Archuleta's logorrhea
Utah's favorite small-enough-to-fit-in-an-overhead-compartment pop singer, David Archuleta, releases his first album on Nov. 11 - but that didn't stop Entertainment Weekly's Shirley Halperin to give an advance review of the CD's liner notes.The surprise is that while Archuleta's responses to questions - whether from Ryan Seacrest on the "American Idol" stage or over the phone with the Tribune's David Burger - are brief and opaque, the liner notes go on and on. To the tune of 3,500 words, of which 2,000 are thank yous.
Archuleta gives thanks to his parents, his friends, his musical influences (including Kelly Clarkson, Jason Mraz, Stevie Wonder, Natasha Bedingfield, John Mayer and Sara Bareilles), his vocal coach Dean Kaelin, everyone at Fox and his fellow "American Idol" contestants. And he gives a special shout-out to the folks at home:
Thank you to all of my neighbors and members from church who have shown their love and support every step of the way... It has meant the world to me to see the support from Utah, and I hope I make everyone there proud :) Go Murray, Utah!
"My problem is, it's either one line or, like, 300 pages," Archuleta told Halperin in a brief interview Saturday (at an after-party for Jason Mraz' L.A. concert). "I completely ramble, even in my interviews or just explaining things. And I didn't want to forget anyone! Gives you something to talk about, I guess."

I think David is somehow like my friend. He doesn't talk much but he rambles a LOT and when he sings, he has the power. When he's not much of a talker, he can come up with a LOT of words when he expressed himself through writing. Sometimes people are just comfortable writing than talking. The song he sang came from writing, so he doesn't have any problem with it.
