David Archuleta’s vocal talent thrust him into the spotlight when he finished second on the seventh season of "American Idol" in 2008. While Archuleta appears to be at ease behind a microphone, he recently expressed in a blog post on his website that other aspects of fame have placed him outside his comfort zone.
In a Jan. 13, 2015, post, Archuleta wrote candidly that after stepping away from the stage to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Chile from 2012-2014, he realized just how much he disliked the limelight.
