Fifteen years after he finished second on “American Idol,” David Archuleta is once again the runner-up in a nationally televised TV singing competition.
The Macaw performs on "The Masked Singer."
Archuleta didn’t say that he grew up a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and that he served a mission, but after revealing himself, he told viewers he “grew up very religious” and that he “believed that if I lived ... being queer, I was going to be evil. So I worked really hard to be anything but that. It got to the point where I thought maybe it’s better if I’m not here,” he said, his voice breaking.
Whereas 97 million votes were recorded when Archuleta finished second on “American Idol” in 2008, the winner of “Masked Singer” is chosen by the votes of the show’s judges and studio audience.And it was pretty clear that two of the judges have never heard Archuleta sing, because just listening to the Macaw’s performances made it clear it was him.
Archuletta revealed in early 2022 that he had to cancel a concert tour because he had surgery to remove nodules from his vocal chords.
