I’m sure going to miss him this year. He made my Christmas Merry. He is the Voice for Christmas. Loved these videos. I’ll be here #2014 for sure. God Bless Him and keep him safe.

David was born to do Christmas music! The emotion comes from deep inside of him and he conveys it beautifully to those to whom he’s singing! Can’t wait for future Christmas concerts!! Martha ♥

Oh my goodness!! I forgot how much I loved the angel video to Pat-A-Pan. Thank you bluesky for remembering it and to Abbra for posting it. I sometimes try to listen to other Christmas CD’s I’ve had through the years but it never works—-I only want to listen to my David for all things Christmas. I am really missing him a lot during this Christmas season. Well, time to go watch Silent Night again while holding my 2 week old grandson:)

Between the top picture and the videos (all of them) I’m feeling very nostalgic. David is definitely the angel at the top of my tree.
Thanks Angelica and Abrra for the videos, and also for the Merry Christmas wish. 🙂
I’m wishing a very Merry Christmas season to all of you here at The Voice. It’s such a warm, fireside place to be. If it weren’t mid-day, I’d go cozy up in a blankie with some hot chocolate.
Only 76 more days ’til we’re out of the 400’s.

I love all the videos posted. I would love to hear David sing The Voice, sung by the Celtic Women, but he probably wouldn’t because he’s too humble and might think he’s calling himself “the voice”, which of course we know he is. (rambling sentence) Just saw a video on mjsbigblog of Phil Phillips singing This Christmas. Couldn’t resist commenting and putting a link to David’s Santa Rosa performance of it. No comparison. Didn’t see any other comments regarding David’s performance of this song. To me, no one sings it better than the Archuleta. If you agree, go comment.

Tawna21 – that is funny with your 76 days left to be out of the 400’s. I am just so happy that it will be 2013 because in my mind I can say: Great! David will be back “next year”. That seems so much closer to me.

Tawna, I took your challenge of no smiling while watching the video, but failed miserably. Don’t know what made me think I would be a winner with that. And yes, 76 more days and we are out of the 400’s. But who is counting?
Loved the videos up top, Angelica. TY. How lovely Orla’s voice is, but my ears still listen for David.
The feathers in my tummy keep reminding me David is right now preparing to sing tonight. That lucky Gladys. So happy for her. And for David. And for me.

We literally had to pull ourselves out of Unplugged tonight after Gladys left and after we watched half a dozen songs from the MkOC tour. While most artists throw in one or two songs on their setlist if their tour happens to be at Christmas time, David can carry an entire Christmas tour and setlist on his own because he breathes new life into old favorites and gives each song a life of it’s own. I’ve been to shows on all of David’s tours but my favorites are the shows on the Christmas tours, CFTH and MKOC.:)

Angelica,
Thank you for putting up those exquisite and exceptional performances from David and Orla…heavenly <3. We don't celebrate Christmas in our household but I've enjoyed Christmas music since I was young ..they're fun !! I have to admit tho that I didn't know the depth of those songs until David sings em, the way he put his spin in each word ..it enhance the depth of emotions in each song…I dunno how to explain it, he not only sings them but while singing em he's also telling the stroy so effortlessly efficiently and heartfelt, his vocal…beautiful…sublime…ok i stop rambling now hehe.
Just want to say David opened my eyes (ears) , he takes Christmas songs to new level for me.
Hope Gladys has a safe trip and the time of her life, she's one lucky fan and totally deserves it all 🙂

Bella, he sang the same songs but more intense this time because he was more confident and fluent and she was placed in reserved seating on the second row right in front of him. After each song he shushed the audience with a finger to his lips and a little smile. She met him again and made him laugh gloriously when he saw the funny/cute gift she gave him. More of the night to be posted and I don’t want to ruin the read but will just share this much translated from chat.
I ran into President MacArthur and he gave me a hug and kiss. I’d never spoken to him before and he told me, “Ahhh you are the one from Argentina.”
Me: Yes President
Him: You know something, I always tell Elder Archuleta that he has the possibilities of success. haha!

I was able to catch the three videos before I left for church this morning — I must confess my mind wandered during mass thinking about them (forgive me Lord) and I was so anxious to get home to see them again and again (which I have done of course). What a blessing they were caught on video and uploaded — thank you. Has David (Elder Archuleta) ever sounded better? Breathtaking, stunning, out-of-this-world perfect. And now, to hear The Prayer duet — just glorious.
Apparently this is the girl who sang the duet with him. She is very talented.

These videos have me almost at a loss for words. Only David’s magnificent voice can change an otherwise dreary day into one of immense joy & comfort. He is simply magical. One of a kind magical.
After having attended David’s Christmas concerts for the last three years, including four CFTH concerts in 2009, all four MOTAB concerts in 2010 and four MKOC concerts in 2011, this Christmas was starting to feel not like Christmas at all. So if these videos are all we can get this year, I’m going to be humble & thankful. This is a gift I didn’t expect and those are the best kinds of gifts.
His Oh Holy Night in Spanish is stunningly beautiful. The Prayer…can’t say enough. I’m truly astonished! Totally & completely phenomenol. I only wish Noche de Paz (not Luz), Silent Night had been a solo because he let her overpower him at times. He’s generous that way.
All in all, the best gift so far this season!
