Fangirl at the Record Store
Posted by pabuckie on Sunday, August 1, 2010
Lately I have been thinking about what we mature fans have in common with regard to David Archuleta. Does being a fan of his bring out our “inner teenager?” I began to realize my inner teen in a big way when my eyes caught sight of him descending the escalator at the Virgin Record store on the day of the premiere of his first CD. The A N T I C I P A T I O N before hand was so intense, you could have cut it with a knife. Containing my composure while waiting for this “kid” to ride down the escalator made me feel like a child on Christmas morning. I was giddy with joy! The one and only David Archuleta, the kid I had rooted for all those weeks on American Idol, the one I had absolutely adored and couldn’t get enough of was about to arrive like a conquering hero meeting his troops. All eyes in the room remained fixed on the top of those stairs. When he finally appeared,
…the 14 year old in me came pouring out for all those standing nearby to hear. I was so overwhelmed with the excitement of seeing him in the flesh that I screamed. Loudly. It was literally a guttural, primal sound coming unbidden from my inner, long-lost fangirl. It felt sooooo GOOD! The young girls I was standing near could not believe that sound came out of me.
“Was that YOU?” one asked.
“Yes! I am sorry, I just couldn’t help it!” I replied.
This experience raised the question of “Why does he have this effect on me? Does it affect others the same way? ”
It makes my heart race as if I was 14 all over again. My big teen heartthrob back then was Donny Osmond. Had posters of Donny all over my wall. My sister liked David Cassidy. Two very different persons liked by two equally different siblings.
That boyish charm, that perpetual smile that lights up a room, that velvet voice of the ages, coal black hair and penetrating hazel eyes…what’s not to like? His look is maturing quite nicely, I might add.
So I guess what I’m getting at in my rambling, spacey sort of way is who did you have a crush on when you were younger and does David bring out that “inner” teenager in you? I wonder if there are similarities in the people we had a crush on.
Can we talk? Who was your teenage crush? Do you revisit those feelings when you listen to David?

Ahem. I believe I am not alone in the following:

And yes, I believe there is a slight resemblance. 🙂

Most of the younger fans will, no doubt, have no idea who he is but I remember him well. In answer to your question, Patty-Ann, yes indeed, David brings out my inner teen and what a refreshing feeling! If I had been standing next to you at the Virgin Music Store that eventful day, I’d have been screaming right along with you…would have been a blast! I thank David every day of my life for “taking me back” to those memorable times. I feel like it’s part of his “gift” to us.

Oh, you young’uns! My first crush goes way, way back (because I do) to the 1940’s when the heartthrob of all ‘bobby-soxers’ was Frank Sinatra.
Coincidentally, he was also known as “The Voice”. What a treat it was to follow his career and enjoy his music for so many decades. How I wish I had the time remaining to do the same with David’s career which I know will be as successful. You may be sure I will ‘hang on and hang in’ for as long as I can to enjoy this young man’s genius.

Someone looking at David would never know what we all see in him, but I say you have to be in his presence to witness it and feel it!

Pabuckie, thanks for this very timely, fun article, especially in light of today being “Crush Day” and all. Also, thanks for harkening back to Nov 11,2008, the day that I went to Virgin Records in Times Square to buy David’s CD, met you, and you were nice enough to sneak me in to the front of the line to meet David. The elctricity in the air waiting for David to come down that escalator was “shocking” (pun intended), and when he finally was spotted coming down, the adoring throng erupted at a level unheard of since the Beatles.
I can’t say that I’ve ever had, in the classic sense, a “crush” on an artist, although I’ve been a fan of many singers through the years. However, I will say, with my head held high, that I feel enormous love and admiration for David, as both a singer and a friend to humanity. If that’s a crush, so be it.
When it comes to David, all the old rules are out the window for me. It’s a whole new era.

Pabuckie, what a refreshing article!! It got me thinking. When I was 14-ish The Beatles and the surfer groups were happening. When I was younger I was always finding the addresses for writing fan letters to the likes of Bobby Darin, Fabian, etc., but I don’t really remembering having a ‘crush’ on any of them. As a teenager, I was into the CCR, Led Zepplin, Iron Butterfly, Cream, Joni Mitchell, and yes, Janis Joplin, etc., the list goes on, scene. Yes, I was on the somewhat hippie/rebelious side of life then. I look back and wonder at myself. I must admit, however, that I still listen to them every now and then and I still enjoy them. I’m certainly glad, however, that I ‘growed up’ and lost the rebelious part of that enjoyment.
I honestly and truly feel like Bliss, “I can’t say that I’ve ever had, in the classic sense, a “crush” on an artist, although I’ve been a fan of many singers through the years.

