David Archuleta known to be the runner up of 7th season of American Idol (2008) just came here in the Philippines for the 3rd time to perform in front of his thousands of Filipino fans in one of the spectacular concert held in Araneta Coliseum last July 18. Well, Archie had really captured my interest for a good music, making him to be my favorite pop singer. I started to be a fan of him about 3 years ago when I first heard his amazing voice in American Idol Season 7 as a contestant of the said famous singing contest. Who could ever forget him for singing that phenomenal rendition of "Imagine" (which is a classic song originally sung by Elton John) at the early phase of the competition giving him that standing ovation and acknowledgement from the audience and the judges of that show. From that on, I tried watching the episodes of that show just to see him performing on that stage. Although Archie was proclaimed as a runner-up for that season (being David Cook announced to be the grand winner), it never stopped his fans to support him even after that singing competition. I would say that David Archuleta was indeed one of the successful singers from that phenomenal singing contest along with other contenders of the past seasons who never won the competition like Jennifer Hudson and Chris Daughtry. The undying support of his loyal fans led him to release his first debut album few months after American Idol's finale and his single "Crush" topped the U.S. music charts and became to be one of the most-played song in other countries including the Philippines. As of now, he was able to release three albums already that includes his debut album David Archuleta 2008, Christmas From the Heart 2009 and The Other Side of Down 2010.
Well, Archie admitted in one of the TV interview that among his thousands of fans around the globe, his Filipino Fans are truly closest to him. The fact that he came here in our country for about 3 times already proves this. He also mentioned in that TV interview that everytime he comes here in our country whether to promote his album or to have a concert, his Filipino fans never disappoints him for their warmest welcome and hospitality. And being one of those avid listeners of his songs, in fact I even attended his first concert (with David Cook) 2 years ago held at SM Mall of Asia concert grounds. That was really a thrilling experience for me, listening his live performance as he sung his songs including "Crush". So what's with his songs that keeps me to really love listening to them? For me, Archie's songs has this unique style that brings me this light feeling whenever I listen to his songs. It's like his songs has this aura of refreshing your mind and has strongly affectionate rhythm that suites my sensible taste for music (forgive me but I couldn't put it all in words). Being a fan, I had downloaded all his American Idol video performances (from his audition up to finale performance), his mp3 songs and music videos, read some articles about him and watched his video blogs from his site to keep updated like any other loyal fans out there. Definitely, I was really an avid Archie fan by doing all these stuffs to support him.
