Being David Archuleta
Posted by djafan on Monday, May 21, 2012

I’m left thinking that David will do what David will do. He can come across as submissive and meek, but always he seems to act very deliberately. Like when a DJ asks him a perverse question, and he replies, Huh? causing the DJ to drop the question or when David doesn’t know what to say and he turns the question back to the one who asked it by inquiring, Well, what would YOU do? David is smart and tactful.Β It’s obvious that a faith life is a priority to David. Regardless of any pressure to do or not do a mission, David is a fine young man who can stand on his own two feet. Even though he appears to be searching to learn more about himself and to find out who he really is, I think that who he really is, is carved deeply into his being. Things happened so quickly for David, he didn’t have time to mull them over as he appears apt to do. Perhaps that has caused him to need some time out so that he can do things in his time and in his way. I’m certain that whatever he decides will be a blessing to others. I don’t know one single fan of David that doesn’t respect David and his decisions. We may feel down when we equate success with being in the limelight, because truly David deserves to be in the limelight across the globe and right here in the USA. Nonetheless, we all know David doesn’t equate success with being in the limelight so ultimately, if David is content, we’re content. David has reminded us about the other side of down. Despite how we might come across, we all know this. For someone to spend money to go to his concerts as often as they are able, shouldn’t be judged. If David were a flirty type of guy, perhaps one could be considered a stalker. But no, David represents all that is beautiful, good and true about life. It’s for this reason that fans want to see him often and get to know him better. A person who follows David IS in their right mind, a very sound mind. If the person wants David to remember their name, I think that’s great. David comes across as someone you could be on a first name basis with; he feels like a good friend. He’s the kind of person I’d like to have as a friend. I don’t know a whole lot about being a Mormon, however, I get the impression that going on a mission is very important to people of that faith. This facet of the Mormon faith should certainly be respected, nonetheless, fans still have a right to their opinions and ideas. It doesn’t mean they’re selfish or won’t support David’s decisions. Fans are merely expressing what they feel is best for David. No one here intends to claim to know what that ultimately is or to dictate that to David. No, we’re not the producer who tells David, Hey David, dress, act, walk and talk this or that way and it’ll put you in the limelight. We know our opinions and ideas for him are just that, and not a road map for what he must do or we’ll drop him. David has asked us to stand by him, and we will, come what may. David being David works just fine. God has graced David with many beautiful blessings. We fans just want to bask in some of those blessings that are so bounteous that you just got to know, they’re meant to be shared.
Peace and prayers to all!!!

Karlox, Great article!! Thanks for the pictures that compliment the writing so well, Angelica.
Love how you incorporate what is important for David with the utmost respect for him and the non-judgmental view of all those that love David and their views. David’s solid determination to follow the path that he is destined for and his willingness to take the risk because of his faith in God is something I admire. I respect him so much and will support him one day at a time. My hope and desire is that he will come back to his Music career as he has promised. I’ll take his word for that. He will then be free to follow his Music career and life with a new freedom and passion.

Karlox,
Very nice article. I really like your open-minded point of view. “Fans are merely expressing what they feel is best for David. No one here intends to claim to know what that ultimately is or to dictate that to David.”
David has such a diverse group of fans that, naturally, we all see some things differently. But in the end, we all really just want for what’s best for him, and for him to be happy. And we want him around for a long time, sharing his music and performing for us.
Heidijoy,
This >> “He will then be free to follow his Music career and life with a new freedom and passion.” Yes!

From David: Getting around —We had to get in a taxi twice, and both times we had great conversations with the taxi drivers! The first one we just asked how his day went and how work was going, and then he asked us the same thing. (ks)

Amen. Great article Karlox. Those who have watched his every move, had an ear to his every word, recognize his intelligence and more – for one, an innate understanding of human nature, especially for his age. Really appreciate your thoughts on the fans too….to each his own. In the end, everyone cares about one thing and one thing only, him. Speaking of “him”….so thankful he continues our weekly tweet – it could be a recital of the alphabet, doesn’t matter…just hearing from him feels good, and makes me feel like he is thinking of us too.

Hello everyone!!
Karlox,
“David has asked us to stand by him, and we will, come what may.”
David just being David, I love him for that. Thank you for sharing with us π
David tweets. I see a pattern here that I hope doesn’t end. Every week we get a tweet π I’m happy.
Kari says we will get the dougie video on the one year anniversary of the epic dance which she has in HD and which lorms says is February 13, 2013.
David’s followers keep growing, 1,061,205.

Djfan I think the one year mark was for the video of Rainbow. Don’t believe she said exactly when she would show the dougie but that she would sometime, since David said it was ok. At least that is the way I interpreted it.

Loving these candid pics.He looks serious here, like a food decision maybe)β₯ :))
Not that I am staring at his beautiful self or anything *cough* but what happened to his nose in this picture with that little indentation showing up that isn’t there?.(it’s fine, I just filled it in in my head, cause if I know anything,I know that profile.)
Strange, must have been the brightness from the sign or something.
I need help.Having an ODD flash, don’t mind me. *sigh*

Sky, I noticed that little indentation too. Did you notice there is one on the back of his head too? Right by the light. Not that I’m staring at the pic either. π
Dja, I hope we keep getting those sweet David tweets, too. It doesn’t matter what he says. It shows he’s thinking of us.
And I like that Kari is contacting him weekly. Why does that make me feel better? Is it because it reminds me that he hasn’t completely forgotten his career, or us? Or because we know he’s ok? Or just that it’s keeping a connection? All of the above? IDK But, it does.
