Kalei quotes:
“His voice has matured and resonates with a silky, richness – it filled the entire venue and everyone was literally hypnotized and mesmerized by the depth of emotion in every single note. He got a little choked up at the end of the Spanish portion, and it was all I could do to hold the phone steady and not cry – even after all this time, David still has the power to move people to tears.”
“The bodyguards read the situation clearly and immediately surrounded David and Lupe and started moving them towards the exit. Then panic ensued as people realized David was leaving, and the crowd went into full Reno Solo Tour GA (General Admission) mode – if you were at Reno, you know what I mean – and it took everything in my power not to get knocked down and trampled! I was afraid for David – it was like the heyday of David Mania – and the bodyguards (I think there were six of them) linked arms and cut a path towards the exit and ushered David and Lupe into a waiting car where they were whisked off into the night, the red tail-lights getting smaller and smaller in the distance, and then he was gone.”
And then there’s this:
Continuing my journey on the #northshore of Oahu with @climb_works . Such a blast! Nice people, and got me to try things I probably wouldn’t have before. Highly recommend checking out these awesome places in Hawaii! #CLIMB #hangingaround #zipline #iheartHawaii #SummerbreezeinNovember

The views are now at 109,385 in two hours! About 1,500 an hour!
I’m still basking in the glow of the reaction to David. I’ve searched to see if the others on the panel received the same, not to be mean but no, they didn’t.

Got to hear David Archuleta and 3 others talk at last nights fireside! He also sang a song at the end which was absolutely amazing!😍 Would’ve gotten a picture with him but he had to leave because too many girls were fan-girling😂 Haha still a great experience!😊 #hesoundslikeanangel

Thanks djafan!
Kalei’s recap really tells all. David gets the same reaction after a performance wherever he goes. There’s something about him that causes this manic reaction in people and his voice is just a part of it; it’s really his whole demeanor and the way he carries himself. Without copying Kalei’s description word for word which I started to do, her keywords alone tell the story:
bodyguards
immediately surrounded
moving them toward the exit
panic ensued
knocked down and trampled
heyday of David mania
bodyguards linked arms
ushered into a waiting car
whisked off
This sounded more like one of David’s concerts than a fireside. Except for Kalei I didn’t know there were so many fans in Hawaii! 🙂

Haha, it sounds like those ‘frenzied fans’ from his past who he couldn’t really understand why they were that way! It seems that his popularity and fame have a positive side, making others happy! Dear fans, you had it right you were fine, but wow the need for bodyguards there was overwhelming.

Djafan, really love the reception David got in Hawaii – and the love continues in the comments on social media posts, including the BYU-Hawaii video. I hope this gives David enough confidence to go back out there and do his thing for everyone! Hope he’s been reading the comments on his IG, FB, etc etc etc.
Also, looking at the twitter numbers again, Djafan…ARGH. I just don’t get it. Where is that constant slide coming from. Not when both FB and IG are climbing…reflecting David’s new reach from his activities. #Puzzled #Dumbfounded

SB, “It seems that his popularity and fame have a positive side, making others happy!”
By the smile on his face I’d say the reaction made him happy too 🙂
Rube, He is amazing!
Anodrlurker, I’ve been reading twitter and it seems that twitter is unfollowing people without our permission. Maybe accounts that have been stagnant for a period of time who knows. Twitter mentions and retweets did go up and the other numbers are looking good!
The week of November gains:
Facebook 1.16k
Wiki 6.76k
Youtube views 39.2k
Soundcloud plays 3.30k
Instagram likes 15.7k
Vevo views 163k
Twitter mentions 5.39k
Twitter retweets 1.67k
Twitter followers -227
So facebook and instagram likes increased by 16.86k, not bad for someone who’s just getting their feet wet in preparation for 2015!

Djafan, I’m usually a lurker but I just had to stop by and tell you how much I enjoy your work with David’s social media statistics! Really great that you put that all together. And I do think twitter is doing some deleting of unused or fake accounts. Nothing to worry about there.

Djafan — awesome! Thanks for the stats! Knew I could count on you for some social media good news! =) The best thing is that there are numbers from the BYU-H page too — pretty sure David is driving views and visits there too! Over 110K now, I believe! Thing is, twitter numbers are taken at face value especially for those in the industry..if you know what I mean. Could have implications for David.
Saw some tweets today about how some bonafide David fans had twitter unfollow David for them! EEEK! Not good! I hope people are checking their lists from time to time and not just taking for granted that everyone they followed is still there!
Abrra, thanks for flipping the pic! I saw that on twitter and I was like..no, that’s now how David parts his hair! This pic is flipped! Haha! (Short hair again, by the way.)

David and the Hawaiian sun look good together! jmo 🙂 I’m getting excited for his performances this weekend! Even tho’ I will be there, I’m certainly hoping that someone pulls a ninja job and gets it on video. In the past, the Capitol Theatre has strict no cameras, etc. policies in force.
Looks like David had quite a Twitter party going there for a little bit…. he’s coming back. It may be a little slow, but I feel it’s picking up speed. Yes, we are a patient people!! 🙂

Dja, whenever I see you listing numbers for David I am reminded of when he talked about being obsessed with statistics for pop music when he was young. You are truly kindred spirits. Thank you for keeping us up to date
Abrra, thank you for keeping David’s hair on the correct side. It is always unsettling when he doesn’t look quite right.
I liked to see David getting the word out on social media about his upcoming performance. There are TV spots and billboards all around the area. No pictures on the billboards, but he is obviously the main attraction., You would think those billboard people would have jumped at the chance to have the best looking ad ever.
I have a ticket for the Saturday 2:00 program. If anyone can go, please get in touch.

About those Twitter numbers, I had faith in Twitter when I first joined a few years ago. Now I notice that I get tweets from people I don’t even follow. I don’t mean re-tweets; I mean bonafide tweets.
Furthermore, Instagram is becoming more popular than Twitter. As a result, people are closing their Twitter accounts in favor of Instagram which may explain in part, why David’s Twitter #s are getting lower and his Instagram followers are rising. JMO

Bebe, I see that trend. What I’ve learned that recently social media for a celebrity is being looked at as a whole. Like in the picture I posted from BYU “Has 5 million followers on Social Media” not one specific one. This is a better measure. Not to shabby.
