David Archuleta Signs Record Deal

American Idol sensation David Archuleta has signed to 19 Recordings/Jive Records and is expected to release his debut album later this year.

“Signing a record contract with 19 Recordings/Jive Records is truly a dream come true,” states Archuleta. “Being a fan of American Idol since season one and admiring the alumni, I am honored and humbled to be a part of that group. I’m really excited to start working on everything.”

Simon Fuller, creator of the popular TV series and chief executive and founder of 19 Entertainment Label Group, adds, “It was fascinating to watch David’s journey through Idol. He is a genuine pop star, and is a gifted singer who instantly won over a huge audience when he first appeared on the show. Since then, he has dealt with the pressure and the high level of expectation with real fortitude; he’s given us some of the best performances of the season. Without question David Archuleta has a great future ahead of him”.

Tom Carrabba, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Jive/Zomba Label Group comments, “David Archuleta has already shown the world that he is a star. He’s a young, talented singer with wide appeal and we’re thrilled to have him join our roster.”

Archuleta, 17, was the runner-up on the current season of Idol and is currently gearing up for the upcoming Idol tour, which kicks off on July 1st in Glendale, AZ.

GO GO GO ARCHIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i hate how cook has the biggest ego of all the winners of AI . I hope that cook’s career will be like taylor and rueben . archie needs to be given a chance . cook already had his chance to shine . david c sucks !!! this is for all you egotistical word nerds out there . don ‘t forget that cook didn’t even want to audition for the show . archuleta wanted to win and cook won because people didn’t want simon to be right about who would win american idol . david c won for all the wrong reasons. he should have been eliminated in the top 24 . fans of david cook watch his career go down the tubes like all the other male idol winners .

Love u David Archuleta!!!! Can’t wait to buy your cd, I’ll be the first one online at BestBuy to buy your Cd!!!

I love David Archuleta he ahs all of the requirements to be a HUGE MEGA star and he will

Love David Archuleta..

I wish he will succeed in his dreams!! I will definitely buy his CD.. I’ve downloaded every single song he had in American Idol and he sounded great!

A little polishing as a performer and he’ll do great! He is just 17 years old!

How sad that a few who sent in their comments here cannot be happy for this 17 year old who is talented, nice and well-brought up too! Both Davids are good friends so let us be kind and support them in their respective careers. People, DA is a teenager! Do we ever recall what we did when we were 17?
From far-away Philippines, I am DA’s fan - more power to you!

Archie is gonna sell mega albums!! I hear Ryan Tedder from One Republicis already writing as one song for him as well as other song writers.. So shut up to everyone who thinks he won’t sell!! All of you who bashed him are just threatened by him cos he is signed with the same record company who handles Jordin Sparks, Chris Brown, Usher, RKelly to name a few. Archie’s voice is distinctive. Trust me, this kid will be BIG!!
