No other dream for Archuleta than singing

MANILA, Philippines - Other than singing, no other dream has ever occupied American Idol Season 7 runner-up David Archuleta. “I don’t really have any other dream," he said during an interview aired over Magic 89.9’s radio show Friday. According to the 18-year-old singer-songwriter, he would probably even settle for a small-time career just so he would get to practice his music. “If it weren’t an international career, it [would] probably [be] at least a domestic career," he said. And despite his acting stints on Nickelodeon’s iCarly and Disney’s Hannah Montana, Archuleta said that he’s probably not made for acting either. “Before until recently I thought I couldn’t act, I’d say I’m a terrible actor," he said jokingly. He said, however, that the quick appearances were “a lot of fun." “But for now, I’m definitely interested in mainstream music," he was quick to add. The Idol star, on the other hand, said that he recognizes how music and acting careers tend to become short-lived. “I don’t know how long it will last, as much as I’d love to have a career in singing all my life and make a living off of it, you don’t know what can happen, sometimes it even lasts even for a year," he said. With that in mind, Archuleta said, it’s really important to keep one’s education “ongoing." “It’s an important thing to have there, education always comes in handy anyway," he said. He added that besides choir period – which he said probably doesn’t count – his favorite academic subject would be English. “I really liked English, I’m really bad at writing papers, but everything else I just love it," he said. - GMANews.TV
