“TJ” at Neon Limelight tells it like it is in this review of David Archuleta’s final “summer tour” concert with Demi Lovato in Atlantic City last night. (November 1, a rescheduled date) I am so happy to hear someone finally say out loud what we fans know about David: his “minimalist” stage craft suits him perfectly. He chooses to showcase his beautiful, powerful voice and not fill his time on stage with stupid things that have nothing to do with singing. Hurray, TJ!
…First up was Archuleta. Unfairly dubbed the opening act until several shows were abruptly postponed (Oh, Disney!), Archie made the most of his impressive 50-minute set. He’s a bit of a minimalist when it comes to showmanship — not a bad thing. He skips the flash and gimmicks many singers use to cover up their shortcomings and gets right to the meat of performing live — actually singing, and doing so damn well….
The entire review must be read by all David Archuleta fans!

I’m so glad you posted this article, I really wanted to say that I loved this when I read it, especially this part
“One of the biggest highlights from his set was a bare-bones cover of OneRepublic’s monster hit “Apologize.” Archie sat at his piano, spotlight fixed on him, and belted the tune with his smooth, haunting voice. Idol fans might recall season 8 winner Kris Allen’s version from the show — David’s slaughters his, and buries the original right next to it.”
And isn’t this the truth…..”Not only did we get to see his amazing talent, we got a feel for who he really is: sweet, funny, and a real charmer.”
Oh that is so perfect! So happy to read that someone knows what to say about David Archuleta!
