This was unbelievable then and now. I’ve been reading twitter and idol blogs and even non “Archie” fans said it should be retired.
Trisha Cyryl Bermejo @i_m_TRISHZ
I like David Archuleta’s IMAGINE than Josua Ledet’s version….
Jed Constantino @constantjed
No one sings IMAGINE as better and heartfelt as David Archuleta in #Idol. Joshua Ledet on the other hand, brutally murdered the song.
@SunnyHilden the judges liked it because it was Joshua. He sang it nice, but still it just was too hard to not compare it with David.
@Nellie1983 Yeah, David’s version of Imagine was so beautiful, so moving it changed people’s lives. I saw the letters! ♥♫☮
WOW!!!
Simon Cowell @IdolBlogs
David archuleta’s version of Imagine was way better than Joshua’s. But I’m glad he ddnt scream on the song. https://twitter.com/#!/IdolBlogs
NJ.COM Singing “Imagine” by John Lennon
Joshua’s rendition of “Imagine” was good but nothing to go crazy over. Such an iconic song, especially one that is known for being so pure and simple, is difficult to do justice and although his rendition was solid, there were times when I felt he was trying to do too much with it. The scream was not necessary. I’m not sure this was the right song to propel him into the finale, either. “Imagine” has been done before in more memorable fashion (David Archuleta comes to mind). Although it was controlled and had beauty to it, it was not unbelievable.

Dear Angelica and all you lovely people:
Perfection indeed. I have missed B-days and other fun times it seems, but my heart and good wishes are always with you fine people.
I will come by as I can.
Love the Imagine. It is what first broke my (futile) resistance. I had no time for the young man from Murray Utah. Or the song, which I thought was a mistaken choice.
*sigh* I love it when God has such benign ways of shattering my take on “what works” and what does not. DA always puts God in the drivers seat. Which is why the vehicle of his voice unites worlds and opens by-ways I have never seen opened in just such a way; people sharing both expanding views as well as intimate, emotional, “road trips”.
It all began in your heart, DA.
I think I can hear it beating even now, all the way from Chile. No doubt in my mind whose heart you listen to.
******
Thanks one and all for keeping this such a fine place. Will be here as I can.

Love the pairing of David and John Lennon. Not for the song, that is a given that they are both musical geniuses. It’s how they each represent the “rebel” in their generation. Staying true to what they believe despite what the majority define as “normal”.
I have been wandering again in the world of pictures. My favorite collages are by @HanneDenmark. She makes many “historical” combos about David’s journey.

Love the well-deserved tribute to David’s “Imagine”, Angelica! David changed many lives for the better from this one performance; it is fitting for it to be honored in this way.
Marlie mentioned Simon Cowell’s tweet at the end of the last thread and djafan found it and brought it here:
Simon Cowell @IdolBlogs
David archuleta’s version of Imagine was way better than Joshua’s. But I’m glad he didnt scream on the song.
I find it interesting that Simon Cowell is on Twitter and tweets excessively about his old show after leaving to do XFactor. I always knew he thought highly of David from the look on his face at David’s first audition to the look on his face at David’s Heaven and then later on at the finale when he called David’s performances a knockout. I believe he meant those words and that they were not part of a set-up many people believe was brought about to make Cook the winner. When David came back to sing “Imagine” two years later on Beatles week, Simon had that same look on his face, one of utter amazement. He may be brash but he could spot talent a mile away.
Bluesky, So good to see you! 🙂

We are so blessed! I was thinking the other day on the way things have turned out with David’s and our lives running parallel to each other. All of us fans were destined to meet either in person or online, so we can keep the “home fires burning” while he is away. Here is just the best place to be!♥

So I had a five-hour drive home from NYC last night and I had listened to a book on tape for a while. I got bored with it. Put on my playlist of David Archuleta songs and realized I had 235 of his songs on my iPod. Some were the albums (multiple copies, I noticed), a lot were mp3’s of live performances (some thanks to Abrra!). So I decided to listen to them alphabetically and the first one was Angels. Right away that brought tears to my eyes… and I had 8 versions of Angels. 🙂
Then a little ways after that was Ave Maria from SLC – sheesh. I’m driving,I can’t tear up!
But it was funny when Ave Maria ended, the next song was Barriers, and the contrast was fabulous – David can sing anything! I only made it to Desperate before I got home, but it was fun! Made the last part of the trip go by quickly as I remembered each performance. Also, I realized that most of the time I watch David sing on videos. Just listening was a slightly different experience and I heard things I hadn’t heard before because I was too busy watching that beautiful face!

@kariontour Thanks to @DavidArchie , Symphonie Jeunesse has been blessed with so many amazing opportunities! We’re preparing for the Sentebale charity event on September 1st, which was organized by a fabulous doctor who saw us perform with him in Anaheim during the MKOC tour back in December 2011. That experience with him encouraged all of us from the orchestra to work harder than ever before so we can succeed and make a name for ourselves in our community. The man in charge originally planned on having David as the main artist for the event so that we could be his orchestra once again, but he’s away on his mission so we found another amazing artist to perform. We’ll also be blessed and reunited with the wonderful band that helped us with so much during the Christmas tour! So.. THANK YOU. Pass the message to David, please? Tell him we all (from Symphonie Jeunesse) say hello and good luck! x

HELP!
I think I’m addicted to Saturday Night chat at The Voice Unplugged! The thing is that I go there not only to watch David’s videos and talk to other fans but also because it’s a good outlet for my ODD. However, now I think I’m addicted to the very thing that was supposed to help my ODD…the chatroom! hahaha
That’s not to say that I didn’t have a blast last night with you all. I did!. Thanks to all who stopped by! 🙂

Sandy Beaches ~ I would love to read your account of your Canadian holiday. Please, elaborate!
I’m wearing my bracelet. Mailed the other 4 off. I’m so appreciative Sandy Beaches and Heidijoy. It was such a great idea and a big hit! Thank you for all the work it took.
I sent a picture of David taken in Gilbert, AZ last September. So cute, that David!
In an earlier post thre was talk of a Spanish album by David. At the Mentor’s Gala David sang with his Mom the doing A Puro Dolor. I looked on youtube and found several recordings by Sons by Four. It is the slower version. It is so beautiful and I would love to hear David sing ot.

