David Archuleta Has Never Had a Girlfriend

In a new interview, David Archuleta opens up on a number of topics. Among them:

  • He has "never been in a relationship."
  • He'd consider an appearance on Glee.
  • He's excited to turn 20.

Below, we've excerpted a number of quotes from this adorable singer and hisconversation with Pop Eater:

Christmas from the Heart

On what he wants for Christmas: To be able to give back, that's where the most, the greatest, the best feelings are, even if it's just a visit to show you care about people. That's what the Christmas spirit is about: caring about other people.

On what he looks for in a mate: Someone who cares about other people, who has good values and has respect for themselves [is what matters]. It's so important for girls to respect themselves and not put themselves down and say, "Oh, my life is horrible," and "I'm not pretty enough." How do you know? There's this energy people give off that people can be drawn to.

I don't think people ever really know what they're "looking for." Love is something that just surprises people. It catches you off guard. It's never really what you're expecting.

On turning 20: I'm excited because now you feel like you hold new responsibilities. You're a step away from being a kid and being viewed as a kid. Usually, people have certain perceptions of teenagers... Now, leaving that phase and focusing on being an adult is exciting. I mean, 20 is not 21 yet, so I still feel like I'm kind of a kid, but I look forward to maturing and the new experiences that await next year.

Would he guest star on Glee? It would be cool to make an appearance on it because it's a fun show. It gets all these geeks who love music. I think that's great. That's the category I was in. I wasn't the most athletic person. I didn't really fit in anywhere. Even the people who were in music, they were very good [and] technically musical, so I didn't feel like I'd fit in with them. I just loved music and how it made me feel.

David Archuleta on Possible Spanish Album, Lack of Love Life and More!

David Archuleta fans should not even be reading this right now. They should have their eyes closed, taking in the songs on the singer's just-released album.

But you're forgiven if you've taken a break, especially if you're using it to read more about this young, adorable singer. He spoke to The Los Angeles Times this week on a number of topics and we've posted excerpts below...

Archie Signature

On the inspiration behind the CD: I wanted people to get my perspective of this stage of my life. It’s about moving forward and keeping a positive attitude. I’ve gotten a lot better at expressing myself. Before if people asked me questions, I’d say, “um, I don’t know.” I didn’t know what to say. Music is an escape route for me that allowed me to say how I felt.

Will he ever released a Spanish-lanugage album? That is something that I would love to do. I mentioned it to my label and they’re excited about it. Half of my family is Hispanic. I want to show them my gratitude. I don’t speak as much Spanish as I would like to. I still talk to my grandpa in Spanish. I want to immerse myself in that culture. One of the first songs I ever learned was a Selena song called “Como La Flor.”

Is he dating anyone? Not right now. It's funny because I tried to stay away from romantic relationship songs because I’m not in a relationship. I wanted to have the perspective of someone that is single. One of the songs is about wondering who that special person is. It’s called “My Kind of Perfect.”

Her that, gals? Archie is available!

Cuties in Concert: Justin Bieber and David Archueta Celebrate Fourth of July

Forget fireworks, beach visits and barbecues.

There's only one real way to celebrate the Fourth of July: by sitting back and listening to the melodic sounds of the two most adorable singers alive today.

That's what lucky concert attendees in New York City and Washington D.C. enjoyed on Sunday, as Justin Bieber performed for the former and David Archuleta for the latter.

Fortunately, THG is your hook-up for footage from these events, as you can watch Bieber belt out a version of "Somebody to Love" below and Archuleta follow it up with a rendition of "Stand By Me." Happy birthday, America, thanks for giving us these talented young stud muffins...

David Archuleta Memoir Planned, Single Leaked

Some time during season nine, Adam Lambert will perform on American Idol.

It's safe to assume David Archuleta will, as well.

We can make this assumption because the former runner-up is releasing a memoir on May 4. It's titled "Chords of Strength" and here are a few snippets about it, courtesy of Amazon.com:

David Archuleta was named one of the "breakout stars of 2008" by Forbes magazine and landed the number two spot on the Billboard charts.

In Chords of Strength, David shares his unexpected and inspiring journey, including how he overcame vocal cord paralysis to achieve his dream of being a singer. He reveals insecurities he felt about his voice-before he realized that he loved the way singing made him feel more than he disliked the way he sounded.

In this personal memoir, David opens up about the strength he draws from his unshakable faith and unyielding family. He pays tribute to those who continue to inspire him and through their example help him believe in himself, his talent, and his abilities.

Meanwhile, a single off Archuleta's upcoming album has also leaked online.

David Archuleta and Jordin Sparks: No Air, Lots of Talent

Not so fast, Aaron Kelly!

While American Idol viewers are already comparing the aforementioned season nine contestant with David Archuleta, the former runner-up proved this week that he won't be replaced without a fight.

The talented young singer took to the stage with Jordin Sparks at the 2010 Jordin Sparks Experience, a pre-Super Bowl event held at Miami Beach on Wednesday night. Don't they look adorable together?

The former American Idol alumni performed a duet to “No Air," the single Sparks originally made famous with Chris Brown.

Could she have replaced Brown with anyone more opposite from him? We doubt it. This, of course, is a big compliment to David. The day he beats his girlfriend is the day Jon Gosselin starts caring about his kids.

Watch the pair entertain the crowd below.
