The David Archuleta Music Scholarship Campaign 2013 is Here!
Posted by djafan on Monday, March 11, 2013
Dear friends at The Voice
We are starting our 2013 campaign for The David Archuleta Music Scholarship and would greatly appreciate if you would post this on Monday, March 11. There is a video at the end to embed as well.
Thanks for posting the information from the TDAMS Committee. It warms my heart to see a project that is supported by all fans and all fan sites who care deeply for David. Getting a music education while attending public schools is not so easy these days.
Imagine having the talent but no means to work to improve that talent?
Hey, on vacay for a whole week! Spent the weekend in Memphis and now just relaxing at home. No plans except to eat out a lot and shop till I drop while spending quality time with my husband. ♥♥
Just made my donation. If you can give only a little, please do. Even $5.00 will help.
Just an FYI on the video. If you start it you will see a little gear wheel at the bottom. Click on it and choose the higher quality of 480 to view or you will get grainy images.
Good to be back at The Voice! Missed chat this weekend while in Memphis but heard a good time was had by all. 🙂
I’m married to a Music Educator which means that I learned the value of a music education, whether singing or playing an instrument. I always cringe when I hear that they’re thinking of dropping the arts program in a school. Learning music is more than reading notes and having fun while developing a skill. Music plays a role in brain development and overall self-expression. It reduces stress, lowers blood pressure and increases memory. That said, it gave me great pleasure to make a small donation in David’s name. 🙂
Thanks for the opportunity to contribute to a wonderful cause in David’s name. Looove the video and that it was to When You Believe – both performances, the Idol performance and the studio recording, are perfect examples of his ability to connect. One of my favorite all time D performances.
It is great that David fans are still supporting all things David. Music has been proven to help overall achievement in all aspects of development since in the womb. I played music to my babies since conception and I’ve seen the outcome. And it’s never to late. I left music for a while but God placed David in my journey because he knew the need I had for a voice to reach me.
Speaking of hands, this video came up on today’s search. I agree with most of what this man has said in his reading. I have never heard the word ego used in relation to David. I suppose it has to do with his drive to succeed in his singing career. Doing it his way has always been David’s style. Tony missed the mark on the spiritual aspect. David is most certainly spiritual and inspirational. Why else would we be here waiting for him?

“For the past 30 years Tony Leggett, the National Examiner Magazine’s psychic advisor “Dear Tony”. Tony is an international inspirer, life coach, and psychic healer / advisor. All palm readings are unrehearsed and unscripted.”
I wondered why the reading chart is of the left hand but he chose David’s right hand to read. Are hands mirror images or symmetrical? Hmmmmmmmmm.
Hey guys. I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU on so many levels for your support of The David Archuleta Music Scholarship. I agree with all of the comments here. Music has been a part of my life since birth and I’ve felt so honored to be a part of this now annual scholarship program. It’s fans (and friends) like you who help to keep it going. I will never forget those 2 tweets about it the first year we were able to give out scholarships in David’s name and to honor him. So thank you so much for your support. It means a lot.
I agree that he missed on the spiritual aspect. How could David sing the way he does, especially the hymns and Christmas songs without being with out feeling the spirit. Like when he said he seems to go into the song for a bit and become part of it. That is spiritual to me! ♥ The rest of it, I agree with him…or should I say he agrees with us!! 🙂
OMGosh! I just noticed you put my quote up in the left hand corner! ♥ I was reading it and thought it sounded familiar and then there’s my name! haha Took a second to comprehend! DUH!!!!! Thank you so much! Another reason to love this place and everyone here! {{{{HUGS}}}}
We put quotes by fans on our main page to share something they have said in comments that represents how most fans feel about David and his career. Sometimes we use a quote from the MAN himself. 🙂
#8 Interesting palm reading video.
According to Chinese palmistry principles you should read the left palm of a young man and the right palm of a young woman for primary analysis. The opposite palm is read for supplementary analysis. When they grow older, the right palm becomes more important for the man and the left palm for the woman. It’s believed that the left palm shows what a man is born with and the right palm shows what he grows into. The opposite is said to be the case for a woman.
