Making David Archuleta Bonus Songs Available On iTunes

To:  Jive

David Archuleta. American Idol front-runner from season 7. An unbelievably talented, down to earth, humble, all around amazing guy who will just BLOW YOU AWAY. He's only 17 but has the most incredible, mature vocals of anyone I've ever heard. You can't help but love this guy. Need I say more?

His debut album came out on November 11,2008.If you pre-ordered the album on iTunes you will have realized that 5 bonus songs were added to the CD, including a pre-order bonus, "Somebody Out There". When David was just 14 years old he wrote and composed the music for "Falling" which is included on the deluxe version. Unfortunately you cannot buy each song separately on iTunes. If you want one song you need to buy the whole album again.

This petition is to convince Jive to release the following bonus songs as available for purchase as singles on iTunes: "Somebody Out There," "Falling." "Let Me Go," and "Waiting for Yesterday." If possible, we would love for "Works for Me" to be available as well. We believe that these songs would sell extremely well as singles.

I would also like to point out that "Somebody Out There" has completely vanished, since it was just a preorder bonus song. That song can be purchased nowhere! And I know many fans( and brand-new fans!) are drawn to this song, because it offers encouragement and hope.

It's a shame that those who didn't buy the Wal-Mart CD or pre-ordered from iTunes couldn't get these songs without downloading them illegally. I know so many people are downloading them illegally, and it's not fair to David and to Jive! I know this is a very hard task, but I know we can do it! We have accomplished so many things before (Teen Choice Awards 08, changing the second single etc.), and I know we can make this happen. Yes we can!

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
