The second term inauguration of Utah Governor Jon Huntsman Jr was kicked off with the singing of the national anthem by Utah's own David Archuleta. Watch:
In May 2008, David Archuletta became the runner-up on the seventh season of American Idol receiving 44 percent of over 97 million votes. Archuleta's first single "Crush" was released in August 2008; his self-titled debut album was released in November 2008.
David is such a pop culture phenomena. He recently won "Utahn of the Year 2008" by television station KSL.