Right is female and left is male, like ying and yang. I think that’s why women button their blouses right over left while men button their shirts left over right. But that’s just my guess! lol
Thanks Angelica – for the beautiful video to go along with this worthy cause. People will (ans are) finding it on youtube who would otherwise never see anything about the scholarship.
I just plugged in my husband’s new iphone 5 ear buds….they are a step above the 4. I don’t believe that there is anyone in the industry who sounds more remarkable, more like an instrument. Truly amazing. You hear every tiny purity of sound, every vibrato that few can deliver.
Thank you for the message David. I could spend the rest of your time away patiently waiting if we only had messages. We have the music.
Thanks for the info, Angelica. It’s nice to see fans doing something good in David’s name. We all know that helping young people to follow their dreams is a cause close to his heart. Great job on the video, too!
Fen,
Thanks for giving us a little background on the palm reading. Intersting stuff!
I like most of what the guy said about David and think it’s pretty close to being right on the mark. He is definitely doing things “his way” and is someone who “makes the world a better place and entertains people.” He also said he’s intelligent, talented, charming, and “powerful.” Yep I agree with all that too. 🙂
My grandson received some Beats headphones for his bday, very pricey. He brought them over and plugged them into my ipod. “He” then selected Don’t Run Away for me to listen 🙂 Let me tell you that David’s voice almost sounds live. You could hear every nuance, the texture and tone of his voice like if he was singing in your brain. I tell incredible. I must own a pair.
Dja,
My grandson got a pair of Beats for Christmas and I know what you mean. All the ‘sweet spots” take on a life of their own, don’t they? You really can hear, so clearly, all the special little things he adds to every song.
You should try listening to the clip of Heart Falls Out nice and loud. The part where he sings Ohhhh nooo noooo, oh man, that last nooo, that little vibrato/quiver in his voice, so so good! Not to mention the drum beats that sound like a heartbeat and the techno effects really come to life, too. You can really “feel” the song. It’s quite the musical experience. ♥
Sorry, guys, I guess it sounds like I just can’t let go of Heart Falls Out. Well, I guess I can’t. haha It has such a great rhythm to it along with his gorgeous voice. It’s just so good! I could easily see a couple dancing to in on So You Think You Can Dance. Wouldn’t that be something!?!
MT, I am anxious to get home now!!!! Don’t let go of HFO, it’s a beauty!!! And I know exactly what part your talking about which leads me to I want an album of all his back vocals 🙂
16…Abrra…That’s how I found my quote, I was looking for the previous one that was there from David. 🙂 And I love it in blue, my favorite color along with one of my favorite pictures of David! 🙂 Thanks again!!
17…Love hearing from David today! ♥ It’ just a little something to me knowing that he still is around…gosh I miss him!!
18…Fenfan, thanks for the very interesting explanation on the hand reading.
20…Years ago when Elvis released a new album I would sit and listen to the whole thing with my head phones on…it was so awesome, and now, it’s even more awesome listening to David! I bought a pair of earbuds when I bought my phone not knowing how good they are. But they are so good, so crystal clear and hearing every little sound that really does makes David sound live! They were just 29.99 at Best Buy…do not know the make, but I love them
We finished watching another complete “Nandito Ako” tonight. With each viewing, we see things we didn’t see before and pick up dialogue we missed in translation. We had 15 on board tonight so it’s evident that here’s still an interest in seeing this miniseries. It’s nice to get together on Tuesday nights for two hours with friends and David. We will take one week off and start up again on Tuesday, March 26. Why does that date sound familiar? It’s the date David’s new CD hits the stores. There will be much to talk about!
Angelica, I very much enjoyed your video. Such a reminder of the power of music in young lives and the power of David.
Somehow tonight I found myself watching his mission announcement and the Oh Holy Night that followed. I hope everyone has now seen it, though I know it was something many couldn’t watch. I don’t think I have ever seen anything even similar. Such stark emotion is rarely seen, especially in such a public situation. He is such an amazing person; so open in showing us the joy and pain he was feeling, and then to share it even more with that incredible performance.
I really cannot imagine my life without “the life” David adds to it.
