Archuglow
Posted by thefunnygirl on Monday, March 22, 2010
There have been countless comments by fans and non-fans, both here and overseas, about the Archuglow. It seems that David glows, has an aura, or somehow reflects light. Others have said that he exudes a calming force, and like Mcfly has said “he is like Yoga.” He has won over DJs, talk show hosts, and reporters and made them say things like “you are so radiant” and “you have the most beautiful smile and skin I’ve ever seen” and “there is something so special about you” and “are you glowing?” The Manila airport security guard said “this kid’s pull is really different, it is like he glows.”
But even more than I love the passion in David I love the purity- the purity of spirit that just radiates from him like a soft light (and YES, I know what a corny fool I sound like, but I’ve met the kid, and I swear he actually GLOWS!)
Posted by Laura A. SnarkyArchies September 2008
When the Idol tour started last summer, and reports started coming in from fans about this glow, I was very skeptical. These fans were obviously excited to meet David, and were simply starstruck. More and more people started to “see” it. Were they seeing it because they expected to? I hated to think that David fans were in fact crazy, because I was one of them, and I was worried that these reports would be further evidence of David’s “cult-like” fans.
Then I met him.
It was outside, after dark in July 2008. I was really nervous knowing that he was coming down the line towards me. I couldn’t see very well when he was far away, but it seemed as though there was some commotion and I heard people talking about a glow. I thought “Oh come on!” and then he got closer to me. It looked as if a bug zapper was moving down the line of people. If others were not muttering about it I would have had myself committed that night. As he got closer, the calmer I became. As he stood there, right in front of me, I knew that I was in fact seeing something glowing. Was it just his radiant skin? What was this that I was seeing? Was I imagining things? Had the previous reports of it clouded my perception? I had the pleasure of seeing him again at Ford Day, where I was able to watch him interact with fans for quite a long time. The Archuglow was in full bloom.
Upon deciding to research this topic of a glow, or aura, I didn’t realize I’d be opening Pandora’s box. This is the stuff of a doctoral thesis. There is an abundance of reading material, both supportive and skeptical about this. Many of these references are spiritual in nature, while others address metaphysics, optics, math and science. An effort to define “it” has a very long history, and is rooted in both well-accepted scientific theory and non-traditional approaches. Both sides of this subject seem to agree that “it” exists, but the points of contention are exactly what “it” is (light/energy or the spiritual), where “it” comes from (science or the spiritual), and whether or not “it” is actually perceivable to the human eye. “It” has been called by a long list of names throughout history. Aura, astral body, chakra, halo, etheric body, Qi, energy, mandorla. All major world religions depict “it” in art and literature.
Without going to into extensive detail, and based upon personal experience only, I’m going to say that David absolutely has “it” and in spades. The picture above with his 1st band is just one example of the Archuglow. It would appear as though he has a spotlight on him, or that he swallowed a light bulb. There are many video examples that show the Archuglow. How much does lighting, and clothing color play into the glow? I’m not sure. What about the quality of the camera? I have no idea. All I know is that I have seen a lot of videos and photos and concert footage in my time and I have never seen anything like this. That proves nothing. My intent is not to prove anything.
This tribute video is a great example of glowy David at his finest, as are the lyrics.
“He’s got a light around him, and everywhere he goes a million dreams of love surround him everywhere.”
Abbra’s MGR from Stroudsburg has a stunning moment:
Please share your stories/pics/vids of the Archuglow.
Do you believe?

I am a believer.
The video of Stroudsburgh isn’t even close to what we all saw at the end of the last song. It was the best demonstration I could use for what seemed to be David being enveloped by the Divine then released back to earth as an angel who will sing another day.
When the lights went up I looked at people around me. They stood motionless, not wanting to leave. Finally as we filed out, everyone and I do mean everyone who had regained speech ( many had their hand over their mouth in awe)said ” Did you SEE what happened???”
I saw.
I believe in the Archuglow.

