All Atwitter About David Archuleta
Posted by betsy on Friday, October 12, 2012
The other night I was going back through some old tweets. I came upon my entire livetweet of the Grand Rapids TOSOD show that I attended in early October, 2010. I didn’t realize I sent so many. I KNOW I have a twitter addiction, but this was ridiculous.
I know I already wrote a recap of this show a long time ago. But these are tweets that were written in the moment, most were written with David in front of me, singing and jumping and having a blast.
Right now, memories are what we have. So I thought I’d share mine.
The day started out cold and rainy. I couldn’t get out of working that Saturday. I DID leave work 2 hours early. Got home, changed, grabbed my camera, hopped in my car. Started backing out of the driveway and my car decided to die right there.
Fast forward to 2 hours later, I arrived in Grand Rapids driving my husband’s truck. 🙂
I found the area and the soundcheck was starting.
These are the tweets I sent. I am leaving in all of my errors. I was standing in a crowd of 20 thousand people.
This was the beginning of TOSOD. And ALL of these people got into it. Man, woman, child. Didn’t matter.
RT @betsyjane25: David!
RT @betsyjane25: Singing uno dos tres
RT @betsyjane25: Fs
RT @betsyjane25: Str
RT @betsyjane25: He sounds so good guys! His voice just rang out over the city:)
RT @betsyjane25: Aww he didn’t want to take up all the time “i’m good”
RT @betsyjane25: I thought people would leave after soundcheck but they know better:)
RT @betsyjane25: I see a little blue sky peeking thru:)
RT @betsyjane25: There must be 80 million people here slight exaggeration:) but it’s insanely crowded
RT @betsyjane25: The sun is coming out as it goes down-cool:)
RT @betsyjane25: Omg thf screams for david
RT @betsyjane25: Ten million times louder
RT @betsyjane25: Ryan starr singing-i like
RT @betsyjane25: Ryan starr sounds like a young neil diamond rocker
RT @betsyjane25: Hot chellie in 10 minutes
RT @betsyjane25: Where is the moshpit hospitality?
RT @betsyjane25: Aww some sweet girl just switched places with me<3
RT @betsyjane25: Faith restored
RT @betsyjane25: Last song:)
RT @betsyjane25: Lead singer has his lyrics tattood across his chest-shirt strategically torn
RT @betsyjane25: I see mikd
RT @betsyjane25: Just a few:)
RT @betsyjane25: Aww ben drummer taking pics of the crowd:)
RT @betsyjane25: Chantin “daviid”
RT @betsyjane25: Moshpit texting
RT @betsyjane25: Band is back!
RT @betsyjane25: 20 thousand jumping
RT @betsyjane25: Str
RT @betsyjane25: Hes getting hot i bet the scarf comes off
@ZachLeipham: The guitar player in David archuleta’s band just ripped a sick pinch harmonic in ballad-ish song.
RT @betsyjane25: Hes making the girls cry next to me (this was MKOP)
RT @betsyjane25: Crush omg the screams
RT @betsyjane25: Omg they wont let him leavd
RT @betsyjane25: I have never in my life heard this so much “omg i love him”
RT @betsyjane25 Now I have to remember where I parked.
🙂 🙂 Glad you’re home safe’n’sound! RT @betsyjane25: Just got home:) i heard stomping the roses in my hea the whole drive home
RT @betsyjane25: Oh I forgot – David was talking about Natasha and sang part of her song. 🙂 I love you I love you I love you
LOL RT @betsyjane25: #Latetweet #Ohwell #Missedtheboat #Everyoneprobablyknowsalready
RT @betsyjane25: Guys, the radio station taped the whole concert from the stage:)
RT @betsyjane25: With at least 2 cameras
@betsyjane25: I love that you Rt’d my tweets last night. Thanks 🙂 *crawls back into fetal position*

Mlp – I love this memory, and to think I almost didn’t go. Well, I’m just glad I did.
JR & Dja – How did I text? Not sure. There were quite a few people there. 😉 I had never livetweeted a show before. I was texting friends AND tweeting at the same time. Glad I didn’t mix them up. 🙂
Awww Sunny, I wish I’d gone with a friend! That would’ve been fun!
I drove alone. I had a few friends there, but I didn’t want to cut in front of people to be up front. I just couldn’t do it.
Tofan – I stole that line from Clueless. It has a line for every occasion.
“Is that a nod to the crispy Seattle weather?”
Dja – I just watched the Zero Gravity videos, hadn’t seen them in a long time. It makes me a little sad. Sooooo many people were loving it the music. His music. He wasn’t even the headliner.
I wonder what would’ve been the outcome if this had happened in cities all over the country. Oh well, it didn’t, and I’m just grateful to have gone. ♥

Betsy, how lucky were you to be at this concert, maybe the largest crowd he had performed in front of (excluding national anthems), and to hear them screaming for him like that! It’s impossible to see him live and not appreciate him. That STR is one of my all-time fav performances, ROCKSTAR! and what is it about his soundchecks – they just kinda pull me in in this weird way. They seem more personal, like a little peek at him vs the performer. Idk. Like I said, weird.

