Pop singer-songwriter David Archuleta performed at the 1st Annual Eunice Kennedy Shriver Challenge on Saturday October 23 in Washington D.C. The event featured more than 700 participants who walked, ran and biked to help raise money for the Special Olympics and Best Buddies International. The 19-year-old performed five songs at the event. They were “Angels,” “Crush,” “The Other Side of Down,” “Falling Stars,” and “Elevator.”

Archuleta also took the opportunity to tour a bit of the nation’s capital and even tweeted about it: “At the National Geographic headquarters. It’s amazing! All the research that goes into the stories they do.” He also dropped by Georgetown Cupcake, which he described as “awesome!”

Archuleta began singing and performing at the age of six. At ten, he won the children’s division of the Utah Talent Competition, and he became the Junior Vocal Champion on Star Search 2 at the age of 12 with his version of “You’re All I Need to Get By,” winning $100,000.

At 17, Archuleta was the youngest contestant on American Idol ‘s seventh season. In May of 2008, he finished in second place behind winner David Cook, receiving 44 percent of more than 97 million votes.

He released “Crush” as the first single from his self-titled debut album in August 2008. The album was released two months later, debuting at number two on the the Billboard 200 chart. The album went on to sell more than 750,000 copies in the U.S. and over 900,000 copies worldwide.

Archuleta released his second album, The Other Side Of Down, on October 5 of this year. The first single from the album was “Something ‘Bout Love.”

SPOTTED: American Idol's David Archuleta

We bumped into American Idol finalist David Archuleta at Zatinya last night -- and we're totally crushing on him.

We'd tell you where he's staying, but then we'd have to tape your mouth shut 'til he leaves.

So we won't.

What we can tell you is that he is in town for the "Eunice Kennedy Shriver Challenge," which is an event benefiting Special Olympics and Best Buddies International. David will perform at the event.

Making the most of his time in our nation’s capitol, David Archuleta was
spotted out and about in Washington DC last night (October 21).

The “American Idol” alum is in town ahead of his performance at the Inaugural Eunice Kennedy Shriver Challenge scheduled for 7:30am on Saturday (October 23).

David was more than happy to pose for a few paparazzi pics, looking cute and casual in a grey hoodie, green v-neck, and vintage wash jeans.

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver Challenge is a benefit hosted by Best Buddies International and Special Olympics.

HAVE YOU BOUGHT David’s new album yet?

JustJaredJr.

Former American Idol contestant, David Archuleta just released a new single all about the ‘ups and downs’ of love. That song is called “Elevator.” It is the second single from David’s second studio album (third including his holiday release, Christmas From The Heart) The Other Side Of Down which was released on October 5th. Like most of the songs on the album, this is one of the songs that David had a hand in co-writing. He did so by teaming up with Shelly Peiken, best known for her work on Christina Aguilera’s “What A Girl Wants” and “Come On Over” as well as “Turn The Page” by Aaliyah, and producer Mike Krompass.