Great Article FG!
Unfortunately I have to rush out this morning so I will come back to it.
There’s no doubt in my mind David has a GLOW to him!
He had it when he descended that escalator at the Virgin Mega Store where I first met him. It was like a white apparition was descended that escalator.
In a dark, wet NYC alleyway where he was signing autographs at the PC Richards theater – he most definitely GLOWED!! It was fascinating watching him interact with everyone and how much everyone adored him.
For me he does have a spiritualness about him and a quiet and calming effect. Although I’m a mess as I’m “NEXT”, or approaching him. My mind goes totally blank. I am mush. Weak at the knees. Call it what you want I don’t think I’ll ever get it together in his presence!! haha

FG, Yes, I believe! He stands out in a crowd for sure,part of it for me is that he always seems so happy, and in the moment, that he just shines! And I love that you mentioned the calming effect he has on people. I’ve been fortunate enough to meet him several times and even have a few short conversations with him. I am always a nervous wreck anticipating the encounter, but as I approach him I calm down and can usually function fairly normally. (I then completely spaz afterwards.) He is, however easy to talk to, when there isn’t a a lot of pressure to keep the line moving. At the idol tour concerts, I took pictures instead of videos. I’m going to look through them when I get home for evidence of the Archuglow!

FG, “absolutely, on the money”. I have to lol with the bug zapper comment. When I first saw David at the Wilkes-Barre Idol tour signing autographs, in the bright blue sky and sunshine, I was thunderstruck by what I saw. Sheesh, it really is true I thought, he just glows. I was also struck by his incredible calm composure.
I can also back up Abrra’s comment a thousand percent. I was there in Stroudsburg, and I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. And just like she said, after OHN, I don’t think anyone wanted to leave, it was stunning, I’ll never get over that evening, it was the most special concert yet that I attended.

I, too, first saw the glow outside at the fences prior to the Idol show in Albany. It was a hot, summer afternoon with the sun shining, yet, visible rays of light beamed around David’s beautiful face…
Amazing is an understatement!
I was able to talk to him for a few minutes mostly to say “Thank you,” and then, was compelled to follow him down the line to speak to him once more at the end of the row.
I wasn’t the only one drawn in this fashion. Can’t imagine what he thought “seeing-double?”… or that there surely were a lot of “twins” for the show!

I like how she attributes “making up “archuwords” “, as a

I blissfully concur.
I already have a ‘David’ in my family, so DA is “DA” to me.
But it is no coincidence that (for me at least), when I see ‘DA’ I hear:
DA king, DA man, DA music, DA rhythm, DA smile, DA glow (bow to FG) …,

FG, I really enjoyed your article and the comments that have been shared. Thanks, all of you for sharing your experiences. I like to think what it must have been like to see what you saw.
DA glows. Perhaps it is because he chooses so consciously and assiduously to “connect”.
His hearts desire is to be a conduit, to draw us; not to himself so much, as to what it is that gives him joy.
Fine.
Work your hardest, DA. Sing your heart out. Get all rhythm-y and bluesy and funky, and romantic, and …. everything.
Somehow I’ll deal with it.

What a great article, well presented, a sane prestntation of what seems to be insane… I love the comments too..love the whole topic… I have never met or seen David in person but the glow seems apparent in so many of the pictures. I totally believe it. Here are some promises in the Bible for people who love walking the paths of rightuousness….
The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. Proverbs 4:8
He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Psalm 37:6
The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out. Proverbs 13:9
Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. Daniel 12:3
n the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16
Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear. Matthew 13:43
Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be completely lighted, as when the light of a lamp shines on you.”
Luke 11:36
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
2 Corinthians 4:5-7
14Do everything without complaining or arguing, 15so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe 16as you hold out[a] the word of life— Phillipians 214-15
and my personal favorite:
18 The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn,
shining ever brighter till the full light of day. Proverbs 4:18
More good things to come with David! I am so looking forward to meeting him. Thank you all for your precious stories because by them, I feel like I have met David already!

