The Cleveland Conclusion

Like I said, I ended up sporting a wristband with the number 15 on it, which is equivalent to my age in ODD years, I think. So when the doors to Pete’s Grill were finally opened, I was (O. M. G. like I am srly spazzing, this made my LIFE!!!!!) among the first to enter. We were led straight to the rear of the restaurant and to a door which opened onto an enclosed courtyard but for now, was locked. We tried it. Just being that close to that door though had definite advantages, as the upper part of the door was glass. To put it bluntly, we could press our noses against it and see into the enclosed courtyard. We had a good view of the stage and just in front of it were assembled several rows of vacant chairs. Not enough to accommodate everyone who had a VIP so there would be a lot of standing room only after these were filled. From our vantage point, we saw Mike and David come out *squeee!* and do a quick sound check and leave. Not long after, the door was opened and we filed into the second row and sat down directly in front of his keyboard. I say we, meaning Tofan and Refnaf, who sat to my left, and Marciami and Funny Girl who sat to my right. There was a place set up in the courtyard to order food and drinks before the performance started. I couldn’t even think about eating, my mouth was so dry from excitement I could barely swallow. Funny Girl went to get some food and I asked her to get me a Diet Dr. Pepper and if they don’t have that, get me a Diet Coke. Of course, she returns with Coke since, for reasons known only to those whose sole purpose for being is to squander their existence on a never-ending quest to ruin my life, Diet Dr. Pepper is not found in most restaurants in this country. ahem. I adjust my wristband marked with the number 15, sip my Diet Coke and enjoy the pause that refreshes. It was a beautiful day, not too hot or cold and the sky above was as blue as the bluest sky that ever was. The courtyard filled up fast with every age and demographic represented. The usual suspects were in attendance, women of all ages and teens, but quite a few guys too. There was music playing from speakers but I didn’t really hear it except as background noise. Just one song following another and all following a predictable formula. Radio muzak.
Mike comes out with his guitar and sits on a stool. We all know what’s coming next and I look to my left and here he comes! He bounds onto the stage smiling radiantly. He is a spectrum of light as real as a sunbeam. He starts talking and it turns into a ramble of epic proportions even for David. His joy is palpable. We listen to him talk about begging for extra credit, his lack of drawing skills, his voice changing, a woman in a window on the second floor is engaged in conversation, who is the youngest? “well thanks for coming out” he tells an 18 month old baby. The oldest? (I guess that’s too rude, he says, lol), on and on. I realize my face is hurting from smiling and laughing so hard. If only he tried to be cool like most every other entertainer, if he tried to impress me, I could resist, but there is no resisting such unaffected, guileless charm.
You have all seen the YouTube videos of his performance that day. It was so fun to be there when he involved the whole audience in Elevator, including the guys and the camera man. His vocals were perfection and more. That more is the difference between art and imitation. He connects so tightly and so genuinely and he makes it look so easy.
After the concert was over we lined up by number for the meet and greet and group picture, eight in each pic. I was in the second group and when it was my turn to go up to him, I wasn’t prepared. It was too soon begun and done. I wasn’t ready to walk up and see him look up at me and smile with recognition in his iridescent eyes, and say, “Hey, how’re YOU doing?” I suddenly became all business-like and extended my hand for him to shake saying, “I’m good, and you?” Then I shoved my liner notes in front of him as if I was getting him to sign a contract. Why? I don’t know. Because he’s David Archuleta and because he looked at me, ma. He scrawled a huge autograph and I took it from him and started to walk away without another word. Then I remembered his gift that I had taken from the breakfast buffet that morning. I reached into my purse and placed 2 boxes of Honey Nut Cherrios in front of him. He looked a little confused and I said, “That’s so you don’t have to pay eight dollars.” We laughed. 😆

Thank you Angelica for your series of stories. We need stories especially to hold us over while enduring the wait for tour news.
I just finished a story of my own to the local radio station not only requesting “Falling Stars” but I gave a written introduction to David and his upcoming events (and past) also reminding them of “Christmas From the Heart” so perhaps they will include songs from that CD in their programming for December.
Wow, it was hard not to go on and on about him but I didn’t want them to think that I am CRA-Zeeh!
Let’s see what happens to my first attempt at radio promotion as they have my email address and they will respond.
My time here with David is limited so I hope this makes a difference in this part of the world.

I clearly remember the overwhelming feelings I had, the first time I saw David take to a stage,in person.I remember literally gasping, at the total beauty and energy of the figure that had just bounded onto that stage, flashing the most beautiful smile I have ever seen.
He totally disarms you.Then, he sings.then you are toast.

