Fashion Notes: Chris Brown’s Bow Tie Owns Twitter, But Is David Archuleta’s Better?

Chris Brown on Larry King Live

Chris Brown on Larry King Live

By now, we’ve all seen the interview. Chris Brown sat down for a televised interview for the first time since assaulting Rihanna in February last night on Larry King Live. We all watched with the hopes of coming to understand his actions and what went on that night, and to hear exactly what he was going to do to put himself in a more positive light.

For the most part, we walked away with few revelations, but many, many laughs thanks to Twitter and Brown’s choice to accessorize with a dinky baby blue bow tie. Could this have been his plan all along? Distract us from the real story of uncontrolled anger and a relationship struggling to survive through media scrutiny and court orders by wearing undeniably chat-worthy attire? Good job, Chris! You’re an evil genius!

As the hashtag “ChrisBrownsbowtie” continues to sit on top of Twitter’s trending topics, we wondered: can any of our other favorite male singers make the simple accessory such a phenomenon? Cue the lovely David Archuleta fans at Snarky Archies.

Behold! David’s gray silk bow tie so mesmerizing, it should be front page news. Paired with his yellow shirt and white sweater, the look totally dwarfs Chris Breezy’s all-blue ensemble.

All you tweeters, let your bow tie jokes fly, but the mean piece of neck-wear does its job well. It makes Archie look like an irresistible piece of man candy, and it makes Breezy’s interview filled with question dodging worth watching.

    Whether it be his gray silk bow tie, or his skinny ties, David Archuleta rules the tie debate.

  2. Meghan says:

    Theyre all a bit silly but these young men look nice.

  3. pastel says:

    David Archuleta and all ties….a match made in heaven. Thumbs up for David.

  4. Lisa says:

    Haha. David owns the bowtie competition. Although nice job CB of distracting viewers using a puny baby blue bowtie.

  5. someone says:

    that blue bow tie is all sorts of wrong…

  6. --bianca says:

    You make me happy! And kudos to Snarky Archies too!

  7. David Archuleta ties for the world! :D <3 He looks the best in them all!

  8. ME! says:

    Of course David Archuleta looks 100% better! in every single aspect. David not only looks AWESOME with everything he wears, but he also behaves AWESOME, like a true gentleman, all the time! He is definitely a class act. There is nothing more elegant, attractive, beautiful than a real gentleman. David Archuleta shouldn’t be compared to anybody; he is one of a kind! even when talking about fashion. He is the best!

    • China80 says:

      ME, totally agree with you. David Archuleta is one of a kind. He is a TRUE gentleman, a BEAUTIFUL human being, an INCREDITABLE son, brother and friend. He is also an AMAZING singer/performer with a HEAVENLY voice!! Artistically he is in a Genre on his own. Personally David Archuleta is in a class of his own!! To compare David to anyone would be ludicrous!!!!!

    • princess says:

      lol yeah right

  9. Archie's girl says:

    David Archuleta wins, for suree <3 he is the most amazing guy ever. he loooks good in anything <3 :)

  10. Emmmmily(: says:

    awww david archuletaaaaaaaaa for sureeeeee :)

  11. tiffany says:

    chris is sooooooooo sexy and you need to leave him alone bc he was nervous on the interview just like you would be. him and rhianna geting back together when the judge remove the restraining order then the world will forgive him bc they see how good he is with her again.

  12. unbelievable says:

    Wow Tiffany -so if CB beat you it would be ok and you would take him back????? That is about the saddest thing I’ve seen all day. and I should forgive him because he was nervous doing an interview -don’t think so.

    Anyway, David Archuleta rocks the bowtie and everything else he touches. He is a class act through and through. Thank you Neon Limelight for always mentioning David in a psoitive light (you see the awesomeness that he is!!!)

  13. somebody says:

    David with ties..ruled!!! :D

  14. jane says:

    David is so adorableeee!! I am scared of Chris…

  15. jess says:

    yup. david looks good in anything.

  16. gretchen says:

    David wins hands down :D
    lol <3

  17. Ruscha says:

    Chris Brown thumbs down. David looks like the total f-g he is

  18. Kaitie says:

    No contest here. David looks and behaves like a gentleman.

  19. Tracy says:

    David Archuleta for sure wins best tie picture. Athough that is not the greatest picture of him he is still the winner in more ways then one. He’s a class act, the definition of what a REAL MAN is!

  20. GreatMedia says:

    David Archuleta once again setting trends.

    Too bad for him he didn’t beat any girl, so he doesn’t get to be interviewed by Larry King on national TV.

