In case you were wondering whatever happened to David Archuleta, here you go.
Myself, I can still remember when David Archuleta was on American Idol. There was actually a lot of controversy when he came in second to David Cook, which always struck me as a bit odd. Archuleta seemed like a nice guy with an okay voice. David Cook actually had talent.
(If anything, this was the season that showed how silly it was to have adult performers competing against teenagers.)
Oh, the Archuleta stans were crazy. I remember posting some very jejune criticism of Archuleta’s performance of Imagine on a message board and getting accused of being a “psychopath” for not enjoying Archuleta’s rather weepy interpretation.
My favorite that season was Jason Castro, just because of how obviously stoned he was.
As for today, Archuleta’s a boring ex-Mormon now. Who didn’t see that coming? This video presents us with Archuleta the angel, which is like whatever. I honestly think it wouldn’t hurt him to get a new management team. Either that or I guess he could become a perennial political candidate like Clay Aiken.
Enjoy!