Pabuckie– great subject!
I’m from the Elvis era, and what’s strange , now that you made me think about it–is that I never had a crush on him, I was certainly the right age, around 17. I thought he was a wonderful singer and was handsome , but I never drooled or screamed. I had a crush on this handsome guy in high school and I guess that occupied my time and thoughts, ended up marrying the guy.
I’ll be forever grateful to David for letting my inner 17 year old know what it’s like to have a crush on a singer, cause she drools and screams, daydreams. Sometimes when I’m in chat or here at The Voice, I do actually feel 17, giggling with my girl friends and I’ve had the best time of my life. FUN STUFF.
Now , as to my inner 19 year old, she’s coming off being grounded this week and has to behave, so she hasn’t got much to say.

Pabuckie, what a fun article! I could literally feel the excitement you described while you waited for David! The mention of Donny, and Davy Jones, and David Cassidy have all brought me back – wow, haven’t thought about those guys for awhile! I would buy those teen magazines and put pictures of The Monkeys all over my wall—I just thought they were cute.
I’m with Bliss and Tawna21—I don’t think I had an actual “Crush” on anyone—but I did have songs that would make me swoon. I loved “Mandy”, by Barry Manilow—but I thought he looked “odd”, (no, not ODD, just “odd”), so I didn’t really have a crush on him. I also loved The Carpenters, and I remember singing their songs over and over again, and I would feel “in love” while I sang, but not in love with them! I listened to the group Bread, and thought they were all incredibly handsome.
I have to say, David is the only musician that has ever brought out this whole “fan girl” thing in me.
He is the only one I have ever followed very closely, and will continue to follow until I whither away. Unlike some of you who seem to put it into words so nicely, I can’t seem to even describe it. I just know he makes me happy—I love his music, and I love him!

That’s a bummer that he wasn’t very nice to you, Davidstopsmyaging (really love your name). Everyone has an off day–even Donny and David. I don’t know when you met him, but it’s well known in the donnyfandom that he was VERY moody throughout the eighties. I met him many times on both good and bad days. He was dealing with some pretty tough issues. It was his trial by fire, and he came through it a much nicer, humbled person.

Through the years there have been a lot of good looking guys who could barely sing, and a lot of very talented singers who didn’t look like movie stars. In my opinion, only two male artists of the past 55 years have combined enormous talent with jaw dropping good looks and radioactive charisma. One of them was Elvis Presley and the other is David Archuleta. The difference is that when Elvis was David’s age, he was still driving a truck.

I had two crushes, both blue-eyed blondes, (like my husband.) Both were actors. The first one at a very young age, maybe 8 or 9? was Nick Adams. I was actually smitten with the character he played as Johnnie Yuma, The Rebel.
In my teen years I had a HUGE crush on David McCallum from the Man From Uncle. NOTHING had better happen to prevent me from being in front of that TV every Wednesday night to catch a glimpse of him. I would have a major meltdown if anyone came between me and /sigh…Illya Kuryakin.

Utahmom #44—-I went back a little in my memory bank—-I think it must have been around 1981-82 or so when Donny came into the Denny’s in Chico, Ca. He had a concert at Chico State University. I didn’t mean to sound so harsh—it’s just that he looked really—I don’t know—frazzeled or something—not the handsome guy I had pictured. I remember he looked really pale. Of course, everyone was “star-struck”–it was probably around 10:00 p.m. or so, and the restaurant was packed with people. He just didn’t look happy to be there. I think he was trying to get dessert, and I would imagine that he was probably getting a little too much attention—probably was tired. I know that wasn’t the height of his carreer or anything. Anyway, I do agree that he is a handsome man—I don’t follow him, so …..
I know that even David has and will continue to have days that are more challenging than others. Those challenges make us stronger, and David knows this. He is so young….I know that with is faith, he will make it through.

