David Archuleta Signs On With Jive Records
Posted on Wed Jun 11, 2008 11:12 AM PDT
American Idol runner-up David Archuleta, 17, has signed a deal with 19 Recordings/Jive Records.
In a statement released on Jive's official website, Archuleta says, "Signing a record contract with 19 Recordings/Jive Records is truly a dream come true. Being a fan of American Idol since season one and admiring the alumni, I am honored and humbled to be a part of that group. I'm really excited to start working on everything."
Simon Fuller, creator of American Idol and chief executive and founder of 19 Entertainment Label Group, adds, "It was fascinating to watch David's journey through Idol. He is a genuine pop star, and is a gifted singer who instantly won over a huge audience when he first appeared on the show. Since then, he has dealt with the pressure and the high level of expectation with real fortitude; he's given us some of the best performances of the season. Without question David Archuleta has a great future ahead of him."
Yesterday, David posted a lengthy Myspace vlog thanking fans and giving them updates on his life. Needless to say, we're hoping his upcoming album doesn't drag on like the video blog does!
Are you excited for David's upcoming album? Or are you more of a David Cook fan?

He's the next Clay Aiken.
Come out of the closet already!
Well, thats a waste of space on that record label. He's NOT that good. It's these little teeny bop's that think he's cute. No one is going to buy that record. Unless....they have a sleeping disorder and need something to put them asleep. Wake up youngin's...he morman...he can't even date you right now kiddies!
He is a freak and if he is Mormon, he was definitely abused when he was younger.
hohoo, I am not that surprised at all. I saw his profile on the celebrities/rich men seeking affairs site ^^^Sugar daddy connect. c o m last week. It said he is interested in seeking a beautiful man for sugar baby on that site!
He looks like a eunuch.
I am so excited to hear about him to sign finally! I hope it comes out soon! I will definitely buy his album!
to Anonymous: I think you are the one that is a freak. Do you have a proof that he was abused? You better watc what comes out in your mouth or you will face in a lot of legal actions.Cabiz? Why are you putting the mormons down? You should respect their beleif as they respect yours. Shame on you!
All Mormons are freaks. They were magic underpants.
I would like to strangle this little boy with that oversized scarf around his neck!
He is a freak a gay freak! GO THE HELL AWAY
HEY Why so harsh and homophobic? The kid is very talented, that's all that matters, and I wish him much success in his career.
The kid is 17 years old! My son is 17 and you people are assholes. What makes you think the kid is gay? He's just a teenager with amazing God given talent and a pushy father. And who the hell cares if he is gay? You people are so judgmental. Why don't YOU go out and achieve your dreams instead of putting everyone who has down?
He has a voice that is so beautiful that when he sings I get the chills. I am not a teeny bopper, I am a grown woman and I can't wait for his cd. He is a nice kid that never says anything bad about anyone and thinks music can make the world a better place. I hope he doesn't read the really mean posts that sick people out there feel the need to make. Why try to hurt a nice kid like that. It makes you realize why people in the world can't get along and respect each other when that mentality exists. How sad. Good luck to David. He gives me hope.
He is an amazing singer, much better than the David Cook. I wish him much success.
I think he can't hit high notes and his smile is really ugly...
He has a great voice. Who cares if he's gay or not. Ask yourself why you're so threaten by what his oreintation...
I can't wait for his CD and all your jerks out there need to find something helpful to do with your spare time. BTW I'm a grown woman not a teeny bopper
I just ordered this sweet David Archuleta Shirt from www.PantherTees.com. They said not to tell anyone, but here is a 10% discount code pts10.
Amen to what Claudia said. I certainly hope David A. doesn't read what some of you are writing. He seems like a very sweet young man. Both Davids really seem like good friends. Let them be that.I for one wish David A. the best of luck and am waiting for his first CD. Can't wait to see them both on tour in Las Vegas.
He is going to be the next Elton John!!!!
some of you people are assholes, just because u see an innocent kid, doesn't make him 'gay', u are so homophobic. and yes, Jive is lucky to have him, u people are such talentless losers. Go David! Dont listen to those haters, they have nothing better to do than to type nasty things.
