Why did David Archuleta became a singer?

Answer 1

David says he first became interested in singing when he was 6 years old. His family moved from Florida to Utah and David was watching a video of Les Miserable. He said he became entranced with it and watch it over and over. His parents said he them sang back a whole song from Les Miserable complete with accent. That was where his interest in singing began. But what got him into pop/soul singing was watching the first season of American Idol, especially the emotional intensity of Kelly Clarkson and Tamyra Gray. David felt something when he listened to them (he described it as Whoah - what was that?). And he wanted to do that - he wanted to sing songs so people felt them.
