David Archuleta’s Angels DID IT! 1st place!

WOW! Just…WOW. Between the amazing leadership of Pecan Pie and a last minute ingenious idea by Dave Filice to promote more donations, the Stand Up 2 Cancer team, Crush Kids’ Cancer is the team with the most donations overall of any team.  As for the latest challenge, we were closing in on the 2nd place team before the contest ended.  We’ll have to tune in next Friday, September 10 at 8pm EST/7pm CST on ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, Bio, Current TV, Discovery Health, E!, G4, HBO, HBO Latino, MLB Network, mun2, Showtime, Smithsonian Channel, The Style Network, TVOne and VH1 to see who won!

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to Pecan Pie for her ongoing drive and inspiration.  Thanks to Dave Filice for donating three items that got people donating again, helping us reach our goal.  And thank you to the anonymous donor who is giving up a signed Chords of Strength as well.

IF YOU DONATED THE REQUIRED AMOUNT ($25, $50 or $100 or more) DURING THIS WEEK’S CHALLENGE, PLEASE EMAIL PECAN AT SU2CARCHIE@GMAIL.COM so that she can get your name entered for the prizes!

A message from Pecan:

A message from Stand Up 2 Cancer team captain pecan pie of team – Crush Kids’ Cancer – David Archuleta’s Angels: To my very favorite 1089 people in the world: We did it folks! Number one fundraising team! A huge THANK YOU to Dave Filice who donated some unbelievable items and put us over the top in donations. Not only did we raise the most in donations, but we also raised the most in awareness by promoting cancer prevention and early detection for ourselves and for our friends. Let’s keep up the cancer prevention/early detection. Mammary Mondays and Testicular Tuesdays will continue as a reminder for monthly self exams. Mark my words, more lives will be saved through this effort. Thanks again! Pecan pie out!

Adventures of David in Nashville:

Does that sound exciting? interesting? captivating? Well of course it does because we’re always happy to know what David Archuleta is up to…even when the food he tweets about leaves us smacking our lips or scratching our heads! Today David told us per tweet that he had a “Vegan Beet Muffin” so of course I had to find one! Better yet, you can click on this cute little muffin (did I really just say that??) and go right to missionvegan.com where you can learn how to make them yourself! These are Cranberry-Apple-Beet Muffins!

ALSO in Nashville Today~

David tweeted that he was at  WRVW 107.5 The River “watching fellow Jive label mates @HotChelleRae perform an acoustic set” 

Hot Chelle Rae has a very nice vibe. Here they are performing  their latest single “Bleed”

I’m hoping David will also be interviewed and sing a song or two at WRVW while in Nashville!! (hint hint)

@Hotchellerae then responded

and…I can’t help myself; I love seeing tweets like this~(Thanks @frogcooke for the RT  )

 

Yep, suddenly her lunch at Bread & Company got a whole better!!! (If  it was possible for her to continue eating~;) )

Many fans will be in Nashville for this unique concert experience, so fans, we’d love to hear from you! Let us know how it ho ho ho goes!

I still LOVE this song , and until I’m able to play and replay the new collaberation  between David and Joy Williams, “Northern Lights” (*PLEASE let it be on the album*),  I’ll keep finding ways to re-celebrate this gem! I found this cute video made to WFY on You Tube this morning. I love it for it’s simplicity yet it’s strong connection with the message in Waiting For Yesterday. And here’s a true fact: I myself still draw stick people today! Thanks to TheSaniaRizky for putting this together!

Which Song Do You Like Best So Far?

ARRRGGGGHHHH.  I hate these kinds of questions.  David hates these kinds of questions.  But it’s not stopping us from doing a poll, ’cause we haven’t done one for a while, and there’s not a whole lot of Archunews out there today.

So don’t feel badly about choosing one song over the other–you won’t hurt the other song’s feelings, I promise.  We won’t even tell the other song.

We’ve heard other other new songs here and there–Parachutes and Airplanes, Not A Very Good Liar, and If I Could Only Be (very hooky, that song), and we’ve seen several titles of newly penned Archuleta songs on ASCAP: All the Time, Beautiful Distraction, Fall Down, The Last Thing (If Only), and Northern Lights.

But there have only been three songs confirmed publicly for David’s new album: Something ‘Bout Love, Elevator, and The Other Side of Down.  The general public has only heard two of them.

So…of the those two…which do you like best?  Not which one makes the best single, but which one appeals to you the most?  Which one gets the most play time on your iPod?  (Am I the only one left on the planet with an iPod?)

What Does David Notice First About A Girl?

BOP and Tiger Beat interviewed David at the Arthur Ashe’s Kids’ Day and asked him a GIRL QUESTION.  I thought he handled it nicely.

He notices her positive energy…her aura…he can tell if she’s a “really good person.” 

After that intuitive meaningful stuff gets out of the way, he notices her eyes.  Oh, wait a minute, we’re back to the intuitive meaningful stuff: “The eyes are the window to the soul.  You can really see a lot about a person in their eyes.”

Scene on 7 TV Interview At Zoo-A-Palooza

The reporter wonders how David maintains his good-boy image.  Image?  That’s not just an image, my good woman.  That’s just David being David.   Supernicehappy.

David would choose Elton John for an American Idol judge.  Cool.

We posted this video on Monday–we posted the whole story with pictures and videos from the girls with the “Modest Is Hottest” poster–but here’s the video on YouTube:

Sing Along to Elevator With Tom

I love our FOD’ers.  They are so dang talented.

This is WAY fun.  I’ve already played it and sung along more times than I care to mention.

Karaoke heaven.

Thanks, Tom!
