David has created lots of buzz in Arizona as he headlines a concert at The Constitution Fair in Gilbert. Fans have come from all over the country plus Canada and Mexico to see David’s first United States performance since his epic Asian Tour last month. Lots of goodies today! Several interview videos including one that revealed an upcoming U.S. Holiday Tour!
Marylee_Angel received a reply tweet from David today when she tweeted:
@DavidArchie We’re sitting here on Twitter wondering about VIP at your upcoming Tour…what are the chances? *pretty please* 🙂
to which David replied:
@Marylee_DAangel I think the chances could be good.
@DavidArchie: Getting ready to sing for tonight’s @Dodgers game. Cool being on the field.
@idolsnow: DAVID ARCHULETA sings National Anthem at L.A. Dodgers home game tonight and “God Bless America” at 7th inning stretch.
@abc123Jime89xyz: “Giving David Archuleta a song to sing is like giving Picasso paint and a brush. The outcome is a masterpiece.” *sigh*
@Dodgers: Nailed it. Great job! RT @DavidArchie: Getting ready to sing for tonight’s @Dodgers game. Cool being on the field.
@clairbearattack: Thank god for the national anthem otherwise I never would have heard David Archuleta live.
@PriscillaE4: @DavidArchie just gave me the chills while singing at @dodgers stadium 🙂
Take us out to the ball game, David!
We’ll buy you some and
We don’t care if we NEVER get back! LOL! Ah, the simple joys of being a David fan. Like knowing for good and dang sure no one else can sing patriotic songs better than him. He opens his mouth and suddenly we feel all andÂ
and as cheesy as this post. We also feel a renewal of hope in humanity and so much pride in him! It is impossible to listen to him sing the National Anthem or God Bless America without getting chills. You don’t even have to be American to feel it. You just have to be. He sings it to us and makes us understand:
We are a united state of fans, one world, one love, one Voice.