  21. palm says:

    David could paste a bowtie in the middle of his forehead and still look fantastic…..and the thought of anyone having the need to get a restraining order against him???? hahahahaha Never in one million years!

  22. pam05 says:

    David looks fabulous in anything, I wonder what he’ll wear at the Alma Awards? Tune in and find out “-)

  23. Diana says:

    Psh David totally rocks this tie! He looks so handsome!Glad hes my age lol

  24. Pascalee says:

    Chris Brown who? David Archuleta is the man!! David would be uncomfortable with the comparison, though. He’s not one to compete with others. Definitely a classy guy! LOVE. HIM. And I love your love for David, Neon Limelight!

    • Alyson says:

      Chris Brown. You know the guy whose song David song on American Idol. Not well neither might I add. He is an asshole and abuser but he has more hits figuratively and literally than precious Archuleta anyday.

      • uh huh says:

        You are correct -Chris Brown has more HITS -that’s why he should be in jail. His “talent” is manufactured and auto-tuned. Have you heard him live? I did in NYC -he can’t sing. Amazingly enough David Archuleta came on right before Brown and David was awesome! David rules with ties, talent, and personality.

  25. Sam says:

    AH, DAVID RULES!!! HE’S GORGEOUS, INSIDE & OUT!

  26. TrudyFOD says:

    Love David Archuleta…and his tie pic is amazing! David Archuleta is a beautiful person inside and out…come on…you can’t say the same about Chris. David is just gorgeous!

  27. Becca says:

    David by far, beautiful inside and outside.

    Chris, looks nice outside but the insides are rotten. No Bow-tie can hide that factor.

    Is that what it takes to get on Larry King? Beat women up and make excuses. Once a women beater, always one.

  28. Kitson says:

    Chris Brown seems to be using the bow tie and baby blue sweater to appear more young and innocent. Nobody is being fooled. David Archuleta IS young and innocent. No pretending required. The bow tie absolutely works better on him.

  29. Mhel says:

    David archuleta…no doubt abt it.
    He is just beautiful inside and out and oh my, he did a good job with the song “with you” vocally wise on idol.better than the orig although cb can dance hip hop tee hee!

    Go david! Thanks neon!!!

  30. goboywonder says:

    Love Chris and am praying that he gets the help he needs to resolve issues without violence. Love, Love David and he is rocking that bowtie. Please vote for him at tbwe.net so he can get a fashion spread.

  31. LMS says:

    Not a fan of either bowtie but David wins at life. He is the sweetest most talented kid in the universe while Chris Brown is a punk who belongs in jail.

  32. Amy(ahecht25) says:

    Seriously……….David Archuleta could be wearing a potato sack and look better than Chris Brown any day. It’s not the clothes that make the man…just sayin.

  33. Chellsy says:

    Chris is sexier than David,and the bow tie is better…everyone is just on davids side because of what Chris did to his X!!

    • Chris says:

      no way, didn’t like him before he beat up on Rhianna, ain’t gonna change my mind about it now!

    • angelofdja says:

      To set you on the correct path…myself, I never cared for Chris or his singing. I heard him live. Sorry to say, he was NOT good. On the flip side, David can sing WITHOUT any accompaning instruments, and seriously blow-you-away with his VOICE! Best bow tie? Hands down: ARCHULETA! :-)

  34. Chris says:

    Why should I have sympathy for CB, that only thing I felt sorry for him about wasz that hideous bowtie his momma made him wear! dang, he wasn’t too shy and embarrassed when he beat on Rhianna, no way am I falling for his bull!

  35. Pixiechic says:

    David Archuleta FTW!!!! Go, Snarky Archies!!!

  36. ewww says:

    What are these kids thinking wearing those ugly ties? They need to fire their stylists, or was it mom???

  37. Ashley says:

    David looks adorable in the bow tie. <3

  38. Twee says:

    David looks fantastic in anything! Archuleta FTW!! Thanks Neon Limelight for posting this. David is the most gracious and most incredible human being. LOVE HIM <3

  39. Gracie says:

    David is gorgeous inside and out. Chris has a life long battle with violence. He will beat women again if something to stop him doesn’t happen. Trust me. Violence is addiction. It doesn’t matter what to wear when you are in chaos inside.

  40. CARLA says:

    David Arrrrrchuleta :)

  41. FG says:

    “an irresistable piece of mancandy” ROTFL! David rocks! :0

  42. archi says:

    No doubt, David A looks cool and happy.

  43. lian says:

    oh yeah,david archuletaaaaaa

  44. imrose says:

    Really there is no contest. Chris Brown and David Archuleta are not even in the same league. Chris Brown has shown some pretty despicable behavior and for anyone to defend that is absurd.