Great read FG, you are reading my mind girl. I like other fans have noticed this on photos as well. I first noticed his glow in a few concerts up close. I also have an interest in his aura and what appears to be possibly orbs that I have seen on a few video’s with him singing “Angels”. If you google religious people and orbs you might find it interesting.

Another fan’s perspective on the Archu-glow 😀
THIS is a fanstory! It was posted on FOD, April 1,2009
Yvette from Malaysia got to spend…sit down…the ENTIRE day with David back during his visit to her country. This included a photoshoot for Seventeen Magazine and radio interviews.
Just a taste of the love:
OH MY GOSH!!!!
And, WHOA, I never realized he was that… fair.
He was so, SO fair! Like, ‘Snow White’ fair! ‘Edward Cullen’ fair!
And… I didn’t know if it was my eyes playing tricks on me… but it was as if David’s skin was glowing. Literally.
It was so bright, compared to everyone else’s in the room.
He was so, so fair, and so, so radiant – like there was some sort of light source within him.
He was just… GLOWING!!!

It was aweswome!! lol. There is a lot of light shining from within him I think.(some of it could be the contrast of his dark hair w/his fair skin.) But what ever it is it’s beautiful to behold!

FG: Your whimsical writing style makes your articles so enjoyable to read, especially on this subject. I first heard about “the glow” when reading comments on David’s youtube performances during the Idol Tour but didn’t take it literally until I realized people were very serious. I assumed the light on David was a spotlight. Djafan pointed out to me that it was more than a spotlight. It took a while but one day, when I saw an outdoor picture of David, it hit me that there were no spotlights on him and he was still shining! And then I began to recognize it more and more. In addition, there’s a very strong almost magnetic-like pull from us to him. I can’t begin to explain these things but I have to admit that I find them very fascinating.

Yep, I’ve experienced it too. I took my teenage daughters and nieces to the idol tour in Las Vegas and stood back as they excitedly waited in line for him after the show. They were all animated and giggly and then he approached them and it was like he cast a spell on them–they just all stood there smiling and silent, staring as if in a trance at this sweet humble guy. He spoke quietly but confidently to them, asking them questions, but it was like they were frozen or something, so I stepped forward, hoping to ease the awkwardness of the moment and help the girls out–unfortunately, I found myself swallowed up in that same glowing “force field”. It took me so by surprise, that I froze too. It literally took my breath away! There was just such a warmth and peace that he physically exuded, you almost didn’t want to speak for fear it would break the moment.
Almost a year later, I attended his solo concert in SLC with my college-age daughter. As he bounded onto the stage, she turned to me and exclaimed, “Mom, he just sparkles!” And he truly did! He was like a warm glowing fire on a cold night.
Then, this November we attended his Christmas concert in SLC. As so many have mentioned, the “glow” was in full force that night! My husband (a true eye-rolling non-fan) insisted upon accompanying us. As we left the concert, my husband, who is never at a loss for words was very quiet. As we reached our car, he quietly said, “I think I get it now”.

FG….I believe.
My first experience in Pomona, I thought he was radiant but it was indoors with lots of lighting.
But in Del Mar it was outdoors with the light of the sky and he just looked so bright. I also looked into aura’s, orbs, landed up reading about crystal children. It’s all out there, scientific explanations and spiritual explanations, but the calm you feel in his presence is uncanny and I attribute that to a spiritual presence. I remember Paula saying you have this aura about you…she was right.
My daughter took this in Del Mar. It’s a little blury, but David is bright nonetheless.