My 2nd crush was Ricky Martin. Did you know that he has some DVDs of live shows? I own all of his CDs including the Spanish ones and DVDs. Same for Prince. Those crushes were like tiny pebbles compared to the Mt. Everest crush I have on Mr. Archuleta. Their voices never broke my heart and moved my soul like David’s does.

And although you know I find David excrutiatingly handsome, my crush on him goes so much deeper than that. I never wished Prince or Ricky any harm, but I never felt compelled to pray for them, I never kept them in a special compartment in my heart. I think I was saving that spot for David. 🙂

He was on some show I was allowed to watch on Saturdays and there was something about the eyes, I guess. I think I had to be all of nine or ten. Next crushes were on Robby Benson (thanks to Ode to Billy Joe) and Donny Osmond. I LOVED John Denver and his was my first concert, but I never had a crush on him. I still own and listen to a few great John Denver songs.
Funny thing: my mom loved Elvis even though I believe she was older than him, and I never thought anything of it. I liked him too and had his Blue Hawaii LP but never had a crush.

His voice is the most beautiful I have heard in a very long time. The passion he puts into singing, I do not think I have ever seen before

To Pabuckie and everyone at The Voice –
I grew up in New Jersey, near NYC, and the amusement park I used to go to as a youngster was “Palisades Park.” (You know the song? – a rock & roll hit by Freddie Cannon).
“A Swingin’ place…To have some fun and see what I could see.”
I was a teen in the ’50’s when that was popular, and it was a summer-fun song made special when I did get to meet Freddie at a show. He was the first pop star I had ever met.
I am now a senior citizen and to quote Sara (space) Bareilles “how far do I have to go to get to you? many the miles, many the miles.” I have seen many musicians and heard years of songs… to now proudly be a David Archuleta fan – who I have had the privilege of meeting several times and adore as no other!
Like so many fans, it all started when I was flipping stations the night of David’s American Idol “Heaven” performance, and just knew I had to pause and listen. The next week David sang “Shop Around.” I was near his age when that song was popular, and it’s especially memorable because I did see Smokey Robinson and The Miracles at a concert a couple years later. Other shows I’ve seen (from a long time ago) are: Pat Boone, Jerry Vale, Judy Garland!!! Yes, I did see Judy Garland live at Carnegie Hall. She was AWESOME. Loved it. Other shows include The Temptations, The O’Jays, Rod Bernard (Who is he? Cajun pop), Ray Charles!!!, Nancy Wilson, Billy Joel, Hall & Oates, Tom Jones, and Michael Jackson!!! All still favorites.
I love all rock & roll and early Motown. It’s impossible for me to name an ultimate favorite singer from those times. So many were pioneers of the new sounds. Although Elvis Presley was the star, I preferred Buddy Holly, Gene Pitney and Johnny Mathis. Jackie Wilson and Bobby Darin, The Coasters, Dionne Warwick, The Shirelles, Little Anthony, Gladys Knight, and Roberta Flack. I could go on and on naming many artists from those years. What memories for me! Oh, can’t forget Clyde McPhatter (of the original Drifters), Jerry Lee Lewis and Lloyd Price, and well all the wonderful groups and duos. It was a time when you could understand the words, feel the music, relate to the sounds and as a teen, I kept my ear pressed up against the radio till I could afford to buy 45’s for 75 cents! Plus, the music was all so dance-worthy!
It’s been fun to reminisce. I am glad again (to quote a favorite line from Johnny Mathis) “the world is full of wondrous things” and the wonder of David is that he brings music back to my soul…like it used to be many years ago – when it meant so much!
Today, I am grateful for David’s courage and tenacity to get the message of a song to all of us. He gives more in melody and words than we could ever return to him… except to say: THANK YOU, David!

