Adding up to the star-studded roster of Bench endorsers, which include music icon Bruno Mars and Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale, is American Idol 7 runner-up David Archuleta, who won the hearts of many Filipinos with his boy-next-door charm and exceptional singing voice.
17 February, 2012, the Philippines' leading clothing and lifestyle brand launched David Archuleta as their newest model, with a musical fashion show like no other before. The theme: School Spirit!
Opening the fashion show were gorgeous models who strutted down the runway with the clothing line's most colourful collection touched with a lot of school attitude. Cheerleaders and what seemed like hip-hop street dancers also excited the audience with their impressive dance moves and stunts.
After a long wait (fans have been lining up in the venue since morning that day!), the most awaited person of the night was finally called.
A brilliant explosion of red, white, and silver confetti filled the area as an ever-so-cheerful David Archuleta, clad in a shirt that says "Nandito Ako sa Bench" (a reference to his upcoming TV show on TV 5), denim pants, and a very casual blazer, appeared on the Bench stage in the middle of thousands and thousands of thrilled fans.
His first song of the night was "Nandito Ako", originally sung by local singer/songwriter Ogie Alcasid, which would be the theme song of the TV show of the same title he will star in. He impressed the Filipino crowd by singing the Tagalog song without any hint of his American accent.
He then sang his hit song "Touch My Hand", while literally reaching out his hand to crazed fans. He also showed off his impeccable piano skills by playing the Beatles classic "Let It Be", mashing it up with two other songs. The audience enthusiastically sang along as David performed his very first post-Idol single "Crush". And wrapping up the mini-concert slash musical fashion show, and announcing that his appearance for the night would be his last time performing on-stage before he kicks off his 2-year church mission, David played the keys again to Vanessa Carlton's "A Thousand Miles".
Right after the show, lucky fans got to have David sign their Bench campaign photos.
If you missed last night's show, you can catch David and have an autograph later today at SM Megamall at 4 PM, and at SM City North EDSA The Block Atrium at 6 PM.
