What Will Come of David Archuleta After American Idol?
by Amy CoxMay 2nd, 2008 @ 06:33 AM
In a world where superstar status can be achieved and lost
in a mere television season, it should come as no surprise
that American Idol fans cannot get enough of David Archuleta.
He has what it takes for “it” guy of the moment.
He’s cute, he’s sweet, and he does have a nice
voice. However, does David Archuleta have the staying power
needed to be a star past the time of American Idol?
Two seasons ago, Taylor Hicks vanished into obscurity after
his Do I Make You Proud moment. As the confetti was being
swept off of the American Idol stage, so was the career of
Taylor Hicks. It turned out that he did not carry over his
fan base from American Idol into the real world. Taylor Hicks
is not the only former Idol that found the world of recording
to be much harsher than the judges of American Idol. Katherine
McPhee lost her recording contract rather abruptly. Fantasia
had to make a name for herself in Lifetime movies and on
Broadway. Life after American Idol has not been easy for
many contestants. Sadly, the same can probably be true for
David Archuleta.
David Archuleta has a lot of appeal on American Idol for
several reasons. For one, Archuleta appeals to young girls
and their mothers. That is a very powerful fan base on American
Idol. Those are the groups that are picking up the phones
and dialing in. Girls and moms love the sheepish grin he
gives before and after a performance. They love the runs
he puts into songs they already know. They love the emotional
songs that he chooses. Those are all things that work on
American Idol.
When American Idol is over, though, that fan base will quickly
pick up on the next hot thing. David Archuleta will find
himself cast into the pool of former American Idol has-beens.
Young girls and their moms are fickle when it comes to the
superstar of the moment. They want someone who is accessible.
For instance, right now Archuleta is on the television two
nights a week on American Idol. That is what is giving him
current fame. Take American Idol out of the equation, and
there goes the fame.
David Archuleta is a trend right now. He is the New Kids
of the Block of 2008. Where are those guys now? Where did
their fans go? The fans grew up and moved onto a more mature
style of music. The same will go for the fans of David Archuleta.
David Archuleta has a good television presence, but he will
not be able to sell records or sell out concerts. He has
proven that his taste in music does not have a broad appeal.
When he has to actually perform his own music, he is going
to be in trouble.
Even though he has a lot of talent, David Archuleta is deemed
to fade into the oblivion of contestants past. He is a singer,
but not exactly a musician. Maybe after he matures he will
have a better understanding of what it takes to have staying
power in the business.
