Teen Ink

I think this was great review on davids song. I like how you said, " I grew up with the music my ad played in the car." I was the same way so i know what you mean by " what makes us fall head- over -heels in love with this 17-year-old rising star?" You may not think you will like his songs but then you do and you can not figure out why. I think you gave great reasons for why David is a good signer.

 

granted im not a big fan of american idol..david surprised me. im usually into alternative music but i listened to his cd and granted it is pop i fell in love with it

 

I sbsolutely love this piece on David Archuleta. I think the author expressed amazing reasons why David is a good singer. I also enjoyed when the author encluded the part with all of the questions. It made you think of why David Archuleta is so appealing to young and older people.

 

I absolutely salute..to Archie ....He has the best attracting voice...that is why he is my no. 1 idol...thanks by the way for all those who support him...God Bless

 

David's music is awesome. He influences many younger singers to keep singing even if thier voices aren't mature. David has done alot to get where he now and all of his fans will agree. He may be young and his voice slightly mature but I mean who really cares, his voice is perfect for him! David's voice is amazing and mesmerizing. I love his music and his voice. He seems like a nice teen.

David Archuleta. . . just the name makes tweens scream. He is such a truly amazing artist that is grouded in his faith. The album reflects his heart and innocence. I loved it before I read this article and I love him even more after! Awesome:)

Thank you for recognizing a true artist. David has the ability to touch your heart and soul with his music. His album is on constantly in my car. I love this album. I hope others that have not bought it will go get it after reading your fantastic review.

 

YEs,that's totally true!David is such a different type of teen star
and that's refreshing=)I'm glad he's received numerous positive comments!

Way to go,Archie!Stay grounded^^

 

David's album is wonderful, but he has grown so much since he recorded it.. I am super anxious to hear more him! His live shows are amazing. The changes he makes on that stage take every song to a whole different level. He is a true artist and I am proud to call myself a fan for life!

Thanks so much guys for all your beautiful comments.
I agree with EVERYTHING you are saying! David's songs are so amazing. It is absolutely amazing that they are so clean and so uplifting. His music really makes you feel awesome. Not only is his music amazing, he is probably the most down-to-earth, sweet and caring guy in the world. I'm glad so many of you like him! What can I say, I'm a fangirl. (:

 

I love David and love the album, to the chagrin of my friends. My only comment is that the album is too formulaic as well as overly produced (clap tracks for example)and does not feel like this is the authentic David. I hope he grows into his fame and has a long career. I would like to see him take more control over his musical direction and turn into a Disney-esque product for the prepubescent girl audience. He has a real voice and real talent. He should be targeting more mature audiences.

 

I love David and his album! He's the best--period!! If you ever get a chance to see him live, though, don't miss it. He is sooo good in person, it's unreal. What an exquisite voice, what a gorgeous and endearing person! HUGE fan here if you can't tell!

 

Music is the univeral language, and David Archuleta knows how to capture and convey a song's meaning, and connect with the listener better than any other contemporary singer. Billboard got it right when it said David has the voice of a generation! If you haven't heard his album yet, give it a try. I think you'll be astounded at how good it is, especially if you thought it would sound like some of the material he was confined to singing on American Idol.

 

I love David's album, it is awesome and I listen to it over and over and over. And your review, right on.

 

Awesome review!! THANK YOU!! Nice to know that even rockers appreciate talent when they see it and hear it!! David Archuleta has only scratched the surface of the Music Industry!! This young man is EXTREMELY talented with a voice that soars to the HEAVENS above!!! David Archuleta also has a heart of GOLD that may be BIGGER than his voice -- and that is saying TONS!!!

 

My wife bought david's album for her but I have to say I'm hooked on it. This teen has beautiful vocals w/ great control. I can't wait for his next album to come out.

 

This is a wonderful review of David Archuleta's album. He's such an amazing singer and artist and a few of the songs on there, he co wrote. I listen to his album every day and I've bought over 50 copies to give out to others to enjoy it also. I would love for him to release a Live version of this album. I can't say enough about how wonderful he is singiing Live. Any one who doesn't have his album yet should definately go out and buy it!