My mother-in-law called me the day after David sang Love me Tender on Idol. I knew she loved Elvis but I never knew how much. She knew I was into the show and rooting for David. I told her to check him out and she tuned in for LMT. So she told me that he did Elvis proud and she shared with me that she loved Elvis. I told her I knew that. She went on to tell me that she loved him ‘in a way that no married woman should’! LOL Bwahhaaa! She is a very old school, very quiet, very religious woman, so I was very suprised and we giggled like school girls. It was a special moment. I never admitted to her that I love David in a way a woman married to her son shouldn’t, but I think she may have understood. LOL!

love this post pabuckie! my biggest music ‘crush’, one that turned into lifelong fandom… hands down, michael jackson. saw him and his brothers, when i was 7 years old, on their national debut on the ed sullivan show in 1969. the world for me changed forever musically. the jackson 5 and michael were just everything to millions of us pre-teen and teen girls in the 70’s, and there was an intense rivalry w/fans of the osmonds that has never been fully resolved, lol. we thought they were copycatting the j5, and especially michael’s style, but the passage of time has softened my view of them, and i can appreciate them both – now. lol.
i have a list of musical faves /crushes that is a mile long, i won’t bore anyone with them all here, but i can say that seeing david for the 1st time on idol singing ‘shop around’ stopped me in my tracks, much like michael jackson 1st appearance on sullivan long ago. i knew then, just knew that this young man with the big voice was going to become someone to be reckoned with – not just in the small universe that is idol, but beyond that. nothing since then has convinced me otherwise. i prepared myself then for another lifelong journey of following an artist that had my jaw dropping from their childhood through adulthood. been there, done that, have the t-shirt and a few battle scars, but i’m unshakable. 🙂

Closest thing to a crush, probably Donny, but it wasn’t the swooning, OMG kind.

As I got a little older I followed Elvis – gorgeous man, loved his voice, his music. It was a rush to watch him perform, he was so talented.
But there wasn’t that thing – that thing that tugs and pulls at your heartstrings, that makes you smile like a cheshire cat and want to give him a hug, to that thing that makes you feel a little flush, your legs start to wobble and your heart races almost out of your chest. Is that a crush?

OK, so I’ve never posted here before but this topic is just too much to pass up.
I’m another child of the 60’s and 70’s that just can’t get over this crazy “crush” on David. I grew up in San Antonio where music is a big thing although I don’t remember being “crazy” over any one artist. Coming from a musical family (my uncle was even on Broadway for a while) I was exposed to lots of different artists and genres. My grandmother and I shared a love for Elvis’s music, Love Me Tender being my favorite song. (Yes, I listen to David’s version all the time.) My parents listened to a lot of country music. I remember buying Donnie Osmond’s “Puppy Love” single and following him for a while. Being a teen in the 70’s I guess the closest I came to a “crush” was Bobby Sherman.
When I moved to Austin for college I discovered more music and couldn’t get enough of John Denver. One of my first live concerts that I attended was John Denver in-the-round at the then brand new Erwing center at Univ. of Texas on May 6, 1978. My friend had camped out for tickets and was the first in line. We had front row on the aisle right where John Denver walked in and I was in heaven. That concert has actually been recorded as the largest crowd in the history of the Erwing Center, 17,829. That was the most amazing concert that I had ever attended until I saw David at the Scout Bar in San Antonio, March 12, 2009.
I still love John Denver’s music and one wish that I have is for David to sing “Annie’s Song” sometime. This is a really beautiful song and David would “kill it” …and possibly me.

But, I did enjoy Paul and the other Beatles the most for a very long time.

#76 Oh Emmegirl! Did you just describe it perfectly or what!!! “…that tugs and pulls at your heartstrings, that makes you smile like a cheshire cat and want to give him a hug, to that thing that makes you feel a little flush, your legs start to wobble and your heart races almost out of your chest..” Emmegirl, I couldn’t have described it better myself!!
I was in the fifth grade when Elvis came on the scene and my friends and I went to see “Love Me Tender.” I remember crying like everyone else, but I never did become a real fan—go figure! As a teen I was into different kinds of music than my friends. Music always has and will be my biggest passion. I have had music playing every day of my life (not so much the radio) but whether at home or in the car, I am listening to music. I loved Johnny Mathis, Nat King Cole, Pat Boone, The Everly Brothers, Donny Osmond, The Four Freshman, The Carpenters, Dionne Warwick, Whitney Houston, Barry Manilow, and many more. The only concerts I went to were Johnny Mathis (2 times at Lagoon, an amusement & entertainment park in Utah) and Barry Manilow. I have never had a “crush” (as Emmegirl describes above) on any artist until DA came on the scene! I have never followed a career until DA, never went to concert after concert, book signing after book signing until DA. I have never played Christmas music into the summer until DA, and have never waited with such a hungry heart for a CD to come out!!! Or for more concerts!!!
I have to add here, that even though I have been to many of David’s concerts and VIP’s, and book signings, I will never, ever forget the first time I saw him live. Briefly, I stood in line for 10 hours to get a good spot in front of the mosh pit in Tempe, AZ. so my daughter would be able to see. She arrived shortly before the doors opened and when they did she ran to the front of the stage. We ended up right in front of him against the barrier. When he came out singing “Touch My Hand” I seriously almost fainted with joy. He was so extraordinarily beautiful and his voice so incredible I just stood there and cried. It was a moment in my life never to be forgotten. The second thing to it was the first night of CFTH in SLC. Oh,wait, what about Rexburg—oh it is futile! Love you all!

