Please Welcome our New Writers!!!
Posted by djafan on Sunday, March 21, 2010
A big smile of welcome to our new Staff Writers Extraordinaire, Funny Girl, SandyBeaches, and Emilyluvsarchie!!
We look forward to each of their unique voices on The Voice, David Archuleta. Emily brings a much appreciated teen perspective, SandyBeaches, the refreshing culture from the land of Nova Scotia, and Funny Girl brings, uh….Funny Girl….well, let’s just say Funny Girl BRANGS it!
So give us a hand rolling out the red carpet for them!
We have the chance to turn the pages over
We can write what we want to write…
This time, we know we all can stand together
With the power to be powerful
Believing we can make it better.
This site is dedicated to David Archuleta, who we lovingly refer to as THE VOICE, and to his fans, who also have a voice. Do not worry about being eloquent. Everyone has something of value to say. If you speak with sincerity and passion, you speak with the tongue of angels.
This is a gathering of angels.
The Voice David Archuleta

welcome new staff writers – enjoy all the distinctive styles and varied backgrounds here. Looking forward to hearing from Emily’s viewpoint. Have little to no contact with teens since I’ve been retired (5yrs). Actually miss the interaction as they do help to keep you young & connected. The Voice is my only connection, lately.
Also wanted to thank those who’ve given info on Knoxville, Nashville & Memphis. Xaris, thanks for info on TN – plan to check it all out (won’t have time to visit VA this time, though). Emifriend (Bebe for forwarding her email) – wow! Thanks for all the insiders’ points. Love the colorful viewpoint.
Apologies to all here for taking away space from discussing David but we were getting alot of conflicting info about the area. Remembered that a couple of people here were from there and David does seem to love Nashville so…..

I had the pleasure of meeting FG, SB, and Emily (and her entire family) in real life, a happy coincidence since I have only been to a few concerts. Each is charming in her own way and each represents a unique voice in this wonderfully diverse fan community. *Joins in welcoming claps.* Write away ladies!

Welcome newest members of the team of writers!
I am so very proud to have you all aboard. I have yet to meet Emily and FG in real life but have spent time in chat. Emily is known for her lively descriptions she adds to her YouTube videos. FG is the Queen of the Hunkerdown! I have spent quite a bit of time with SB at shows in the Northeast. We bonded and celebrated in Manchester, NH and Providence, RI.
On another note, I brought this from last thread:
Twitter users alert!
I got a DM with a virus infected site link. It was from LauraHeartx3. I alerted her that she may have been hacked. My PC is fine, I use add ons in Firefox that caught the bad site.
Don’t click on links in Dm’s if they seem to “bait” you. Mine said ” You were mentioned in this blog” then the link was next.
And this from Djafan
A little reminder!
TODAY
WHAT: The Making of “Somos el Mundo”

So I said to my daughter, “Even though I was coughing all night I have to check in on the site because something may have happened in the night!”
She replied, ” Well what could have happened?” That is one of the usual family questions.
First of all, Angelica was ‘very’ funny last evening as she had written to me that she had another article underway. What a lovely surprise and my huge smile had a tear to go with it, the usual reaction when we are in one of David’s places.
Thank you to everyone for welcoming us into the writing circle. I am in great company with FG and Emi!!
In the last article I became competitive and asked if anyone could compete with the wonderful picture (De Luxe) of David that was from Angelica’s special collection? Well,the picture above is fantastic Angelica.
Cheers to the gathering of angels, it is a fine place to be.

Hats off to SandyBeaches, Funnygirl and Emilyluvsarchie! I’m thrilled to have you all aboard this awesome ride and am looking forward to all the different perspectives on our favorite subject. I’ve been a fan of SB’s musings since forever and was privileged to finally meet her last fall in Atlantic City where we became instant friends. 🙂 Emily has gifted us with her videos and it will be nice to get to know her better. Had a fun time with FunnyGirl last night in chat! Here’s to more good times!
Getting ready to watch Univision now…

Somos El Mundo Behind the Scenes
I watched the whole show in full screen, 10 inches from my face. Even though I do not understand Spanish, I was so moved. The producers and artists were present for the cause, egos left at the door. Their faces told the story of how proud they were to be selected to participate in this historical gathering for Haiti.Several times Michael Jackson’s name was spoken with such reverence.
I am sure his spirit was with them in the studio, watching over them. It shows how one life, lived for music, can affect the world. David was given a gift when he was invited to be a part of history for his culture.

Hi all! Thanks so much for the warm welcome, I’m very excited to be included here, what a wonderful group of people.I hope I have something of value to add! I’m on a little weekend trip with the family to an indoor water park, with friends. Lots of fun, but limited access to the internet!
*Waves to FG*, It was fun meeting you in Ann Arbor, you’re hilarious! Everything about that concert was fabulous, wasn’t it? Oh, and mom says “Hi!”.
Hi Sandybeaches,let’s hope we soon have more concerts so we can meet!
Emmegirl, I’m away for half a day and come back to a pic of David holding a baby? My 2 favorite things! Not fair, how am I supposed to go now and get on a water slide? Not fair at all! emily

I’m watching the special on Univision. ( I recorded it )
My take is that all the artists sang many parts in studio, then Emilio, Gloria and the other producers “chose” the “best” for each part, keeping in mind it was not about the artists, but about making Somos El Mundo the best it could be. The producers, who are experts and have an “ear” for the best vocals for each part, decided correctly I might add, that David Archuleta was one of the best and therefore even though not as well known in the Latina music scene, had three solos. I don’t think any of the Artists knew beforehand which, if any, of their parts would make the final version, IMO.
I think David could have sung the WHOLE song and made it as much a Classic as the first version 25 years ago or the current Spanish version. IMO, of course. I would love to hear David sing the whole song. What a gift that would be!

Oh Emily – the Ann Arbor concert…sigh….what a special gift it was. The odds of him coming to Ann Arbor! Are you from Michigan? I cannot remember. I can still remember, as clear as a bell, seeing his cheek bones vibrate and watching him leave the stage. At first I wasn’t gonna watch him go but then I changed my mind. It still hurts. BUT MOVE ON WE MUST! new year, new single, new CD, new stuff! BRING IT ON!!!

As I have said in another comment I have a bad cold and I have taken cough medicine which makes one sleepy.
I was feeling too out of it to get a phone book to find the number for a restaurant so that my travelling family could pick up dinner.
So, I decided to call information at 411.
The problem is that I called 911 and I was asked “What is yout emergency?”
They wouldn’t let me off of the phone until they had my full name, address, age and on and on. To be convinced that I was not being held in confinement I was told that they might make a visit.
The doorbell rang, the big dogs barked and the RCMP (police) were at the door.
I convinced them that I was OK even though they looked over my shoulder. I don’t think that I will continue with the cough medicine.
I won’t complain about my confinement (no concerts for months) anymore either. Everyone in my family is laughing at me though…I have an envelope from the RCMP looking for a pledge for crime stoppers and I wasn’t going to reply. I must find my cheque book!

David has been known to work Sundays when necessary…remember he had concerts on Sunday during the tours. David seems to be on a tight schedule now. Perhaps due to something brewing in the background about an overseas appearance??? Anyway, he is and always has been very focused on what he needs to do to get things done. No whining, no excuses.
David, hoping you have a very good & restful night’s sleep with sweet & happy dreams. Thank you for all you do and for who you are. Keep with you all our love, support & prayers always. Contigo siempre! We will be with you always! TAKE CARE!