Dang it! Angelica–the end is a happily, forever after, raspberry-lemonade cupcake kind of final chapter. You made my heart swoosh with ‘He bounds onto the stage smiling radiantly. He is a spectrum of light as real as a sunbeam.’ It really does catch you unprepared, even tho’ you’ve been waiting, and expecting, for hours. You just have it all figured out how it’s gonna be when he steps/bounds onto the stage, and then it’s all gone in a flash when he actually comes out.
Thanks for taking us there with you.:)

“He connects so tightly and so genuinely and he makes it look so easy.”
I am in love with that “Elevator” and how the audience is so ready to satisfy him by singing along to his commands.

Angelica,
I hate for this recap to end because it’s been so much fun to read. You’ll just have to go to a lot more shows so you can write for us! I haven’t seen David in a full concert yet, but I’m sure going the next time he tours. Well maybe not Asia, but closer — though I have suggested we charter a plane to Asia & have 3 going in on it so far. You’re welcome to come as our roving reporter. We’ll be sleeping in the plane at night. If you could arrange to pick up a few hundred boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios from hotels for us, it would be appreciated as it will cut breakfast costs.
I saw David at Zoo-A-Palooza and had VIP but didn’t shake his hand or even introduce myself. I mumbled something about having a good time singing and that was it. Then I went to the Orla Fallon Christmas taping. When you watch, if you see someone with an incredibly huge, stupid looking grin who is clapping maniacally as if her life depended on it, it was me (or any number of other women in the audience) because they made us smile and clap for an hour before the show began so they could take crowd pics. We did it all over again for real with standing ovations when David came out. I totally know that “unpreparedness” to come face-to-face with David, but I still don’t understand why exactly. At least you shook his hand. I’ve yet to do that.
“His joy is palpable.” “…there is no resisting such unaffected, guileless charm.” Those statements are so TRUE. Thanks again for your stellar recaps. Keep more coming! Pattie

Is the People’s Choice runner-up poll closed? It doesn’t seem to be working.
Dumb question: When I go on Allaccess to stream Falling Stars, I turn on the repeat button on the Media Player. Am I supposed to do something different? Just want to make sure it counts.
Gayle122890 said

One more thing: How often can you vote at the People’s Choice poll? I just tried it again and it let me vote 🙂
Gayle, The People’s Choice Polls are still up and running with two days left to vote. I’ve been voting about once an hour but some people are clearing their cache and cookies, enabling them to vote more often. I tried that but it didn’t seem to work for me.
You can use these links:
http://www.peopleschoice.com/pca/polls/poll.jsp?pollId=60300001
http://www.peopleschoice.com/pca/polls/poll.jsp?pollId=61100002
To nominate David for Best Male Artist, please type in his name in the space provided in the lower left. Be sure to check the box first.
http://www.peopleschoice.com/pca/nominations/vote.jsp?pollId=110033
For Falling Stars, I’m inclined to believe, unless someone tells me differently that if you click “Play Again” each time, it picks up the count rather than leaving it on “Repeat”.
Links to request Falling Stars
(Since the song is brand new, it’s probably not yet on their list. Go to the bottom right and write in “Falling Stars” and the other info including your zip code, email etc.)
http://www.alliholics.com/board/index.php?/topic/27-request-info-for-radio-stations-in-every-state-in-alphabetical-order/

Every time I watch the “extra Credit” ramble or the “seriously guys?” or the baby thing from this day I find this loopy grin on my face. He is joy from every angle. Today’s vlog was for me, more about watching his eyes than listening to his words. He’s so bemused by all that’s going on around him and while he’s sort of the cool older brother, his sisters take no notice. It’s all just so regular and so rare for a celeb. He wouldn’t have it any other way.

This killed me, you are smart to have thought of that as a gift and I for some reason know that meant the world to him. We hang on to his every word and with your gift it let him know we are paying attention. Gosh I love him.
Was looking at David’s vlog, so timely, loved his tone with his sister on the pumpkin abuse, so big brotherish and then I noticed his tags on his vlog. Is for real. They tell a story on there own.

This time round, the American Idol 2008 runner up will perform in an exclusive showcase on November 14 (Sunday). Fans would have to purchase the new Nokia N8 from SingTel to gain access to this exclusive event for now.”

Taking a little break from requesting to take care of a little business here:
Regarding requesting, each radio station’s website looks different. Sometimes there’s a big prompt to click on that says “Request a Song”. That’s easy.
But other times, you have to really look for it. Have patience. If you don’t find it, there’s usually a “Contact Us” where you can write in the name of the song, David’s name and other info they require.
Links to request Falling Stars, Elevator and Something ‘Bout Love:

Wow, I hope they don’t start doing that here. I can see a lot of merchandise being purchased that we don’t really need. Enough to fill a garage or attic! haha.
Thanks for that wonderful mgr Abrra. My favorite part is when he asks Jazzy, “Why don’t you show them your pumpkin?” and then he waits for her to bring it. He looks over at her and looks back at us as if to say…sisters…and wipes his head with his hand on each side. I’ve seen him do that before. I love her little laugh and ramble and her wee little hands taking the pumpkin back from him. I have to replay that over and over. I also love how his home so often has balloons and ribbons and crepe paper hanging from the ceiling. They seem to always be finding a reason to celebrate.

