Justin Bieber Vs. David Archuleta : Who Wins? You Decide. March 16, 2010

Posted by Ruth in : Music, Ruth's Ramblings , trackback

When I started out as a music journalist, never did I think id be writing about two US popstars, both kids, both loaded and both teenage heartthrobs. I mean, fair enough, I can see why kids fancy vampire Robert Pattinson, or even Justin Timberlake, but Beiber and Archuleta, come on, have their voices even broken?

So, we’re looking to bring an end to the Justin Bieber Vs. David Archuleta nonsense, and once and for all let you, the fans decide who is best. We know making you pick is like asking a mum to pick her favourite child or asking me to choose between Sebastian Vettel and Giovanni Ribisi, but because we’re mean (and we can) we’ve decided to throw it open to the fans.

Okay, so this kinda means that is one boy has more fans than the other they’re bound to win… and whilst we reckon JB might have just a couple more teens on his side, our love for Mr Archuleta means we’re going to be ringing round all our mates and getting them to vote. No, we’re just joking, we wouldn’t want our ’scientific findings’ to be biased or anything.

So, here’s the boys current stats:

In the red corner….. David Archuleta


Birth name : David Archuleta
Born : December 28, 1990 (age 19)
Origin :
Murray, Utah, U.S.
Genres : Pop
Occupations : Singer-songwriter, student, actor
Instruments : Vocals, piano, keyboards, guitar
Years active : 2003–present
Labels :
Jive

David Archuleta is a strong contender having won the children’s division of the Utah Talent Competition  at just 10 years old, before finishing as runner up of American Idol in 2008, receiving 44 percent of over 97 million votes.

His first single, Crush, was released just a few months later and whilst it only debuted at number two, it has since shifted just short of 2 million copies.  He also Male Rising Star at the ALMA awards in 2009 as well as Breakout Artist, Love Song, and Best Tou at the Teen Choice Awards 2009, along with finding himself in the Forbes top ten for 2008.
And is one of my favourite songs on my ‘Car CD.’

In the blue corner…. Justin Bieber

Birth name : Justin Drew Bieber
Born : March 1, 1994 (age 16)
Origin : Stratford, Ontario, Canada
Genres : Pop, R&B
Occupation : Singer, songwriter
Instruments : Vocals, guitar, piano, percussion, trumpet
Years active : 2007–present
Labels : Island, RBMG
Associated acts :
Usher, Ludacris, Sean Kingston

Justin Bieber might not be legally old enough to do much in the US, but that hasn’t stopped him kicking some musical ass ever since his YouTube performances were picked up by his now-manager Scooter Braun.

Annoyingly, he decided to release his debut album in two parts, and the leas single, One Time did exceptionally well, despite the fact I thought it was a girl singing until I saw the video in the gym about a month ago.

In all credit to him though, the first four singles from My World
The first part of his two-part[7] debut album My World was released on “One Time”, “One Less Lonely Girl”, “Love Me”, and “Favorite Girl”, were all Top 15 hits on the Canadian Hot 100 and Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 before the album was even released!

In less than a month of release, the album was certified Platinum in Canada, and in less than two months later, the album was certified Platinum in the United States, selling over a million copies. It was also certified Silver in the United Kingdom.

Unsurprisingly then, Bieber was named the hottest star of 2009 by J-14, newcomer of the year by MuchMusic, and listed by Celebuzz as one of the Top 10 YouTube stars of the decade – but has he won YOU over?

    And do u think justin would be good at singing ‘crush’ or ‘a little too not over you’?
    Remember, nobody’s perfect! Okay? Peace –v

  22. tricia says:

    I don’t know who comes up with these polls. I guess too much time on their hands. Should just
    get a job. Anyway to compare little Justin to David Archuleta is a complete and absolute mindless
    insult. BIG NO NO. David is in a league all on his own.
