Musical influences

Archuleta's mother is from Honduras, and much of the music he listened to as a child was Latin-influenced including watching his mom sing at events with her sisters.[19][21] She also ""was big on dancing"" according to Archuleta, and would ""make"" him dance to traditional music with his older sister.[22] He also listened to jazz music, he said, from his father's collection as well as gospel, pop, rock and ""soulful music.""[17] In a later interview, he revealed that his father was a jazz musician. Archuleta also said he enjoys Broadway musicals.[23]

On his American Idol ""Fast Facts"" page, Archuleta cited his musical influences as Natalie Cole, Stevie Wonder, Kirk Franklin and Bryan Adams.[18] When he listed his top pop music artists, he cited Natasha Bedingfield, Natalie Cole, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Bryan Adams, Kirk Franklin, and Robbie Williams.[18] Like Elliott Yamin and another singer he admires, John Mayer, Archuleta tries to infuse his pop selections with a soulful vibe.[17] In a Seventeen interview he cites Sara Bareilles as a clever singer-songwriter he looks up to.[24]

^ Fair presentation

but the 3rd paragraph is a cheap shot to build up charice's image...

To Alexander.hugh.george, Yes, Archuleta is amazed with charice's voice (leave it at that and be thankful if ur a fan...) but to the point that SHE INFLUENCED his singing??? come on! I havent seen/heard any archuleta music that would prove it. ANd what? are you telling archuleta fans that HE HAS NO BALLS to just follow what others told him JUST TO PROMOTE HIS CONCERT and HIMSELF? And that DAVID, suddenly became a BIG LIAR when HE FACED an INDONESIAN MEdia last APril 2009?  

As for Regine, she never needed international exposure to be appreciated.  She had her chances but decided to just maintain a stable career in our country. Don't drag her name into this. She's a music icon in the Philippines...She already belongs in our HISTORY. SHe doesnt deserve any of these. And I dont believe that David Archuleta is so corrupt to be involved in such scheme. HE's to sweet and sincere to do that...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by  (talk • contribs)  

If there's this ""contractual publicity agreement"" between the parties you mentioned then why issue guidelines like this during the press conference of two davids????

MANILA, Philippines—Media people who attended the press conference of Idols David Cook and David Archuleta were given instructions not to ask three questions.

The off-limits topics included: (1) the recent death of Cook’s brother; (2) Archuleta’s fascination for local diva Regine Velasquez; and (3) rumors concerning Archuleta’s gender.

No one dared.
