David Archuleta was one of the public figures booked to sit behind the desk and pick up phone from the callers during the recent "Hope for Haiti" concert. He didn`t make an on-stage live performance at the January 22 gig, but managed to deliver an impromptu performance backstage.
The runner-up of "American Idol" season 7 performed a rendition of Kurt Bestor`s "Prayer of the Children". After finishing the song, he urged fans to be involved in the relief effort, saying "Please help these kids. They`re going through a lot. And they need your help so just do anything you can and donate for these kids."
The footage of David Archuleta was outed by MTV after many of his die-hard fans begged Jim Cantiello to show David`s mini-concert the reporter previously mentioned on Twitter. Jim then asked fans to donate to the Haitian by sending a TwitPic of a cupcake to his Twitter page. "By Tuesday afternoon, a generous group of fans had raised $3,850 in mine and David Archuleta`s names," so the reporter said.
