Aww, Archie. Not a fan of the musical style, but he makes me grin every time.
What mutant elder teenagers did they find to staff this video with, though? Watching him with those other boys, I felt a low-grade terror that they were about to pants him and stuff him in a locker.
Then I realized that I was subconsciously waiting for Cook to show up and protect him, and I realized I might have mental problems.
Even better: Amanda. She’d rack those shirtless boys hitting on his woman, drag the Kady-Malloy-clone-crush up by her extensions and full-body fling her at him.
I am enjoying this new video in my head much better. Also, Chikezie plays the harmonica.
oh my word….that is hilarious! what a mental image! lol
I love this video because it is so perfectly David. And the song is about a teenage crush–it’s supposed to be sweet and innocent–you just have to listen to the lyrics to know that he’s not going the way of Jesse McCartney’s “Leavin’” video (yikes). With a debut artist’s budget and a day to shoot, I think this is one of the better first videos I’ve ever seen, and certainly one of the best Idol first videos. Love that they have him playing the piano (great shot in the beginning… actually that whole end of the pier thing is great) and the guitar (please, David, play that sometime live because we know you can).
The teens will swoon and most everybody else won’t help but smiling when they watch. I actually think it will gain him some new fans–he’s freakin’ adorable in the video.
BTW, most of the “kids” in the video were over 18, save two of the girls–one being 16 and the “crush” being 15. The rest were age 18-21 I believe. And yeah, a couple of the guys looked a little too old to be 17, but I don’t think it really makes too much of a difference in the video. Apparently, David serenaded the cast (w/guitar in hand) the whole day (both during the shoot when he had to sing “Crush” over the track, and in between takes). Can’t wait to hear David sing “Crush” live… and acoustically.
Aww. It’s corny but not half as cheesy as I expected. Loved the opening piano scene, not so keen on the closeups. Not so keen on the short, pointy hair either. He’s actually a decent actor and no doubt totally adorable. You really don’t see 17 year olds with Archie’s innocence & I think that’s a huge part of his appeal. He will mature – musically and as a person in due time. It should be a natural progression.
I thought the video was just perfect for the song! It’s something I wouldn’t mind watching over and over again. Oh, to be young again . . . I could actually feel butterflies in my tummy when they were giving each other those glances. Haha!!! I was smiling the entire time. : )
I wish they’d let Archie’s hair grow out a little. Otherwise, a very cute video!
I love the video! It is perfect for the song…so much fun to finally be able to see him sing it!
the very end…the smile…classic Archie…how he finished almost every song on AI…kudos to the director
I really love the video. It is so obvious that JIVE gets David. The beginning and ending are the best.
oohchile . . .lol!
Perfect, imo, both for the song and the singer. It leaves me thnking that Jive respects him.
I was listening to last night’s cellcast of the concert as always and Rickey had the vid up on the screen but had it muted because of the show. I liked what I saw even though I couldn’t hear it. Once intermission started, I got a chance to watch the video with the sound and I still liked it. Yes, it may seem a little cheesy to some, but I like what Jive did with Archie’s video. The storyline actually made sense with what the song was about and like some, I’m glad Archie was not portrayed as a sex symbol but as a normal teenager with a crush.
WTG Archie!
Not a fan of Archie during Idol, but have been one since – I really like this video and especially the piano at the beginning and his cute smile! He is really an adorable kid and this video shows that. Agree he should lose the sweater.
I love this video! He is so cute and acts like real.
Especially his smile is so great!
He did a great job!
so that was quick…it was pulled.. :thumbdown_tb:
No, no, no! I didn’t get to see it before it got pulled! :furious_tb:

This is the HQ version of Crush. It is VERY clear!
Absolutely perfect video for this song. Jive got it right on the money! Totally exceeded my expectations! Sweet, innocent, lovable, cute as Archie is! The piano by the waterà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ the soft lightà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ and the smile at the end is way better than a kissing scene! They managed to show so many sides of him. I love his expressions and the feeling he puts into the songà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ He plays the piano, the guitar, he can actually actà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ or just stay there just being archadorableà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ andà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ oh, the vocals that melt anyone ´s heart!
This video complements the song perfectly. It will have appeal to Davidà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s fans in the tween/teen set, as well as the older fans. Jive has shown respect for the person and the artist that David is – they havenà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t tried to shoehorn him into an image that runs counter to who he isà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s part of his appeal – à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ the shy, humble, sometimes awkard but extraordinarily talented teenager on the cusp of manhoodà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦. for that I am grateful. Kudos David – WELL DONE ON YOUR FIRST VIDEO. Your foot is in the door now, and this video will open it to a much wider audience than you could ever have IMAGINED…. Your fans are proud of all you’ve accomplished in this past year, and are behind you all the way.
Thanks for that link, IGC. You weren’t kidding – VERY clear!
Perfect first video for David, and so much fun to watch him blossom. They played the “crush” perfectly – I felt 17 all over again. Just adorable. Props to the director – he/she nailed this one – so happy for David. :thumbup_tb:
Awwwwwww, that was cute. Archie’s so squishadorable. I do feel 17 again listening to Crush. Similar to listening to Jordin’s music. Crush is less sugary than Tattoo imo. And I like how they put him w/the piano and guitar.
(LOL, so that’s what it looks like when they put some effort into a runner up’s video…lighting, scenery, attractive extras, hmm)
Nice work all around by Jive in launching Archie and his debut single. Ball’s in your court now, RCA!
Pure treacle, perhaps even more saccharine than the song itself. I’m not even thinking the TRL Arch Angels are going to want to watch that more than five times…unless they have a crush on the blond too.
I dont know what this says about me but he got a new fan with this song and video. I was a Castro/Cook ftw but I thought this was just perfect for him to get past the older ballads he seemed to love to sing over and over. It is young and fresh and sweet. Catchy tune that I bet will make it to #1. I too was wondering if he could pull off the acting but he worked it, shy, kinda bashful, it was effortless and you didnt see him “acting” just being himself it seemed.
*shrug* I think the exact opposite of you.
Same here….I think I already have watched it more than 5 times, LOL
