DAVID ARCHULETA: Concert Review!
Posted by admin 20 Dec 2009

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.
