Friends of David Archuleta Speak on American Idol Favorite

MTV recently traveled to Murray, Utah, in order to speak with those who knew David Archuleta in high school.Here’s how a few friends of the American Idol favorite described the adorable 17-year old:

• Kellene Kim, a friend and classmate at Murray High, said she called Archuleta “Lettuce Boy.” The reason?

“David has a tendency to not really listen, ’cause he kinda likes to sing to himself,” Kim explained. “We were sitting around, just hanging out, talking about how someone had found a bug in their lettuce from a fast-food place, and [David] tunes in. He heard us, and he’s like, ‘What? But I love lettuce!’ And so now we call him ‘lettuce boy.’ ”

• Mietra Aarabi told MTV News: “Music is David’s life and always has been. When he’s talking in just normal conversation, if anything reminds him of a song, he just starts randomly singing.”
