David Archuleta – World Premiere – Crush – Z100

David Archuleta’s single “Crush” premiere’s on New York’s Z100 at 7:45 this morning. You can listen live at the station’s website.
Apparently, finishing touches were still being put on the song as late as last night. David will be listening to the song for the first time on the radio with everyone else…
Could the woman on this show be any more condescending. She’s about to pinch his cheeks!
The song itself? Pretty much what I expect from Jive. The song is produced for maximum hit potential. The vocals are overprocessed, but what isn’t these days? Jive did a terrific job getting Jordin Sparks to the top of the charts this past year, I expect no less for Archie.

It’s ok reinharv. Archie is stil young, let him enjoy singing the generic pop songs for awhile yet, and he seems to genuinely enjoy it. If he is still singing this kind of tunes in ten years time, then I’ll worry. Besides, Jive has agood record when it comes to artist transformation, see JT from a Disney star to now, don’t know if that’s a good example. The target audience is teens, but the song is definitely not Disney.à £Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€š ¬Sorry my english isn’t so good.
