    Hi DJafan,

    Is it Monday, March 25th or Tuesday, March 26th? Please clarify… 🙂

    Can’t wait for the CDs to be delivered. So far, I’ve been good listening only to snippets on Billboard, but I may not be able to hold longer if the CDs don’t arrive soon enough. Aaaagh!

    Hi everyone,
    I have been out of town and sick (not a good combination) but want to add my excitement to the Cd coming out. I just love the last part of Don’t Run Away,,, about 3:00 on to the end. I can just imagine David doing his thing in concert with it.
    It will be so great to have so many of my favorites on this wonderful Cd.
    Have a great happy day everyone,,, while we wait with enormous patience 🙂 🙂

    The video is like David, innocent and without ulterior motives. It is fresh air for the music industry.

    Sorry if I’m too abrupt to move to another topic.
    All my life I have been cautious, patient, obedient and followed the rules set by me and by society, but David showed me that once we get out of our comfort zone.
    But before I take a step, I get the following questions:
      Someone will be hurt?
      Someone will be offended?
      Someone thinks I’m so important to be the center of any discussion?
    The answer is always NO. I’m just a grain of sand that lives in Argentina, and God sent David to a country next to mine.
    Perhaps the answer is not right, “I break the rules because I want out of my comfort zone”

    The appropriate response is to live with the decisions I take.

    (I hope my English is understandable.)

    Right when we think things might slow down some, wham we get another surprise. All these things happening without David here. We know what a hard working genius he is, just imagine what is yet to come when he returns.

    Warning…have tissues near by when you get your album and begin to read David’s message. I saw a couple of quotes from Japanese fans and they are in tears (itunes download available for them). Who’s staying up tonight???

    Poof, I hope you feel better!

    Gladys, Por favor mandame tu comentario en espanol. I haven’t observed you breaking rules, just following your heart and listening to your gut as David says.

    I’m going to go check my mail just in case 🙂

    I got 6 CD’s today, from WOW and Best Buy! Won’t get the 4 from get Amazon until next week, but I’m loving the pics and the thank you’s from our guy! I’m ready for my gifting duties! 😉 Also love the video. It’s a great concept and something completely different. Kylie did a fantastic job and wow, all the time she put into the video I hope she got a sizable paycheck! 🙂 So nice of her to give us the details on making it.

    Haven’t been commenting, but I have been able to squeeze in some time to read the posts and stream the album on the different sites. Thanks dja for all the website info and the reminders on voting and such. My ‘me’ time is very limited. Just got my mom out of the hospital again yesterday. I’ve been pretty busy just taking care of her and my other obligations. Life seems crazy right now, but I’m so glad for David, his music, and his fansites. It gives me a little peace at the end of these crazy, busy days to come here and catch up on the happenings. At the end of the day his voice is my elixir of choice for getting to sleep. It works every time!

    So, I’d like to give one big THANK YOU to all the admin’s, writer’s and all those who post comments here. You are all absolutely wonderful! Mucho Gracias!

    There is a digital booklet that came with the iTuens download and a few pics plus the liner notes.

    But my pics in the digital booklet are covered in blue (except the middle one), and when I copy it, it removes the blue but then they come out in black and white. Hmmm…

    Oh, and if it’s possible, I think HFO sounds even better on the iTunes version. 🙂

    Happy Birthday Dja! I hope your day is relaxing and filled with cakes and smiles.. 🙂
    (I had the best tres leche cake down in Arizona once, omg so good. Now I want some so bad lol)
    That was random. 🙂
    My husband just got the mail and tossed my cd upstairs to me, so it got here a day earlier from what Amazon originally said. I am off to work soon with NMHF for my listening pleasure.
    Have a great day, all.

    Mr. Burger???? WOW! Gave No Matter How Far a B! Of course it deserves an A++++++ IMO.

