David Archuleta Ruled Myrtle Beach

This past Saturday was the 60th Annual Sun Fun Festival at Myrtle Beach, SC with appearances by Disney and Nickelodeon stars such as Emily Osment, Jake T. Austin, Ariana Grande and Noah Munck. But after a fun day of festivities, one special guest made it a night to remember. 

David Archuleta headlined the concert for the night, performing for the first time with all his new band members. Always a favorite, a huge chunk of the crowd at Myrtle Beach were there just for him! Singing songs from both his debut and his latest album, The Other Side of Down, with new arrangements and excellence from his band that delighted. 

Among his set list were also three covers, two of which he was performing live for the first time. The first cover of the night was "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" by Tears For Fears. A different sound for David, but he nailed it with the stunning flexibility of his voice as he got lost in the meaning of the song.

The next cover was one that was completely unexpected, but a perfect addition. "Blackbird" by Paul McCartney, also sung by Carly Smithson during David's season of American Idol. David knocked it out of the park with his soft, tender voice and soulfulness.

Last of the covers was one David performed acoustically not too long ago with only half of his band, and was even better with the full band and larger crowd. "Gotta Get Thru This" by Daniel Bedingfield, once again a different sound for David, but he definitely pulls it off. Halfway through the song David stopped singing to introduce his new bands members. One by one he introduced them as they played their instrument exuberantly, showing off their skills. 

 It's safe to say that David is going in a different, but better direction with his music as he takes a new step in his career. Songs like "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" and "Gotta Get Thru  This" are a change for the usual balladeer, but fit his personality better and give him a different voice aside from ballads. And by the looks of the Myrtle Beach turnout, it's no doubt that David's fans will be with him every step of the way as he enters this new chapter.
