Happy New Year from The Voice ~ David Archuleta
Posted by bebereader on Thursday, December 31, 2015
As we prepare to ring in 2016, one can’t help but reflect on the past year. As a forever fan of the most amazing singer in the world, of course I am overjoyed for David’s accomplishments but the icing on the cake for me is that David himself made the decision that he wants to do music, wants to continue doing music and announced it to his fans at recent shows. I never had a doubt that he would do anything else but share his velvety voice with us, but to hear him say it aloud meant everything and more.
Personally, I would love to see another New Year’s Eve performance on TV such as this one from 2010, where David performed a few songs on Fox’ New Year’s Eve Live from Vegas! Even if it’s not on New Year’s Eve, any TV performance will do. Exposure, exposure, exposure!

Have a safe and happy New Year’s!
Here’s hoping that all of your wishes are fulfilled this year!

Thanks, Bebe! I would love to see David on the national stage again where everyone can see his magnificence! I don’t make resolutions, I wouldn’t keep them! 🙂 I will always support David and his music, that has been my every day resolution for about 8 yrs now!
Wow, Abs, I wasn’t watching the time on the video and when it stopped I was surprised and disappointed! 🙂 I wanted more, more! lol 🙂 I can sure see the difference in him from the New Year and the current video…he is so much better….and I never thought he could be. He just gets better and better and I love it!
Again, Happy New Year everyone! Have a safe, prosperous, happy and be blessed by a lot of David in 2016!

We need to teach that young man who posted about his mamma, what a vortex looks like. 🙂
I thought it was just me but I have watched his shoe soles for years. lol I attribute it to walking on air and owning 5000000000000000000 pairs of shoes. I wear basically 2 pairs of shoes, sneakers in summer and slip on suede “comfort” shoes in winter. I don’t understand why one needs so many shoes.

Nice to see so many David mentions on twitter about his time on idol. He truly was a favorite.
Jake’s Takes
12-David Archuleta (Season Seven)
If there is one alum that paved the way for Allison Iraheta, Jessica Sanchez, Joshua Ledet and numerous other younger artists to try out for American Idol, it is David Archuleta. From the first note of his audition in front of Randy, Paula and Simon, the audience knew that they were watching a star being born right in front of their eyes. Throughout his Idol journey, his performances gave people the strongest case of the goosies and that he continued to render the judges and guest mentors speechless.
Key Performances: “Heaven,” “When You Believe,” “Think of Me” & “Imagine (finale)”

Abs, I will have to send from my email because my camera broke so the photos were downloaded to my desktop along with the ones on my phone. My phone had about 700 that had accumulated was the reason they were cleaned off. With the concerts in Dec. there were new photos so I thought I would wait to post when things slowed down.

Scott Warner.
In the past, Gigg has also joined forces with acclaimed artists such as Maroon 5, Neon Trees, Gavin DeGraw, Andy Grammer, Sara Barielles and Vertical Horizon.
“The reason they reach out to us is because we have created a tool to give them exposure in unique ways,” Warner said. “If an artist wants to create some buzz around an upcoming tour or an upcoming album being released or a new song that’s being released, we can push and promote it, either through our competition platform or our social media platform, and it goes viral.”

‘American Idol’ Auditions: A Look Back on the Best As ‘Idol’ Enters Its Final Season
David Archuleta overcame vocal paralysis to make his way to the Season 7 Idol auditions. He was just 16 when he sang “Waiting on the World to Change” by John Mayer (with a little help from Randy Jackson). “I want to squish you!” said Paula Abdul. Archie made it all the way to runner-up. and continues to make great music. Check out “The Prayer” , which was released for Christmas last December.
