AMERICAN IDOL STAR IN MALAYSIA

PETALING JAYA: The real world and cyberspace were caught up in the David Archuleta mania as the runner-up of last year’s American Idol made a surprise appearance at SMK Sri KDU in Kota Damansara.
“It was crazy as I did not realise how many kids would be there.
“I did not expect them to be that enthusiastic and have that much energy,” said Archuleta of the big crowd at the school yesterday.
He was mobbed by an equally huge crowd when he landed at KL International Airport on Wednesday.
The students of the school were rewarded with the special visit after having won the Hitz.fm “Bring Archuleta To Your School” campaign.Students were required to answer questions and vote for their schools on the radio station’s website. The school garnered a whopping 65,700 votes.
The 18-year-old singer spent about an hour at the secondary school, posing for pictures with the top students before entering the hall where he was greeted with screams.
Earlier, Archuleta told the crowd how much he loved Malaysia and what a surreal experience it was for him to be in Malaysia, all the way from Utah, United States.After the event, Archuleta held a press conference at the Sunway Lagoon Theme Park.
