On musical influences section

Musical influences

Archuleta's mother is from Honduras, and much of the music he listened to as a child was Latin-influenced including watching his mom sing at events with her sisters.[19][21] She also "was big on dancing" according to Archuleta, and would "make" him dance to traditional music with his older sister.[22] He also listened to jazz music, he said, from his father's collection as well as gospel, pop, rock and "soulful music."[17] In a later interview, he revealed that his father was a jazz musician. Archuleta also said he enjoys Broadway musicals.[23]

On his American Idol "Fast Facts" page, Archuleta cited his musical influences as Natalie Cole, Stevie Wonder, Kirk Franklin and Bryan Adams.[18] When he listed his top pop music artists, he cited Natasha Bedingfield, Natalie Cole, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Bryan Adams, Kirk Franklin, and Robbie Williams.[18] Like Elliott Yamin and another singer he admires, John Mayer, Archuleta tries to infuse his pop selections with a soulful vibe.[17] In a Seventeen interview he cites Sara Bareilles as a clever singer-songwriter he looks up to.[24]

^ Fair presentation


but the 3rd paragraph is a cheap shot to build up charice's image...

To Alexander.hugh.george, Yes, Archuleta is amazed with charice's voice (leave it at that and be thankful if ur a fan...) but to the point that SHE INFLUENCED his singing??? come on! I havent seen/heard any archuleta music that would prove it. ANd what? are you telling archuleta fans that HE HAS NO BALLS to just follow what others told him JUST TO PROMOTE HIS CONCERT and HIMSELF? And that DAVID, suddenly became a BIG LIAR when HE FACED an INDONESIAN MEdia last APril 2009?

As for Regine, she never needed international exposure to be appreciated. She had her chances but decided to just maintain a stable career in our country. Don't drag her name into this. She's a music icon in the Philippines...She already belongs in our HISTORY. SHe doesnt deserve any of these. And I dont believe that David Archuleta is so corrupt to be involved in such scheme. HE's to sweet and sincere to do that... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Istatowin (talk • contribs) 02:00, 9 June 2009 (UTC)


If there's this "contractual publicity agreement" between the parties you mentioned then why issue guidelines like this during the press conference of two davids????

RUSHES SUNDAY What not to ask the 2 Davids Source: Philippine Daily Inquirer First Posted 22:44:00 05/16/2009


MANILA, Philippines—Media people who attended the press conference of Idols David Cook and David Archuleta were given instructions not to ask three questions.

The off-limits topics included: (1) the recent death of Cook’s brother; (2) Archuleta’s fascination for local diva Regine Velasquez; and (3) rumors concerning Archuleta’s gender.

No one dared.

end of article------------

pls. ALSO NOTE that DAvid mentioned Regine first before an Indonesian press (in Malaysia). here is the ORIGINAL TRANSCRIPT of the Interview


source: http://davidarchuletaindonesia.com/2009/04/17/transkrip-wawancara-david-di-malaysia/ Transkrip Wawancara David Archuleta in Malaysia! heuheu... ngepost disini aja ah.. hehehe.. ini transkrip versi Indonesia..

uuhh.. jadi tambah pengen ngilat David scara live.. T.T enjoy it!

So, here we go…

  • David, selamat datang di Asia. Sayang kali ini kamu nggak bisa datang ke Indonesia yaaa…

Aaaaaaw (dengan nada menyesal khasnya), aku tau. Aku pengen banget datang ke Indonesia sebenarnya. Tapi …mungkin lain kali…

  • Kamu harus tahu kalau seluruh fans di Indonesia mengharapkan kamu datang. Mereka semua juga titip salam buat kamu

Awwww (lagi-lagi dengan ekspresi khasnya*thud*), thanks. Bilang sama mereka aku juga titip salam balik. (cieee, dapet salam tuh dari David.Hihi..)

  • Oke, sekarang pertanyaan pertama. Apa sih yang pernah kamu dengar soal Indonesia?

Hmmm, nggak banyak (jawabnya sambil ngemil kacang-kacangan gitu. Haha) Aku pernah dengar soal Jakarta. Aku juga tahu Indonesia salah satu kota, eh, negara berpenduduk terbanyak di dunia. (Pas jawab ini ngomongnya agak belibet gitu deh.Lucu bangettt!Gara-gara konsentrasi makan kacang gw rasa..:))

  • Terus apa lagi yang lain?