Besides, Donny, I grew up listening to the Jackson 5 and a lot of motown music! I saw that “soulful” side in David right away!

So now it’s even more mind boggling to me to think how long ago I started watching David! haha
The thing that’s different for me about David – is his PASSION when he sings! I’ve never seen anyone quite like it! His facial expressions, his eyebrows, his fingers, his body language, everything just “oooozes” passion for me.

Bluebar, growing up in the Bronx in the ’50s and ’60s, it was always a treat to travel “across the river” to Palisades Amusement Park. They had many live Rock ‘n Roll shows hosted by Murray the K and Cousin Brucie, and a regular late afternoon show hosted by Clay Cole. Freddie Cannon’s song from ’62, “Palisades Park” was a huge hit and a great song. In those days, it was all about the song. You didn’t have to have a “look”. You just had to have a “sound”.
When I think of David’s career, I am reminded of a title of a song from ’58 called “Born Too Late” by the Ponitails. Had David been around in the ’50s and ’60s, with the exposure singers were given on TV and radio, he would already have had numerous #1 songs and would be a household name. Picture David on American Bandstand singing “Crush” or “Somebody Out There”. How about an appearance on Ed Sullivan during Christmas singing “O Holy Night”.
Anyway, I don’t want to get into a David-esque ramble here, but I think that a major reason that older folks love David so much is that he is a human time machine who transports us back to a time when singers sang songs that we hummed on the way to school. I catch myself humming David’s songs all the time in all kinds of places. If I could only have 2 words to say to David, they would be “thank you.”

After seeing the great work he did with David, my daughter checked out his site and really liked his work.

It’s so interesting hearing how some of you hum David’s songs all the time, or constantly have music playing. Me, too. I ALWAYS have a song going through my head. When I wake up at night, I’m hearing a song, when I get up in the morning, when I’m at work…. well, constantly. Usually it’s a David song, but by following him and reading sites like this one, I have become reacquainted with old music and have been exposed to all kinds of new tunes. All because of David!
I was re-reading parts of his book this morning, and when he writes about how he and his brother and sisters performed together and harmonized, it brought me back, too. I have vivid memories of my brothers and sisters going on road trips and singing our hearts out. We would sing “This Land is Your Land”, and “Do-Re-Me”….Ha–funny to remember!

What a fun artical. Gladys, Guy Williams was also my first crush. I was a teen and thought that he was so sexy in the way he smiled and talked and well just about everything. It stirred my teenage hormones. I could watch him on TV every week which was so great. Then Elvis came along around the same time and he could do the moves and sing like no other. Elvis had it all. I saw Elvis in concert when I was fifteen. This was when he was still wearing the black leathers. Oh my!!!! Both men were dark haired and handsome in the same way. I haven’t had a real crush on anyone since, that is until David came along. Maybe David reminds me of Guy and Elvis in some ways.
By the way, my Dad met Elvis at a business meeting at RCA Victor company in Hollywood, CA. All of the heads of their departments were there and Elvis was there representing the recording and manufaturing company of RCA. My Dad was the head of TV and appliance repairs. My Dad said that Elvis was such a gentlement. Quiet and kind of shy, too. He was really impressed with him. My Dad would get his albums right off the press because they were manufactured just down the street of his office in Hollywood, CA. The manager would give them to him because he knew what a fan his daughter was (me). Oh, the memories.