There is a beautiful song that was written for the young people in the LDS (Mormon)church a few years ago. It seems to capture what so many feel about David’s ability to “shine”. The lyrics are beautiful, but combined with the music, it really is moving. I wish I could find a link to the song, but here are the words:
Someone Needs Your Star
(Jenny Phillips/Tyler Castleton)
Do you know
That God designed you to glow?
And you hold
The Father’s promise in your soul.
You may be just one light in the sky,
But you are enough
To light up a darkened night.
Someone needs your star,
Someone needs the light you have inside.
So rise up high,
You were meant to shine
And never hide.
Spread your good works wide and far,
Someone needs your star.
Someone needs
One simple light to bring them hope.
You may feel small,
But you hold more goodness than you know.
Desperately someone’s reaching to find
A beacon of strength
That they can hold on to tonight.
Someone needs your star,
Someone needs the light you have inside.
So rise up high,
You were meant to shine
And never hide.
Spread your good works wide and far,
Someone needs your star.

I enjoy all the articles here (Thank you!), and I find myself nodding yes, yes, yes, as I read this and all the comments that follow. I apologize in advance for the long post, but, since you asked, it is the perfect opportunity for me to share a lovely glow-related incident I witnessed in Rexburg, Idaho, when I attended the VIP and concert there.
The large university venue sold out in minutes, but there were only 20 people at the VIP, a matter of student budget constraints I think. I identified only two students for sure. Almost half of the group included a fun contingent of familiar and devoted David fans from Utah. I sat next to another woman, also from Utah, who had come alone. As we visited, she admitted that she had been to too many VIP’s to count. This was probably true, as David greeted her by her name when he saw her.
BYU-Idaho’s Food Service provided the fare for this event. It was substantial, even pretty; and there was a female student employee tending to everything. She was efficient and pleasant but quite shy. I heard someone ask her if she was going to the concert. She sighed and said she was a fan but really needed to work.
When David finally arrived, he popped in like any other happy guest who had just joined the party. He spotted the food, quickly acknowledged all of us, and immediately made a beeline for the table, walking its length to see what he wanted to try. The student worker literally froze in place as David approached her. He stuck out his hand and said (in that voice), “Hello, I’m David. What’s your name?”
Her face was flushed and her answer was barely audible, but David continued to coax her into the conversation while he sampled the goodies. He asked about some of the food, made a joke about the cream puffs looking like miniature Idaho potatoes, complimented her on the table arrangement, thanked her for her work, etc., etc. We all watched as she was literally enveloped by the light. Before David came back to the line for photos, his “glow” was reflected in that young woman’s face. I looked around the room and realized that, to a person, we were all grinning like Cheshire cats.
Put David anywhere and watch the glow grow.

FG,
Love the way you wrote this article with your own experiences but kept it objective too, so that the reader is free to draw their own conclusions. This has been a subject much speculated about and the accounts are so similar, there must be something to it.
BTW, Kaycee, I love your very vivid, fascinating post. In fact I have enjoyed all the comments so far on this thread from those who have experienced this phenomenon.
I have my own take on the subject. I have seen David in person in bright sunlight, on an overcast rainy day, at night and indoors. No matter the lighting, there has always been a radiance seen and felt. I think part of it is purely physical. Attractiveness is common enough but the kind of beauty David possesses is very rare. The combination, as someone pointed out above, of his black hair and eyelashes, contrasted against that porcelain skin is a definite factor in the “archuglow.”
But there is something more. David, by his own admission, and all reports, works very hard to have the Spirit with him. He is not divine nor is he deity, but he has that exalted loving Presence with him and it is something that can be felt. It is a feeling of peace and calm and unconditional love we all are the recipients of, whether we know it or not. David is the conduit for that love and I think the message we can take from it is that it is available to us all, but we have to invite it and strive, as he does, to be worthy of it.

