Check out NBC on Sunday at 4 p.m. and you’re likely to see a couple of famliar faces.
Season two Idol Ruben Studdard and season seven runner-up David Archuleta will be musical guests on Skate for the Heart.
This is the third annual Skate for the Heart, mixing stars of skating and music with a message about living a heart-healthy lifesytle.
The show runs form 4 to 6 p.m., and Ruben will be performing two songs, according to his website.
Thanks to David’s website and the fact that the show was pre-taped, we know he’ll be singing “My Kind of Perfect,” one of the best tracks off his new album.
David’s still looking for a hit single to jumpstart interest in “The Other Side of Down,” which disappeared from the Billboard 200 in the blink of an eye despite being, in my mind, better than his first post-Idol album.
But he’s been getting decent exposure lately, also appearing on FOX’s New Year’s Eve special and performing in front of thousands last month at the Children’s Medical Center Holiday Parade in Dallas.
Ruben released “Love Is,” a collection of love songs, about two years ago and spent part of 2010 touring with Clay Aiken.
He’s now working on a new album. Last week, he was tweeting about spending all week in the studio and asking Twitter followers for suggestions of songs he could cover on his upcoming CD.
As for Skate for the Heart, the show will be hosted by Peggy Fleming, whose dad died of a heart attack one week before the won the Olympic gold medal in 1968. Her sister also recently died of heart disease.
Other skaters on hand will include Johnny Weir, Sasha Cohen, Jeremy Abbott, Rachael Flatt and bronze medalist Joannie Rochette, who was forced to perform in the 2010 Olympics just after her mother died of a heart attack.
Now, a teaser for the show, courtesy of davidarchuleta.com — video of his “My Kind of Perfect” performance. David sounds great.

“The Other Side of Down” by David Archuleta is a fantastic album!! He co-wrote 10 of the 12 songs and to me that makes the album more special. If you haven’t bought the album, go get it because it is amazing!!
I agree with the comment above, The Other Side Of Down by David Archuleta is like no other. Songs full of hope with that incomparable voice. Support David Archuleta and buy his album!
Thanks for the article, Mark. Looking forward to seeing & hearing David today. And yes, his album is great! Too bad the label didn’t see fit to promote it at all.
The incredible acappella group Straight No Chaser is also performing on this show. That’s why I’ll be watching it. Those 10 guys are soooooo talented!!
As usual, David Archuleta is always a pleasure to see and hear. What a velvet voice he has! I’m surprised that a television series or show hasn’t snatched him up. I’ve been a fan ever since Idol and I will continue to be a fan. More! More!