How can one person calmly sitting talking about pumpkins and costumes and mazes be so captivating, and enough so that you watch it over and over… aye yie yie.

Great! Turn a thought into an action and make David feel our love and support. Solid !
On Nov 4th when David’s cd was out the first day here, my husband rushed down to the cd shop to get one for me. He saw secondery school in uniforms singing something bout love , jumping up and down and hugging each other right outside the shop. The casher shaked her head and said they were so crazy. But as you can see , young girls couldn’t afford to buy new phones (plus sign up a 2 yr contract with phone company)to see David, those who buys the phones don’t really cherish the free passes to see David ! It looks so unfair to me . Ah! Whose idea is that ?! It Really can’t compare to Glady’s!
In the morning my 6 yr old son and I were so happy to know that we finally can meet our favorite person on earth in person but after reading the fine prints from the phone deal, my son crawled under the bed and claimed if they don’t give him the tickets he’s going to stay there forever!!! Sigh…..we are two flatten balloons now

It says “for now.” So maybe it will change and become a regular ticket sales thing when they meet their quota. Never heard of that kind of gimmick. Keep the faith. I believe it will come to pass for you and your son to see him.

From Alfredo’s MySpace:
Guitarist Alfredo Herz
Born in the city of Orizaba and raised in Cordoba both in the state of Veracruz, Mexico, Alfredo began playing guitar at the age of 15.
Influenced by players such as Greg Howe, Jimi Hendrix and Slash amongst others, Alfredo would spend time playing with his friends without taking music seriously, until he decided to move to the U.S.
Alfredo spent a few years playing on the road with all kinds of bands that ranged in numerous styles. In 1998, Alfredo was reviewed in the guitar nine records website as one the “undiscovered artists” for the month of September. Afterwards he took a trip to Easton, PA to study with his favorite guitar player: Greg Howe. Ever since, Alfredo has participated in, and won guitar competitions held in the Twin cities area by Guitar center and Mars music, and received positive feedback by internationally recognized guitar players and artists.
Not only as a guitar player alone but also as a band member he has won competitions and achieved honors that range from winning 1st place in his home state of Veracruz, Mexico at the “Yamaha-Coca cola music quest ’94”, winning numerous “battles of the bands”, live radio performances, and some of his bands have shared the stage with national acts such as: Cake, Helmet and Sixpence none the richer among others.
Alfredo is not only known for his technical skills playing the guitar, but also his versatility and high energy stage performance, which can range from playing in the back of the stage as a supporting musician to doing cart-wheels on stage, running and jumping around, playing with the tongue, with the guitar behind his head, with his fret board hand upside down and interacting with the crowd and band mates. He is also know for being able to sing lead and background vocals in English and Spanish, his work ethic, his respectful manners toward other band mates, his drive and his positive attitude. His understanding of music gives him the ability to be a music director, if need be. All the drums in his CD were programmed and edited by him (approximately 100,000 hits total), he played all instruments, produced, mixed and mastered it.
Alfredo has performed live in national television and has also been invited to give seminars at McNally/Smith college of music, and to write articles as a guest columnist for guitar magazines online such as: http://www.guitarnine.com, http://www.chopsfromhell.com, cutaway guitar magazine from Spain (www.cutawayguitarmagazine.com), and guitarz-for-ever (www.guitarz_for_ever.com). He has been partially involved in the editing for Greg Howe’s instructional video seminars (www.ghworkshops.com).
Currently Alfredo is endorsed by VHT amplification (www.vhtamp.com), Inferno guitars (www.myspace.com/infernoguitars), Do Denim clothing (www.dodenim.com), the guitar wheel (www.guitarwheel.com) and xotic effects (www.xoticeffects.com).
Right now Alfredo can be seen playing around Hollywood and doing sessions. His first instrumental CD “RAW” is now available on Itunes. Some of his tracks can already be heard in the shows “Guitar Radio” on KRVM 91.9 FM, Eugene/Springfield Oregon, “Let There Be Rock” Boschtion (Netherlands) Cable FM 87.5/Radio FM 95.2, “Shames World” Kirchdorf and Oberösterreichand (Austria) 90.4 FM, IMRadio.com and Global Radio Network.

And clearly we weren’t the only ones! His flawless renditions of Robbie Williams’ “Angels,” John Lennon’s “Imagine,” and The Miracles dance tune “Shop Around,” led Archie all the way to the AI finals where he came in second.

