David Archuleta is extremely tired.
And who can blame him?
After an early-morning flight from his home in Utah to Los Angeles -- where he's calling from Tuesday at 9:30 a.m., West Coast time -- the second-place winner from last season's "American Idol" isn't initially quite coherent enough to recall why he's there.
"Something about 'Hannah Montana,' I think," he murmurs.
Are you acting on the show, as you recently did on Nickelodeon's "iCarly"?
"I dunno. It's just another guest appearance thing, I think."
As the conversation progresses, Archuleta shakes off his sleepiness (he said he had to wake up at 4:30 a.m.), though he's a little unfocused, breaking midthought to comment on a workers strike taking place outside his hotel window and frequently yawning during his answers.
But even when he isn't 100 percent centered, Archuleta is sweeter than the majority of 18-year-old boys you'll encounter, and he frequently punctuates his answers with a disarming giggle.
His first headlining tour kicks off Tuesday in Virginia Beach. The next night, he comes to Richmond, at The National.
He's a little nervous, understandably, mostly because he had, at that point, only rehearsed one time with his new four-piece band.
That's what happens when you're the most recent "Idol" runner-up -- everyone wants a piece of you.
From the Pro Bowl (where he sang the national anthem and also fell in love with Hawaii) to Orlando (where he and "Idol" winners and notable contestants gathered last week to debut the "American Idol Experience" at Disney World) to New Orleans (where Archuleta served as grand marshal in a Mardi Gras parade last weekend), the teddy-bearish crooner has barely had time to stop and savor his success.
His self-titled debut album arrived in November, three months after his first single, "Crush," did exactly that to the competition on the charts.
The song has sold 1.5 million digital downloads, while the album has moved more than 600,000 copies.
Archuleta said he plans to perform "pretty much the whole album" during his show and maybe some cover tunes.
The tour is also his first true break from the "Idol" regime, and he acknowledges it will be strange not having his buds from the show to keep him company.
"On the [summer 'Idol'] tour, we'd end around midnight every night and watch movies and stuff on the bus," he said. "I don't have [the other contestants] to hang out with, but now, I've been away from them long enough. Before, it was like, wow, you'd been with them for so long, and right after coming off the tour, it was really weird, not having them there. But now, I've been away from 'Idol' long enough to do my own thing."
Archuleta said he talks to all of his former show mates almost weekly -- "except Chikezie [Ezie]. I have his number, but I really haven't talked to him."
He and last season's "Idol" winner, David Cook, see each other frequently when they're paired to perform at corporate events, and Archuleta reiterates that the scruffier David is like a big brother to him.
Archuleta is also trying to make time to watch this season of the show, especially now that the live performances and voting period have kicked in.
"It's really interesting to watch now because I understand so much more of what they have to go through," he said.
One thing that still baffles the wholesome singer is the attention lavished on him in public. He laughs when asked if he's gotten more comfortable with the screaming girls and crazed fans.
"I don't know. It depends on what kind of mood you're in. I got reminded of all the people who know who you are with all of these appearances. All these people were coming out and it was like, oh my gosh, all these people are coming out to see me?" "Why did they come out to see me? It's just me."
In his sleep-deprived haze, Archuleta doesn't even realize that he answered his own question.
David Archuleta está extremamente cansado.
E quem pode culpá-lo?
Após o início de um voo de manhã de sua casa, em Utah para Los Angeles - onde ele está chamando a partir de terça-feira às 9:30, hora da Costa Oeste - o segundo lugar da última temporada do "American Idol" não está disperto o suficiente para recordar por que razão ele está lá.
"Algo sobre Hannah Montana, penso eu," ele supôs.
Você irá atuar no show, como recentemente aconteceu no "iCarly" da Nickelodeon?
"Não sei. Acho que é apenas uma aparição, eu acho."
Como a conversa avança, Archuleta espanta sua sonolência (ele disse que teve que acordar às 4h30), embora ele fique disperso, rompendo a conversa e comentando sobre a greve dos trabalhadores que estavam do lado de fora do hotel que ele estava e freqüentemente bocejando durante as suas respostas.
Mas mesmo quando ele não está 100% centrado, Archuleta é mais doce do que a maioria dos meninos de 18 anos, e ele frequentemente pontua suas respostas com uma risada desconcertante.
Seu primeiro show aterrisará na terça-feira em Virginia Beach. E a próxima noite, ele virá a Richmond, no The National;
Ele está um pouco nervoso, compreensivelmente, principalmente porque ele ensaiou apenas uma vez com a suja nova banda.
Isso é o que acontece quando você é o mais recente "Idolo" - todos querem um pedaço de você.
Do Pro Bowl (onde cantou o hino nacional, e também se apaixonou Havaí) a Orlando (onde ele e os "Idolos" vencedores e notáveis participantes reunidos na semana passada, a estreiaram o "American Idol Experience" na Disney), para Nova Orleans (onde ele desfilou no final de semana para o grand marshal Mardi Gras), ele mal teve tempo para parar e saborear o seu sucesso.
Sua estréia do álbum auto-intitulado chegou em novembro, três meses depois do seu primeiro single, "Crush", fez exatamente isso na parada de sucesso.
A canção já vendeu 1,5 milhões de downloads digitais, enquanto o álbum vendeu mais de 600.000 cópias.
Archuleta disse que pretende tocar "praticamente todo o álbum" durante o seu show e talvez cantar outras músicas.
A turnê também é a sua primeira verdadeira ruptura com o regime do American Idol, e ele reconhece que será estranho não ter seus amigos dos shows para fazer companhia.
"Na turnê [ que aconteceu no verão'] os shows terminavam a meia-noite e todos iam ver filmes e fazíamos coisas juntos no ônibus", disse ele. "Não tenho [os outros participantes] para sair, mas agora, já fiquei afastado deles durante um tempo suficiente. Antes, era como, uau, você esteve com eles por tanto tempo, e logo após ter saindo da turnê, foi realmente estranho, não tendo-os lá. Mas agora, já estou afastado do American Idol tempo suficiente para fazer minhas próprias coisas. "
Archuleta disse que ele fala com todos os seus antigos companheiros quase que semanalmente - "exceto Chikezie [Ezie]. Tenho o número dele, mas eu realmente não falei com ele."
Ele e o vencedor, David Cook, têm se encontrado frequentemente, principalmente em eventos corporativos, e reitera que David é como um irmão mais velho para ele.
Archuleta também tenta ganhar tempo para assistir a nova temporada do show, especialmente agora que as performances ao vivo e as votações iniciaram.
"É muito interessante ver agora, porque eu entendo tudo que eles terão que passar.", disse ele.
Uma coisa que ainda desconcerta o cantor é comentar sobre a atenção sobre ele em público. Ele ri quando perguntado se ele está mais confortável com os gritos das meninas e das fãs elouquecidas.
"Eu não sei. Depende do seu humor. Eu me lembro das pessoas que te conhecem após suas aparições. Todas essas pessoas estavam saindo e foi como se, oh meu Deus, todas estas pessoas estão saindo para me ver? " "Porque é que eles vêm para me ver? sou só eu."
