David Archuleta\u2019s voice echoed as he belted out ballads.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
If you grew up watching “American Idol,” then you most likely know of runner-up David Archuleta from season 7. He was the teen heartthrob of the season known for his charismatic smile. Now, he is finding his passion in music once again with his latest album \u201cPostcards in The Sky.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On April 4, Archuleta visited North Dakota for the first time as part of his 2019 North American Tour at the Sanctuary Events Center in downtown Fargo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every North Dakotan in attendance laughed as Archuleta did not understand what a bison was and kept trying to understand how to say it correctly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was one of the more adorable concerts I\u2019ve ever been to. Between his smile, dancing and the swinging of his feet when he sat on the wooden stool, there was a sweetness to his performances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because many people in the crowd knew him from his start on \u201cAmerican Idol,\u201d he explained how crazy it was to go from the show to releasing music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After placing second in America’s singing competition, he took a couple years off to become a missionary. Many screamed in praise for his mission completion, and later the crowd would bow their heads as he sang \u201cYou Say\u201d by Lauren Daigle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For years people were wondering where he went in the music industry,\nand when he came back after his mission he thought about quitting music because\nof how intense and controlling it felt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He used to be shy and barely spoke, but now he found \u201chow powerful it can be \u2014 to speak,\u201d Archuleta said. The song that inspired the album, \u201cPostcards in The Sky\u201d speaks out to those who feel that their words don\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best part of the show was hearing the gasps among the crowd as Archuleta ended the show without singing his most well-known and hit song from his first album, \u201cCrush.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After singing a mash-up of his song \u201cSeasons\u201d and the song \u201cHappier\u201d by Marshmello featuring Bastille, he thanked the crowd and skipped off stage. Every person in the audience became mad and chanted \u201cCrush\u201d until he ran back on stage to fulfill the fans’ request. The bass thumped as he danced back and forth, touching each fan’s hand and singing along with the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once Archuleta opened the stage with his song \u201cFalling Stars,\u201d there were passionate screams from the fangirls in the crowd. He then transitioned into his older album with \u201cA Little Too Not Over You.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The whole night was Archuleta introducing his new singles and albums while also including his roots to not disappoint his long-time fans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Archuleta sang ballads, he showed off the pureness of his voice that he has always been known for. It was so pure that it seemed as though he was lip-syncing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When he broke out the stool to sit down and slow the music, everyone became excited to feel the goosebumps spread as he sang, filling the crowd with smiles. Once he started singing \u201cShallow\u201d from the movie \u201cA Star Is Born,\u201d every person in the crowd started singing along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m ready, I\u2019m ready for a change. I\u2019m not afraid to lose and leave it all behind,\u201d Archuleta sang. His lyrics for \u201cI\u2019m ready\u201d relate to any person dealing with a change, especially for those in college with the many changes, so his voice spoke to those in the audience. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
