At just 17-years-old, David Archuleta, of Murray, rose to the final night of the competition on the hit reality show, American Idol. Bob Evans sat down to ask Archuleta three questions.
Most of the comments are supporting and encouraging. This young man is human (like you and me). His talent places him in the spotlight, but he is still entitled to privacy and respect (like you and me). Posts like...”top or bottom” and some of the others I read are really not cool and they are unnecessary . We should strive to be better people and not rip each other down. Love not hate. David, I got your back! ❤️
📌📌 As of June 12, 2021 David Archuleta publicly announced that he is a member of the LGBT+ community. Congrats to you, Mormon families! - Now, LET HIM publicly speak about that in your church TOO! ;) & not to only sing for your pleasure ! 👏👏👏👏 .
@@soberanisfam1323 - I do so hope you are correct. Historically, David would be kicked out, excommunicated. That he hasn’t yet… might signal a change. Let’s just see if he sings with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir this Christmas or ever again.
The day you were born was a God's gift to this planet. It's like you are not human, but an angel. Your pure soul expeessed with your smile (the best smile I have ever seen). You remind me of my brother.
David, I am a life long fan . Love your music ,and yes, it does make me emotional when I listen to you. I feel like you touch me deep in my heart. You have always reminded me of an angel. God bless and may He protect and guide you. From A loving fan forever.
I have never listened to a version of imagine better than David’s. Also this man has more potential to hit the top charts than many who are already there. I think he has one of the best masculine voices in the USA right now. I hope he gets busy singing acoustic songs and forgets about so much background music. Just one instrument and his amazing voice will do.
@@john_m_weaver It's ok if he is gay. People just can see he probably is but he is not ready to admit it. It's probably because of his religion and he doesn't want to dissapoint his family or church or his God. But it's sad to see him not be able to be himself because he has that internal conflict. My comment was a joke. No need to be so uptight over comedy.
Thank you David for sharing your life and your love for other people and showing everyone how special Jesus is and how he love's all of us and wants us to live our lives and learn from him how to be more like God! I think you live your life very much as much as you can like God would want you to live and I have learned a lot from your songs and you. Just wanted to say thank you cause yes we are all human and we all get depressed and only God is the one who can really help us with depression and over come feelings we are having and to grow into the person he wants us to be! God bless you and your future wife and family!
Jesus isn't real. His story is a composite of many earlier mythical Roman, Greek, and Sumarian gods. There's no historical records of him ever existing that were written during his so called life. And this is true for the rest of Christianity. Noah's Ark was plagerized nearly word for word from the epic of Gilgamesh.
Maria Sofia Redd Awww, wouldn’t that be nice. Unfortunately Christianity has been forcing itself onto non-believers for the last 2000 years or so - with those that haven’t complied getting tortured or murdered. So no lady, you don’t get to go around like this is some great organization that’s based in facts and reality. It’s a cult based upon early Roman and Sumarian mythology - your wish to believe in it makes little difference to these facts.
Happiness comes from looking outward, thinking about others, doing for others, not from looking inward and overthinking about me. David's concert tonite in Manhattan was wonderful. :) He and Cartie Underwood are my facorite American idols.
David is being blessed! Keep on singing for us David! God loves you and we are here for you. Ignore those evil people they are so darn jealous of you. Keep on what your doing and keep that morals you’ve got. ❤️❤️❤️
Great interview. If you listen very carefully with an open heart towards Heaven you'll discover golden moments of wisdom through David that are well beyond his years. Well done, young Sir. Stay healthy, be of good courage, and God bless you. (Smile)
Awesome interview. Questions were great and responses are genuine. Thanks David, you have help people undergoes the same feeling and experiences (socially) GOD bless you
I just admire you sooo very much... I wish I could meet you in person😍... But I know it's impossible😥... Anyway God bless you... Love from your humble fan😊
Hello David always happy to see you giving interviews. With out a question your were the winner of the 2008 American Idol. It's very nice of you to accept that David Cook was the winner of that competition. I see you more relaxed more confident and what I like about you is that you are a very honest, humble respectful and wiser beyond your age. I wish you the best in your career because you deserve to be in the Top. God bless you and guide you in your life as well as in your career. Question you always talk about your father how demanding he was with you and your career, so where was your mom in all this moments of your life? I don't mean to be nosy but I was just wondering. God bless you body. God has a special plan for you
I become his fan since Crush. Beside i love his songs, im so touched with his values of life. He is so different with other hollywood artist. He is the only one artist who i still follow until now.
David Archuleta has been in the entertainment industry for more than 10 years. His faith in Jesus Christ, and staying grounded and focused on the LDS church has helped mold him into the fine humble young man he is today. Now compare David Archuleta with Justin Bieber. Which one of the 2 entertainers would you trust your daughter with?
@Rex Albright lol who cares if he is straight bi tri white black argh.... Think about this, "Gaydar" has one flaw and that is Mormon men.... Looking at man, "Gaydar" would ask David "Are you gay or Mormon? I cant tell" As for Gay Mormons, check out the movie "Latter Days" (2003) you will see why the two are so similar
June 12, 2021, a memorable day in the Philippines, our INDEPENDENCE DAY! THE DAY DAVID ANNOUNCED HIS SEXUALITY. WE WERE STUNNED. I FELT SAD BUT WHAT CAN WE DO. ACCEPT IT, I STILL RESPECT HIM, HE HAD SUFFERED MUCH, TIME FOR HIM TO BE FREE BUT HOW CAN HE RECONCILE HIS RELIGIOUS BELIEFS TO HIS PERSONAL CHOICE? ANYWAY, GOD IS ALWAYS FORGIVING
@@rocketlikearadredhead9274 He says he's bisexual now, which could be true. But many times it's a, "I'm going to keep one foot in heteroville, until I feel more comfortable in homo heights." situation.
I think he's secretly gay, which is totally cool, but i think his pain is that his religion may not accept him if he came out and that's his fear. Come out David and free yourself, you'll never regret doing so, it's your life, be you, be free.
Not yet. He talked about that at the end of the interview. He said that marriage is a bigger priority to him than music and that he is looking forward to being a dad and a husband.
He has the most beautiful smile. Such a sweet guy.
This was 2018. He finally came out in 2021. I called it. I win.
The humbleness is refreshing.

