New from MasterClass Lady and Pamela Pike…
“It was Top 4 week and the theme was songs by Artists from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. David chose Love Me Tender an oldies love song sung by Elvis Presley, in the movie, Love Me Tender.
When a singer attempts an Elvis Presley song the first thing you think is how bad will it sound? Elvis songs have a special place in people’s hearts and cannot be sung by everyone, except for David Archuleta.

How much different will David be when he returns from his mission? We’ve already noted that he will probably have a slight Chilean accent when he speaks English and that he will be fluent in Spanish. Anything else? How different will his performance be of the same song? It’s fun to ponder…

How different will he be? VERY good question.
I am wondering something, and maybe an LDS fans can answer this question.
I remember David saying that singing and dancing is how his family on his mom’s side celebrated holidays. Well, if in Chile they celebrate holidays the same way, would the missionaries ever be invited and would it be okay for him to attend and sing and dance on these occasions?
Because that could result in some spanish influence in his performance. Just wondering.

Hummmm. Not sure how it might be in Chile or if any rules may have changed….. But! I went to a Spanish speaking mission in the USA and the people we were around were mainly from Mexico. They loved to sing and dance and any occasion or gathering with a few people or families was enough excuse for music and fun. When the members met together for fun I loved it! All ages, all the people no matter who or how would get up to dance. The dancing and the music was the fun — no self-consciousness about who you were dancing with, so you got oldies with younger-thans and littles with bigs of all sorts. Total fun! And yes, my companion and I both sang in church – religious songs. They liked our voices and wanted us to sing at one of their parties. We did. They picked the song. It was probably a little heavy on the romantic side and well, we sang it to please them and because we were young. Our mission president (if he had known) would probably just have shaken his head a bit and asked us, “And what did you learn from that, Sisters?” He was a great guy and so very supportive.
I think DA’s influence Spanish-wise will come more from the music he hears all around him while he is there, especially from the lilt and melody of everyday communication more than from any actual performing he does. The music of voices is all around you and you cannot help but pick up on it, become infused with it, consume and breathe it.
He will definitely add much to the repertoire of sound he keeps simmering inside for his lovely, warm, musical muse.
(How ARE things in the kitchen?)
(By the time he gets home, he may need to add a few more cooks!)

chat was so fun last night….my computer, however, apparently couldn’t take the workout I gave it, and seriously crashed on me when I shut it down. Windows wouldn’t close, and now it won’t open..back to the hubby’s laptop (uggghh)!!
Can I share a story that has had me laughing all week? Thanks. My daughter called me the other morning, in tears. She had been feeding her son’s pig that he is raising for the county fair, and it laid down and died right there in the pen. It had been sick,so she was hand feeding it. Anyway, she spent the rest of the morning and most of the afternoon on the phone with pig farmers all over the state locating a replacement pig. She has one on the way. In the mean time, she has become very educated since talking to all these men about the do’s and don’ts of raising pigs. I have had to laugh at what she is doing. I would never have thought that my daughter, the high school cheerleader, fashion savvy lady, hairstylist, wife, and mother of 3 adorable children, would be raising pigs with these children for the county fair. 🙂 When you think you know something/anything, you really don’t. She told her husband she was going to have to go thru de-briefing to get past the trauma of the morning–he laughed.
Anyway, that is totally nothing David related. Maybe it is, they were with me at MKOC in SLC, and l.o.v.e.d it—they even met Dayzee and Heidijoy.
Have a good week, everyone!!! 🙂 🙂

Anytime someone tells me that they have computer issues when coming to Unplugged, I have to remind them to use Google Chrome browser https://www.google.com/chrome The reason being that there is a plug in named flash which is a built in feature of Chrome. It is what your computer needs to play videos on youtube and streaming. Even though you do have Adobe flash installed, it sometimes doesn’t work well with the popular browsers. It must be constantly updated. Out of date flash is the main cause of video freezing and this causes lock ups.
If you use Chrome for going to Unplugged, you won’t have any issues. It has flash built-in and you never have to worry about updating. Just copy the URL in the address bar and hit enter 🙂