Aduh, belum banyak orang yang cerita sama aku. Mungkin kamu bisa cerita? (Yah, dia nanya gw..Ampe ikutan belibet dah gw ngomongnya juga..haha)

  • Aku rasa kamu harus datang ke Bali. Kamu suka Hawaii kan? Menurut aku Hawaii dan Bali hampir sama. Banyak pantai…(even though Hawaii is much better I guess…lol)

Oh Wow, I have to go there, then…(Ya iyaaalaahh…jelajahilah Indonesia bersama IAA, David..hoho)

*Gimana dengan artis dari Asia? Apa kamu punya favorit?Aku denger kamu suka Charice Pempengco?

Oh, ya aku pernah dengar sedikit tentangnya. Tapi yang lebih sering aku dengar, Regine Velasquez. (Pernah denger Afgan ato Vidi nggak, Vid?Haha..)

  • Pertanyaan selanjutnya, dua singel kamu, Crush dan A Little Too Not Over You pernah jadi juara di lebih dari 40 stasiun radio di Indonesia. Gimana rasanya?Kaget nggak?

Oh, really? (Udah bisa nebak dong gimana ekspresinya?)Wow, that’s amazing! Aku benar-benar nggak tau gimana respon fans di Indonesia. Aku pernah dapat beberapa surat fans sih dari Indonesia. Tapi di Amerika aku baru pernah ketemu fans dari Singapura, Malaysia, Jepang, dan Korea. Jadi, aku belum pernah ketemu orang Indonesia di sana. Makanya aku rasa akan sangat menyenangkan kalau aku bisa datang langsung karena banyak orang terus-terusan bilang aku banyak fans di Indonesia. Bagiku selalu menyenangkan tampil dan bertemu dengan fans karena mereka sudah menikmati musikku dan aku ingin memberikan mereka apresiasi. (ooow, David!You’re such a nice kid, eh, boy, eh, man!..hehe)

  • Hidup setelah Idol, apakah sama dengan yang selama ini kamu bayangkan?

Hidup beda banget sekarang. Banyak orang tahu aku. Aku sama sekali nggak pernah ngebayangin orang di Asia juga kenal aku. Benar-benar gila! Ternyata di tempat yang bermil-mil jaraknya dari Amerika ada orang yang menikmati musikku. Aku juga sibuk banget sekarang. Bikin album, tur. Aku baru selesai tur solo perdanaku dua minggu lalu di Amerika. Oh, bahkan waktu tur itu aku juga nggak percaya ternyata aku punya fans di New York, atau tempat-tempat lain kayak Minnesota, atau di manapun. Haha…Ya, pokoknya intinya punya fans di berbagai negara benar-benar menakjubkan. (you’re officially a celebrity, huh?)

  • Oh, ya ngomong-ngomong aku suka banget Zero Gravity.

Awwww, thanks…(Seneng banget gw liat dia se-excited itu)

  • Ada kemungkinan nggak bakal dibikin singel atau masuk di album berikutnya?

Aku masih belum tahu. Itu semua tergantung label. Gimana mereka memandang lagu itu. Tapi mungkin respons fans sepanjang tur bisa membuat mereka berubah pikiran. Tapi ya untuk sekarang aku benar-benar belum tahu. (please, Jive! Nothing brings US down, when you’re around…It’s like Zero Gravity…Love it!)

  • Oh ya, aku pengen tau dong. Hal apa sih yang nggak akan pernah kamu lakukan di depan orang lain?Nyanyi lagu jonas brothers mungkin?

Hmmm, aku nggak begitu tahu lagu Jonas Brothers sejujurnya. (But) They really nice, I guess… ((Buahaha…Dia ngomong ini dengan ekspresi serius, tapi buat gw teteup kocak) Hmm, apa ya? Menari mungkin.. I dance with my friend if i’m hyper enough…Tapi kadang-kadang aku juga menari sendirian di kamar. I dance like an idiot. Stupid of me…Haha…Aku nggak akan pernah melakukannya di depan orang…

  • Wah, aku jadi pengen lihat…

I don’t know if I wanna do…(giggles)

  • Hal terbodoh apa sih yang pernah kamu lakukan di sekolah?Yang memalukan?

Hmmm, aku nggak tahu. Nggak inget. Aku selalu melakukan kebodohan, jadi menurut aku itu normal. Nggak ada hal yang bikin aku malu banget. Nggak tahu, deh. Menurut aku yang harus terjadi ya terjadi aja.Yah, pokoknya aku nggak pernah merasa malu melakukan hal bodoh. I always do stupid things… Haha…(Kalo gitu stupid things FTW!)

  • Oh, ya, kalau kamu bisa memilih nama panggung apa yang bakal kamu pilih?