To Susie, Marylee, Betsy, SandyBeaches, Pandasmama and all the John Denver fans: I’ve always had a sneaking suspicion that I could find you, among David’s fans. 😀 Although JD’s voice doesn’t come near David’s, he was a brilliant songwriter, who sang songs with meaningful lyrics, and was a kind and gentle soul who cared about people and the environment. I saw him in concert many times in the 1970s and still grieve for him. I had a hard time coping when he passed away because his music touched me so deeply.
“Annie’s Song” was my wedding song. Simple lyrics with a beautiful melody.
ANNIE’S SONG
You fill up my senses like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses come fill me again.
Come let me love you, let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter, let me die in your arms
Let me lay down beside you, let me always be with you
Come let me love you, come love me again.

another huge fave, though not necessarily a crush for me is steve winwood. i find there to be a lot of similarities between david and winwood, from a musical perspective. both were just 17 years old when they burst onto the music scene, young men with voices wayyy beyond their years in maturity and the ability to just nail you to the wall. i see david as the continuation in a long line of uber gifted and talented young singers in the music industry who have grown, matured artistically, and left a rich legacy across different genres and styles of music that is still revered today – winwood, alex chilton, stevie wonder, michael jackson were all teens or younger when they began their storied careers, but i find myself revisiting steve winwood’s history and journey, relative to david, more than the others. winwood was considered a musical prodigy and genius when he fronted the spencer davis group and traffic, and 40 years later, he sounds just as good, is still prolific in his output, and holds a special place in pop and music history as a true ‘boy wonder’ who grew into his greatness. here is a link to the studio version of ‘i’m a man’, winwood on lead vocals… at 17 years old… still stunning and fierce…

I had a question about SBL and radio play. I guess today is the official day – it can now be played on the radio. Is there anything else we can do other than request? Will radio stations add it on their own free will—or will they only add it if it’s requested enough? I did read “Radio Rant” by Abbra, and sort of understand the whole “indie” thing. I guess I just want to know if there is anything else we can do to make sure it is played.

As far as I know it is “added” to the radio list. One factor in how much play it gets is if it is requested by local listeners.
Speculation is that SBL was added today to Hot AC formats and will be added to the Top 40 format stations tomorrow, from what I read. Best thing to do is follow the guidelines of the radio stations in your area for requesting either from their web site or call their request line. Supporting David and requesting is about all we can do. The rest is up to the “radio machine”.
Make a Radio Request and Help Make Your Favorite Artist’s Song a Hit
“Requests at stations that are currently playing the song help the song get played more often by establishing that local listeners (that’d be us) are receiving it well and enjoying it on the playlist.”
“Today’s FM radio stations are programmed by research–listener surveys, “callouts”, online pre-testing and music scheduling software–rather than by phoned-in or emailed requests. ”

I have a little John Denver story.
After my mom died, I visited my dad almost every day. I was so worried about him. He was 89 and living alone. One day he asked if I would take him to Burger King. I had never seen him eat fast food ever! So off we went. We hopped in my mini van and I turned the radio on. On came “Take me home, country roads”. He started to sing. I sang with him. We sang the whole song together. I never knew he liked John Denver or even knew who he was.
But I know I’ll never forget that moment.

I heard SBL on KUDD.FM from Salt Lake City a little while ago. It’s the Mix 107.9 and I can only stream it on my computer. It doesn’t come in on my stereo at all. I saw on the mediabase where they had added it so I went there. Had to listen to a rap song (ugh) and Linkin Park (they weren’t bad) then SBL was on. It kind of took me by surprise. Even tho’ I was hoping to hear it, it seemed to good to be true when it came up so quickly. I cranked up these speakers and rocked out. Then Lady GaGa came on so I clicked it off. I’m waiting (patiently?) for my regular station to start playing it since they are listed as a Hot AC Top40 station. They play Crush all the time, I can’t figure out what they are waiting for!!

I have never had a crush on a singer, though I have been ‘in love’ with their music. Like many of the other posters here (that makes us sound like we’re some kind of “illustration board”. *_*), the whole DA thing is a completely different ball-game. Pray for him? Yep! Obsessing? Yep! Gotta know he is happy? Yep! Get as much from him as a person as from his music? Yep!
I loved many of the songs that were current, but never followed a group or singer
As far as “I have to have it!” music growing up (and sorta now)? Beethoven, Mozart, Dan F., James Taylor, Chicago, Wagner, J. Strauss II, Striesand, Brazil 66, Bach, Buble, and… GUSTER!!!! (And Tally Hall)
John Denver, absolutely. He truly did cross all generations and spoke to life in so many ways, still does.
I have really enjoyed getting to hear so many kinds of music and be introduced to so many singers by these DA fans and site. I am really enriched by this and very grateful. I love being able to love a lot of the music my grown and not-so-grown kids listen to.
But as far as a youthful musical crush goes. I think I missed that boat. Although I did have an embarrassing moment or two…
(When as a young adult I attended a party where we had to bring our favorite ‘song’ or music to share…
I showed up with the Pilgrims March from Tannhauser. *_* )

