Ilang oras matapos ang back-to-back concert nina David Archuleta at David Cook noong May 16, 2009, sa SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds, nagpahiwatig ng pasasalamat ang first runner-up ng American Idol season 7 na si David Archuleta sa pamamagitan ng kanyang video blog na makikita sa YouTube. 

Makikita sa video na halos kadarating lang niya sa kanilang hotel matapos ang concert nang ginawa niya ito. Ang bungad ni David, "It was unbelievable to see all the people there [were] so incredible. I couldn't believe how many people came to see the show, and just want to say thank you so much to the fans who came, all the Filipino fans."

Makikita sa kanyang official webpage sa YouTube na bihira lang gumawa ng video blog ang international singer para ipakita ang pasasalamat nito sa kanyang mga fans. At mapapansin din kung gaano siya nagulat sa dami ng taong dumating para suportahan sila ng American Idol winner na si David Cook, at kung gaano rin siya kalungkot na aalis na siya sa Pilipinas.

Ang sabi ng 18-year-old singer-songwriter, "Both David Cook and I appreciate it so much...Just want to thank you guys just for both of us. I can't say salamat enough, we will never forget this, that's for sure. I don't know how to describe it, there are just thousand and thousands of people there. See, you, guys...support means a lot to us."

Nagkaroon din sila ng TV guesting sa ilang shows ng GMA-7 tulad ng SiS, Eat Bulaga, 24 Oras at ibang special appearances sa SM malls, pati na rin sa nakaraang victory party ni Manny Pacquiao na ginanap sa noong May 14, para i-promote ang nasabing concert. "It's been a great time, it's been crazy here. I want also to thank all the other international fans, who'd been showing support in Singapore, Malaysia, U.K., and here  in the Philippines," dagdag pa niya.

Samantala, during the actual concert, kapansin-pansing hindi sila nag-perform ni David Cook sa stage nang sabay, maliban noong tinawag siya ni Cook para magpasalamat. Hindi tuloy maiwasang isipin ng iba kung may issue ba ang dalawang David.

Unang nag-perform si David Archuleta at kinanta nito ang ilang songs niya noong contestant pa lamang siya sa American Idol at sikat na singles niya sa debut album niya tulad ng "Stand by Me," "Angels," "Crush," "Touch my Hand," at marami pang iba.

Si David Cook naman ay binirit ang first single sa kanyang album na "Light On," ang Mariah-Carey remake na "Always Be My Baby," "The World I Know," at iba pa.

    of course mataas talaga ang rating nyan. you know i really love international artist kasi they remain humble walang yabang like Taylor Swift she is number singer in USA her record is number one in the bill board and her concert is sold out in one minute. and she is so gorgeous. that's why Oprah ask her what she can advice to the aspiring rising star today. she gives an advice to them exept LANG LANG always kept their feet on the ground not to changed

    The concert called back to back kasi yun ang napag-usapan sa contract bet. producers at ng mga artists DA amp; DC Di sila nag perform na dalawa together has nothing to do w/kasi si Cook ang winner at si DA ang runner up. Ang gusto ng dalawa ay separate, back to back para nga makanta nila ang mga songs nila sa album nila at the same time promotion. AI Season 7 is so over, wala na sila sa competition. Parehong magaling ang dalawa, magkaibang style at genre sa music, ang isa Rock ang isa naman ay Ramp;B/POP. BTW, may nagsabi dito DA is 19 na, he jus tturnes 18 last Dec. so talagang bata pa siya at in the future imagine mas lalu pang gaganda ang boses niya at lalung gagaling in yrs. to come. This kid is so talented, songwirter, co writer siya ng ALTNOYcan play piano, guitar etc.. great voice siyang nga ang best singer ng AI7 like what the judges claimed. Sorry napahaba : this is DA arcticle kaya nilubos lubos ko na ang comment ko

    singing together wasn't in their contract, i guess.. iba bayad siguro pag nag duet sila. but seeing them kahit separately was enough. they were so great. my friends and i had a blast. sobrang gwapo ni cook at sobrang cte si archie :-
