Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that
person, a beautiful thing. ~ Mother Teresa
At a concert, long before David comes out on to the stage, we wait with anticipation to see his radiant face, to catch a glimpse of his smile. We feel the gift that he is freely giving us each time we see him. When we catch sight of David’s smiling face, we are happy because the signal is sent that communicates to us that, ‘all-is-well’. Like the waves on the ocean, our excitement rises with the sight of his smile and that is one of the connections, besides his voice, we love to experience.
A recent quote by Tracewillow: “I’m from Malaysia, half a world away as Abrra says, but I hear David, get David, see David…When he ran unto the stage, the feeling that hit me real hard then, at the very first sight of him, was that the sun had come out, even though it was quite bright at the time.”
David’s smile turns the day into something natural and fun, giving an instant rush of happiness and calmness that reminds us that the day has truly been worthwhile. It may seem absurd to the casual reader, but we smile back at David during his vlog, we smile continuously while he is in our presence and even when we read his tweets. Sometimes in an evening when we are in chat on The Voice Unplugged, there is a sudden stillness when no one is writing, no one is chatting. As David is singing, we are sitting back and listening with a certain peacefulness that is understood throughout the chat community. When the Christmas Carols are played in July, we listen and keep on smiling. David brings out the common love that we share and the compassion and thoughtfulness for other fans and friends.
In a scientific look at the makeup of a smile, psychologist Robert Zajonc’s scientific research explains a fact that has been well-known throughout the ages. He says that smiling leads to physiological changes in the brain, actually cooling the blood in the face, which in turn gives a feeling of happiness. Some say that the very act of smiling releases serotonin, known as the `happy chemical` in the brain. However it happens, we have David to thank for many reasons that we smile.
It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving. ~ Mother Teresa

With his charismatic smile, David has joined and will continue to flourish in an impressive, elite group of singers who like David, showcase the honesty of their convictions in their performances. These singers are known worldwide as some of the most generous humanitarians, each with remarkable stories of their own.
For Michael Jackson, in humanitarian terms, it was his quiet mission in life. His body of artistic work carried a spiritual message for all the injustices of the human race. He said, “What I enjoy most about performing is making people happy. Just to make a person smile means more to me than anything.” Reba McEntire’s contributions are enormous. She has contributed millions to help people all around the world. The reason that Reba’s career is so successful is because she truly knows what’s important in life: sharing her heart and touching other people’s hearts. I believe that her giving nature is her true talent in life.
I have been drawn to yet another performer who shares with David many obvious and similar musical talents. Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, one of the most esteemed vocalists in history, is dedicating an exceptional fund-raising concert “A Smile For Angels” with the proceeds donated to NPH Haiti. David and Andrea are decades apart, although both have become known as “The Voice.” They share a common goal of supporting and uplifting humanity with their constant, outward reach to those less privileged. They also share one important thing in common…their unforgettable smiles.
The impacts of a smile: “It costs nothing, but creates much. It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give. It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever” ~ Dale Carnegie
