    Fingers crossed David A gets a good album right out of the chute. I know I will buy it if I find even a few things to like on it. I really like this kid’s voice.

    Supposedly Josh Hoge and Ryan Tedder are writing a song for Archie’s album.
    They worked on Blake’s album and Tedder will be working with Cook at well.
    Archie could really kill with a strong ballad.

    Since this is about Archie’s possible future career move, there is a story by National Enquirer about Archie’s possibility being involved in HSM3. I think it is just a rumour since it is from National Enquirer but hey, it can be a possibility.

    Quote: “Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll be a tough fightà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦..but insiders say the tricky deal just might be worked out because Disney, Fox and Cowell recognize the fantastic cross-promotion that could generate Big Buck$$, The National Enquirer reports”

    Just to add a bit more, during the press release on HSM 3, the HSM Director Kenny Ortega gave flourishing compliments on Archie too.. Hmmmm….
