David Archuleta & Brad Paisley perform at Stadium of Fire

Performing yesterday for a crowd of about 50,000 at America’s Freedom Festival in Provo, Utah, David Archuleta almost out-sang himself on “The Star Spangled Banner”. The song started on the big video screen showing a 2003 performance of the 12-year-old David, with the 20-year-old David picking it up at “What so proudly we hailed….” What an excellent way to start the National Anthem, especially for David’s home state crowd, many of whom have followed his career since his childhood.

Later David sang a beautiful medley of two favorite patriotic songs: “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee” and “America the Beautiful”. The minor keynotes and creative phrasing are simply gorgeous. David’s voice is amazing and he was in the best form yesterday. I am kinda envious of all the Asian fans who will soon get to see and hear David in person!

“My Country, ‘Tis of Thee” / “America the Beautiful”

Then David launched into a performance of his own songs before introducing Brad Paisley.

“The Other Side of Down”

“Stompin’ the Roses”

“Crush”

“A Little Too Not Over You”

Last night David Archuleta took the stage at the annual MayFest in South Carolina. What an exciting evening filled with many DA songs we all know and love. In addition, David put his own soulful spin on “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” by Tears for Fears, “Blackbird” by Paul McCartney, and “A Thousand Miles” by Vanessa Carlton.

Here’s an all-time favorite of mine, “My Hands,” from David’s debut album. If you don’t own this album yet, you must buy it now!

You can watch the full set at Archuleta FanScene.

We here at DA Buzzing wish all mothers and grandmothers a very happy Mother’s Day. To celebrate in David Archuleta fashion, let’s have a look at his beautiful mother, Lupe. These days Lupe Archuleta is a mamacita singing sensation. David tweeted that he flew back home to watch his mother’s performance Friday night at Klub Karamba, the place for Latin and hip-hop music in Salt Lake City. Perhaps the Mayorga sisters will take the stage again soon.

See more photos.
