"American Idol" runner-up David Archuleta heads to the Wellmont Theatre on Sunday promoting his Christmas album, "Christmas From The Heart." The album works to capture both Archuleta's cheerful personality and undeniable vocal talent. Archuleta has proven himself dedicated to singing, being famed for overcoming vocal paralysis before starting his whirlwind of success on "American Idol."

His progression would continue after the show with his popular self-titled debut album. The album featured "Crush," a song that would hit No. 2 on the Billboard charts. Not surprisingly, both of his parents have musical backgrounds and were an inspiration to the young Archuleta, who is now only 18 years of age.

DILLON RAND: I'm sure everyone asks you about "American Idol" and what the experience was like. What questions are you sick of answering by now?

DAVID ARCHULETA: I wouldn't say I am sick of hearing any of them. I mean, a lot of people ask me if Simon is mean. He is actually a nice guy who is just doing his job as a judge. He can get pretty blunt in doing his job, but he is a nice guy in person.

DILLON: Your most popular song has been "Crush," which boasts a chorus "I know this crush ain't going away." Who was this crush on and has it gone away yet?

DAVID: Well I didn't actually write the song so I didn't have anyone particular in mind when it was being written. I don't really have anyone that I have a crush on right now either. I really feel like I have been married to music. I mean, I don't feel old enough to be married to anything, but I guess you could say I am married to music. That is the thing I have been focusing on. It's fun to go on dates, I just haven't done a lot of it! Maybe next year there will be a time when I can focus more on that. But I don't know. I have not been focused on anything like that lately. So no crushes right now!

DILLON: So I'm guessing the focus has instead been the tour and the next album. What can you tell me about the upcoming album?

DAVID: Well now that the Christmas album is done and the Christmas tour has already started, the next focus will be writing for the next album. I think I will be starting to get into that in January, so next month already, I will really start to focus in on writing songs, and I am looking forward to getting a hold of other people and writing with them.

DILLON: I recently read a review of a show from this tour in which the reporter wrote that your rendition of "Ave Maria" moved them and everyone else in the audience to tears. That's quite a compliment!

DAVID: That has just been a really special song to sing and I feel like it's a really reverent one. It is about someone who was really special. You know, the Virgin Mother, Mary. It's interesting because I wasn't even going to keep it in the show. I almost didn't put it in the show because it was so hard to sing and I didn't want it to be a letdown every night. I would feel horrible doing that. I told myself I was going to try it for the first two shows in Utah and then just drop it from there. But I just enjoyed singing it so much and felt that it was such a special song. I knew it was a hard song to sing but told myself I was going to try and go for it anyway. And I am really happy about that. I am happy that people have appreciated it, too. It's been so fun to have in the show. It is still not an easy song to sing, but it is worth trying, because it is such a great, meaningful song.

DILLON: At a show last month in Utah, your mother, Lupe, came out and joined you in a duet of "A Merry Little Christmas." I heard she sounded good, too! Ever think about having mom go on tour with you?

DAVID: Man, I was trying to get her to come to other shows because it's just fun having her, but she said, "Oh I'm tired ... I don't know." She came to the San Francisco show because I was in the Bay Area after Utah, so I was able to sing with her again there. But I think she is kind of worn out. She is running around keeping track of the rest of my brothers and sisters, so I don't blame her for being too tired to come. But I really like singing with her. I think the last time I sang with her was years ago so I was really happy to get the chance to do it again. And I let her enjoy it, too. She loves it! She is part of the reason why I love music. I would always listen to her and think "Man … I kind of want to be like my mom." I had always wanted to be a performer like her.

DILLON: It's funny that she is telling you that she's busy, when most people would guess it to be the other way around.

DAVID: Oh no, it isn't her show or anything like that. She is a mom. She said she wanted to, but she was just tired. I was trying really hard too! I said, "C'mon mom, it is close enough to home where you can come!" And she just said, "Ugh, I'm too tired." But she is such a hard worker. It has been great that she has been home taking care of the kids and all. She treats all of her kids the same. People talk to her about me but she always tells them: "I love all my kids. They're all great. David, Daniel, Claudia, Jazzy, Amber, they're all awesome!"

DILLON: Well she sounds like a wonderful lady.

DAVID: I love my mother (Laughs).

DILLON: I hear you're writing a memoir. How's that coming?

DAVID: It has been fun because I have been able to show people more of my personality. I have gotten to talk about the things I want to talk about, things I actually normally talk about.

DILLON: Shifting gears a bit, you won a Teen Choice Award in '08 for "Most Fanatic Fans."

DAVID: Oh yeah (laughs). I was surprised because the Jonas Brothers have more fanatic fans than I do. I don't know. I don't have as many fans as the Jonas Brothers, but the fans I have are really dedicated. I really appreciate it. They are the ones who allow me to do this. They are the ones who support me and come to the shows and enjoy the music. You just have to love and appreciate what they do. Sometimes it can get a little crazy, but all in all they are really great. And they try to be really respectful to me. I think that is really cool of them to do. They don't hound and attack me. They just say "Hi!"

DILLON: Well what has been your craziest fan moment so far?

DAVID: Well they don't usually pounce me, but it was weird with this one lady. She must've been in her 40s and I was running to a car when she just screams, "David Archuleta!" and grabs me. She wouldn't let go of me and she kept trying to kiss my face. She just kept screaming my name, too, and I was wondering what on earth was going on. It was really awkward. No one had really tried to kiss my face like that. And I'm not a kissy person (laughs).

DILLON: You recently put out a Christmas album, you are currently touring across the country performing Christmas songs, and your birthday is three days after Christmas. It must be pretty easy for you to get into the Christmas spirit …

DAVID: Yeah, well I've been celebrating Christmas for five months now, so it's been nice (laughs). I said to myself, "Okay David, it's weird singing these songs in the summer, but there's still meaning to them and that doesn't ever change." And that makes me think about what these songs mean and what they are all about. The songs are really cool and I'm just glad to sing them and make an album of them because they really mean a lot to me. It has just been a great experience.

DILLON: What are your plans for the holidays?

DAVID: I'm hoping to be home. My birthday is just three days after and it would be nice to be with the family just relaxing. It was so nice to do that last year. I had never appreciated it so much until last year, when I was almost never home. I am just happy to hang out with my family, playing video games and watching TV. It's nice.
