin… Jorvid is one of my favorites ships for Archie… can Jordin be in the audience… this two will have beatiful sining babies for sure!!!!!!!

    Zero Gravity is aout of the question… it isn ´t even a single… WFM and SOT don ´t appear in every copy of the albun, so they both won ´t work to promove the album… I have a new found love for YEDL since the UTAH show… I never liked TMH… Barriers, YEDL or My Hands will be my three picks to choose one to sing in AI…

    I find it very hard to believe that David Archuleta will cancel some of his shows in the UK to appear on American Idol. I think we better wait for a confirmation about this instead of speculating. Besides, he can pre-taped his appearance. David Cook’s appearance on idol was pre-taped; David Archuleta and other guests can do the same thing. I think we should wait for a confirmation before making any judgment or criticism. By the way, I can’t wait to see David Archuleta on TV again.

    I’ve missed your shipping cruzceleste. Have you shipped him with Lovato yet? Not as good as Jorvid, cause they will have the most beautiful, sangingest babies for sure, lol.

    Didn’t they have 3 musical guests last week? Frankie Avalon, Flo Rida, and Kellie Pickler? So, yeah, they could fit 3 musical guests moving forward at the results show.

    Not loving Jordin’s dress. Much better than what she wore on last year’s AI Finale though.

    David looks cute. Pointy hair. Heh.

    Well, on Motown week they had Ruben, Stevie Wonder, and the duet with Smokey Robinson and Joss Stone. They can fit a lot of people onto a results show if they want–actual results take, like, 5 minutes.

    David Cookà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s appearance on idol was pre-taped; David Archuleta and other guests can do the same thing.

    David A. can’t pretape this week. Technically I guess he could today, but there’s no indication he’s doing that (I think he’s still in Utah today). He’ll be at an event in another state tomorrow where people spent a lot of money to specifically see him, not a British pop band, so it would be really bad form to cancel that to pretape. Next week, he can pretape on Tuesday after the performance show, but given the timing he would still have to miss those two concerts.

    You’re correct it’s not officially confirmed, but I’ve heard this from a variety of different sources.

    BTW, I guess we don’t know who the other act next week will be??

    Thank you :bye_tb: …I know that my ships has a little fanbase in here :smiley2_tb:… I was starting to think that the tour whit Demi wasn ´t a bad idea… just though they could have a giant DD in the scenery or something alone those lines… plus they both have names that start with a D… she is shorter than him, 5′ 3″ (1.60 m) according to IMBD… I think I will ship them… maybe DAMI…DEDA sounds bad to me :/… what do you think???

    Isn’t he at some amusement park this week? It is the perfect fix for the problem–tape this week, but I guess it would have to be tonight after the show to work for his schedule.

    Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s the Jonas Brothers model of album releasesà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’1 to 2 singles per album, 1 album per year.

    The Jonas Brothers (like a lot of other artists) released 3 singles from their last album: Burnin Up, LoveBug and Tonight. Their album before that also had 3 singles released, so not sure what model you are referring to. They have released albums pretty quickly, but they have made use of the singles on the album.

  • abbysee

  • soundscene

    The Jonas Brothers (like a lot of other artists) released 3 singles from their last album: Burnin Up, LoveBug and Tonight.

    Tonight wasn’t from their last album–it was a live single released off of their JoBros 3D Concert Experience movie soundtrack. Soundtracks are whole different animals. If David does a Christmas album he may get a Christmas single–doesn’t mean it counts as a single off his studio album. Besides, it did nada on CHR (I’m not even sure it was released there)–it was probably played on Radio Disney, though. They got 2 singles off of their last album–Burnin’ Up which did very well, and Lovebug (hideous song, IMO) which reached the 30s on CHR, I believe.

    The album before that charted 2 singles–SOS and When You Look Me In the Eyes. If they got a third single off that album, nobody cared, or it was never actually released for pop radio airplay. The JoBros chart songs in the Hot 100 due to sales sometimes, even non-singles.

