While Kris Allen received many birthday wishes yesterday, Lee DeWyze recently signed a record deal and Adam Lambert continues to make headlines, let’s not forget about David Archuleta. That former American Idol finalist has carved out a nice career for himself, establishing a rabid fan base, releasing two albums and promoting a book titled “Chords of Strength: A Memoir of Soul, Song and the Power of Perseverance.” Archie performed in Idaho earlier this week and included two new singles in his set list: “Not a Very Good Liar” and “Parachutes and Airplanes.” It’s unclear when David will release a new CD, but expect these songs to be included on it.

Adam Lambert may receive more attention , but let’s not forget: Kris Allen won the eighth season of American Idol . The singer hasn’t gone on to huge success, though fans can take solace in this fact: he isn’t Taylor Hicks, either.
