Whether on or off-cam, David Archuleta remains the sweet, humble and utterly adorable rambling guy that we have come to know.
But we can also glean from his various interviews that he is not comfortable talking about himself – even if we love him to do just that!
But in time, David has changed. He has become more open and deliberate in his delivery. He was even able to write an autobiography before hitting 21 🙂
So looking back to teener David circa AI, it is nice to have something to look back to. Here is a compilation of behind-the-scenes (BTS) AI clips while doing those Garnier, Coke and Ford segments.
I grouped the clips from all three sponsors and presented them from Top 24 to Top 2. They show some of David’s and his AIS7 buddies’ habits, preferences and inclinations with food, fashion, music, relationships and interests at that time. Will also show why Season 7 rawked 🙂
Can you see the changes with him over 5 albums, a book and numerous concerts and appearances?
Forward to 2014, will he revert to his old shy ways? Or will he be more sure of himself?
Sure hope it’s the latter cos he definitely needs to claim his rightful spot in the music world.

Mormon Tabernacle Choir wins first Emmy in 26 years; YouTube channel gets 5M views in first year
SALT LAKE CITY — The Mormon Tabernacle Choir has won an Emmy for the first time in 26 years, adding another major milestone in a remarkable year for the choir.
Yet another achievement came last week when the choir’s YouTube channel celebrated its first birthday by drawing more than 5 million views in its first year. Choir leaders are excited that much of that traffic came from international audiences it can track through statistics provided by YouTube that include some surprising information.
Those developments are aligned with the choir’s goals to expand its international reach, attract younger audiences and reflect well on the LDS Church.
The choir released a new infographic on Pinterest about its YouTube numbers. YouTube.com/mormontabchoir drew 5,045,535 views in its first year for 612 uploaded videos, including interviews, specials and the weekly broadcasts of “Music and the Spoken Word.”
The channel also collected 42,109 “likes” and viewers from 226 countries.
“We do want to reach a huge audience,” choir president Ron Jarrett said. “We want to take our music to everyone in the world who has access to a medium such as the Internet. We believe our music speaks to all of their hearts, whether they speak English or not. Our music will speak to their hearts, and then they can be touched by the Spirit, and that can then lead to a happier life, more joy, fulfillment, resolution of problems. We can be a means to bring a greater amount of joy and peace to the world, and we’ll do that one song at a time.”
The most popular video, by far, was “Bring Him Home,” from “Les Miserables,” which the choir performed with Alfie Boe. A David Archuleta song was second.
…
I’m getting very excited watching the countdown days get very close to 100!!!!
I’ve written a new article, I hope you enjoy it.