Made it home safe and sound. Can’t wait to go again! Weirdest thing, when we got to our hotel, my husband’s bike club was there for a convention. He hadn’t been making the meetings and didn’t know! Busy with the granddaughter’s graduation party, we didn’t make it back to the hotel for any of the fundraising events. We did get there in time to see grown men walking around in drag, with sequined gowns and wigs. Hilarious! There had been a beauty contest I’m sorry we missed. My husband’s club is called Southern Cruisers and everything they do is for St. Jude’s Children Hospital. All their fundraisers and events focus on raising money for this cause.
It seemed that everywhere we went, at every gas station, restaurant or mall, we were stopped by someone to ask if we rode and what kind of bike and all these really conservative, well dressed couples rode bikes too and could not pass up a chance to talk to others who do too. It’s kind of like David fans, where everyone is united by a common love and you never meet a stranger.
At the Welcome Center on the way home, there was jewelry on display in a glass case, We found out it was only sold in another town and called the artist to meet us. My husband drove all that way, out of his way to get me there and had to wait 45 minutes for her to show up. He bought me the necklace and earrings I wanted. Later when we got home,he gave me a big kiss. “What was that for?”, I asked. He said he was just thankful I came with him and said he was so afraid he would do something that would cause me to be scared or hurt. Aww….what a sweet guy he is! I think I will make this a regular tradition that every trip we go, I get a gift! We may go to Hot Springs next at end of month. 🙂 Here is a pic of 6 of my grandkids, the 7th and youngest one is missing. And below them is the jewelry my hubby went to so much trouble to obtain for me. They are all my jewels though, including their grandpa.
What has any of this got to do with David?
M Everything and MORE
Thanks Annmargaret. Living for today and waiting for tomorrow and that promised Spanish album. I may have to take some time off work for about a week as I will be utterly useless.

I can just hear David singing A Puro Dolor.(Oh please David!) I love the slow version, its absolutely beautiful.
Another music icon leaves us.Rest in peace Robin Gibb♥There will never be another group like the Bee Gees, and the brothers Gibb.Such unique voices, and wonderful songwriters. How sad for Barry to have now lost all of his brothers.I loved their music….

Hey that’s great MT! After lunch here and I was pondering another game to add to out time on here and I think I have one! Then my phone buzzed and you were here!
A hot weekend here. Oh forgot that it is not a weekend for everyone.
Well time to enjoy this holiday that we have been given!
There hs a seafood restaurant right beside the ocean that is calling us today so it is time to meet some tourists! There are usually some from Boston and NY.

Enjoyed your road tripping story Angelica! My older sister and her hubby belong to a biker club as well. It was quite a shock to see them pull up to my door a few years back. Here was this guy in leathers and a helmet on a bright yellow “trike” style machine with a sidecar that had a clear bubble covering. Never did I expect my 70 something sister to emerge from the sidecar! They even had radio/ mic set ups in their helmets do they can talk as they ride. I don’t know of they still ride as they have moved to Florida. Now they are officially snowbirds! I shall have to ask her for a picture of them in their glory days of riding with the club.
I know what you mean about having a comraderie in belonging to a club. My daughter and her hubby belong to a car club. They share many occasions as a group just as a family would.
Then there is me. I belong to the BEST family on earth. I am a fan of David Archuleta. I have met such good people along this journey.
Argh! I have spent the morning scanning twitter and google alerts. So much I want to share
but can’t until my tech guy comes over tonight to fix my ailing router.
I blame all errors on my iPhone

Loved the account of your weekend that you treated us to! Kind of like a blog, well yeah this is kinda like a blog too. LOL How blessed you are with such a beautiful family! And you have a gem of a hubby to buy you those amber jewels. They are fabulous and remind me of the color of someone’s eyes. 😉
Skydancer,
I heard about Robin Gibb, too. 😦 And,like you, I was a fan of The Bee Gees. Our generation grew up with their music. They gave us many many memorable songs.
RIP Robin Gibb
SandyBeaches,
Enjoy your holiday and seafood dinner.
Abrra,

love David in any color, but there is something so sexy about him when he wears dark clothes. I think what it does is highlights his eyes and brings out his bone structure, imo.

Another gem from ohnopurple’s tumblr page. Who could survive hearing that said to them? 😉 Jasmine was so strong.
And finally some pics found at http://davidarchuletavn.com from david and Kari’s driver in the Phils. David signed a picture with a message. Maybe this is where he learned the OPM songs?
Ah Robin Gibb will be missed. I am a big fan of the Bee Gee’s. They had a long and prolific career. Their music still stands up today. A perfect harmony blend was a signature to most all their songs.
Rest in peace, Robin Gibb

I read that the driver played Rainbow all the time in the car and David loved it and is the reason he wanted to add it to the album. I love it, especially the “minus one version”. Still sounds like David singing in it to me.
I also loved the Bee Gees. Used to love to disco dance back in the old days! lol R I P Robin
