You-ooh Are Someone To Love ~ David Archuleta
Posted by bebereader on Tuesday, January 2, 2018
In the roughly ten years that I have been a fan of this young man, David Archuleta, he has come a long way, in terms of talent and stage presence, speaking to the public at large, sharing personal stories, overcoming shyness, and embracing confidence issues, as he calls them. He has grown up! He has already learned how to ward off rude questions posed by interviewers.
However, as a parent, there were many times (in an alternate universe) when I wished I could have helped him in his journey, when I could have told him that it’s okay when he makes a mistake during a performance, that he is so past having to explain any blunder and that it happens to everyone.
I wish I could encourage him to use his genius as a musician to give him the strength he needs to overcome his shyness. And that we, his fans adore him, flaws and all.
I wish I could tell him that he owns every stage he performs on and not to be alarmed when he sees thousands of us in the audience, waiting for him to sing. When you’re that talented and charismatic, the audience just wants to be part of your universe.
There. I said it. 😀

What in the world is he doing in Paris!!!!? Looks really cold there. I can’t seem to find his IG story, just the picture. 😦
Abrra
His IG story was a short video of the tower, 10 seconds. I think he removed it. Someone in comments said it was illegal to photograph the tower at night, it’s copyrighted.
“You can almost never find videos or photos of the Eiffel Tower at night on stock sites. Why is this? Because the Eiffel Tower is copyrighted when those lights are twinkling in the night sky. This 4-minute video from Half as Interesting explains why.
European Union copyright law states that an artistic work (that could be a photo, video, song, or building) is protected during the lifetime of its creator, plus another 70 years.
Most countries have a “freedom of panorama” law, which allows you to photograph a skyline and include copyrighted buildings in your shot. So while you’d be perfectly okay capturing a photo of Big Ben in London, you just couldn’t go off and build a brand new version in your backyard without infringing copyright.
But the EU allows countries to opt-out of including this freedom of panorama clause in their copyright laws. France has chosen to utilize this exception.
The copyright owner and creator of the Eiffel Tower died in 1923, so in 1993 the image of the Eiffel Tower entered into the public domain. That’s why Las Vegas has its own Eiffel Tower, built in 1999.”

Dear DA
It is hard enough to grow up… for all of us. It is (I can only imagine) much harder to “grow up” amid a lot of social scrutiny. Thank you for your courage, goals, imperfections, hardships, talent, shortcomings, love and …. more, more, more courage. Thank you.
I do not have to live with the social scrutiny that is a constant in your life. Thank you for not bowing to the temptations that can loom so large and yell so loud. Thank you for doing the things you need to do, the things that help you to stay grounded with all the pressures that are simply part of your job.
Thank you for being true to the joy within you… and for taking the time and spending the strength to get stronger. (I am not saying this well!! *_*) But dear DA…. being true to what gives you strength, helps to allow all of us to remember to take the time to search for where our own strength comes from, to be willing to become and then to share our own “best”.
Thank you.. I wish you the best New Year for 2018.
And to all of you here at the Voice…. Thank you for being so consistently your selves and for sharing who you are here this site. Thank you!!!
Have a Wonderful New Year!!!

A few weeks ago I seen a snippet of the video on FB and Twitter. It was taken down immediately so evidently it wasn’t to be released especially with them still working on it. The video I seen was Spotlight Down. Maybe it was put out as a “feeler” and the real one will be a different song. I don’t know, I only know I seen the snippet.
Thanks for the Saturday puzzle! Nothing like a 1,000 David photos to work on! 🙂 Actually, I finished it faster than some of the others. 🙂

“Supernatural Nashville captivated the mayor chasing idols singing praise
(Epoch Times, January 21, 2018) (PM Episodes by Mike Levi, Nashville, USA) On the afternoon of January 20, two performances by Shen Yun North American Troupe at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center in Nashville ended perfectly. The afternoon session Full. The mainstream audience from all walks of life praised the performance. Whether it is artistic value or profound connotation, the charm has made them deeply touched and amazed. Many viewers said they have never seen such a colorful and profound performance.
The Shen Yun program shows that the practitioners who believe in “true, kind, and forbearing” are those who persevere in believing in persecution and are shocking many audiences. In addition to provocative and enlightening lyrics, many viewers have asked what is “Dafa” and how to find out about More about Dafa.
“I think the show is fantastic!” Mayor Bonette A. Dawson praised it. She said this is his third time watching Shen Yun performances. Bonette A. Dawson is the mayor of his hometown of Greenbrier and the CEO of the $ 228 million Old Hickory Credit Union. Her legend has boarded the CUNA newscast program.
Watching the show with Dawson was friend Judy Fentress. They unanimously praised the performance is very brilliant, it is recommended that people must go watch. The lively handkerchief dance gave them a “very unique” impression. Dancers quickly throw the handkerchief in the air and catch it in time, showing the vitality and precision that make them feel admirable.
Dawson and Fentress agreed that the performance of the show respect for God resonate, they think Shen Yun show the divine nature is very good, very fond of these content. They finally said they would recommend the charm to people, “definitely recommend!” Dawson said.
American singer: Shen Yun Song touched hearts with rich divine content
David Archuleta is an American singer, who was recognized by many viewers when he came to Shen Yun. David Archuleta was the runner-up to the seventh season of American Idol in May 2008, with many of his top ten songs on iTunes.
David Archuleta said: “The show is truly amazing! The dance of different nationalities is rich and colorful. Different dances show the style of different dynasties. It is beautiful and beautiful. The costumes, dances, The first beautiful song, I am intoxicated. ”
“I think the singer has a very strong voice. Her voice is very beautiful. The message of the lyrics is very moving. Although I do not understand Chinese, I can understand the Chinese translation of the lyrics on the sky, which is very unusual I did not know a lot about the divine nature of Chinese culture. ”
After the show, David Archuleta also linger, do not want to leave, he repeatedly asked what is “Dafa,” the presence of the host staff gave him a patient answer. In order to express his gratitude, he sang a song “The Moon Represents My Heart” to the host staff in Chinese.”

Watch ‘American Idol’ Alum David Archuleta Duet With a ‘Voice’ Finalist (EXCLUSIVE
“American Idol” season seven runner-up David Archuleta and Madilyn Paige of “The Voice”
season six explore the delicate intricacies of relationships with the release of a new video for the duet, “Seasons.” A gorgeous ballad from Archuleta’s 2017 release “Postcards in the Sky,” “Seasons” is a “relationship song,” Archuleta tells Variety.
Directed by Dusty Barker, the two Utah natives never face each other, but share the same story from different points of view. While Archuleta is bathed in the shadows of dark blue light, Paige is seen from a sunnier perspective — a directorial decision that perfectly underscores the theme of the song.”