There are a few non-ODD-ers that see it too. My coworker, an old soul herself, didn’t watch his season, but after watching vids I sent her was quite sure he is a “pure soul, with the sweetest voice” and my mom after Top 24 week said “he has the rare ability to offer a soul-to-soul connection, in an instant, and thru the TV screen” and then she came to Ann Arbor with me and saw him and cried. My dad suffers thru my vids and says “why does it feel like he’s singing just to me?” They don’t say the word glow, but that’s what they are feeling – pure, soul, connection. Yep.
I wish my husband would open himself, but he thinks he’s too cool to like a 19 year old. I almost got him to the Ann Arbor show. My fear is that he’ll go and not get it. That would suck lemons. Oh well. que sera, sera

The minute I got the google alert, off to the site I went(even with 3 grandkids here) and bought my tickets and extras even, to entice others to go with me. Been texting and tweeting all the Utah Archies I know to see who wants to go with me. I know it is only two songs, but not gonna miss it!!! Missed the AI tour and have regretted it ever since. And I will get to see his hair that his momma loves today!! Anyone who wants to come to Utah, my home is open to you to stay anytime.

Shawna – Any chance of a doing a cellcast of David performing at halftime on April 9 for those of us who can only wish we were in Utah?? You get to see his hair! You get to hear the Voice! You get to see the Archuglow! Isn’t seeing David live the best thing ever? You are one lucky girl to see him live even for a couple of songs…
I miss David. I miss tour, but not the ticket buying stress. I miss meeting David fans who actually understand why I’m missing David.
I’ve seen David a few times and absolutely agree he has an inner glow. At first I thought it was just his perfect skin (from drinking all that water), but that’s not it. One of the times I saw him was at the radio station before the Tempe concert on his solo tour. We were inside under fluorescent lighting but if you look at the videos and pictures his face is glowing and all the other people’s faces aren’t. We were all in the same lighting, but only David has that beautiful spirit glowing from inside. I get total mush brain when I stand next to him and can’t think of anything to say, but he does radiate calm and so much happiness.
Oh, by the way, I lurk here all the time and enjoy all the articles and all your comments and great photos! Keep it up!

Thanks to Archugeezer @ #21 for reminding me of that great night in Rexburg. I sat next to an elderly couple who promptly told me the only reason they came to see David was because they had season tickets to the venue. They seemed a bit stuffy, and I wondered if David would work his magic there.
By the time David was singing ZG, my neighbor was jumping right along with the rest of us. After OHN she had tears running down her cheeks. She was relunctant to leave the auditorium, happy to bask in the aura that David had shared.

Hey everyone,
It’s late and I haven’t read all the comments but I wanted to comment real quick even though I’m new. I love the video “She’s got a Way…” It kind of does something to my heart watching it. A friend of mine made this video and one of the pictures she used is mine. I have to pause on that picture and just absorb the memory of it. Another friend of mine took the picture with my camera. I’m the one David is looking at and smiling at in the pic. Knowing that really does heal me for some reason. It’s funny because I was so stunned at the time, I only vaguely remembered him smiling at me. I asked my friend afterward if he had reacted well to what I had said because for some strange reason I missed it. Her words were “Oh yeah, he reacted well. Whatever you said, he liked it! I got a picture of it.” It wasn’t until I got home that night from the Am. Idol concert that I was able to look at
the it and WOW! I was floored! I felt all warm and fuzzy inside, lol, I actually broke down and cried. I mean, I balled.
I feel very strongly that what David radiates so well is God’s love for people. I’m assuming that he is able to do that because of his relationship to God. Combine that with the fact that he is probably the most beautiful person ever created and you have the “glow”….Just my take. Thanks for this article and for posting that video!!

In the xfactor video at the 1:30 mark you can see Paula looking down at the monitor on the desktop in front of her. He has her sucked in, she’s caught, she can’t get out. At 1:44 she is swaying back and forth, her hand is up to her face and she’s in another world. Finally at about 1:50 she looks up, reluctantly drags herself back to the real world.

