DAVID ARCHULETA: Concert Review!
With a smile that lights up the room, the always adorable David Archuleta took center stage at the Capital One Bank Theatre in Westbury, NY. As it was the last show for Archuleta's headlining the tour - Archuleta not only displayed songs off his self-titled debut album, but also performed songs off of his Christmas album. With the snow covering New York - the atmosphere truly made it feel a little bit more like Christmas.
Archuleta - who gained the majority of his popularity from 'American Idol' - since then has created a buzz, with two major singles - "Crush" and "A Little Too Not Over You". As this buzz has been created, Archuleta soon found himself at the level of being a teenage hearthrob. In Westbury, NY the theatre was filled with generally teenage girls - screaming their hearts out for the one and only 'Archie' as fans know him.
What is truly remarkable about Archuleta is his ability to reach out and interact with his fans throughout his performances. Even with over one thousand people in a room, Archuleta has this angelic aura about him that makes it seem like he's singing to each person individually throughout that room. During the fan favorite, "My Hands", being the always charming guy that he is - Archuleta reached out to several fans, holding onto their hands. If only the guy knew that by those quick seconds - he made his fans' lives, let alone their night. In the always up-beat, "Zero Gravity" Archuleta ultimately pumped up the crowd - making sure each section was granted the attention it deserved, as well as jumping around. Meanwhile- through it all, Archuleta never failed to miss a note. Within the duration of the show - Archuleta even took the time to 'slow it down a notch' as he headed towards the piano. Let's face it, this kid's talent is undeniable and truly remarkable.
Throughout the duration of the performance, Archuleta proved the soulful artist he is deep down. Not only can he belt out the highest of notes, but he knows how to move an audience at any given moment. Whether he may be flashing that perfect smile of his or doing a classic, 'hoedown' Archuleta has what it takes to remain in this industry for a lingering career. Never before have I seen something of what Archuleta has the ability to do, as far as connecting so closely to an audience. Just by his simple smile, you can tell that he truly loves what he's doing, and that passes over to his extremely happy fans screaming his name. As far as 2010, and the rest of Archuleta's career - I see only great and bright things ahead. Now, only time will tell.

Thank you so very very much for really getting David! Your review was heart felt and uplifting. David forever amazes me I may not be a screaming teenage girl, but I still remember how to scream for an amazing talent like David Archuleta!by ArchiesCrush @ 20 Dec 2009 11:51 pm

As far as I am concerned, I have never seen a boy of his age with so much talent. I am in fact, younger than him, a female, and I look up to him with so much adornment. I don't care if you don't like him, I don't care if you don't know who he is, but as soon as you hear him, you know he has something. He is put here on this Earth to entertain and to sing for millions. This is what God intended for him. This is his calling, his vocation if you will. These vocals at this concert I saw tonight was the most beautiful, passionate, truthful, flawless, meaningful thing I have seen in a long time, if not ever. This may have been my second concert, but it sure was the night to live for and I thank God I was alive to see this.by JennyFOD @ 20 Dec 2009 11:56 pm

Thanks for the great review and for your awesome pictures! There's nothing more fun and incredible than being a David Archuleta "forever fan!" I've loved music all my life but had never met an artist who completely captured my heart and soul the way David has. His voice is addicting and his beautiful spirit is infectious !! This past 1 1/2+ yr journey with him has brought so much joy, and so many great people into my life...all who feel the same! Loved his first pop album, LOVE Christmas From The Heart, and I can't wait for his 2nd pop album!! Thanks for choosing "THE ABSOLUTE BEST ARTIST to review tonight!! :)by janey @ 21 Dec 2009 01:05 am

I loved your review of David's concert! Thanks for writing it!
David is an incredibly talented young guy and is particularly amazing live. I think he'll be an American music great as famous as Elvis and Sinatra coz his talent is on that level. He has the off-the-charts voice and rare musicality coupled with such charm and genuine goodness, you can't help but love him.
I've seen David sing nine times. I am a completely devoted, OTT fan which is all new territory for me as I've never been a fan of anyone before this. I will be at his back and one of David's biggest fans until well past forever. You can bet the farm on that one.

