Angelica…I guess you have listened to some of us travellers long enough and now it is your turn for a wonderful time! We must have become a drag with our constant excitement each time that we heard even the most distant sound of his voice (or caught a glimpse of him). Yes, the voice, it is a truly exciting time and I hope that everyone will have the chance to hear him sing live in the near or not too distant future!!!
There will be stories to tell I am certain.

Wow! Love studio Elevator. Has that fun, quirky, dancy feeling like Soul Sister, to me. Just want to get up & dance. Hope it’s available on iTunes, NOW!
Been away from home for the past month & so much has happened. Cannot believe how much traveling he’s been doing – west coast, east coach, south, north.
Since it’s hard to keep perspective (so I’ve been told by my family) when it comes to David’s music, been trying hard to just enjoy his music with headphones & earphones. However, one of my sons was teasing me last week about Davids’ music sounding the same (Crush, ALTNOY) & so I played SBL for him. Well, he was quiet & listened to the whole song – something for him. Find out last night that he actually likes it. He’s not a fan but he liked it. Huge accomplishment here…..

I have come to the conclusions after listening to the snippet TOSOD a trillion times and analyzing every note and word, that David sounds carefree, light, happy, I know how this song is supposed to sound IT’S MINE, like he’s singing in his own backyard. The notes that follow the words “best of me” I swear have is an island sound– short lived– but its there.

SU2C reality teams: Archuleta’s team raised double Survivor; SYTYCD, Biggest Loser trail
related news »
by Andy Dehnart / September 12, 2010, 10:14 PM
During the Stand Up To Cancer telethon on Friday, Survivor Africa winner Ethan Zohn appeared with So You Think You Can Dance host Cat Deeley and The Biggest Loser host Alison Sweeney to announce that the Fox and NBC shows, along with ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition were joining with CBS and creating fundraising teams.
As of Sunday night, the Survivor team has exceeded its goal of $25,000, raising $31,637. So You Think You Can Dance’s team has raised $1,506, The Biggest Loser team has raised $680, and Extreme Makeover’s team has raised $295.
To be fair to the other teams, Survivor started its team and fundraising about a month ago. And that team is getting its ass kicked by American Idol runner-up David Archuleta’s team, which has raised $68,058.
Ultimately, the teams are just a fun way to encourage donations, 100 percent of which go to collaborative cancer research. So, if you can, give something, even $1.

I got an email from djxox aka djbell13. She fell as we were running to the stage at Six Flags. Seems like she stepped into a low spot in the grass and twisted her knee. She stood for the rest of the day and watched the entire concert. She has had problems with her knee ever since. Here is the update I wanted to share (with her blessing).
Abrra
I am attempting to go back to work tonight since I have been out for 2 weeks already, going against doctors orders, but I am stubborn, and I will be out awhile after the surgery. I have become quite the “hopper”, the brace and crutches help. The ortho diagnosed a torn meniscus in my knee which will require surgery to repair (or removal depending on what the MRI shows). I had the MRI Sat and have a followup appt with the Ortho Dr on Thursday. I was able to go online today and was blown away by SOT and GBA which is a fav of mine (and Dad’s too since he was a very patriotic vet). these two performances need to go straight to my iTouch. Gotta love him.
I shall keep you updated and hope to catch a “chat” soon, I miss my DA buddies, can”t wait to hear Annette’s recap, after she recovers. 🙂
Thanks again for all your support~

I have tried to steer clear of referring to David as “beautiful” because it seems so inappropriate for a man. After last night, I give up. Those videos, snaps, screencaps. Aaaah!! He is wayyy beautiful. Awesomely beautiful. Fantastically beautiful. Just beautiful.
Oh yeah, including the voice of course 🙂

Add my name too to that list for TAGGB. That is now my song that plays over and over and over on my iphone ipod and my other ipod too. I love it so much. Such a comforting song. I need a ringtone for that, Elevator and The Other Side of Down. Just wish I knew how to do it. Someday I am going to spend the whole day getting tech savvy like the rest of you here.
Waiting patiently for Angelica’s recap of last night. The vids are so super. So glad the archudrought is over.:))
Djbell, my prayers are with you!! I had both knees torn at the same time while skiing, and kept skiing into the night, and paid for it the next day too!! We think we are superhuman sometimes, don’t we? Best of luck to you, and maybe you won’t have to have surgery if the tear is only partial. Mine were and no surgery, just rehab time!
I have been trying so hard to be the 10th caller on that dang MIX107.9 contest, called in all five times today, and actually got through at the 6:10 one, but was the 3rd caller. SO EXCITED when it actually rang and no busy signal, but so sad when he said you are the 3rd caller. Ughhhhhh, not fair, and the person who won actually was putting up BEAVER pictures in her room when she won. NOT FAIR at all!!!:((((( I tweeted Mix107.9 and told them they could at least make sure the people who win are real diehard DA fans, but then again, she probably won’t be a BEAVER fan after getting that private concert with DA, will she?????!!! She will be a new DA fan instead.

