David Archuleta Sings “America the Beautiful” at 2009 U.S. Open

The U.S. Open is about to wrap up and, since I write about tennis, I was super surprised and excited to see David Archuleta performing "America the Beautiful" before the women's final match between Caroline Wozniacki and Kim Clijsters (Clisjters ended up winning).

Archie sounded a little nervous at first but he quickly turned on the magic and his gorgeous voice shone through. The crowd cheered when he was joined by the United States Marine Corps 6th Communications Battalion. It was understated and touching so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Clarkson and Pickler Support Taylor Swift After Kanye West Incident

Posted: 14 Sep 2009 10:31 AM PDT

It's no secret that American Idol alum, Kellie Pickler, and Taylor Swift are very close friends. They've written songs together, toured together and are spotted hanging out all the time so I wasn't surprised when Kellie showed her frustration of Kanye West stealing what should have been an amazing moment from Taylor at the 2009 MTV Video Awards last night.

Kellie tweeted, "Tator Tot, you handled yourself with Grace. Kanye, go grow some f-ing balls, bi—! don’t mess w/my lil sis!!"

She kept her message short and to the point but the original American Idol winner, Kelly Clarkson, let loose on her blog. which, again, is no surprise since Kelly isn't one to bite her tongue. Here's what she wrote:

Dear Kanye, what happened to you as a child??. Did you not get hugged enough?? Something must have happened to make you this way and I think we’re all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone teenager, feel like sh–. I mean, I’ve seen you do some pretty sh—y things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, a–hole ways. It’s absolutely fascinating how much I don’t like you. I like everyone. I even like my a–hole ex that cheated on me over you … which is pretty odd since I don’t even personally know you. The best part of this evening is that you weren’t even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a Moonman that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really??

I was actually nominated in the same category that Taylor won, and I was excited for her … so why can’t you be? I’m not even mad at you for being an a–hole … I just pity you because you’re a sad human being. On a side note, Beyoncé has always been a class act and proved again tonight that she still is. Go TEXAS!! Taylor Swift, you outsell him … that’s why he’s bitter. You know I love your work! Keep it up girl!

If you didn't catch the disgusting moment in television, watch it here. He's done some crummy things over the years but this was the worst (fortunately, Beyoncé had the class to do the right thing):