I was there and the concert was so much FUN! Love all the comraderie between David, his band & Benton Paul and his band. Theyhad a lot of fun on the stage being the last show. As always, David sounded amazing and everyone loved the show! David is truly a very special artist/singer/songwriter. He made sure he walked all around the stage and interacted with the crowd. It was just an awesome show!by ME! @ 21 Dec 2009 08:32 am
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. DAvid truly is a remarkable artist and human being!! I am 43 years old and i've been following David's career since I saw him for the first time on his "American Idol" audition. He stole my heart with his heavenly voice and beautiful personality. I have no doubt that David is going to be one of the most successful singer/songwriter/musician in the music business as well as one of the biggest philanthropist! he is simply THE BEST!by Jewel @ 21 Dec 2009 09:16 am
Thank you for this wonderful review of David Archuleta. I have been a fan of his since I first saw him on American Idol. I am 58 years old and have never been a fan of anyone before this. I agree with all of the comments above. David touches your heart and soul with his amazing talent. This is truly a gift from God that he is meant to share with the world.
David Archuleta is the most talented singer/songwriter/musician in the business today and he is a breath of fresh air next to what passes as some of the talent we see today. I am a devoted fan forever.

David is UBER talented! His concerts are soooo much FUN! His musical talent is phenomenal! You haven't lived til you've been to one of his concerts!

Great pictures and review. I think he has grown so much since his American Idol days. He learns quickly and just surprises me at every tour with his new gifts. He can sing any genre that he wants to. I think he'll be around as long as he wants to and he'll be doing it "his" way. I love the soulful, meaningful songs best, but I actually love anything he sings. I even love to hear him talk.

Ah, David! What can I possibly say that hasn't already been said above (and all over his many fansites! He is definitely a STAR, and yet so humble about his many gifts. He feels that most other singers he meets are truly "amazing" and better than him, and he's always surprised at his fans' utter devotion. I'm not a teenager either, but a "forever fan" for sure. I do realize that those fans HIS AGE are so important, as they are the ones that will follow him "into the sunset" of his life. I wish I could LIVE FOREVER to grow with him - but I'm here, as someone said, "beyond forever."

Thank you for the terrific review and accurate description of David. But let's be clear. His adult fan base rivals the teenies, we just don't scream. Cheer and applaud, yes! I've never seen anyone so super talented, and he really connects with people on a different level. Bravo David for an amazing Christmas tour, I will never forget the experience.

Thank you for your spot on review of David . It just thrills me that more and more people are appreciating what we have seen for a long time now. I have never been a fan of anybody in my whole life ( lets just say I'm old enough to be his grandmothers best friend). He has fans from eight to eighty--male and female. He is a breath of fresh air.

:smile Thanks so much for the nice review of David's concert. I saw him in Salt Lake City, Utah on 11/24/09 with my sister (we are both in our 40's) and my 12 year old niece. We all had the best time! My sister & I were jumping up & down when he sang "Zero Gravity" just like my niece & all the other teens & adults that were there. He appeals to people of all ages because he is so talented, adorable, sweet & responsive to his fans. The minute David walks onstage and flashes his beautiful smile, the audience is hooked.

Thank you for the beautiful write-up for David. I am 56 years old and not ashamed to admit that I am a David Fan forever. I have attended 5 of his concerts and intend on seeing him live whenever I can. His talent is a gift to the world. My hope is that he will continue to share his gift with more and more people around the world for a long long time.

Thanks for the excellent write-up of David. He is the real deal and will be around for awhile. It is evident that not only is his instrument absolutely out-of-this-world, but his ability to connect with his fans through his music and spirit will keep him in the business for many years. Plain and simple - he loves his fans, and his fans adore him. It's a win-win! Come join us, we David Archuleta fans have so much fun together! It's just one big happy family! haha! I never get tired of hearing David sing....hours of it every day. It's just pure joy. :)

What a talented young man! He has such a beautiful tone to his voice and his joyful spirit just makes me happy whenever I hear him sing.
by Vickie @ 24 Dec 2009 07:56 pm
David is an accomplished performer and and amazing singer. He truly loves what he is doing and it shows in the passion he injects into each song. I am a fan for life. His musical talent is equal to his generosity and unequaled humanitarianism.
