On this day back in 2008, David Archuleta performed for the first time on a tour. He sang in Glendale, Arizona at the jobing.com Arena for the opening of the season seven “American Idols LIVE!” Tour.

His four songs were “Angels,” “Apologize,” “Stand By Me,” and “When You Say You Love Me.” The tour ran through September 13.

Let’s take a look at a couple of his performances from that memorable night.

These videos show how much stronger David is vocally from two years ago. The version of “Angels” that made the debut album is better. His performance of “Apologize” improved too, and he now accompanies himself on the keyboard with that song.

All of this and more in only two years…

So I realized that most people who currently subscribe to me are from David Archuleta’s fan base, and that it’s not fair of me to not do more covers of his.
So here’s “Somebody Out There”, a classic of our times. Enjoy!

Thanks!

One thing that makes a “Chords of Strength” book signing by David Archuleta even better is when he sings! Here he is this afternoon singing “I’ll Be.” Be forewarned that you should not turn up the volume too loud because there is a lot of high-pitched screaming from the crowd!
