‘American Idol’ notes: David Archuleta, Crystal Bowersox, Keith Urban
Ready for some music? We’re going to be starting off this new edition of “American Idol” notes by focusing on this first and foremost, especially the latest music video from season 7 star David Archuleta.
First of all, can we give a massive round of applause to David’s team for this “Don’t Run Away” video? Even with the singer gone on a Mormon missing for the next year or so, they still found a way to craft a memorable video that felt artistic and true to who he is as an artist. David’s new album “No Matter How Far” has not been particularly easy for him to promote with him being gone for such a long span of time, but you can pick up a copy of it just by heading over to the link here. It’s a touching song, and it fits well on an album full of tracks that American audiences have unfortunately missed out on for the past couple of years.
Crystal performs on “Leno” – Finally, some news from “The Tonight Show” that does not involve whether or not Jay Leno is staying on the show. Instead, we have a new performance from Crystal Bowersox in promotion of her new album “All That For This” in stores today. This song is called “Movin’ On” if you haven’t heard it already, and it’s more evidence of the sort of talent that makes her probably the most underrated former contestant out there. Now, we just have to start begging Nigel Lythgoe and company to actually put her on a results show in the coming weeks.
Is Keith Urban staying? – The country star recently announced a rather extensive tour for this fall, but what is rather interesting about it is that there are some key chunks of dates left out during some of the months that “American Idol” is shooting. Does this mean that Keith is going to return as a judge for another season? Not necessarily, but he tells USA Today in a new interview that this is definitely something that he wants to have as an option in the weeks and months ahead:
“We haven’t confirmed anything, but we needed to leave some holes there, in case another season happens. If we do another season, those would be where the audition cities would go. But nothing’s confirmed at all.”

Thank you for the article about David’s new CD. It is just wonderful that there is still so much interest in this very talented artist. It is not surprising when you read the liner notes on this CD. A message from David….”that No Matter How Far , what was in the heart before, is still here, and will be here when I return”. I so look forward to his return, 2 years older, and ready to be welcomed back by his ever so loyal fans everywhere in the world.

David Archuleta’s new cd, No Matter How Far, is wonderful. The video for the track Don’t Run Away is so cool and the artist who created it is very talented. Even though David is gone for 2 years he continues to give us surprises. Love it!

I love the video and am impressed by all the work that went into it! Great idea for David and team to find this way to release a video (and a creative & good one!) while he is away on his mission. The video really captured the feel of the song and David.

Though there hasn’t been a season of American Idol that can hold a candle to Season 7 (David’s season) I must say that Keith Urban is the best new judge on the show. He helps to keep me tuned in. Be sure to buy David’s new CD and tell all your friends that he shall return, BIG TIME ! ! !

Love this video which was made by one of David’s fans. All the songs on “No Matter How Far” are fantastic especially Don’t Run Away, Heart Falls Out and Tell Me (heartbreakingly beautiful)!

I love the video for Don’t Run Away! The artist captured David so well – not jsut his face but his hand, his running and even his sneaks. The album is out today “No Matter How Far”
