That really is a great interview. I am glad that David realizes that fact. With his talent and his mind, he can really be a great great singer.

There's just something about this interview that makes me want to watch again & again. David is obviously more relaxed & comfortable than I've ever seen him & I think this is due to Katie's way of asking him just the right questions & allowing him to express himself without interruption. Great/informative interview!

[lesarchie]

It's great. Let me no more about him. Love him forever. The song's sad but love it .

Thx

[StarGazerGirl123]

thanks so much for a truly enlightening video! I finally know what's going on in David's mind! YAY!

[frejul10]

Great interview! David is so humbling. Just love this guy!!

[violetskyye]

Great interview, Katie and David! :)

[darchiefan]

I REALLY admire him wanting to lead his career....and not be led. His decisions "NOT" to go in a certain direction is just as admirable and telling about him as the direction he has chosen. Luv u David!

[archuletiac]

THANK YOU FOR THIS INTERVIEW. I so much appreciate you letting him talk and express what he's trying to say and asking relevant questions! It is great to hear him be able to articulate his thoughts so well - a sign of much experience with interviews in the past couple of years. David's genuine love of music and crazy vocal talent, coupled with who he is as a person, makes him a force to be reckoned with. He is such a positive influence and uses his music in that manner. Great to see him excel.

Interviewing is a skill and Katie Shorey has it. Very cool watching her facilitate verbal expression with a complex and thoughtful subject who is sometimes at a loss for words. Love David Archuleta's music and his dedication to genuine emotional meaning in what ever he sings. Loved this interview for showing just that..

[bjc143211]

"Breathtaking" YES that just about sums up David Archuleta!!!! Thank you for this interview!

QdimpleQ...David is perfect the way he is. We love his so called dorky side...He never pretends to be anything but himself. He has many sides to him. I personally love his "dorky side".

[QdimpleQ]

David knows the true meanings of music. Nice interview! David, next album could you please show more of your serious thoughts instead of the dorky side of your personality?

[Jonerzz]

I nominate Katie Shorey to do ALL future interviews with David! It was so nice see David being asked interesting and relevant questions about his music and hearing his insightful responses. Great interview!

[Zelinna12]

David talks with his hands like me haha

He is such a doll, best male voice in music today, I will continue to say it, no one has that golden magical tone to their voice like David has!

Also glad he is gone from Jive, they were not a good fit, David needs time to realize what is best for him!

[fan4idol]

What an awesome interview! Looking forward to all the great music David has to share with his fans in the future...and new TOUR!!

[mrayburn8743]

Great interview of a very wise and humble young man. Many an older person could learn a lot from this 20 year old.

[HPfanRinnie]

Great interview!! David is just so real and humble. I don't get how he can stay grounded through all this and yet he does!! What an amazing individual. Thank you for this awesome interview :)

[cassiemor1]

Best interview ever with David Archuleta! Thanks Katie Shorey!! "Falling" brought tears to my eyes, especially knowing it was about someone David knew who committed suicide. Wow!

[DavidArchuletasGal]

@cassiemor1 OH MY GOSH! are you serious thats what its about? Awww david <333

[skydancer1x]

thirteen minutes and fifty-six seconds of the best interview I have ever heard with David Archuleta.

[pastelpastelpastel]

I love this interview. Kudos to Katie Shorey for excellent questions and intuition. And thanks to David for his honesty and sage advice. Please invite David back...as his career grows, I'd like to hear his take on the industry in progressive years.

You saved the best for last Katie! Best interview of David I have seen. Thank you.

[marylee1950]

WOW-Katie said it best! I've seen thousands of interviews over the past 3 years but this one absolutely gives the most insight into David's thoughts & aspirations about his career & his life. I'm not sure why it made me cry listening to him share these thoughts with us~truly an emotional experience for me. All I can say right now ~ "Keep that fire, David"...You are loved more than you'll ever know. ♥

[pabuckie]

Thank you for a fantastic interview! Getting the chance to really listen to David speak about how he feels about music & writing is truly wonderful. Love him and admire him so much for always staying true to himself. His music touches so many lives because it comes from his heart & soul which is beautiful in itself and he conveys that emotion when he sings. Love him and great interview!

[halric]

Clearly David is a champion for good! Thank you SongwritersVantage.

[jeannedarc55]

This is truly a fantastic interview where David is allowed to really explain what he is thinking, about music, life in the biz, what he is doing now. He is an old soul (as Paula had said). He is still only 20 years old but he is wise beyond his years. I absolute love hearing him talk about what music is and can be. A true artist he is, indeed.

[CarriezzE]

Thank you for this fantastic interview.  It's a wonderful treat when the interviewer allows this young man the chance to answer. Great editing as well. I'm very proud to be one of David's fans. Thank you again.

[xjam13x]

I always love interviews where David's allowed to talk and the interviewer isn't trying to interrupt him, because fans can learn so many more new things about this exceptionally humble, selfless and talented boy. This is one of those rare interviews. Thank you so much for posting this.

[AFDFanScene]

Thanks you SongwritersVantage for one of the best David Archuleta interviews ever.

[cadthu]

David Archuleta is a beautiful person in every way possible. Thank you for posting this interview. It's nice to be a fan of someone who is so honest with his feelings and who hasn't "sold out" to the business. The amazing talent and voice is what gets you there, the personality and passion is what keeps you there. Love you David!

[believedj]

Thank you sooo much! David hasn't done any interviews since he's embarked on this new stage of writing and being on his own. Thanks so much for letting him talk and not asking inane questions. This is one of the best interviews to date. Congrats! This will become a fan favorite! It's def on the top of my list. Thanks, again!

[suttygal]

[apmvp05]

There is no artist more GENUINE than David Archuleta. There's a reason he said 'from the heart' so many times in this interview. Thanks so much for posting it. I'll be a fan of David for life....