CD Review: David Archuleta – The Other Side Of Down
Written by Dan Savoie on Sunday, 31 October 2010 01:04
American Idol alumni David Archuleta returns with his second studio outing of new material, The Other Side Of Down, which contains a solid collection of original songs. Unlike his first album, Archuleta had a hand in writing every song on the album, which is not only a pleasant surprise, but provides a much need personal approach to the music.
The fairly upbeat album is a solid collection of pop songs and showcases why the young singer was so popular on the American talent show. His voice is beyond his years and gives the lyrics more maturity than they were probably written to have. He shines a bit more on his ballads like Falling Stars, Things Are Gonna Get Better and My Kind Of Perfect.
If the album suffers from anything, it’s the similarity of the beats in the first half of the album, which hits on a good pop beat and continues until nearly half way through when it’s finally broken up by Falling Stars. From that point on the album takes a few more creative and much needed twists and turns to round out a more fulfilling release.
There are quite a few tracks that will be radio singles from this release, but my favourite is Parachutes And Airplanes, an exciting song with a nice chorus and great beat. It has enough depth that it could have be sung by Michael Bolton.
David Archuleta has shown an incredible growth with this album. Maybe it’s because of his greater input or maybe it’s because it’s his third release (including 2009’s Christmas From The Heart). Whatever the case may be, it’s nice to see Archuleta as a singer and as a songwriter.

I learned a long time ago, when I was a fan of other solo artists, not to get attached to their band members.
The nature of the business is such that musicians have to support themselves in between albums, when the artist is not touring. As a result, they move on as other opportunities arise.
More to the point and with due respect to David’s band members, past and present, David is a young evolving artist. His band will most likely continue to change the more he changes.

OK, I’m gonna be contrary today since I’m a “witch” today (some would say I’m a witch most days anyway)…so here goes..
I think Falling Stars is beautiful, mainly because David’s vocals makes it so. But it is NOT HIM. I personally think David recorded the song for TOSOD because Eman wrote his monster hit “Crush”. But FS is not indicative of what David wanted his album to reflect. Even so, David is not crazy & probably knew FS would be a heavy favorite by his fans. I don’t think however, he thought FS would overtake HIS own compositions which he worked so hard on & is so proud of, songs like Elevator. And what about the others? Why was FS so heavily favored among David’s fans? I’m really curious. Lovely as it is, it’s a “downer” song with sad lyrics. David used his genius to create great songs using his quirky way with words & melodies that stick with us. With me anyway. After one listen to the song TOSOD, the melody & lyrics were in my head, same with STR, and Look Around which has some of the best lyrics I have ever heard, and Who I Am is like being in that cab with David, just a great play with lyrics & melody. Then there’s Good Place and TAGGB, can’t say enough about those except David gave us his all with those gems. David gave us a look at what he says is his dorkyness with P&A and a peek into his dreams with Elevator. And then there’s the most poignant song straight from David’s heart, MKOP which pierces my heart every time I hear it. So with all these songs, what is it about FS that has everyone spazzing? It has to be David’s vocals. I doubt any other singer could have done justice to it. Eman is very smart. He is a brilliant songwriter and could have collaborated with David to compose a song more in keeping with who David is and what he wanted for his album, but instead Eman had FS and had only one singer in mind to sing it. Very smart indeed.
So IMO as lovely as FS is, and along with Complain, the other song which I also think is very good mainly because of David’s vocals were put in the album because of loyalty or whatever. IMO. 🙂
In all honesty, I was kinda shocked SBL was chosen to be the first single AFTER I heard all the other gems in the album co-written by David. And disappointed. Jive did not keep David’s best interest’s in mind with that decision, IMO.
My opinions which are many, notwithstanding, Falling Stars seems to be THE HIT song from David’s album, GO Falling Stars! Go David! Next year when David sings HIS songs HIS way, live on tour for us (recalling DLG), he’ll “show” us what he had in mind when he wrote them. IMO. 😉 😀
Happy Halloween everyone!

hello people!
Djafan, thanks for the video from York! just beautiful. Way to go David,Mr.Thudmeister…gah!
I have only seen David live twice, but I have to say, I never really paid attention to the band either time. My focus was only on David, and the VOICE. Everything else sort of faded away for me, and he was all I really saw on the stage.
If he is going to have musicians with him, I wish for them to be only the best, and to respect the artist, and the person that David is.
To be honest, there have been a couple of times, when David would be talking a little and the band would just start playing and cut him right off, mid sentence. Not the case anymore, but you know what I mean? That always ticked me off a bit, (no matter what the reason people came up with for it,I didn’t like it)
(This new guitarist certainly has quite a resume.)

