I think it's just something he does wen he's nervous,not that big of a deal

Yea, I gotta admit that I noticed that lip-licking mayhem. It's so noticible too, because he has lips that are much like R&;B artists that lick their lips also. They think it's sexy cuz it's like, "yo-yo, I'm lickin it up getttin ready to sang' all up on dis nex' verse, yo." And you know, I can totally empathize with David Archuletta, because he grew up with N'Sync and all the white dudes that mimmick their lip-lickin action.

"All I ever waaaannteeedd(lick)"

"All I ever neeeeeedeeed (lick)...."

Let's all lick it up, yo.

Wow that is truly weird. Especially to do that while he's singing. Besides that point, if this site really wanted to vote for the worst....it would be promoting DAVID ARCHULETA(sp). He is so fake!!!!! He has no emotion when he sings. He would not sell an album and even if he did no one would go to the concert. He in incapable of singing an up tempo song, when he tried HE FORGOT THE LYRICS!!!!!!!!!!! which is truly appaling and anyone who forgets the lyrics deserves to be THROWN OFF the show!!!! It is truly horrible that he forgot the lyrics to a Beatles song!! And he claimed that he grew up on that song?! He is so fake. He does not sing any songs that could be realesed today, he is not singing anything that is relevant to today. Not to mention the fact that he lived a very chramed life, does he even understand what "Imagine" means? The closest he knows of pain is summer break coming to an end.

Hey he can't help that he does that! He gotta breathe some way. But he does, I agree lick his lips alot.

huh?is he an asthmatic?

You guys are taking this to far. If you hate AI don't watch it instead of ruining it for others. If you don't like David you don't have to be jerks and make fun of him for a habbit he has. Btw his lips are probobly dry form singing and it's not that noticible when it's not all together. This is just ridiculously mean. David is so talented not to mention really cute. He has the total package. He is talented, cute, and amazingly humble.

Kind of funny in a sick and creepy sort of way. Whoever made this was probably visioning that tongue down her larynx. *retch!* I did count the lip-licking until someone probably saw this and told him to stop. Now i just fastforward through his performances. Way to go, david. (I tried counting the gasping, but i kept losing count.) He occasionaly sneaks in one or two good ones, though. It's funny when Ryan interviews him and he looks totally stonefaced, like "don't like the lips. don't lick the lips!"
