Betty, speaking of those birds, that entire opening to the performance is the perfect zen setup to open your senses. Thank you for mentioning it and lets make sure we give it some views here. As if we haven’t lol
The views have slowed but not stopped. I believe this would be perfect for a live national TV performance.
7.4m on facebook, 726,864 on youtube, Nathan’s facebook 1.7m views Total 9,826,864
Not to bad for a fast project with next to none promo. I’m sure they didn’t expect it. But there is something so perfect with it, it’s touching souls.

This was on FB today. I have to share it with you. It’s from Saturday evening and has the ‘thank you’ from the man in the audience. The audio is really pretty good on OHN.

I will not do caps or shout. I will simply tell you that if you purchased The Prayer on Pledge, that if you check your email, you will find — (wait for it)… a vlog. (that strange item that has been pretty much outlawed!!! ha, ha,)
It is DA thanking those who purchased the package deal early and gave the video a boost. After you listen to it, tell me what you think of his final words. ^_^

You will need to install Quicktime to play it. It’s an mov file.
Later today when I get home, I will convert the file to mp4 and put in the Candy Jar.
Lynnella
Go to the link in your email .
On the Pledge site you can click the “individual files” link on the right side (not the download zip on the left)
That will open and you will see on the right, the file named mov
Click that link and save the file.
It should open in Quicktime movie player.
If you don’t have that installed, search Google and get it.
My internet was down since early evening. Sorry! I’ll post what i can now before I go to work.
Shelley was there and took some stunning photos.

Finally got it to open in iTunes of all things. Sky, I’m right there with you, like the blind leading the blind. It was in my downloads, and it asked if I wanted to open it with something already on my computer, so I clicked on that and it opened in the iTunes videos. Crazy.
What I’ve noticed about him is he’s so calm and composed when he talks. No more giggling. He’s now a mature man. Good to see. Can’t wait for that new album.
Merry Christmas to everyone on here, especially the admins. Thank you for all you do.

Very good to me, as well! He is so good on videos. Best of both worlds is for him to have someone take the videos and then post them so that he gets the clicks and adv. $$ and WE get ….. him. Without having to feel guilty… .plus the vids would be (maybe!) better than ever!!!
It can never mean a lack of concert goers, since he is always amazing and his brand is to do everything different every time. Since he needs no auto tune and photos great at any time or angle, he is a videographers dream.
Thanks, DA. You are your own best advertisement.

This morning I left my hotel room to try the comp breakfast. The hotel staff were all abuzz in a corner of the room, checking out someone’s cell phone. Seems David Archuleta had just left and they had pictures. I am the champion of right place, wrong time.
Last night when David took the stage I noticed all the buttons were buttoned. Looking at the other four fellas on stage (two with guitars, one for percussion and a cellist) I realized David was the only one securely buttoned. It occurred to me that David was the only one of them that I would have bought a ticket to see. Perhaps those other guys should start buttoning up. Haha. Just teasing Gladys.
In four days I was able to attend 3 performances. Would love to keep that ratio going. March is looking good but distant.
Everybody Hurts is my favorite favorite. This song is so powerful that it often leaves us stunned at the finish. I liked that he followed that song with his solution for difficult times, referring to the Prince of Peace bringing us solace. I accept that some people might find this annoying, but it was a Christmas performance and it is his kind of Christmas.
The O Holy Night at the end of the Pocatello show left me in tears. I had to remind myself that there would be more. And then today I see he had sent us notice that there would be “more to come for the new year”. That guy is so thoughtful
Dja, I did give Shelley a big hug and told her how much we loved and appreciated her. She is such a sweetie, and kind of reminds me of David, humble and giving.
My companion had only seen David at the Layton show when he was ill. I hadn’t seen her since, but sent her a text to see if she wanted to go back to Layton for the “makeup” show. Ten minutes later the text came “yes! yes! yes!” and an immediate call. She said she had missed my text and hoped I had not given the ticket to someone else. Her enthusiasm made me feel great. When she heard I had a ticket for Pocatello she asked if she could join me. I think the Greatest Fan title might be on the line here. She blames me taking the time to comb my hair for missing David at breakfast.

Djafan… yes! Acceptance. We do all we can to help with that… but like “moms” he seem to listen to us last.
However, this latest experience with the Christmas vid (and hopefully he is listening to Nathan, who does lots of videos !) has woken him up a bit. I mean… some fans risk being taken out of the venue just to film him. Wake up, DA and smell the digital footprint!!!

I am also loving the slightly longer sideburns and Superman upsweep to the hair.

Dayzee, Gosh, I hate that you missed him, but glad he has a new fan! 🙂 I’m thinking there are easier ways to gain a new fan tho! 🙂
David with his Trixin hat, Gracie and his cutie pie sister are all good pics!
I put DA’s name in as my favorite American Idol! Hope he appears on there for the exposure! That would be another help to bring him back.

Tonight I watched the David Motab performance. He looks so joyful throughout the entire program. I remembered when I was leaving that show there was a young girl about six ahead of me and she told her father “David is so sparkly”. I couldn’t say it any better. So hoping to have another chance to see him with Motab.
The audience members close to me in Pocatello were very different from those I have seen before. None had seen him since his mission and when he told us he would sing a new song (Numb) it was obvious that this song was truly new for them. There were several teenage girls in front of me and when he reached the first “I don’t want to feel numb” they were stunned. Watching them be amazed with the rest of the song was great for me. The mother who had brought them all got out her camera and took pictures of the girls being charmed by David. She looked back at me and mouthed “Wow”. That was the best Numb I have heard. but couldn’t find it with Shelley’s videos.
I agree with Bluesky on the hair. He had a new gesture of brushing his hair back several times. Maybe not comfortable with the length yet.
Jan, I have no intention of coming back down to earth. 🙂 I will wrap myself in that silky cocoon of David’s voice and aura as long as I can. Thanks to everyone here who helps keep those memories alive

The Prayer: David Archuleta & Nathan Pacheco
Posted on December 18, 2015 by Christian
I’m not religious in the standard way, and tend to avoid anything overly religious. However, I cannot help but feel that there is something so incredibly holy about the human voice in its splendor.
Here is David Archuleta and Nathan Pacheco with one of the most beautiful renditions of this song I have ever been blessed enough to hear. I find myself playing this video two or three times a day.
Stunning.