Silverfox,
I’m one of those fans who is spazzing like crazy for “Falling Stars”. I cannot get enough of hearing David sing it, whether on the cd, on youtubes or anything I can get my hands on.
Why, you ask? Why, “Falling Stars”?
There are a few reasons:
1) I’m a sucker for romantic love songs.
2) I love it’s moving lyrics, about a painful breakup, plus it’s seductive melody. I’m in love with the way the song starts out slowly and builds to a tremendous crescendo at the end and then lets you down gently.
3) When you add the magnificent voice of David Archuleta to a song with these attributes, it takes it to another level. David’s voice knocks that song right out of this stratosphere! David tells the painful story and, without fail, makes me well up with emotion every time.
I love all the songs on TOSOD. Besides FS, my favorites are TOSOD, MKOP and STR but “Falling Stars” does it for me like no other. It has NOTHING to do with who wrote the song. It has EVERYTHING to do with David’s delivery as it has always been, starting from the very first time I heard his voice on “American Idol”.
SF, Tomorrow marks one year that we met at the Taj Mahal in Altantic City! Can you believe one whole year has gone by? Just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed the time we spent together having brunch, waiting around for the VIP, the VIP and the soundcheck. 😀

So now there’s a new drama…just what David doesn’t need right now…
David has had what…about five guitarists accompanying him at any given time if you count the base players, and so what? Does it really matter who’s in the band? Mike was nice, he got along well with some of the fans. He was nice to me & my sister. And he liked the attention he got as David’s guitar & collaborator.
But he was an employee and when there’s Management changes, employees come & go. That’s just the way it is in business and “David Archuleta” is a business.
As for the new guitarist, has there been an official announcement of him becoming David’s guitarist from WEG? Is it really that important that there even will be an official announcement? Or will he just “be there” when David performs again?
I don’t care one way or another. All I care about is that David is happy with the choice. I care that the band members like & respect David as the boss and as the great vocalist he is. I care that they realize David has high personal & professional standards for himself. He does not impose his personal standards but expects the highest professional standards from those who work for & with him. I care that they have studied David and realize David is a genius who changes-up songs at the drop of a hat so they have to be ready and able to keep up. I care that they are as excited to be working for David as his fans are excited to see David perform live. I care that the band KNOWS who the STAR IS, even if the STAR is humble, completely free of ego & so thankful to be on that stage like he doesn’t deserve it or something. I care that the band knows all this when they are hired and that they are in complete awe when they witness how David holds his audiences in rapturous, mesmerizing, hypnotizing, heartrending, and loving captivity when he’s on & even off stage. I care that they KNOW who David Archuleta is and how fortunate they are to be in his band even if it may only be temporary.
That’s what I care about. Not that anyone cares what I care about. I just thought I’d put it out there. So whoever the new guitarist happens to be, if it this Alfredo who is a brilliant guitarist, congratulations! And to Mike, maybe we’ll see you again with David. Stranger things have happened. 😉
Another thing I care about is whether my request out of the 1.5 million requests for tickets to the MoTab Christmas Concert, will be selected. Not good odds but you never know? 😀

Bebe, have to agree with you about Falling Stars. It is the first song, after hearing all the songs at first, that I started repeating over and over again. I have my other favorites on the album as well, but FS is wayyy up there. Many songs on David’s first album didn’t exactly “fit” him but I loved them all anyway. He sings each song as if they do fit and that is what makes him such a great artist. I absolutely love the variety of “thoughts” on this album. But I am most anxious, as I know everyone here is, to see him in concert singing the ones that mean the most to him where he can pour his heart out. Just the thought of it makes me weak.

Agree with your hope that David makes oodles of money from FS, cause his vocals is what makes FS what it is. Don’t misunderstand me. FS is great but if sung by another artist, I don’t think it would be as good. I just happen to think some of the other songs are just as good. But then, I’m not an expert. I’m just happy there is finally a song from the album which seems to have Jives blessing. Hope so anyway. 😀
I love romantic love songs too, and David can sing anything including the beautiful songs about experiences he says he has not yet had. That he can sing those type songs about love found, lost & found again, with all the angst & heartbroken feelings he puts forth in his vocals and performances shows his brilliance & genius as a performer, so much so that we forget he really has never had those experiences and we are amazed. Also his ability to make us BELIEVE him when he sings about experiences he’s never had, is a sign that David has what it takes to be a great actor if he chooses to go that route someday, when he loses more of his inhibitions and owns his beauty & sensuality. IMO, of course.
Good night bebe, & anyone else still here tonight. 🙂

Hi all,
SF, You pose some interesting questions and observations, love when you do this.
For me although I love FS, well actually I love all of them. They take turns getting under my skin, right now it’s Good Place, followed by TOSOD and Look Around. A few days ago it was The Day After Tomorrow and Who I Am. Really difficult, suffice to say I don’t skip a single song, I do hit shuffle so I don’t know what song is coming up next on my ipod.
I’ve tried to understand the why of FS, from my survey with my family members, I got these answers, it’s emo, it has a rockish vibe, his voice, it’s makes you cry, he sings it real good. These answers from non ODD’ers ages 13 to 33.
For me I’ve decided that the song at this point is irrelevant, as long is it gets the promo and attention it deserves. I think this will bring attention to the entire album, because in all reality it is a work of art…imho.

I want David to make the decisions that are in his best interest. I can speculate all I want but we don’t know what goes on behind the scenes and don’t really care too.
I’m optimistic that TOSOD is going to gain attention slowly but surely.