    The album before that had zero singles.

    Really? I am looking at track #6 on the “A Little Bit Longer” CD listing, and it says “Tonight”. The single was released January 4, 2009 (unless you disagree with Wikipedia, in which case then, you can amend their page).

    David A. put up a new vlog from the airport (when he got back from Asia–so… Sunday?).

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSB9WReXdiQ&feature=channel_page

    It’s funny–I was in the same creepy hallway last month (or a very, very similar one in the same airport), and I had no clue if I was going in the right direction. There was nobody down there and I figured security would come and snatch me. The beeping is because there’s this huge door that slams shut, cutting off one terminal from another, in case of emergency. I guess if the beeping gets faster or whatever you know it’s about to slam. When David looks back, he’s looking at that door.

    He talks about girls with cameras mobbing him after he got off his 16-hour flight (they were, of course “nice” lol). So I guess he used the underground route to get from the international terminal to baggage claim.

  • soundscene

    Really? I am looking at track #6 on the à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“A Little Bit Longerà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  CD listing, and it says à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Tonightà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ . The single was released January 4, 2009 (unless you disagree with Wikipedia, in which case then, you can amend their page).

    It was on their last album, but that’s not the version they released. They released a live version along with the live performance from the movie as a video. It was used to promote the movie. I suppose it could have a correlative effect on the album since the studio is on there, but it’s technically a single from the soundtrack.

    Also, as I said, I’m not altogether sure it was released anywhere but Radio Disney. I never saw an add date for it, and it’s certainly not charting on CHR. David could release just to Radio Disney if Jive chose to do that–RD would play it. I don’t think it’s all that important at this point though just to release something to RD. ALTNOY is still top 5 there.

    from mtv buzzworthy – they’re getting in on the tour naming game….

    According to Archuleta Fan Scene, Buzzworthy crush David Archuleta and unofficial Jonas Sister/ Taylor Swiftà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s bestie/Princess Protection Program and Sonny With A Chance star Demi Lovato (whoà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s been Tweeting up a STORM with John Mayer, but really, does ANYONE Twitter more than John Mayer?) will be making beautiful pop music together on a summer tour. And seriously, besides peanut butter and bananas, Michelle Obama and J. Crew, Rick Astley and Internet hijinx, and Tokio Hotel and Robert Pattinson (so that last one was probably just a rumor, but still) has there ever been a sweeter pairing than Demi and David?

    Archie has been pretty busy himself lately. He just got back from Malaysia, where he set off such a frenzy that he put Beatlemania to shame. Also, rumor has it David will be returning to à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“American Idolà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  to perform sometime next week

  • lifeisfun

    I putting my money on that david will sing “to be w/ you” and kara will sing the back up vocals like she did on the recording. then AI will spend a bunch of time praising kara for singing and it will take away from David!

    Also who wants to bet that Ryan will try to make David look stupid by asking him some dumb question? Just like he used to when david was on AI

    What Im hoping is that david will sing “zero gravity” and will release it as a single the day before!!!!! that would be awesome!!!!!!!!

  • smilepretty

    Does David have a 3rd single coming out? I thought they were moving onto album number 2, no?

    Demi Lovato just confirmed her tour with David on her live chat (I’m not in there, but the tweets about it are insane). There will sometimes be special guests like KSM (girl band, I think) and Jordan Pruitt (female pop singer, also signed to Hollywood Records).

    Big crush on Archuleta
    Over 5,000 fans scream their love for this American Idol runner-up at his first showcase here

    THOUSANDS of Arch Angels  ­(Archuletaà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s fans) got their wish  ­granted last weekend when fresh-faced teen sensation David Archuleta paid a visit to our shores.

    Fans came early to the showcase venue, and even when it started to rain, they kept on coming. The  ­amphitheatre was soon packed to the brim with over 5,000 fans occupying every inch of available space.
