The Consummate Performer ~ David Archuleta

 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________

With all the vids I been watching lately, it again reinforced to me more than ever what a truly consummate performer he is. In the Rainbow vid he has been described as “dizzying” as a groovin’ mic-free David, then we have him flying across the stage dancing to a Zero Gravity, and then the choke-hold-on-the-mic D, giving us the stance and emoting like there is no tomorrow (My Hands/Providence, RI comes to mind), flashes of salsa, a few seconds of are-you-freaking-kidding-me moves during Soul Man, and then you have the Ave Maria’s and this:

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hadn’t seen this particular one before (and I ♥ it) where he just stands there and sings, gloriously sings.

…and I love one as much as the other. I love it all, I want it all. And we can’t forget piano accompaniment and I suspect possibly guitar on his return as well as more dancing! Huh, what, who? I know I’ve said it before, but it needs repeating (so here I go) – who else can sing and perform with such diversity at such high artistry AND look like that doing it!

n.o.b.o.d.y.

*If anyone was ever born to perform, to be on a stage, it is him.*

(I know I’m preaching to the choir, but sometimes I just have to get it out.)

Thanks guys.

    Over the last few years we have come to enjoy David’s Christmas Music as a most enjoyable and memorable part of our Christmas Holidays.

    Life seems to hold magic once in awhile and hopefully there will be a little Holiday Magic once again!

    Thanks for the lovely reminder Emmegirl!

    Gladys…the music tonight will be the ultimate music to remember. Please take to David from us, the spirit of the season through a glance, a smile or if possible a simple hello.

    I love what you wrote. It only proves that David has sustained his level of artistry since coming on the national music scene. Now he has upped his game on stage with dance moves and original arrangements of songs like the Little Drummer Boy encore.

    Randy from AI7 knew what they had when David took the stage at 17. His comments were always right on about David’s performance.

    “When you can SING, you can sing anything.”

    “This boy is THE ONE to beat, Paula!”

    “David, you can sing the phone book and make it sound good.”

    “You are singing with such a maturity way beyond your years that all you can say is you were born to do exactly what you’re doing there. That was BRILLIANT!”

    Today is the 1st anniversary of the first show of the MKOC Tour in Westbury. I was there with Bebe and Angelica! It was my last visit with David before he left for his mission.

    I have to go now, I have a strong craving for GREEN JELLO. 😉

    The Consummate Performer – that’s our David and we can say that knew him when! Except for Michael Jackson, I’ve never seen a more diverse entertainer. I love your words; he certainly can do anything he sets his mind to do. No wonder he can’t be categorized; he fits into every category!

    A voice like David’s comes along once in a lifetime. I said those words to him at a book signing for Chords of Strength, a few years ago. He got embarrassed and I got the big smile! *dies*

    Sky!! Have a Happy Birthday. Enjoy your cake and the fruit.

    Roselyn”s sketches are beautiful. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to make David appear with a pencil and paper? I appreciated that she wrote about how difficult it was to develop her talent. Even though she was not happy with the product, she continued to work at it. And now the results are something she can be proud of and share.
    It made me think of David, telling us how he wondered about what the neighbors thought when he was belting out songs in his backyard after watching Les Miserables. He talked about singing Stand By Me in his room to his dog. He thought when people said they liked his singing they were just being nice because he was little. Yet he kept practicing even when his vocal chord failed him. I shudder to think of him quitting. And now he deserves the article Emmegirl writes of him being the Consummate Performer

    Sometimes I think David’s greatest talent is to just stand there and let us absorb.

    Bebe, I enjoyed the story of your time with David. Some of my favorite memories of David are from book signings. That was such a wonderful opportunity to see David just being David.

    From Bluesky,:

    The choir are those who show up no matter what, when or where. They deserve all the ‘preaching’ they can get. It helps them to keep the space loving, warm, friendly and inviting — while waiting for Mr. Preacher Man to ascend the podium one-more-time and take us all on that upward flight to new heights/depths; turning us inside out, spinning the room, landing us all on our “ears” while he stays on his toes.

    Then when the music ends and the dusts settles — he just smiles and looks around like: “That was fun, right?” It is a good thing that his “sound” fills up so much space – cause we, as the choir, all end up speechless.

If he feels even a fraction of the joy he gives out, then he must be a very happy young man! It reminds me of that moment at the beginning of AI when he talks about how singing makes him feel.

    Gladys; You are such a blessing … sending a huge hug!