Aww I hadn’t watched those videos in a while.
Emmegirl, the background vocals are so captivating. I confess that I don’t tune them in immediately. I listen quite a few times absorbing David singing and then they start making there move into my brain. Love what he does with them. Listen to The Day After Tomorrow, beautiful David background vocals.
awww abrra! Love seeing David with the little ones.

Skydancer#112 “…Didn’t E-Man also write Crush? or was it Hodges? (or both of them? I’ve forgotten.
“Crush” and “Falling Stars” have the same three writers: Emanuel Kiriakou, Jess Cates and Dave Hodges.
Correction: “Falling Stars has 2/3 of the same writers as “Crush”.
The writers for “Falling Stars” are Eman, Jess Cates and Claude Kelly.
Pattirae#115 “But I am most anxious, as I know everyone here is, to see him in concert singing the ones that mean the most to him where he can pour his heart out. Just the thought of it makes me weak.”
David takes all of his songs to new dimensions when he sings them LIVE! MKOP is so heartfelt LIVE, TOSOD and STR are so much fun, LIVE! We’ve only seen a few so far and by the time the TOSOD comes along he will have perfected all of them. *faints*
Silverfox#118 “Agree with your hope that David makes oodles of money from FS, cause his vocals is what makes FS what it is. Don’t misunderstand me. FS is great but if sung by another artist, I don’t think it would be as good.”
We’re on the same ticket, SF. I totally agree with you.
Abrra#127 There’s something about seeing pics of David and babies that makes us all giddy!

Another glowing review of TOSOD
from “Mommy’s Minute Blogspot”
The Other Side of Down is the latest release from American Idol runner-up, David Archuleta. This latest release has an overwhelmingly positive message. I love that it’s family-friendly with content that’s safe for ears of all ages.
While it’s nothing shockingly new or innovative, it has a great overall sound, catchy lyrics, and a varied set of songs. Archuleta showcases his vocal talent that fans of American Idol season eight grew to expect and anticipate. I definitely appreciated the wide range of songs. There is a good mix of upbeat pop songs and slower ballads.
My favorite has to be “Falling Stars,” a soulful song of love lost. The song showcases Archuleta’s vocal range. I also enjoyed the message of the song “Complain.”
Cause I don’t always get everything I wanted
Doesn’t turn out just the way I thought it all should be
Baby, I can’t complain
No more wasting my time looking in the mirror
Wishing my life was a little bit clearer
No way – Baby, I can’t complain
If you’re looking for something edgy, look elsewhere. It’s not cutting edge, it’s not Lady Gaga (thank goodness), but it is a highly enjoyable, optimistic offering from the teenage sensation.

Love all the good reviews the album is getting. I have to disagree that Falling Stars needed David’s vocals to be a hit. I think several other male singers could have done well with it. That is one reason it’s one of my favorites on the album…because it’s a really beautiful song in its own right. I have the mp3 of a piano cover with no vocals at all someone did of it and tweeted the link to Eman. I love the mature sound and just like Bebe said, “I’m in love with the way the song starts out slowly and builds to a tremendous crescendo at the end and then lets you down gently.”
When he moves into “You tell me it’s not possible,no way that we could break” the pain in those simple piano keys that accompany his voice is almost too beautiful to bear for me. He also moves on stage in a more mature way when he performs this song, ala “The Mr. Confidence” videos made by Abrra. Watch him work the stage. He takes what could be a cheesy song, if sung in his usual style, into a pop/rock anthem of heartache. He steps out of his comfort zone and it is thrilling to me to see and hear. Here is David talking about, Falling Stars. Quote, “I felt like it was OK to have one song that was just a genuinely, truly, amazing song. I think that song is one of them.”

Angelica, my mutual nightowl,
Thanks for bringing that video here, of David discussing “Falling Stars”. I’d been meaning to take a look at it again because I don’t think we’d heard the full song when davidarchuleta.com released that particular clip. Because of my personal feelings for the song, I was curious to hear anything David had to say about it. After watching the video I see that he, too, sees the same magic we see.
Perhaps as you say, several other singers could do well with the song but I’m thrilled for us that Eman saved it for David.
I hope “Falling Stars” gets out there and does well. I hope any and all of the singles from TOSOD is successful. You can’t predict these things; it’s all a guessing game. Sometimes the song that is least likely, becomes a hit!

Good morning all, and good luck to everyone who requested tickets for the MoTab Concert. Funny how I never would have known about this yearly event if not for David…again! He has opened my small lttle world to a host of good things, one of which is this…
Being able to speak my mind & opinions, have an open dialog & discussion with others who may or may not agree with me, but in the end it’s all about our mutual love & admiration for David Archuleta The Voice.
THIS is what I love about this & some other sites. Some days I have something to contribute & other days I can’t find words…for instance, the large photo of the bieber. 😦

I have to give the Bieber credit where credit is due and I have not fairly done that yet. His management has done a great job for him and we see the results quite clearly. The timing has been right in the industry for Justin for all that he has to give. I believe that I have been a bit envious in the fact that it has worked out for him with his management at the same time watching David with his but the days and weeks ahead are looking to be fantastic.
Back to the tickets! I will beg and borrow but promise I will not steal to capture a ticket that has been declared the most difficult ticket to possess in the world. Why am I not totally discouraged?

