Archie returned home yesterday afternoon for a concert at the E Center in his home state of Utah for the American Idol’s Live Tour. The 10,000 screaming fans gave him an enthusiastic welcome has he sang Apologize, Stand By Me, and Angels.

According to fan reports, David became so emotional during his set that he broke down and cried, telling the fans that he didn’t think they knew how much their support means to him. He even had to wipe away tears before finishing the song When You Say You Love Me.

Archie also told Desert News that he’s busy choosing songs for his record and will record after the tour ends September 13.

“I’ll be focusing on recording my CD. It’s different choosing the songs for a pop CD than it is for a rock or country CD. There are some good songs out there, and I want to choose the ones that are a good balance of radio hits and emotional songs.”

He’s also working on writing songs, but isn’t sure how that will pan out.

“I just hope that some of the songs I write are actually good enough to be on the CD.”