    David Archuleta, although human and I am sure not perfect (even though some would argue that point), has shown behavior worthy of praise. He is a gentleman through and through and his care of how he treats others is to be emulated.

    Bow tie-wise, David’s is fresh looking; Chris’s not so much and yeah I wonder if he was using that “getup” to sweeten’ up his image.

    As far as their vocal abilities, well David Archuleta can actually sing acapella and create his own music as anyone who has heard him live can attest to. I have not heard Chris live but have heard he doesn’t have that ability.

    Here’s hoping Chris Brown gets the help he needs and that Rihanna stays clear as this is something he has to do for himself.

  45. Breezy Baby says:

    CHRIS FOR THE WIN. He is so sexxi!

  46. Nemo says:

    David Archuleta and his bowtie ROCK can’t wait for his Christmas album!!!

  47. alaska_chick says:

    david’s bow tie, how hot is that? david looks and acts like the real gentlemen. Love him, can’t wait for his x-mas album. I haven’t preordered yet, but i’m planning to buy tons and gift it once i get paid this week. LOL! Oh btw, I went to his concert at the state fair and it was amazing, he’s definitetly destined for stardom!

  48. Rose says:

    David definitely wins on the bowtie vote. But he’s PPPUUUUURRRRRRRRRRfect in the long skinny tie. That should be David’s look!! (ya, I know its spelled “perfect” but I like this spelling)

  49. archieluverFOD says:

    David looks just adorable in that bow tie :D I can’t believe Chris Brown thought he could pull that off!!! David looks better well shame on him for stealing David’s style (and for all of his behavior in the past few months!!!!) I can’t believe he wanted people to talk about his outfit more than his behavior!! well at least that tells us that he knows it is inappropriate!! I am so glad David is such a great person and he looks sweet and innocent (which Chris Brown would look neither sweet nor innocent even dressed up as a giant teddy bear)

  50. pane09 says:

    David Archuleta for the sure. He looks adorable wearing a bow tie.
    No question!!!! David Archuleta always looks good in anything he wears.

  51. Nadia says:

    David Archuleta. Duh. I’ve never liked Chris, even before that incident.

  52. Trudy says:

    Love David Archuleta’s tie! the grey silk is really nice! And of course David is just gorgeous.

  53. tiffany says:

    i cant stand people like you bc you all think that chris is bad bc he made a mistake. you all better pray you dont fall down bc then you will know how it feels to have the world judge you when only god can. chris can sing live. i been to 5 of his concerts and he made me cry bc his voice is so good. and he give a good show by singing and dancing. he is the next big entertainer not just a boring singer nobody cares about. i saw when he tried to sing with you and he sound terrible hurting my baby chris song like that.chris will go down in history like mj bc he had hard times to but he overcome them. i love you chirs!!!!!!!! these haters scared!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Anonymous says:

      yup your right.only god can judge right or wrongs of his people.But ya know i sure hope that Chris goes to Jail for beating up his own GF.David is perfect Gentleman.really i don’t think that I have ever heard or met any guy as Amazing as David.the photo of David.not his best.I will agree on that.But personality-wise.I would strongly agree that David is a better judgment of Character.

    • abe says:

      David can sing anything. Can Chris sing David’s Crush or You Can or Works for Me? David would never even curse, like B word or F word that everyone does, not just beating women. Do you know how hard to keep oneself so unaffected and clean?

  54. Stacey-Anne says:

    David Archuleta is way better no question about it! He is adorable in ANYTHING he wears and is way more talented than Chris Brown!

  55. archie says:

    David <3 sorry but david wins :D

  56. Nights says:

    *with head down and quiet voice* Chris..FTW.. Please noone attack me.

  57. I Love You David Archuleta!

  58. pane09 says:

    David of course!!! He is gorgeous he is good in anything bow tie, skinny tie, what ever!!!!
    Chris is too matchy-matchy!!! Even baby blue won’t make him look as inocent as a baby LOL!!!!

  59. romantismo says:

    Can we use Twitter for educational activities?

  60. Someonewhoknows says:

    To be completely honest, I’m not sure what you people see. That silver bowtie with that outfit is horrible, and its a clip on at that. Seriously if you’re going to wear a bowtie, at least tie it yourself. its not supposed to look perfectly tied. Now i won’t condone anything chris brown has done or really that outfit at all, but i have to give props in that I can tell that bowtie is not a clip on, its pretty obvious. And although the color choices and outfit might not be the best, props on wearing a real bowtie.
