I don’t watch American Idol but I always know who wins and who is the runner up. I hear this song on the radio all the time. David Archuleta’s debut single Crush. His voice is very mature, if you knew nothing about him I don’t think you would say he's a 15 year old boy singing.
Here’s Billboard’s review:
It's not a stretch to suggest that Sony chief (and former Jive prez) Barry Weiss saved the "American Idol" franchise from top 40 radio demise. Instead of trying to overcontemporize the pageant's pop finalists with ill-fitting R&B production (read: Katharine McPhee), he has carefully aligned acts with material that matches (read: Jordin Sparks). So the prognosis is aces for the launch of season-seven runner-up David Archuleta. "Crush" is a hummable, age-appropriate midtempo pop ditty for the 17-year-old, showcasing his fine mass-appeal vocal stylings with creamy harmonies and some nice falsetto effects. The track is produced by millennium wiz Emanuel Kiriakou, who has worked with Sparks, Jesse McCartney, Celine Dion and Nick Lachey. "AI" has shown renewed radio potency thanks to such super-caliber artists as Chris Daughtry, Jennifer Hudson and Carrie Underwood—along with the democratizing of the consumer vote, via iTunes. "Crush" is likely to put its money where its title is on the charts. —Chuck Taylor
