We have seen David sign thousands of autographs under the sun, all hot and sweaty. We have seen him sing in cold weather. We have seen him all worked up, listening for the first time to his single “Crush” on the radio. I have seen so much of David in the last few years that it would be impossible to list it all. His inner and physical beauty have increased, if that was even possible. We have always followed his artistic growth. So much so, that I feel I am part of the long way he has gone. We have been with him, we have protected him, we have raised our prayers for nothing to happen to him and David has always been able to weather the storm. And if there comes a time when he is not, he will learn. His faith and his family are the essence of his strength.
All of that learning will prepare him for what’s coming next: more storms, yes, but also more fans. And why is that? I wonder, why is David so magnetic, so attractive? Why is it that, after two years, he remains an important part of our lives? Maybe because there is truth in what Simon said when he heard him sing “Shop Around”. “When you’ve got it, you’ve got it”. What has David got?
Maybe, as I once wrote, David is full of signs that marked him from the very beginning. The most striking appeared on the season finale of “American Idol”. On the first song, he had a star on his chest. On the second one, he had an anchor on his back, and on the third one, he had a sense of peace and calmness for the accomplished work.
Our prince, our star, will travel the world, will only anchor whenever he wishes to, and then he will smile at us, calm, and we will be there, waiting for him, to ask him for a hug.
David has sown as much as he could. His character suggests that he will continue to do so, but it is also time to reap what was sown. His first pop CD, the Christmas CD, the promotions, the shows, the tours and the invitations he has been extended will be the foundations for what’s coming next.
The expectations for his second pop CD are huge, and that makes me wonder: Is it too much weight for his shoulders? But then I think to myself: this is the path he has chosen. Responsibility with a touch of responsibility, and some more responsibility on the side.
Taking control of his own life, being responsible for his own company… I don’t know if he has the last word on the choice of songs for the CD, but those who make the list will be sung by his glorious voice.
Then, no matter what, he will always carry the glory of triumph upon his shoulders.
David, if you need more support, there are thousands of fans that would gladly lend you their shoulders.
Here, on the other side of the world, in Argentina, I offer you my shoulders, my arms, my… my help, if you should need it.
I hope you’ll be a part of our lives for a long time, at least of mine. And if you ever come to Argentina, then I’ll tell you about the thesis I’m working on, which is rather serious.