Song: “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” by Aerosmith
Verdict: I Don’t Miss Your Voice
Aaron powered through his performance and his voice held up pretty well, all things considered. My favorite moment was the end of the bridge, where his “end of tiiiiiiiiime” power note morphed into “tiiiiiii-ouch!” Actually, scratch that. My favorite moment was when Ryan Seacrest called Aaron “David Archuleta.” The name is Countryleta, Seacrest, and you’re not allowed to call him that until he stops singing like a wheezing goat! Don’t you dare soil the name of ArchuAwesome!

Brought this over from Archuleta Fanscene by kizzi
My granddaughter was studying Science last Wednesday with her iPod playing. I glance over and she has doodled in the margins of her notes:
“Dabert Archustein” and “Alvid Einleta”
I laugh and point to her doodling. She paused her iPod and grinned and says she does that a lot with people she is studying, making a combination of David’s name and the other “famous” person. We both laugh.
I tease her and tell her I can’t see David as a topic of comparison with Albert Einstein – different fields of endeavor, different characters, just different and would be more a study of contrasts rather than comparisons.
She wordlessly directs me with her finger, first crooked at me in a “come here” gesture and then points down at her study page at a quote attributed to Einstein…
“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
…and then says, “That’s David, Grandma. He lives every day as if it were a miracle.”

From my Ann Arbor recap in case you didn’t see it way back when. It is just a part of it, the short poem popped into my head while I was writing and thinking about Ann Arbor:
“He moves me to feel the full glory of all that is good. The last two songs, Ave Maria, and O Holy Night brought the whole place to tears and standing ovations. I hope he felt our love. If only for a moment I could give him back a small fragment of what he has given me, I would be so grateful. As the last song came to a close, I felt as though I had been sucker-punched right in the gut. I was determined to watch him leave the stage, although I knew it would break my heart, as it always does. I never want him to go. It is so very sad. The moment is bittersweet. I have total joy from the show, my heart and spirit full to bursting, but at the same time I am undone and broken. I caught one last glimpse of him as the door closed behind him. Goodbye David. You are fantastic. And I love you.
Some people are born to sing,
and some are born to listen.
I gaze upon your face and
your eyes as they glisten.
Your voice fills the hall
as my soul is enchanted.
You are a pure joy, a wish
that was granted.”

FG, I love, love, love your very well written article. I also have experienced David’s “Glow”. Many times. He does shine from within. I’m sure he heard the comments at the barricades and VIP’s about his “Glow” and my guess is he’s been told he “glows” since he was a very young boy. Look at the pics of him as a little boy and you’ll see what I mean. My guess is he never really paid attention to those comments as he was growing up, until now. He has to believe it now since just about everyone who sees him and is open to him and what he’s about, can see the glowing light emanating from him. It’s a rare phenomenon, but then David is a rare human being.
This is what I find interesting and somewhat perplexing…in one breath I can describe David as a beautiful young man who glows with of The Spirit of God. Then in the next breath I can describe David as a gorgeous, sensual man with who can, just with his Archugaze, render his female fans completely useless and speechless. That he is BOTH is a VERY powerful combination very few men have. He is an enigma. He totally confuses me.
On another note..seems Ryan Seacrest must really be missing David. Jus’ sayin’. 😉

Hi everybody. I just thought I’d stop by to say hello to all of you fine folks. This site has the feel of a familiar,comfortable diner, where friends and neighbors meet and share what’s on their minds.
I’ve been amused by the comparisons of Aaron Kelly to David. Why are they doing that to this nice kid? David needs to be compared to people like Elvis, Sinatra, and Nat King Cole. David is getting more press this year on AI than last, when he was the “reigning” runner-up. These lightweight “singers” this year should thank their lucky stars that David decided to audition for season 7 and not this year.The producers are also fortunate that they have a real competition this year,albeit one of mediocrity.
Anyway, I hope everyone here is fine,and I look forward to seeing you on the upcoming tour,which should be,to quote Simon,a “humdinger”