Hmmm, David Archuleta? Haha…Nothing too fancy…Just me, David. I don’t know if there’s anything cool… Archie? (giggles)

  • Terakhir, bisa nggak kamu ngasih shout out buat fans di Indonesia?

^ so THEY'RE PART OF THE CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT TOO????

Again, ALexander.hugh.george aRE U TELLING me that Indonesian press is also part of the scam????

The source you've mentioned didnt include the sentences you attached concerning Regine. Keep her out of this!


I am beginning to hate ARchuleta because of this irresponsible statements...

Link to a another language Wikipedia article

Resolved

Hello, inspite of that that I am a registered user, I was unable to edit David's page. I have made a Hindi language article for him like this one. Please add its link in the left sidebar wiki links. it will be hi:डेविड आर्चुलेटा Check it out if you know Hindi.

Thank you. --Wikisidd (talk) 16:11, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

I added this for you. Aspects (talk) 16:31, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
I spoke too soon. My edit adding it messed up the page so I reverted it. This needs to be done by someone with more experience than I at adding other language Wikipedia articles. Aspects (talk) 16:35, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

According to Now That's What I Call Music! discography#United States that album doesn't come out until March 2010. When the article is created for it i suggest sending the redirect to David Archuleta discography. -- Banjeboi 02:32, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Student

It just occured to me, is he still a student? It's a small but important point. --MartinezMD (talk) 03:01, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

I found a reference saying he *may* not return, but if anyone has something more definite, I'd appreciate it. http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=3577262 --MartinezMD (talk) 03:08, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

It's an odd Wikipedia thing, we have reliably sourced he is a student ergo he is until we have one that shows the status is changed. It's likely the subject will be brought up in an interview or he'll blog about it. -- Banjeboi 22:47, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

David Archuleta won

In the recently concluded Myx Music Awards 2009 in the Philippines, David Archuleta's song, Crush, won as the Favorite International Music video beating Britney Spears' Womanizer, Jonas Brothers' When You Look Me in the Eyes, Paramore's Decode and Miley Cyrus' 7 Things.

This might be helpful on the Crush article but not likely on this one. -- Banjeboi 09:10, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Fired his Dad

Not enough time to fully vet this but it seems that when he turned 18 David fired his dad.[1] -- Banjeboi 03:41, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
The person on the page you are citing is giving a fictional review of an album. Jeff is still David's manager.

revision to chart

I know it can be written that he was safe every week but go around to all the AI contenstant charts and you see the result of every week in the chart. Garynine (talk) 19:59, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Yea and they all should be changed. Just as we don't beat the obvious into people we don't need to state ___ has again gone another week. The info of what order they sang is also unhelpful. The lede clearly states he finished as the runner-up and we can give credit to our readers that they will realize that he didn't just sing those songs as a special guest. I'm not going to delete on all those other AI articles but I believe that should happen. -- Banjeboi 02:37, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
So you think if someone wants to know if a contestant was safe they can go the American Idol season page? Garynine (talk) 15:24, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
The chart is a supplement to the text which should be clear. The lede should state as of April 2009 ____ is a contestant. And when eliminated it states that info. Likewise with bottom three info, if it's relevant it will be in a reliable source - and OMG every bit of this stuff is covered - so we then cover it. _____ has never been in the bottom three or ____ has been in the bootom three twice before elimiation, etc. The order they sang? That seems likes it's original research or, sorry to say, fancruft, but not helpful on the biography articles. We have no reliable sourcing that the order impacts anything although it might. It ends up being as trivial as what they wore, their hair, who the friends were in the audience etc. If any of it is covered in reliable sources then maybe. Meanwhile the season article does a fairly good job of organizing the rest. Last year i took this article on and I guarantee it's been a non-stop effort to keep it cleaned up. Most people do have good intentions but there are a lot of fans who insert unhelpful bits. Sorry for not responding sooner but I do watch this page and you can always prod my talkpage if needed. -- Banjeboi 00:50, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

faith and personal life

he lost american idol to David cook.lifestory claims david is morman but I am not positive.He says he has never had a girlfriend because he was not intrested he is still single but is looking for a girlfriend.--207.69.137.29 (talk) 21:48, 27 April 2009 (UTC)Bold textsweetheart2009

So, isn't it a bit ridiculous to have a heading that says "faith and personal life" and there's no mention of his membership in the Mormon faith? Crazy. That's a big deal. He's probably the only Mormon on the charts in the world right now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.21.57.2 (talk) 22:55, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

His being Mormon has been in the article for quite some time, as soon as we had a reference for it actually. -- Banjeboi 23:02, 30 May 2009 (UTC)


Is he part of the LDS? Yeah that would be interesting to know.... if he is part of The LDS Mormon church or The Missiouri Mormon Church "The Community of Christ." If he is part of The LDS isn't like Marriage so important? So is he looking into dating with the LDS Cult? And is he going to go to a missionary trip like all the LDS Young Men do? I'd like to know more about his involvment with his religion.

