'American Idol': David Archuleta's new track leaks, memoir cover revealed
There seems to be an embarrassment of "American Idol" riches on the interwebs Saturday, Feb. 27, if you're a David Archuleta fan.
The cover of Archie's upcoming memoir, "Chords of Strength," which the Season 7 runner-up's been busy working on and blogging about has been released on Amazon. Coincidentally, a single titled "She's Not You" presumably from Archuleta's next disc has also leaked on the net simultaneously.
Archuleta is clearly gearing up for a mini-media blitz in preparation for the book's release in May, which just so happens to be the month that a certain FOX talent competition's season finale airs. Can "American Idol" fans expect a return to the stage where just two seasons ago Archuleta was facing off with winner David Cook for the "American Idol" crown. We shall see.
Frequent Tweeter Archuleta sent out his prayers via Twitter to the victims of Chile, where fellow former "Idol" contender Elliott Yamin was performing in the Vina del Mar International Song festival. Yamin was twittering as the devastating 8.8 magnitude quake hit just off the coast of the country. Subsequently, Yamin spoke live via phone on CNN, ABC News and the Today Show.The cover of Archie's upcoming memoir, "Chords of Strength," which the Season 7 runner-up's been busy working on and blogging about has been released on Amazon.

Meanwhile, Archuleta is also reconnecting with fans through a series of new video entries on his newly launched Weekend Blog, as previously reported by The Dish Rag. The singer's been busy in February, traveling to Miami with mom Lupe to take part in the Spanish version of "We Are The World". He was also spotted in Los Angeles for one of the opening night performances of "The Color Purple," starring former Season 3 "Idol" winner Fantasia Barrino.
[UPDATE]: "She's Not You" is not actually a new track that will be featured on Archie's upcoming album. As it turns out it's the third song he ever recorded over a year and half ago. The track was one of the 30 plus songs he recorded for the first album but it didn't make the cut. Mystery solved.
Listen to David Archuleta -- 'She's Not You'. The Dish Rag thinks it's a catchy jam. What do you think?

Not sure what to expect from David's book but he cover sure looks good!
I like the leaked song but believe it's a leftover demo from the old album, definitely not gonna be part of the new cd.
I think the song is very catchy, good and specially very "him"....showing how he is..
GO ARCHIE FUN SONG LIKE IT!
I like the track because it is David. Thinking though that it might be a leftover track from the old album.
why leftover song and not new Lynee and Yumiko. It just leaked it doesn't sound like it fits with the Crush album.
I like the song. It's really catchy. I like it a lot whenever it's from. And I also like that book cover a lot! And a reminder - Monday Mar 1 Somos el Mundo premiers on the Cristina show and David is one of the singers. I think there is also supposed to be a 1-hour making-of special.
I don't know where this song is from, all I know is that I LUV IT! SO catchy and David's voice is SO perfect!!! -and the book cover? David is HOT!
I love it!!!! Love David!!!

So this is a left-over song from the last album? Dang it, because I was really looking forward to buying it! And from that, if you couldn't guess, I LOVE THIS SONG! It is so awesome! Very catchy, amazing vocals!