djafan–I simply cannot listen to 107.9–I don’t care if they are promising to play Elevator, I can’t wade thru what has to be listened to before they get to it! I’ll just listen on my computer, etc.
Yes, Dayzee, ‘It has made a great impact when you think there is only the one performance. It wanders around in my head and never leaves.’ I’m with you on this.
btw–there are some great neck views in these videos from yesterday. 🙂
djabell— {{{hugs}}} and best wishes to you thru the next few weeks. I’m wishing you the very best!! You’re a true fan to go thru all of this for the rest of us!! 😉

I heard “Something ‘Bout Love” on radio tonight on Mix 107.9 online, the Utah station! Waiting for “Elevator” now. They played “Elevator” once tonight but I missed it. They said they would play it again. What a thrill to hear David’s voice, other than “Crush” on radio!
Dayzee#114 I love TAGGB, too! It’s a pick-me-up when you’re feeling down…and a feel-good song all the way around.

Jennette seems like a sweet girl. I don’t think David will be judgemental about her dress, although, yeah, it’s probably not to his liking. I guess it’s what they put outhere for girls to wear.

#127 I like that picture of David and Jennette. They look good together.
Anyway, I don’t know what to do with myself. I will always love and support David, don’t get me wrong. But I’m feeling like the stars are not quite lining up with this second pop album. I maybe worrying way too much about nothing. I think it’s because I don’t know what to think with this music business thing. SBL is a great song and I loved it right away but it has not picked up steam since a few weeks ago. And now the next single Elevator is released and I don’t think it’s that great of a song, but what do I know. Maybe I don’t know what’s good for radio and what’s not.
I really, really hope and pray that Elevator will do much better than SBL. I would be very sad to see 2 singles of his that would never get a day in the top 40 sun. I also hope and pray that he will have a band performing with him in these gigs he is doing. These acoustic shows don’t have the “wow!” effect for me. Just David’s voice isn’t doing it for me with these mid tempo songs. (Please Jive, pay for a band.) I don’t want to say this but I have to be honest. The songs seem to fall in the category of “not as memorable” and the fact that he seems to have a hard time hitting those high notes is emphasized without the backing of a band. I can see tomatoes flying in my direction. So sorry but I have to voice this frustration I have with whoever is responsible for these gigs. Please provide the band, I beg you.
I don’t know. Why am I so worried about a 19 year old’s career in music? I think it’s because I love him and I really, really want him to succeed. Yes, my ODD is off the wall. I wished I never have this ailment but there is no escaping it. I will always love David until the day I die.

Anw, after 5 attempts in 18 hours, here is David’s interview with Q107.5/Q96.1 Memphis, TN – I set it to pix from the Delta Music Festival. Great to see how huge the crowd was – enjoy!!!

I will ‘Trust the Archuleta” on the way this album is being handled. Things have changed in how music is promoted and sold. There is little that makes sense here. Making a video for a song that isn’t being called a single? This may explain why David was not talking about the song in glowing terms. It seems to be one of the parts to the whole album, not the feature. Very confusing. He is doing things his way by having Elevator promoted as the first single. He is learning the business. We may not agree on what is happening, but in the end talent will win out. David has a broad range of styles. Whether radio stations get him and will play his music is debatable. He needs a “hit” that they can grab onto for replays.
I don’t worry that he has no band for the “radio” promotional appearances. Notice I didn’t say “shows”. Think back to when the first CD was promoted, he was going to all the radio stations there was only him and his keyboard. That’s how it’s done.
I know one thing to be true, David loves to sing. He loves being with fans. Some singers do not become radio hit makers, they tour and sing to fans. CFTH CD proves this point. That was purely for the fans, and we supported the tour in droves. I will support David in his career unconditionally.

aww. love this pic(137) Abrra. Such a sweetheart, our David.I too “trust the Archuleta”
I have never followed anyone’s singing career,like this, ever… until David came along. Many of us have now followed him so closely,it’s been almost like Truman tv. I think I have watched video(s) of David, every day for 2 years.That’s incredible.to me.
Mandi 134….we love David.We love him so much, and want everything to be perfect for him because we all know he is destined for greatness. It will happen. It IS happening.He’s learning how things work in the business,and he is going to have his ups and downs and make mistakes, (or someone will) I actually think his new cd will do very well. as you said Abrra, “talent will win out.”
I have a feeling David may be asked to appear as a guest on Glee at some point.
(Josh Groban shot to overnight stardom,singing on a tv show called Ally McBeal. Remember?)