 

Great review! I have listened to David's CD since I purchased it on November 11, 2008. There is something for everyone on it. Some days, I play it nonstop. On other days, I play it nonstop AND I search for certain tracks depending on my mood. David's vocals are absolutely stunning and his songs reach out to you! There is such a great connection! He makes you feel so much in such a positive way! That's what makes his CD so AWESOME!

 

Love the review! It's so awesome to see a review which says everything I believe about an artist...and David Archuleta is one of those artists who attracts all ages and for the very reasons you just pointed out.
He is such in idol to me. I think every teen should have David Archuleta pictures on their walls and I love every song on his album for different reasons, but none of them are because it is explicit or something I'd never let another teen or parent for that reason to listen ... (more »)

 

An honest review, I agree with every word. To steal from Simon, "absolutely on...the...money!" David is the most refreshing artist, ever. And I'm somewhere right in the middle of 7 to 78.

 

I agree with the article and the mystifying fact that we have fallen in love with this young man. What is it? I don't know. All I know is I care about him; I love his soleful singing. I love his exhuberance of life. I know he is at the beginning of a long and great career.

 

What a great review!
Thank you so much for your king words. David deserves them indeed.

 

Your article is spot on :-)
Archu-mania has arrived!!!

 

Thanks Jillian for the great review of my favorite singer. I'm 60 and loved the Stones and America also, along with ELO and some of the rock bands, but when I heard David's voice for the first time, I had just NEVER heard a voice like that in my lifetime. He's in another stratosphere, and I would bet my life that he is heading toward legendary status. The whole world will be in love with THE VOICE soon, very soon.

 

Thank you for the wonderful review. I agree that this is an ablum that you never get tired of. I am an older fan of Davids I have 5 grandchildren and my oldest daughter loves the fact that her 12yr old daughter and 10yr old twin sons can listen to the album and she doesn't have to worry about the content of the songs. She knows that everything David sings is clean and uplifting. Gotta love him!! Well done David!

 

Awesome review--awesome album--listen to it everyday--but the BEST is to go to his concert and see him LIVE!! LUV David Archuleta!!

 

Great review! I absolutely love this CD. From the beautiful ballads to the uptempo songs, David's voice just soars. There's nothing like it.

 

Great review and I agree with everything -- and as much as I love the album, I love hearing David sing live even more. (OKC concert) He's so talented.

 

You are so right!

 

Fantastic article, and I agree with you 100%! There isn't a day that has gone buy since the release of this cd that I haven't listened to it! David will be around in the music business for a very long time! :)

 

i totally agree with you..David is so talented and his cd is amazing! i love it and i liste to his cd everyday!!my favorites: Touch my hand, a little too not over you, running, You can, Barriers, Crush, your eyes don't lie, waiting for yerterday, well i love the whole cd!!

Thanks so much guys!
I love all the itunes tracks and I agree, seeing him live is AMAZING.

 

Awesome review!!!! David Archuleta's first album is fantastic! It is not only David's voice that makes this CD amazing, but also the emotion you feel and hear when he sings. The bonus tracks are excellent too. And if you think David sounds fantastic on this CD, you have to listen to him live. No words can describe that heavenly experience. I'm his fan forever! (and I'm not a teenager).

 

Super review! I am a huge fan. I recommend the iTunes Deluxe or Amazon MP3 Deluxe version which include 3 bonus tracks, and you can now pick up the other two bonuses (Works for Me from the Walmart Deluxe CD and pre-order-only Somebody Out There) as individual tracks on iTunes or Amazon. Then you'll have almost everything. At BuildABear you can get a sweet song David sang for their charity drive, and be sure to check out two new songs on YouTube - Save The Day from the Japan release and the am... (more »)

 

Great job! I already have it but I'd buy another one just because you said to!

 

Your review captures what so many of DA's fans admire about his music. Well written!

 

OMJ! THAT TOTALLY ROCKED THE HOUSE ARCHIE'S SOON TO BE WIFE!

 

Totally true! I STILL haven't gotten tired of listening to it! I would recommend getting the Itunes version though :D with the incredible bonus songs!

 

fantastic!
