All the buzz!

From IdolChatter:

David Archuleta will appear at Invisible Children's Break the Silence event at Nashville's David Lipscomb University tonight. The Break the Silence events, which will take place in 18 cities around the country, are intended to raise awareness about conflict in Northern Uganda.

From popdust.com:

It’s been just three years since David Archuleta finished as the runner-up to David Cook on American Idol and reached #2 on the charts with his irresistible pop single “Crush,” but that might as well have been a whole decade ago for how he’s faded from the public memory since then. Archuleta’s second album of original material, The Other Side of Down, sold just 63,000 copies (after his self-titled debut went gold) and its lead single, “Something ‘Bout Love,” failed to even scrape the Hot 100. Like Kris Allen, Archuleta needs something new to prove that he has a future in pop as Idol gets further and further in the rearview.

So David’s gone DIY with it. He started a video blog a while back, mostly featuring him talking about inane topics like snow and the importance of family, but his most recent entry shows him doing what he does best, as he belts out an a capella rendition of Stevie Wonder’s classic 1982 ballad “Ribbon in the Sky.” The heartfelt cover (though Archuleta claims only mild familiarity with the original) shows that all career trappings aside, the dude can certainly still sing, and that if he was to ever to find his voice creatively, there’s no reason why the 20-year-old couldn’t still have a long and fruitful career in the biz. (Big if, though, obviously.)

Check it out, and tell us if you think there’s still something there—if you can forgive that bum note at the end, anyway.