    Ever before NBC aired “The Voice,” Murray native David Archuleta had The Voice on another TV singing competition, and that is why he isn’t going away quietly, even as he is in the midst of a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Chile. Archie’s new album “No Matter How Far” features a mix of newly recorded material (before he left on his mission) and previously unreleased tracks, with the latter essentially meaning songs that his team didn’t like enough to release the first time around. But that is what makes this album surprisingly rewarding — Archuelta’s two non-Christmas albums tried to position him as a traditional dance-floor-destined pop star, rather than play to his strengths as an emerging songwriter and talented interpreter of adult-contemporary ballads. Archie’s supposed left-overs showcase him at his best. Plus, two of the songs are co-written by Joy Williams of The Civil Wars, so if you want new music with her fingerprints on it, you better look here.

    Been out of the loop for the past few days with the Passover holiday. Just catching up on all the goodies here. So happy that many of you have your cds! Mine is due to arrive tomorrow from Amazon, fingers crossed! I didn’t have a chance to check my Itunes on my other computer to do the cd download. That’s how far behind I am! Can’t wait to read the liner notes for myself, even though our resident Birthday Girl was kind enough to read them to me over the phone. 🙂

    David is such a sweetheart; his spirit comes through in his words, assuring us that he will be back to do music!

    Loved that review by Mr. Burger of the Salt Lake Tribune in comment #69!

    Why AI is failing according to Rodney Ho. AI blogger for some time. Dangerous blog lol But nice David mention here and fervent fans lol

    6) Lack of compelling contestants. The women this year are truly talented. All five of them are good to great. But the guys, while some can sing competently, are Lunesta in the personality department. There isn’t a quirky Casey Abrams type or gutsy Adam Lambert in the mix. Nobody is bringing in the types of fervent fans that, say, David Archuleta did. “Idol” kept Zoanette Johnson around as long as they could because she has a crazy personality but ultimately, too unhinged on the singing side.

    Jeff LeBlanc is a sweetheart to give David a shout out about his album. Now if all the others that David has given them too would do the same, I’d be a happy camper. Our guy is just so kind!

    Love Burger’s comments. Nice to see a positive review for a change. This album is wonderful.

    Happy Birthday Patty! All kinds of best wishes to you. Could not do without you.

    Nice of Jan to share the pics from Abrra. You did mean to share didn’t you?

    Hey, Mr. Burger is softening up. Haha. He has always been complimentary of David’s voice on performances here. Most of his complaints were of peripheral nature, like unhappy with the stage decorations (who cares?), and too much bass (I thought so too), He grades all cd’s on the low side. I am happy with a “B” from him.

    Lovin’ Jeff LeBlanc. That pic from the last night of the Christmas tour made my heart pit-a-pat. What great memories that tell us we have great future adventures coming. One more year. I can do that.

    Just wondering what happened to the post that DJA posted today (Wed) at 6:25 pm. It came up on my email and I got on my desktop and watched the 24 min video by McKenzie. I was puzzled when no comments came up and when I rechecked the site, the post is gone! Am I going nuts or what? Can’t be, the email is still on my phone. 🙂

    Abrra, thanks for being so obliging! 🙂 Love your hard work here on this site. Hope to meet you some day. And any others that I haven’t met. I have had the pleasure of meeting Dayzee, Angelica, DJA, Sandy Beaches, Utawna, Heidijoy, Carol, Patty Rae and Shawna. Sorry if I forgot someone! 🙂 It will be a blast to all get together in about a yr or so for David’s next concert!

    Dja! Happy b-day to a wonderful friend … can’t thank you enough for all that you do! Hope it was a fabulous day! {{{hugs}}}

    For those of you still yet to get the CD, you are in for a mind blowing experience! Listening in the car is like hearing your own private concert …. his incredibly rich sumptuous voice serenading in your ear is just breathtakingly beautiful! What an amazing gift by an even more extraordinary young man!

    Well, made my rounds to the local stores yesterday: 2 Best Buys, 2 Barnes and Noble, both had NMHF, yay! But none at WalMart or Target yet. The very nice sales lady at B&N told me how popular it must be since I had bought the last one by noon so she promised to make sure they restocked ’cause I warned her that a lot of people would be looking for it! 🙂
