Yeah, you’re not the only one wondering where the teen sensation got the song he sang yesterday night.. If you believe what Simon Cowell insinuated, it was David Archuleta’s dad that chose his “song from birth year”. But, according to MTV, Archie said he chose the obscure “You’re the Voice” because he totally loves Australian singer John Farnham. Yeah, Farnham who?? Apparently he’s very big Down Under and holds the highest selling album there.

Anyway, David Archuleta shared, “It’s one of my all-time favorite songs [”You’re the Voice”] … everything about it is just so great — the words and the music. I love it so much. So I thought it would be great to sing it.” David Archuleta also added that despite Simon’s insinuations to the otherwise, he DID pick the song himself =) “You’re the Voice” is from an album called River of Love from acclaimed producer David Foster, featuring vocalist Jeff Pescetto. It was originally sung in 1986 by Archie’s fave John Farnham.
