Abrra and Djafan:
Can I just say that I am so glad this all happened this year and not last? This year he is able to show up, be relaxed, nod to the cameras, hug people, be present: all the things that he would have done before – yet struggled with, and could not have done at all last year.
I miss the “cute” teen – like I miss my own kids teen years – no problem there. I love the DA now, and all that is now available to him, both from the world without and from his world within.
*sigh*
Happy “mom” feelings.
Go get ’em DA!!!!

It felt with so good to get this IG from David. He even sounded a little like the old David to me. I have to say that I had mixed emotions about David’s part in the Idol finale. I was surprised he didn’t have a singing part, showcasing his talents like they did for the others. And I was also happy that he was happy in all the pictures I saw of him.
But after examining my feelings as a long time fan, something just seemed not right, like an imbalance, similar to how I felt at the results of Season 7. It felt as if the last piece to the puzzle didn’t fit. I didn’t want Idol history to close without acknowledging how significant David was to the show.
Little did I know that he felt badly too and didn’t mean for it to happen this way. Celebrities often have scheduling conflicts making them unable to attend events. He felt bad that the fans felt bad and wrote an explanation. He made me, for one, feel better to learn that it was not that they didn’t want him to sing and it was not that he didn’t want to sing. It was just one of those things that couldn’t be helped.
The explanatory IG was a very nice gesture on his part!
Thank you, David. ❤

David will never stop showing concern about how the other guy feels. My goodness, what other performer says , “Yeah, I am sad I didn’t sing but also happy I was there. Really, if I had sung I would’ve taken someone else’s spot and I think it worked out how it needed to. Someone else needed to give out what was in their heart this time.”
And then, “No worries, I will keep finding ways to sing up ahead as long as y’all keep supporting. Thank you for your continued support and concern! It’s nice to know people still care enough to ask.” He wonders why we love him… why he’s our #1 Idol.
I’m glad that he was able to be there. That he was able to share in the happiness that was there. That he didn’t have to feel the stress that he may have felt had he performed. Yes, sometimes things don’t work out just the way we would like them to, but in the end it’s usually the best way. And…. that he was able to recognize those things that have helped make him who he is.
David….. you are still ‘just David’!!! ♥♥

Saw a few clips of David on Twitter from last December’s Make A Wish event where he performed. I thought it would be nice to share again with some extra clips.

Abs, thanks for bringing over Brooke’s blog on IG. She has a cute little daughter “mini me” and is expecting a son in Nov. She is so nice.
And the photos and vids from Makelle. I remember them from when they were posted earlier and think she is so cute. It was awesome for David to do that for her. ♥

Abrra, I had heard about Brooke but hadn’t read her words, what sadness. It makes no sense to me.
Bluesky, I agree with your sentiments, David probably wasn’t ready last year to be immersed in the idol festivities.
Bebe, it is such a good feeling to see David enjoying himself. And after reading his blog as much as I wanted the world to see and hear him this was probably best for him. There will be other opportunities.
I love this. So glad it was captured for all the fans to see. The energy and sheer joy of all sharing this connection with David is surreal.

re 26. haha Dja, ‘me thinks’ I couldn’t concentrate with David lecturing the class.♥
Glad David posted the Instagram for the fans. Glad he made it out for the final Idol, I think he got more from attending than he realized he would, and that makes me happy. ♥
It was hard for me to get through that show to the end, because I kept seeing places they could have slipped him right in, with no rehearsal necessary! lol (talking about groups) Or maybe had him sing a page out of the phone book! ♥ 🙂
But hey, that’s just me being a fan …who could have done without watching the never ending extravaganza of a certain judges’s performance which took up almost 6 minutes..yeah,that. OK I feel better getting that off my chest,thank you.
anyway, so happy he was there♥and looking forward also to the blog he said he would write!!!
Lupe sure looks good,.love that pic love her hair.
Like mother like son…can’t tell their age.good genes♥lucky ducks! haha
.What is it about David mentioning Thai food again that makes me smile?
Going to sign the card for Tina now. very sad news ,knowing how it hurts so deeply♥:(

This from Masterclass Lady!
“Like many of you, I was so disappointed that David Archuleta was not added as a featured performer during the American Idol Finale last week.
Arguably, he was one of the greatest American Idol finds and that gentleman standing next to him in the above photo – David Cook – shares this unique position in my personal opinion.”
However, David had his reasons and, a few days ago, shared them on Instagram:
(see article for David’s Instagram message)
“So, in other words, David humbly relinquished his spot so that others – particularly the Final 2 of Season 15, Trent Harmon and La’Porsha Renae– could have more time on stage. I love him even more for doing this – as if I need more reasons to love him. What a special young man and even greater role model to everyone, young and old.
However, could someone explain to me why Jennifer Lopez dominated the stage with a number that lasted about 7 minutes or so? Seriously? Does she really need this exposure? We tuned into the show to watch the Idols – not her.
I am sure she would have continued to sell her CDs and pack her shows or whatever without grabbing the limelight away from the Season 15 Top 10. Or from someone as talented as David Archuleta who, by the way, can sing circles around her.
End of rant. More to come. Stay tuned. Comments are now open for business. ”

29…I agree with the rant on JLo! Just ridiculous…the finale was to be for the general audiences, about the finalists and past contestants! Not the coochie, coochie stuff…that was more for a Vegas audience. Didn’t know how long it lasted because I fast forwarded through it! 🙂
My 2 cents of ranting is that I don’t know why “The Prayer” was chosen to be sung, with David not singing it! Couldn’t believe it. I actually didn’t recognize it a first because it was different from David singing. Then I was thinking…that’s David’s song! Not fair! jmopo Just like David was fine about losing, he is fine with not singing on the finale, but that isn’t the way I feel at all!! Dja, I’m not over it either!!!!!!!!! 🙂

I totally agree with the rant about JLo. If I want to see someone with a large booty shake it nearly naked, I can look in the mirror. If I had young children who were watching the show, I would have taken them out of the room. My son used to tell his boys, when they were young, to cover their eyes when something came on he didn’t want them to see. I took them to see the animated Tarzan years ago, and when Tarzan kissed Jane, I looked at the boys and they had their eyes covered. So funny. They definitely would have had them covered for that mess with JLo.

Lynnella, that’s a cute story about your grandsons. I can just picture it. 🙂 Another song that was sang on AI was “No Air” that David sang with Jordan Sparks….and no David! 😦 Hope it doesn’t take me another 8 yrs to get over him being slighted again! And Constantine’s face always being on camera didn’t help me either! Ok, rant over…I think….
