Good job David! I wish you lots of success in your music career. Just be yourself and hopefully they will not have you sing anything that would make you feel uncomfortable with. They can be pretty pushy from what I have seen. Look forward to the new album.

I'm a mom of teenagers... I've missed watching him with my kids on tv, too. We will be buying this young man's CD as soon as it comes out. I loved his music. He has an incredible voice, and his songs always had meaning!

We are proud of you, David. Congratulations!

101%, me and my grown up kids will be buying his CD's. David A. is so special and his singing is so inspirational. We already miss him. Can't wait for the CD. We will also be downloading all his songs.

I will be on line at the store to buy David's album. This young man is a hugh bundle of talent and possessed with a voice that can move people to tears. I hope all of David's dreams come true.

I too am struggling with some serious "withdrawl" pangs since "Idol" ended for the season. David A. was a big part of our week, and, now that we can't see and hear him sing, we can only look forward to the release of his first new CD. Congratulations to you, David, for landing the contract. You have earned every moment of the recognition that you are receiving. Keep up the good work, and we'll see you on tour here in California very soon. And, thanks again for sharing your exceptional talents with us!

I am truly happy for David. I miss his singing on AI so I youtube him once in a while just to hear that angelic voice. O Holy Night was done to such perfection that I hope he makes a Christmas CD also. This family will definitely be buying his CD.

David is an amazing talent. I will be so thrilled to get his CD. I hope he will be able to set things up to protect his money. It is important to give a percentage to your church and even his parents but that should be a 10 % thing each to his church and parents and no more. I understand the Mormon church usually takes considerable more. I am not bashing the Mormons; we've had some wonderful Mormon neighbors. I just have concerns for this terrific young man and his future if he is not strong enough to stand on his own and make wish decisions.

"I understand the Mormon church usually takes considerable more."

I'm glad you're a David fan, but I don't think you understand anything about the Church with that comment.

David is not only the most talented of the season, he is the most mature, good natured person we have seen in a long time.

You can be sure that there will be long lines waiting to buy his CD's. God Bless David!

It's interesting that the article mentioned some lesser known artists as being with Jive Records. Why not mention that Justin Timberlake, Usher, Pink, Chris Brown, Britney Spears, R.Kelly, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Jordin Sparks, Nick Lachey, etc. were on the label? David is in good company, shares the label with some of the top artists in the business. As he should! He's an incredibly talented young man.

I'm convinced that David will be really HUGE! I love his exquisite, soaring, passionate voice and unique musicality. The adorable personality and being way cute self don't hurt, either.

I listen to him pretty much 24/7, still watch his videos on YouTube and DVR most every day. He's amazing! His singing moves me like no other artist I have EVER encountered. I can't wait for July 12th when I get to see him concert. His CDs can't come soon enough to suit me!
