And a touching story from someone who took singing classes right after David.
Thanks to @gemzone for posting it:
So to all @DavidArchie fans This is a story I heard yesterday about David and @therealnewangel wants me to share it here. So here it goes!
So I was working in Cottonwood Heights in Salt Lake County and a new client told me that her daughters took voice from Dean Kaelin. Their lessons were always right after Davids. She said that they would get there early just to listen to him. All this before Idol. Anyway one day they had to wait a little longer because David had been late to his lesson. Dean told them that David had been a half hour late. Said he came running in apologizing for being late. But he (David) had been out for a run and as he was running saw an older women out weeding all by herself and felt like he should stop and help her. Said he didn't want her to have to do it all by herself. So he helped weed until it was all weeded. So that was why he was late. She (my new client) said that Dean told David it was OK because he just proved to be the better man because of his character.
This is just one of the many reasons I love this young man!
And are YOU a slugabed?? ;)

The next Archuleta? Click the image below and skip to 2:04 on the video LOL (thanks Cristina for the find):
David is mentioned in this Preston Powis interview from Mindful Of Music:
David Archuleta co-wrote your debut single “Let Me In,” how do you two know each other?
David and I have the same vocal coach, Dean Kaelin. It was through that relationship I was able to write "Let Me In." Dean was the one who first encouraged me to write, and I'm fortunate to work with him.
The Osmonds, David Archuleta, Benton Paul, you’re among some very talented Utahn musicians, there must be something in the mountains there. How does it feel to be amid such great artists?
Didn't you know Utahns drink a glass of excellence every morning? (I'm kidding) :) Thank you, it's an honor to be listed alongside those great artists. It's great to see people following their passion, and they in turn inspire others to do the same. They're great, talented people doing what makes them happy, that's really the best example.

Top 10 American Idols throughout 10 Seasons
With American Idol Season 11 beginning tonight, I thought it was only fitting to take a look back at the past 10 seasons, and name the best Idol contestant from each year.
Season 7 - David Archuleta
David Archuleta auditioned for the seventh season of American Idol at just 16 years old, and became the youngest runner-up in his time at 17. Competing on one of the most popular and talented seasons, later to be up against David Cook in one of the most watched season finales, Archuleta won the hearts of everyone, ranging from teens, young adults, moms and grandmas with his stunning version of John Lennon's "Imagine." Now at the age of 21 with three albums and a best selling book, David will be making his first full-on acting debut, starring in Nandito Ako, a Filipino mini series, airing in February. Though he has a strong career and much more up ahead, David announced last month that he plans to take a two-year hiatus to go on an LDS mission for his church. David was, and still is, one of the most popular, most remembered and most talented singers that ever graced the Idol stage, and was definitely the best of his season.