I was addicted to that show only because of him. I videotaped alot of the episodes, and still have them today. Which reminds me, I also videotaped David’s episodes of Star Search, and then had the audacity to tape over them! I can’t believe I did that, but who knew what was going to happen?

David Archuleta – Unforgettable
Published August 02, 2010 by:
Pamela Pike
We Haven’t Forgotten You!
Unforgettable
That’s what you are
Unforgettable
Tho’ near or far
Unforgettable
In every way
And forever more
That’s how you’ll stay
David Archuleta mentions in his latest vlog that he hopes we haven’t forgotten him! Some of the lyrics in this song made popular by Nat King Cole titled, “Unforgettable truly describes how many of us feel about David.
We can’t forget the many little things he does so often as reminding us at the beginning of every vlog, hey, it’s David here, or the ease in which he get distracted while being interviewed. Let’s not forget him stopping in a middle of a song to fix his foot pedal on his keyboard as he says, “Sorry” and then just keeps going as if that’s the norm.
David is very funny but he doesn’t think so and that’s what makes him even more endearing. We all have our favorite twitter, blog, vlog, videos, random comments and many of those precious moments on American Idol that tickled our funny bone.
It’s not possible to forget David Archuleta he is a part of our lives, a light that shines down on us, he is Living sunlight that keeps us focused on goodness, truth, kindness, love and charity. He is the light that reminds us that service to others brings happiness and success and is a reminder for all of us to love and cherish our family, friends and faith.
His smile captures our heart and he really listens to what you have to say and is very gracious. He makes you feel special and has a heart of gold. He is approachable, vulnerable, humble, and does not take his success for granted.
David is inspirational and has been a source of positive change for many of us across generation and geographic borders. His music seems to be a way we can access that essence some might call a soul. He touches our heart with his amazing vocal performances and is always thanking us for our support.
We praise him, we bless him, we adore him and we will never forget him!

What a fun article, Pabuckie. Sometimes it’s hard to imagine I’m (still or ever have been) on this journey, as it is totally out of character for me. I’ve never had a crush on an entertainer. Would have scoffed at those that did. Have always enjoyed music – Johnny Mathis, Carpenters & Bee Gees & pretty much all pop in the 60’s & 70’s, but nothing like David’s music.
More like a casual listener – if it was played, I listened/sang along and sometimes bought an album. However I have only gone one day (since March or April of 2008) without David’s music. That one day, thought my iPod Nano 2G had died. Within an hour, I had a new one in hand & found out the old one just needed to be reset while setting up the new one. It was ok though because the new one had a video player & I could watch all those videos of his AI performances that I had purchased. At that time, I was still in the closet with my ODD, so time on the computer was limited (whenever my hubby was away from it). The iPod was my lifeline to David. Managed to hide it until we went on vacation in August. What a relief. The quality of my life has been so much better. Besides the enjoyment from his music, there is the relaxation, inspiration, entertainment & educational (mostly from his selfless fans – Abrra, you’re the best) benefits. No longer a casual listener but a lifer – for however long that may be. ‘Life is good….”
Emmegirl#76 – “But there wasn’t that thing – that thing that tugs and pulls at your heartstrings, that makes you smile like a cheshire cat and want to give him a hug, to that thing that makes you feel a little flush, your legs start to wobble and your heart races almost out of your chest. Is that a crush?” Well, that pretty much says it all for me. Been wondering if I was having health issues. Glad to know it’s just symptomatic of ODD.

Hi everyone…never posted here before, but lurk ALL the time. Love your site, and the discussions/articles. I just have to add who my “crush” was “back in the day” lol I see a few others share my love of John Denver.
In the 70s (my REAL teen yrs) I was obsessed with him. Knew every song, owned every album…on sr skip day I listened to the radio all day to try to win tickets to his concert “in the round” in Miami. Can’t remember if I won, but I did go. His music hit me right in the heart..as did later on, Dan Fogelberg. Both passed way too early. I haven’t felt music by anyone else except for David. I pray he’s around for a long time, and I’m around many more years to enjoy it! thanks for your site!

