Last week, we reported that David Archuleta was dropped from Jive Records after the sales of his last album were less than stellar, to say the least.
At the time, we felt really bad for him, but considering he's so young, we also felt like that being set free from the label might also open him up to create new music without their involvement. Apparently, Archie agrees with us as he's posted a YouTube video, explaining his side of the story of what went down with Jive.
Take a listen to David talk about his "decision" and how its going to affect his career from now on. (above)
So grown up. He's really taking this massive change in stride. Good for him!
David Archuleta reportedly has been dropped from his record label, Jive Records. A rep for the label told sources Archie has been "released from our roster," but offered no reason why.
We can guess why, considering his album sales for The Other Side of Down, but it still sucks. He's got a lot of potential and maybe if they gave him enough attention, he'd find his way back on top.
Well, in the end he shouldn't be someplace he's not wanted anyway. Time to start anew, BB! The best revenge is living well, so buck up, write some killer stuff and come back even stronger than before.
Or maybe you could go to school? That could be worth giving a try too!
Yesterday, the lights at The Grove in West Hollywood were officially turned on, with many celebs in attendance and performing to celebrate the occasion.
Since David Archuleta's second album The Other Side of Down comes out today, the Idol alum dishes about what's next for him and how he's embracing his Latinoliciousness by possibly recording an album in Spanish.
He said:
That [recording a Spanish-language album] is something that I would love to do. I mentioned it to my label and they’re excited about it. Half of my family is Hispanic. I want to show them my gratitude. I don’t speak as much Spanish as I would like to. I still talk to my grandpa in Spanish. I want to immerse myself in that culture. One of the first songs I ever learned was a Selena song called “Como La Flor.” I grew up listening to and loving Selena's music. We always had her playing. My mom is a huge fan of Gloria Estefan. I love La India. There are also some songs I like from Christian Castro, Luis Miguel and Luis Fonsi.
Love it, bb. Ain't no shame in trying something new!
Check out (above) this HIGHlarious Q&A session with the 19 year old American Idol star in which he admits that he thinks holding hands is "gross" - despite having a track called My Hands!
Amanda Bynes had a run-in with the popo in NYC on Thursday night, which resulted in her arrest AND subsequent taking to a psychiatric hospital!
Police showed up at the former child star's midtown apartment after receiving reports of a disorderly person. And that's when shit got crazy!
When the NYPD arrived at Bynes' pad on West 47th Street, she threw a bong out the window, cuz it probably had crack "incense" in it, and she didn't want law enforcement to find it.
Twitter-loving Amanda was arrested on a charge of reckless endangerment.
After her arrest, Bynes was taken to Roosevelt Hospital to undergo a psychiatric evaluation, and then transferred to a Midtown police station to be processed.
Hopefully they send her BACK to the hospital and put her on a psychiatric hold!
