David Archuleta Things Are Gonna Get Better:Jerry Lewis 2010 Telethon Video – David Archuleta was taking part in the Jerry Lewis 2010 Telethon which was raising money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. He took the opportunity to promote the telethon and himself and debut his new song that is titled “Things Are Gonna Get Better.” The telethon is notorious for raising funds for a number of different diseases and employing the help of many different celebrities in the process. Debuting his new song during the telethon will encourage many of his fans to tune into the event. After his performance, he encouraged his fans to donate to the good cause.
Archuleta finished in second place in the 2008 “American Idol,” contest but has built himself a solid career since that time. He was introduced by Nygel Lythgoe who said that he had a sweet-sounding voice. The song is from his brand new album which will be released October 5th titled “The Other Side of Down.”
It will be interesting to see how well his new album performs on the Billboard charts. He has been teaming up with the likes of the Jonas Brothers for a number of recent shows to build anticipation for his upcoming release.
The Jerry Lewis telethon started at 9 PM ET on Sunday night and will run through 5 PM ET on September 6th. A number of big name celebrities, including Enrique Iglesias, OneRepublic, Ace Young and the full cast of “Glee” are taking part in the event. The event uses the status of the celebrities it employs to encourage donating to the foundation.

I stayed up to almost 2AM East coast time to see David perform. I’m glad there are good videos so others can see David sing his new song. I’m looking forward to his upcoming CD!
Just wowwwwww Amazing
Love him!
I love David. Can’t wait for his album.
When he sang Imagine on Idol, my family was so impressed by his powerful and beautiful voice. He was the youngest and best singer. He looks more professional now and still CAN SING LIVE!!
I also stayed up until 2:00 am just to see David. I hope next time, he’ll be on prime time because he deserves prime time. He was fabulous. I love the new song and I think it (the song) was the most fitting for MDA. His performance was so heart-warming and hopeful and was sung with such feeling, he had me in tears. I believe he wrote this song and he’s only 19 yrs old. This world needs more David Archuletas. And just maybe he’ll be the one to inspire people, especially our young people. Amen
I just love it!!!!! He is just amazing!
david is so amazing (:
David sounds great! Variety is key and he says this album is more who he is today. I can’t wait! I love the new songs and the messagees or feel good they have in them and THAT VOICE! I never tire of it and of who he is. One in a billion! I just hope he keeps doing what he does. I could ask for nothing more. (BTW he does need the Jonas Bros to boost his album as he will hold his own and is of a completely different caliber.) Love HIM!
Sorry…typo…He DOES NOT NEED the JO BRO to boost his album. Everything is going to be alright. He is a magnet to those that know talent, beauty, and pure of heart. We need more like David Archuleta.
I stay all night to watch David perform and TAGGB was really imotional song 4 me so it was worth the stay up all night thing!!!!!!!!!!!!
I donated after hearing this young man sing this song with so much feeling that it brought tears to my eyes. Just beautiful! It is really too bad they didn’t realize how beneficial it would have been to have him on prime time.