I have a fun story. I was at work yesterday, working mostly in the Halloween aisle. We have a hidden cd player, (hidden behind the Russell Stover, lol) playing this awful Halloween music. I decided that I couldn’t take it another minute. I ran out to my car and brought back my #TOSOD. Stuck it in the player and played it until we closed. Every time I walked by it, I turned it up louder, Idk why.
Within an hour or two, my front cashier had a couple favorites and was bopping around to Elevator. And she couldn’t stop singing Look Around. She had never heard any of these songs before.
She said she was going to buy it tonight. Said she saw the cd at Costco and now was going back to get it. 🙂
My photo tech on duty, (21 yr old guy) asked me if I brought in a mixed tape. Said it sounded good. I told him no, it was brand new music. 🙂 And left it at that. Sometimes I feel it’s better to let people find things rather than hit them over the head with them. (I saw him checking out the case later, haha)
We are setting up our full Christmas aisle this week. Guess which cd will be playing for the next 7 weeks? ♥

Angelica, I’ve discussed this with bebe time and time again, I think David has ruined me, while I’ll agree that another singer may do FS justice, for me it won’t create the magic. My ears hear beautiful singing and wonderful songs when David is not involved, but there is no magic. David ruined my hearing.

Now to correct a misunderstood comment made by me at 134 about the photo of Bieber posted here. Angelica thought I was offended by it but I was not offended at all! I knew it was posted as a joke. My point was that Bieber is all over the place, has mountains of publicity, good, bad & ridiculous, so I was dismayed, not offended, to see his photo here. I guess I get a little upset & maybe envious when I see him getting all the kudos David should be getting. Not to mention he will be appearing here in our brand new 27000 seat arena in a couple of weeks which I will never understand. Of course, I do realize David will have a long lasting career, or for as long as he wants it, and poor Bieber…well, I guess we’ll have to wait & see. (The photo of David under Bieber’s though, was to die for!). 😀

Want to say how much I agree with what you said about FS #110. I just love it. To me he just nails the emotion in this beautiful song. Using his amazing voice in some new ways, it is “painfully but simply” sung. David takes songs like this to another plane for me, I’m feeling what he is feeling, and life isn’t always Up.
I don’t understand the argument that this song “isn’t David” so it is not as good. That is goofy thinking. David shouldn’t have to believe or experience everything he sings about. Have to remember, that would mean no “Contigo”. Even the thought of THAT makes me gasp!! I hope Falling Stars is a huge hit. It sure is with me.

Perfectly expressed. He has affected my hearing so much that I can only hear his voice in a song – especially those he’s covered. Every time a song by the original artist is playing (ie – One) and someone with me comments that it’s a favorite of theirs – all I hear is David’s voice. Very strange…..

So happy for everyone going to Motabs! There will be stories for a year. Or ten. 🙂
There was never a chance for me to go and I am fine with that. I was lucky enough to see David at two Christmas concerts last year. (Ok, and twice last month, lol) (I’ve been told not to bother asking for any time off until January)
I am so very happy for you all. 🙂 🙂
I can’t wait for the stories of friends meeting for the first time. That’s really one of my favorite things.

Congrats to all who have tickets for the MoTab!!! That is SO cool! Especially for you who plan on traveling into the state.
And for you who do not? Well, I don’t think I will be getting any either! So if any of you want to wait in line with me… I am a very good “wait-in-liner”. Good times are us.
It is fun to think of DA in the East of East again. Have a great time, DA!! And come back with laughter, health and energy for the Christmas concert. Be safe!!

Ha ha Emmegirl,
are you reviewing David’s AI7 performances? I like “Shop Around” too, especially the part when David turned his neck like a Diva and Said “Gotta find the one that’s ganna give true love man(?)”.
The first time i saw David and fell in love with him was when Ryan Seacrest said: you can vote for him, yet you can’t adopt him. The moment David poked Ryan with his elbow and replied “I AM SEVENTEEN!!”. So adorable!!!

Boy those “Golden Tickets” were hard to come by and I say congrats to those of you who got them. I along with 2 of my daughters did not get tickets…I still have another daughter that thinks her husband deleted the e-mail with her confirmation number in it. So we wait to see! I do have a friend that has offered me a couple of tickets if my daughter gets that dreaded e-mail. I am a lucky girl to have friends like I do. Friends I have never met yet they are willing to share.
David has brought together some mighty nice folks if you ask me! Hope to meet some of you wonderful friends come December.