#82 Pattirae The Tempe concert was also my first time seeing David live. I stood in line with my 11 yr. old and 14 yr. old grandaughters for several hours too. David was on FIRE that night. His performance was absolutely amazing!!!! I was in awe. The screams were unbelieveable. I actually lost my hearing for about 30 seconds when it was over. The good thing was that the screams didn’t drown out the sound of David’s voice. Thankfully, he venue had a great sound system. We all had so much fun that night. What a wonderful memory. I’ll never forget.

Pabckie: Is it too late to add my comment to your wonderful nostalgic look back? I’m not a regular poster, but I lurk here at least once a week and love reading all the beautiful articles here.
I had posters of Peter Noone of Herman’s Hermits and Paul McCartney on my wall when I was a young teen, but had never experienced what it’s like to be a fan of anyone until seeing a certain young man from Utah audition on American Idol. David grew on me gradually. Although I thought he had an amazing voice, it took a little while for me to realize that something strange was going on. Week by week, I found myself growing more excited to see what this kid was going to do next.
With each song, I became more emotionally invested in this adorable and amazing young singer. Then, during Top 8 week, something happened. “The Connection”. David sang Angels and a miracle occurred. The moment was Spiritual for me. My brother had passed away a few months before and I hadn’t been able to cry, to truly grieve. I had gone through the shock, the anger, but not the tears. Something in David’s voice that night reached through the television, touched my broken heart and I cried until I couldn’t cry anymore. The healing of my Spirit began that night. I’ve loved David ever since.
The 15yo girl in me didn’t come out until a few months later when I met David for the first time. In October of 2008, someone at the KISS radio station in Seattle invited me to meet David. Of the 45 people in that room, I was the oldest, yet there I stood quivering like a nervous young kitten. My heart was all a-flutter and I had to keep reminding myself that David was the same age as my 17yo grand-daughter who went with me that morning. Finally, the moment arrives and David walks into the conference room. Suddenly the room brightens by a factor of one hundred. With beet red face, I walk up to David who is flashing “me”.. yes, “me”, that beautiful smile and looks right into my eyes as he takes the photo from me that I had brought for him to sign. I was completely mesmerized.
After forgetting my name when he asked for it, I nearly swooned when he put his arm around my waist and pulled me closer for our picture. Now, I’ve never swooned over anyone except my beloved husband of 38 years, but this swooning was of a different kind. Here was the voice that I had fallen in love with. The voice that gave me goosebumps and made the hair on the back of my neck stand straight up when he sang When You Say You Love Me. The voice that brought tears to my eyes when I heard him hold those powerful notes while singing And So It Goes. I started to walk away, but suddenly turned around and asked David for a hug. “Awwww”, he says, then takes a step to meet me and we hug. A part of my heart drops to the floor and to this day, it still lies at David’s feet. I’ve met David 4 other times since then, but this first meeting is the one that I will always treasure the most. Yep, I have it bad for one David Archuleta. As the wise old owl told Bambi, I’ve done been “Twitterpated.”

JoyF – Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful, heartfelt story with me. I actually had goosebumps and tears when I read it. Perhaps the part you said about “Angels”. That song especially I really felt something from David and it does bring one hope – that sense of “healing” that you talked about. I loved hearing about your first meeting with David and how it made you feel. I’ve been in that same place, probably will always feel that way when I meet David. And “When You Say You Love Me” is probably my favorite song of David’s and wish he would sing that again LIVE so that I could witness it!!
Thank you so much for your heartfelt story. I loved every word of it!

NOTHING like David…think I prefer finding my real go getter inner “fan girl” at this stage of my life.allows one to fully appreciate EVERYTHING about David, and the exceptional young man that he is at his age. His voice takes me to a place I have never been before, inside myself, down deep into the heart,while he’s dialing up the soul…”hello? yes I am here and I am singing to YOU!”
I find that incredible. Can’t ignore something like that.what is that?!It’s such a gift this guy has, that he is sharing. How can you ignore it., or turn your back on it, something that beautiful?
