David Archuleta Praises ‘Down To Earth’ Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony

David Archuleta updated fans on his blog at MySpace (@davidarchuleta) on Tuesday (January 20), talking about a busy week that included a Hard Rock Cafe show in New York City, a Radio Disney appearance, performing at Sundance, and heading to Washington, DC for the presidential inauguration. The ‘American Idol’ season seven runner-up tells readers:

I then flew out to DC to sing the National Anthem at a Latino Gala event on Sunday, one of the events going on for the week of the inauguration. Some of the performers were War, Paulina Rubio, Alejandro Sanz, and Marc Anthony, and I really enjoyed watching them. I got a chance to talk to Jennifer and Marc, and they were some of the coolest people I have ever met! It’s awesome because my mom is a huge fan of both of them, and they’re both incredibly talented. I love meeting people who are really well known and stuff, and you expect them to act all big and important, when they are some of the most down-to-earth cool people you’ve ever met haha. That’s how they were, and I really respected them for that. And I hope I can sing like Marc when I’m older.

So another thing I got to do was go the the Museum of Natural History in DC, which I LOVED! I’m such a fan of things like museums lol. And there was so much to look at there. They had a lot of prehistoric animal skeletons to look at, and I got some pictures so I’ll load those up. But seriously, if you live in that area you need to go that museum! It’s a lot of fun. Well, at least if you like museums it’s fun.