That and your obvious devotion to the super-talented, super special, one-and-only David James Archuleta is a ongoing relationship that I very much enjoy listening to and reading about. You, like David should stay just like you are. Unconditional love. You show it in all you say. David is blessed to have such a loyal fan.
I’m very excited for you to be attending another of David’s epic events. I hope to say hello to you once again and hopefully many more times as we continue on this Archu-journey of musical joy! 😀

WOW! I am shocked at this from Boston PBS. They emailed me today.
“Thank you for your interest in WGBH. We always appreciate hearing from our viewers, listeners, and Web site visitors.
The program you cited, Orla Fallon’s Celtic Christmas show, is not currently scheduled to air on any of WGBH’s channels. However, we will relay your request for WGBH to air this program to our broadcast manager. As to whether the program will be picked up for air in the future, contact us again anytime by phone or email, or visit us at WGBH.org. From our home page, select “Television” from the gold menu banner, then “All Shows A-Z”. If your program is scheduled within two weeks it will be indicated with schedule information.”
Boston is heavily Irish background. Very strange they are passing on this. Hoping the station manager takes a second look .
Grats to all those who won tickets and to those who will be going!

Dear Everyone here who loves David,
I don’t know how it happened but I was struck by a thunderbolt of love and generosity and blessings galore and don’t even have words, except I am freaked out. I won tickets to see David and he will be in Utah with the MoTC! How can this be. I understand that Utah really exists!
I don’t want to seem greedy but I have an extra ticket for Thursday and wonder if anyone would like to trade for one for Friday or Saturday. I am going alone and a Long way so I would love to be able to see another performance. Hoping someone would like to enjoy this amazing chance.
I will let Abrra know since she has my email address. Please feel free to email me if you have a ticket to trade or know someone who does.
I have been scrubbing the carpet and vacuuming and pulling weeds and have had chocolate today. I wish we could all go. I never dreamed.

Poof#198 “…I don’t understand the argument that this song “isn’t David” so it is not as good. That is goofy thinking. David shouldn’t have to believe or experience everything he sings about. Have to remember, that would mean no “Contigo”. Even the thought of THAT makes me gasp!! I hope Falling Stars is a huge hit. It sure is with me.”
David makes magic from any song he sings. Case in point: “Happy Birthday”. And I’m not even kidding! LOL I have high hopes for FS and am trying my best to promote it by requesting, streaming and voting.

From Orla Fallon’s web site:
Órla Fallon’s Celtic Christmas, taped at the beautiful James K. Polk Theater in Nashville, TN, features holiday classics including “Joy To The World,” “I Saw Three Ships,” “Do You Hear What I Hear,” “The First Noel,” “Silent Night,” “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” and many more.
The companion CD and DVD will be released on November 16 nationwide by The Elevation Group. The CD includes duets with Méav and David Archuleta as well as a special version of “Little Drummer Boy,” featuring a duet with 20-time Grammy Award-winner Vince Gill, and the beautifully arranged “Away In A Manger” with Anúna.
“I’m so excited about this TV special,” said Órla Fallon. “I had such a wonderful time recording it. The audience was fabulous, the guests were fabulous…The choir, the band, the orchestra…It was a dream come true.”
“This was my first TV Christmas special,” stated David Archuleta. “Hearing these songs that you grew up listening to, love and hold close to you…with Órla’s voice on them, the way she sings them, it felt very sincere.”
******
To continue her long-standing support of public television, Órla is making tickets to her 2011 concert tour available to public television viewers first in more than 100 markets. Viewers who make a donation to their local public television station during broadcasts of Órla Fallon’s Celtic Christmas can receive these tickets, the companion DVD and a public TV version of the CD, featuring six exclusive bonus songs including a special version of “Silent Night” featuring Grammy Award nominee Jim Brickman, as “thank you” gifts. Órla’s corresponding 50-city tour will run in 2011 from late March through early May and again from late September through mid-November.

Orla’s Celtic Christmas was another memorable event I was so fortunate to share with SB.
I’ll never forget it. It was Orla’s “Special” but once David come on, the tone of the show changed. Most of the audience were there for Orla, but David is the one who got the standing ovations, not just from his fans, but the whole audience which was mostly adults, very few teens stood up in thunderous applause after each of his performances! To say the performers on stage & backstage were surprised would be putting it mildly. They were stunned!
Since this was Orla’s Special, I would be surprised if the Standing-o’s will be in the final recorded version. I think they will use the pre-recorded audience applause they had us do over & over prior to the start of the actual program. I mean, think how it would look they showed David getting the reception fit for a “Star” instead of the actual Star? It just would not do. Of course, Orla was very good & is a beautiful lady who sings like an angel, but David..he sang only three songs, (Melodies of Christmas is not on the DVD apparently), but there was something very special about him that night, almost more so than any other time I have ever seen him. He was shining! He aura was almost blinding. He was a bright shining Star that night, & he was so happy to be there. And so were we. 🙂
Good night!
