Dear Hanne, you will be so missed~

Heaven has a new angel today~ Hanne Ankersen~ @HanneDenmark~ We love you~

This afternoon, we received word that our dear Hanne Ankersen (@HanneDenmark) passed away peacefully at home (in Denmark) in her sleep, with her sister by her side. Hanne, a long and loyal David Archuleta fan , a biologist, and a bright and talented women was diagnosed with cancer in late December of 2012.

She fought valiantly through surgery,  2 rounds of chemotherapy, and radiation over the past few months. Despite the great physical pain she bore daily, she was always so very positive and cheerful. It frustrated her to no end that she hadn’t regained feeling in her arm after her initial (cancer) surgery, which prevented her from editing any more David Archuleta photos…but she continued to keep her eye out for new photos to edit in future times~

She expressed her great desire to make it through this battle, and to be holding a sign for David in his 2014 welcome home video. Even more, she planned to travel wherever David would first be performing when he returned from his mission to see him again, and to hear him sing. She often stated what a great comfort it was to have David’s music, and You Tube videos during the past months. She shared  how very blessed she was by the love, prayers, and support of her entire David fan family, and also the additional support and encouragement she received from Kari.

Dear Hanne, we are so grateful to have known you, whether to have met you, conversed with you online, or to have enjoyed your artful edits. We were all blessed by you and you will be so greatly missed. For you today, may you hear David in a whole new realm singing to you~ Heaven has a new angel today~ 

We will be organizing a group gift for Hanne… possibly flowers to be sent along with an additional gift for her family. Please stay tuned for further details~ Thank you, and please keep her family and friends in your thoughts and prayers.

Pop City Life Poses an AI  Judging Question

American Idol: Former Contestants as Judges?

According to a new report from Vulture, FOX is considering a new twist on the judges forAmerican Idol next year. In a bid to boost dwindling ratings, serious consideration is being given to the possibility of having former contestants on the judges panel. Their sources say Jennifer Hudson and Kelly Clarkson have already been approached and Adam Lambert and Clay Aiken are also being considered.

I think this is a great idea. This show has gotten incredibly stale since the judges table has become a revolving door of overpaid celebrities who just want to boost or promote their careers. The meddling of the producers who seemed frantic this year to manipulate the results has become increasingly apparent and this could be the breath of fresh air we’re looking for. If the show can get back to its roots and become genuine again, I might actually start watching again.

If I can’t have Harry Connick Jr. (who seemed frustrated with the show’s b.s.) I would love a panel of contestants. I might prefer to see Jordin Sparks instead of Hudson, who seems to be everywhere on my TV lately. If she’s not warbling at me about Weight Watchers, she’s taking over Smash. David Archuleta probably wouldn’t be considered because he’s just too nice. While his criticism wouldn’t exactly be constructive, it would be hilarious to watch him attempt to be critical of someone with his smile and laugh. How would he have reacted to William Hung or any of the awful auditions? Think of the look on his face! Cutie pie.

Who would you like to see on the judges panel next season? Can American Idol be saved?

*** Yesterday Pop City Life tweeted out this article which posed a question and mentioned David. Fans were quick to respond. Here were a few twitter responses:

Our Own Mary Lou also offered a  great comment on the article.

What do you think of David as a judge? He’d certainly be about the most positive and caring judge any reality show could ever have! He’d also probably have some fun and random comments to keep the mood light. What do you think about critiques? Would it be too difficult? Maybe in a few years? Thoughts?  Click the Pop City Life banner above and head over if you’d like to leave a comment. And thanks to Pop City Life for their great continued support of David Archuleta.

It’s a ThrowBlack Thursday!

Today, the colors of/on David pictorial continues with a look at black on David! Classy, goes well with anything, elegant, striking, edgy at times, and timeless!!! ……Oh, and the color black is all of those adjectives as well

Black and the jacket…need I say more? ok, well I’ll just show you a few more:

~a black jacket on David….most definitely 2 thumbs TOSOD!!

Oh yeah!!!

Mmmm hmmm…

The Ford Day jacket (above)is an icon!!

Now this black leather jacket in stride is just plain cool!!

And of course we love black T’s !!

~a personal fave of mine above…especially after cropping myself out! lol

Graphics with black Ts are fun!

Graphics with a meaningful cause BETTER YET!!

V necks & a bit off-black always work for me!

Yup…. Can’t do much better than a basic black T.

…Except a black suit maybe~

The black suit truly enhances David’s holiday singing~

most definitely: David + a tailored black suit = WINNER every time!

Although looking that good in a black suit might pose a whole new set of problems

Then there are black accessories!

Black is always a hit when used for accessories i.e. scarves

…Or shoes  although a black lace could potentially be hazardous when untied!

Add black in the form of a cardigan and  David will AMAZE you ! <-Click that..I dare ya!

I could go on and on, but since this is a “lite” post day, I’ll hold  a number of these blackness beauties for another day~ perhaps when we explore…hmmm how about black and white?

 

Yeah, I think that just might work!  **credit the above B&W epic-ness to Tina!** go ahead, click on it ..make your day!

A Vid Pick Celebrating Black~

Closing today with a video pick where David shines his radiant and fun self wearing black in Manila. Love this interview. Thank you to Nareejo and JR for the vid!

And one more because we love David’s True Colors!

**note** I may have missed “the red pants” in yesterday’s “red” segment so this should make up for it. Plus, you can learn some Spanish!
Have an awesome rest of Thursday, folks! Kalei will be back tomorrow!