Thanks, Betsy 🙂 It’s so fun to go back in time and remember the fun times. Your tweets are hilarious!! Why do we become brain dead/brilliant at the same time when a David Archuleta concert is happening?! It seems like we just lose all of our thinking and reasoning ability when David is visible (or hear-able). But then, at the same time, we are the masters of figuring out where to be and how to get there–NOW! I can’t know. 😉
So, last night when I commented that I was going to cruise around YT for a while. Yeah. Three and a half hours later (2:00 am) I finally stopped. Seems I decided that it would be a good time to get my MKOC and playlist downloaded to my computer in case it ever disappears from the internet. Next step, a flash drive backup. 🙂 🙂
Wishing Gladys another safe travels and have fun greeting. I sure hope they allow some cameras at this event. #hopingforpicsofDavidArchuleta ♥

Gladys will be doing a write up of her experiences. She needs some time to rest and get her thoughts together. I copied the chat text where Djafan translated from Spanish to English.

Fenfan: Al Jolson went down on his knee most famously in the first full-length movie with sound “The Jazz Singer” in 1927. At the end of the movie he sings this song to his mother. He is Jewish in the story (as he was in real life) and has given up a career as a Cantor to sing jazz on broadway.
Mission references (maybe….?): Missionaries love to have fun with each other. In two of the missions my sons went to the ‘new’ missionaries are called ‘sons’ and their longer-in-the-mission field companions are affectionately called ‘fathers’. The son never forgets the father who trained him and these experiences can lead to friendships that last for many years. Also, in some missions the Elders refer to ‘old’ missionaries, those who are close to going home, as “dying”. (!!) Really, it is just their humor! Well, we have all seen the videos of anxious mothers and families waiting at the airport for the first glimpse of their returning sons. And we can relate in many ways.
But for the returning elders it is a bitter-sweet time, just like leaving home was tow years before. And they do not miss a chance to rib each other about it (just as you would in a close family).
So my “take” on the Al Jolson song is this: I understood Gladys to say that DA sang the Al Jolson song to the ‘older’ or more ‘senior’ of the Elders. That could mean those that were close to going home. If that is the case, I think the song he sang was “My Mammy”, complete with a full complement of “ham”. The original video is below. And the lyrics.
Too funny, if that is what he did!
My Mammy sung by Al Jolson
Songwriters: SAM LEWIS, JOE YOUNG, WALTER DONALDSON
Everything is lovely
When you start to roam;
The birds are singin’, the day that you stray,
But later, when you are further away,
Things won’t seem so lovely
When you’re all alone;
Here’s what you’ll keep saying
When you’re far from home:
Mammy,
Mammy,
The sun shines east, the sun shines west,
I know where the sun shines best–
Mammy,
My little mammy,
My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy.
I’m comin’,
Sorry that I made you wait.
I’m comin’,
Hope and trust that I’m not late, oh oh oh
Mammy,
My little Mammy,
I’d walk a million miles
For one of your smiles,
My Mammy! Oh oh oh…
(SPOKEN) Mammy…
My little Mammy.
The sun shines east– the sun shines west–
I know where– the sun shines best!
It’s on my Mammy I’m talkin’ about, nobody else’s!
(SUNG) My little Mammy,
My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy.
(SPOKEN) Mammy– Mammy, I’m comin’–
I’m so sorry that I made you wait!
Mammy– Mammy, I’m comin’!
Oh God, I hope I’m not late!
Look at me, Mammy! Don’t you know me?
I’m your little baby!

For one of your smiles,

Gladys, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I believe things happen for a reason. The entire chain of events, the permission for you to attend and be a witness to Elder Archuleta was meant to be…IMHO. I could hear a collective sigh in the Archufandom. David is fine, actually more than fine 🙂

And thank you, Abrra, Angelica, DJAfan and all the others that work so hard on here to keep the gears oiled and running! You guys are awesome, I love you all!♥

Ray – you’re right – he will become an all-around multi-faceted entertainer, even using this time on his mission to learn while reaching out to others. Just wish we could witness…. Martha

Ray, Amen to that! David Archuleta=greatest entertainer/musician of all time!
Knowing that “one of us” actually saw and heard David was a major relief for me. I NEEDED to know he was all good. Sounds like he is even better than good! So dang happy for that! 🙂
I was excited to be in chat last night with so many others that were hanging on every word Gladys spoke! Thanks so very much to Gladys, Djafan, Abrra, Angelica and every one else who commented and kept me glued to my seat!
Can’t wait for what’s next!

Thanks for all your nice comments, guys. 🙂
Next David show I attend (THE NEXT ONE HE DOES IN THE US) I will try to tweet, and do a better job. This was my first attempt.
What fun in chat last night. I kept wanting to jump in with major screams and keysmashes, but held off. Barely.
Wasn’t it fun to see people from all over the world there? I loved that. ♥
Just think about that guys. We have friends all over the dang world. It’s the coolest ever. 🙂 What a family of fans. ♥
Hope our girl Gladys got some well needed food and rest.

Off topic but I just have tell you guys. I went to a movie this afternoon but before it came on David started to sing Broken. It only went on for a few seconds but it was such a thrill! Ok, carry on!