Yes, he is LDS. I will edit the article to reflect this. See this link for his statement on performing his mission http://www.tmz.com/2008/05/09/david-archuletas-missionary-position/ (unfortunate title for link, no?  ;) )DFS (talk) 12:59, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Name of the church A minor change: the name of the church is "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" (note the hyphenation and the lower-case 'd' in "Latter-day"). It's a nit, but since the different Mormon sects use different hyphenation and capitalization, so accuracy is more than just semantic wonkism. Terceiro (talk) 18:15, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Edit something

Hi there, I need someone to edit something for me. It is nothing major, only a redirect on a wrong spot. Under "Discography" someone made a redirect link. I think it should be removed. Thanks. ^^ 121.55.251.215 (talk) 11:28, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Which link? -- Banjeboi 23:00, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Move?

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was NO CONSENSUS to move page, per discussion below. As there are only two David Archuleta articles now, disambiguation is adequately handled via a hatnote. Unless the other David Archuleta seems to be a primary topic, the status quo works. -GTBacchus(talk) 02:42, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

his favorite color

i just want to ask about his favorite color..because im curious.can anyone tall me about David's favorite color? thank you.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.54.32.56 (talk) 14:22, 31 August 2009 (UTC) ????? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.53.56.78 (talk) 21:21, 5 September 2009 (UTC) There are more interesting questions and curiosities!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.53.56.78 (talk) 21:23, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Unless this is somehow notable to his singing ... it's likely we don't care. Soem of the fansites might know. -- Banjeboi 02:35, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

dad's business / occupation add?

Not sure where this might go, but some interesting details of David's dad's occupation in Utah.

In 1998, Jeff Archuleta founded a computer services firm in Salt Lake City called Arch Consulting, which specializes in reselling used business technology equipment. The company flourished when the dot-com bubble burst in 2001. After David's Star Search success, Jeff expanded his business to include CD production and distribution and music production for young artists.

Official Youtube?

I think this actually might be his YouTube channel. Anyone know how to confirm? -- Banjeboi 02:57, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I'm 100% sure that it's David's official youtube channel, David has mentioned it himself in an interview. Subscribe and get updates from him! HPfanRinnie (talk) 02:19, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Do you know what interview he mentioned it? That might help. -- Banjeboi 03:22, 3 January 2009 (UTC)


Where Is His Honduran Nacionalty

Is Unfair that Only Put His United States Nacionality!!!!! that is why U.S is great!!! by The immigrants and their descendants but it is unfair that only one nationality is mentioned when it is shared by two Loved countries Thats Why Giussepe Rossi Play for Italia National Team Because He Has Two Nationalities Althougt He Born In U.S, but His love/Loyalty is For Italia!!!!

nationality/ethnicity

I know this has been brought up before but if anyone has strong sourcing it would be nice to settle this, the tweet link is bogus as far as i can tell. -- Banjeboi 13:51, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

His father is not Spanish but of Basque descent. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.178.224.130 (talk) 19:34, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Main/Cover Picture

Hi. It's October 2010. When was his main/cover picture taken? lol

I like this picture and it should be kept in the article, but since a new album release is in, well a matter of days, a new picture(s) would make this even better. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.226.192.81 (talk) 04:20, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Sexual Preferences

Is it right to mention his alledfed homosexuality, or at least mention is has been alledged ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.96.222.82 (talk) 11:50, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Unless there is a reliable and valid source for that information, it shouldn't go into the article. "Alleged" is not good enough to qualify as a reason. We can say "David Archuleta is allegedly bald; he's only wearing a wig" and put it on the article. It's not exactly true, isn't it? Hence, we can't make a statement about his sexuality based on allegations. Zacharycrimsonwolf 13:49, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Record Label

How come you guys didn't mention that Jive dropped him from his label. There are loads of sources, just google it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.108.26.215 (talk) 20:39, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

He was not dropped. He actually mentioned it in his blog that week after google blew up; Jive had offers. Probably for another 3 year contract. He decided it was time to move on. ...From my eyes and a professional stand point; he made the best decision because Jive doesn't exist anymore.
