David Archuleta Following The Tried And True Formula

November 12th, 2008 // 52 Comments

Express Night Out has a review of American Idol runner-up and so cute that you want to put him down the garbage disposal crooner David Archuleta‘s album, Archuleta, which dropped yesterday. Apparently his crazy stage dad prevented him from straying too far from the middle of the road, radio-friendly formula that’s worked for so many others. This is not math rock, Peaches, or Deerhoof. But you knew that.

“It’s a relatively pedestrian treatise on puppy love — a trail that folks like Paul Anka, David Cassidy, the New Kids on the Block and Justin Timberlake blazed long ago. And paved. And built streetlights on. And added a moving walkway to,” the review says.

The video for “Crush” is even worse. Archuleta, 18, plays piano by the side of a lake while chaste-looking teens touch in the water. It’s daring. At no time is the little guy exposed to a woman’s bare flesh. He briefly locks eyes with one. Clay Aiken, we have your successor!

    David archuleta is not gay , he ius just a nice guy that can sing high , has girls for friends(that does not make you gay some people even get married to their best friend….a girl),and sings to songs that started getting him to sing . Does any of this really make you gay???? If you said yes then your STUPID!!! Some people say that he is gay cause he sang to a thousand miles a song that a girl sang. That is rediculus , sing to guy songs more then girls does that mean I like girls?? NO!!!!! I love guys!!! For people that say he does not act like a man, he doesn’t. Nor does he need to he isstill a boy and does not need to act like a man for awhile. SO LEAVE HIM ALONE !! If you really belive everything you here (false rumors)then your not worth davids time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
