David Archuleta went on to the ALMA Awards. The 18-year-old with a golden voice sang Contigo En La Distancia, a song made famous by Luis Miguel, who was being honored by the group. It also gave David a chance to celebrate his own roots, as his mother is a beautiful Latina.
David himself is adorable, and very young. But once the boy opens his mouth to sing, it is utter magic. I watched him on Idol, and was constantly amazed at the level of musical maturity in one so young. And his voice is just so rich and full, I love listening to it.
David's first single was Crush, an amazing song that just entrances me. It was written perfectly for a 17-year-old, with charm and innocence about a time of growth. And David sang it with amazing control.
David finished in second on his season of American Idol, although I will admit I voted for him to win. He is maturing nicely, and I hope he has a long career ahead of him. To find out more about David Aruchuleta, go to his official webpage by clicking here.
