MANILA, Philippines – Even American Idol Season 7 runner-up David Archuleta had his own share of name-calling in high school. “When I was in school, people used to call me smiley boy,” Archuleta said Friday during Magic 89.9’s radio show.

The 18-year-old singer-songwriter said his classmates thought it was too weird how he could always smile. “They’re like, it’s so creepy you smile so much,” he said. His smile, however, earned him a 2008 Teen Choice Award for Best Smile and the adoration of legions of fans…When he was asked what makes him smile, the American crooner just answered “I dunno. I don’t know, there’s just a lot to be happy about I guess,” he said.

And he definitely has a lot to be happy about – an international career, a great following, and a chart-topping self-titled debut album.

Archuleta added that he’s probably just a positive person. “I’m just trying to look at the brighter side of things, just trying to see the positive things in life,” he said.