    Love hearing how David is never far from our daily lives. Last week at work, it was an unexpected joy to hear the most beautiful sound of his voice singing Angels We Have Heard on High. No, it wasn’t the radio but one of my staff playing music from their phone and it warmed my heart to know that they had downloaded it from the Christmas From the Heart CD that I had given the year before. Sigh … David has spoiled my ear such that it’s hard to listen to any other voice singing HIS Christmas songs.

    I have to admit that I’m missing the festive green border though wonder what it’d look like if it was all in Rainbow, haha!

    Abrra; Thank you for the mp3 of ‘Bluedots’ video but can’t figure out why it will only play on my phone & not download to save … is the file too big or maybe I’ll just have to join Dja & Tofan to watch it on the big screen, lol!

    You will need to download the file to your desktop on your computer. This “copies” the file. The phone download is reading the file from mediafire via the browser on your phone. Essentially , you are listening to it in the cloud 🙂 I often do this with pod casts, because I need to only hear them once. No need to save them afterward.

    Once you have the file downloaded to your computer, open iTunes and drag the file over to your music library. I usually crate a “playlist” and drop the file in there. I like to keep the long concert files as a single playlist.

    Gladys, can’t wait to hear about last night! Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us.

    Awww bebe. We are excited for it! (muchly)

    Guys, there is no other way to decorate a Christmas tree then in a relaxed manner listening to Christmas from the Heart.

    (I prepped for it by listening to it in the car on the way home from work, but we all need a little prepping, am I right?) 🙂

    That music is truly a work of art. I will never get over it.

    Tonight my PBS station showed Christmas with the Tabernacle Choir Featuring David Archuleta 🙂 Don’t know why I think that is so much better than watching the same show I have recorded, but it is.

    Putting up my Christmas stuff and there were 4 Christmas balls with this insignia: David Archuleta Christmas from the Heart Tour 2009. It was a good day for me.

    We appreciate you spending time in the dungeon Bebe. TY Patiently waiting for the result. Not.

    “Far over the misty mountains cold
    To dungeons deep and caverns old
    We must away ere break of day
    To seek the pale enchanted gold.”

    JRRTolkein

    Just sayin’

    (So, it seems G. is on a quest “over the mountains”. Her efforts “fill our (wordpress) dungeons”. And DA is pure gold. And he has definitely enchanted us. Have I forgotten anything?)

    (Oh yeah…. Gladys the intrepid, is doing this without 13 companions. Instead, she has 100s that are patiently waiting at the top of the tunnel.)

    (One word of caution, Gladys: don’t get burned until you have retrieved the lot.)

    (just sayin’!)

    Dayzee, I put my decorations up yesterday and was recalling your beautiful garland that you made. It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 1 yr already since we sat and listened to his unexpected announcement. I was also thinking of the fun time we had in Park City with Heidijoy and Carol. Good memories! 🙂
    I only have 1 of those blue David Archuleta CFTH Tour 2009. Did you go to 4 concerts to get your 4? I know you went to 3 of the MKOC concerts last yr! 😀

    #63 – Jans11 – it is Carol here – I have photos of all of us and our adventures on a shelf by my computer – reminds me daily of the great times we shared. Can’t wait for the opportunity to make new memories!

    #14 – the photo – I had the honor of watching that photo being taken! What a night!

    Hugs to Gladys and all who are helping us feel some of that very special Christmas joy again.

    Thanks to everyone here at the Voice for providing enjoyment in countless ways!

    I also put up my tree and decorations listening to David’s CD. I thought when it was over, my husband would let it go on to the next in the changer, but no, he restarted David’s CD and said, “You work better with this playing.” then laughed. 🙂

    Wonderful analogy!

    hahaha The secret is out!
    He’s such an inspiration, isn’t he?

    I’m pretending today is my birthday and borrowing the video of David singing Happy Birthday to Sky in comment#28. Sigh…it doesn’t get much better than that.

    Oh Jan, Grateful and HeidiJoy, we were having such a great time in Park City, not knowing what lay ahead. What at shock that announcement was! But look at us, we are still here a year later, still relating to the Zombie mode Annie speaks of. Still clutching anything remotely pertaining to David. And making plans for many Christmases to come.
    Jan, about those 2009 ornaments. I may have offered to carry one home for my granddaughter and it was MY home I carried it to. Haha

    That lucky Gladys.

    Happy pretend birthday to Bebe. Cake anyone?

    Marlie, it’s been exactly a year since we saw D in Verona. What a great time! I met people I had only spoken to online, and reconnected with others.
    And David made it snow indoors. 😉
