David is one of only two non winners on American Idol to never be in the bottom group. The other was Clay Aiken in Season 2. (edit) He used to do cross country. (edit) David can speak both English and Spanish. (edit) Natasha Bedingfield was a fan of David's on American Idol. (edit) David's record label is JIVE Records. (edit)

(on an interview with Larry King)
David: Syesha [Mercado] really is an amazing vocalist, and performer, and you know, so talented and it's so weird when she does one of the most unbelievable performances I've ever heard in my life and the judges are like, uh I don't know, and I'm like, Ok what is wrong with you, what's the problem, did you not just hear that? (laughs) (edit) David: It's always fun to have Carly [Smithson] and David Cook, and Michael Johns was a lot of fun to have around, it's sad he gone, and Ramiele [Malubay]. But, you know, it's just fun to have those big jokers. Carly and Cook are just really funny people. And then you have like Syesha who is really weird and crazy and, it's fun, they just make me laugh so hard I cry all the time. (edit) David: (about Idol school when Alaina and Alexandrea were voted off) It was really hard because we spent hours a day in a room to ourselves, getting really close. We all sit at one table. We bond. (edit) David: (his advice for future contestants) Remember to be yourself and remember throughout everything why you first wanted to do this. (edit) David: I [used to] go in my room and practice the songs I heard [American Idol]. I'd sing to myself in the mirror. I learned so much from watching, it's nuts. To actually be on the show is "way trippy." (edit)