David is such a down-to-earth great guy with an amazing personality. He's just as likable now if not more than he was 10 years ago.

One of the realest conversations that he had been through in TV shows
This was a great interview! The host was thorough, and beyond respectful ..allowing the interviewee to speak, and create full thoughts! 👏🏾💙 Bravo!!
I just want to say thank you for sharing your life with all of us. That's not easy.

So underrated artist.
I love how the light of Christ radiates through his eyes and smile, you have brought happiness and comfort to many with your example and music
@@ginaplympton7889 do you think he's a top or a bottom? i bet a total power bottom, look at him

great interview - he's filled with wisdom.

I love how Bob Evans brings positive yet funny interview situation 😉
After his missionary days he was cute who eventually became manly/handsome😍😍
manly? LOL
dragonboy718 - He is a young man.
I’m sure he’s more attracted to me than to you because he’s really gay. But who cares? He’s also a real sweet and thoughtful person.
Yes, he's loved here in the Philippines and he still is..
Great interview. If you listen very carefully with an open heart towards Heaven you'll discover golden moments of wisdom through David that are well beyond his years. Well done, young Sir. Stay healthy, be of good courage, and God bless you. (Smile)
You look more handsome, amazing experience what's future ahead , you can do it ! We believe in you !!!

Why sad? We should rejoice that he is being true to himself
muy bien David
😍😍♥️♥️😘😘
Who else thinks he looks like Shane Filan from Westlife? Shane was my 1st crush when I was little. David is also my crush. (:
❤️🇵🇭
Ufffff Está Bien
Handsome lad and soft
Archie is really humble
Yeah... as a gay person. I just can't help but see a lot of pain through the smile. Bless him, I hope he can find an easier path.
Giving into his bisexuality temptationsisnt going to bring him relief only more pain and torment !
@@rocketlikearadredhead9274 he gets to be who he naturally has always been but denied himself. Self acceptance is vital
Filipinos love you David.
What's the difference between being full of myself and being too myself. Like an introvert?
David and I would make a great couple
Who is a David cook?
Imagine someone like this as the American President someday!
7:05 .. I can look at you forever😍😍😍
He hates pussy. Sorry u ain't getting him
@14:11 were he pretty much talks about women.
His heart is on his sleeve . Please leave Religion private
What you means?
He came out 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️
the guy sounded so different than he was in 2008 lol
Absolutely David won American Idol... David Cooke... who?
Teach music with an honorary doctorate
He's going to make some man a very happy husband one day.
Love is Love🏳️🌈
He's come out as bisexuality and not sure if he'll marry a man or a woman! He needs to know that God can deliver him from these ungodly temptations!
@@rocketlikearadredhead9274 He says he's bisexual now, which could be true. But many times it's a, "I'm going to keep one foot in heteroville, until I feel more comfortable in homo heights." situation.
@@rocketlikearadredhead9274 he said god told him to stop asking to change his sexual orientation. He made him that way.
I truly believe he was happier then. Now he seems to be less sure of his beliefs and his spiritual goals.
I pray that he someday finds the right young man.
