How did this get here?

Where the boys are…

Love that song.

I too wanted to take a second to say welcome to Vox and Andrew!  They are funny and smart and they only had to pay me 20 bucks to say that!  Awwwww…no………………I’d have said it for $10.

We’re lucky to have them on the FOD team and it will be fun to see what insight they can give into being a male Archie.  They do exist and are only growing in numbers!  And I’ll piggyback on Jenny’s comments from this morning.  Everyone is welcome here at FOD.  If you ever have any suggestions for the site, content, David or what I should wear tomorrow, don’t ever hesitate to email us.  You don’t have to be a regular commenter, chatter or forum visitor to share your opinion and suggestions!

Shontelle loves David!

Shontelle posted another video of David from backstage.  Watch Crush, but then check out Shontelle and David meeting up backstage.  David asks her if she heard strange sounds in her earpieces and sings along with Rhianna, who is on stage at the time.

Hint:  you’ll actually have to roll your cursor over the screen.  That will cause another little window to pop up on the left.  Click that for Archie’s video.

Crush and ALTNOY spins update

Crush:

41 40 DAVID ARCHULETA Crush 980 986 -6 6.214 TOP 40
17 17 DAVID ARCHULETA Crush 1296 1399 -103 6.141 HOT AC

11 8 DAVID ARCHULETA Crush 977 861 116 6.010 AC

What do these Mediabase numbers mean?  I’ll tell you!

Using the Top 40 chart as an example:

41: Chart position last week

40: Chart position this week

David Archuleta: THE musical MAN who’s taking the world by storm

Crush: The best dang pop song of 2008

980: Spins last week

986: Spins in the last 7 days

-6: The bullet.  This is simply the number difference between the spins the week before and the spins last week.  For this example, his bullet is said to be negative and showing a downward trend.

6.214: Audience Impression (AI).  This is an estimate of how many people heard the song in the past 7 days.  Here, 6.214 million.  This is based on how many spins the song received and where the song was played.  Playing Crush in Knoxville, TN is not going to make as big of an “impact” as playing it in Los Angeles.

So let’s look at Crush’s #’s here.  For Top 40 and Hot AC, he has negative bullets, but his rank either improved or stayed the same.  This can indicate a number of things.  During the holidays, the majority of songs take a hit as stations play holiday music, end of the  year countdowns, etc.  An overall downturn in the older songs can keep the song steady in terms of chart position.

Take a look at AC, though!  Crush is picking up steam.  “This Crush aint’ goin’”….no, I won’t.  I’ll resist…

“…away eeyay eeyay  eeyayeyay”

Forgive me.

ALTNOY

Brazilian Poll….translated!!

Patty from Toronto kindly translated this morning’s Brazilian poll…Let’s see what we’ve got!

Also, if you have not voted, GO!  Archie’s ahead, but not by much!

picture-12

Cook or Archuleta?? Which David should be released in Brasil???

Archuleta and Cook are now disputing (or compiting in sales) sales in the United States, and other parts of the world are also investing on them! Here in Brasil, for now, none of their releases has been confirmed yet…..”None of the two has been confirmed yet. But I could speculate that David Cook’s will be released this March”…A Marketing General Manager at Sony Music commented to a POPline team.
David Cook already has a National site, www.davidcook.com.bra But when it comes to the amount of fans, apparently Archuleta is far more superior here!!
(Chart)
Who should be released in Brasil???
Cook   269 votes
Archuleta 358 votes
Both of them  47 votes
None of them  6 voted
**Note that these vote counts are outdated.  Click on the icon above to head over to the site.

Video on Demand

Be sure to visit your local radio station website’s “video on demand” section.  It seems as though ALTNOY is just about everywhere.  Stream it from there once or twice per day to show some demand!

Calling all college (aged) fans!

Remember these crazy girls?

They are in college.  Yes…David makes EVERYONE do silly things.

I’ve been chatting with them via email about what David needs to do to break further into that demographic.  I’m not sure where this rates in importance for David right now, but all of these promotion, marketing and industry machinations are FASCINATING.  I went to the University of Georgia, located in Athens, GA.  It was an amazing music city.  We had huge artists come play small venues as favors to their “friends.”  I saw REM with 100 other people during the height of their popularity in the early 90’s.  I saw Dave Matthews at a 500 seat theater.  The B-52’s, Edwin McCain, Soundgarden and on and on and on…it was a great experience and even better exposure for the artist.

All of that to say….I want to hear from you, college-aged students.  I want the good, the bad and the ugly.  Does David have a hope and a prayer right now with your demographic?  Should he even try right now?  If so, what could he do to break through just a bit and gain some 20-something fans (read: fans who spend money on music)?  Give me unique ideas.  What is it like to be an Archie fan in college?  Are you in the closet or did you tell your entire dorm that you were going to the AI concert stop in Atlanta whilst wearing your homemade David Archuleta t-shirt to the dining hall?

Again, I want honesty and some cool suggestions. Email me at beckyfansofdavid@gmail.com.

And for fun and something collegiate, here are the famous UGA Arches…sigh…memories.  OMGosh…Arches!!  LOL!  I didn’t mean that on purpose.  But that’s funny!  Only to me apparently.

Possible change to “stickies”

I’m working on something new for the stickies in the Articles tab.  It won’t be up until later this evening but I want honest feedback.  I promise I won’t cry…too hard.  I’ll be sure to post when it’s up and when you can check it out in Articles….

Intrigued?????  Don’t be…it’s not THAT great!  LOL!

david-4And how did THIS get HERE?!?!

So sorry…had to squeeze one more in before our guys come on and post with sanity and composure.

    Hello!!!

  2. Shelley says:

    Thank you Becky!!

  3. Hey, Becky, before I go hop on the treadmill I have a suggestion for what you should wear tomorrow (hehe)…remember that gorgeous black dress you wore to one of the AI concerts in the summer? The LBD with little cap sleeves, as I recall? The one you wore to have your photo taken with David? LOVED IT! Wear that! :cool:

  4. Karla says:

    Hola.. Shelley and joanie..

  5. Karla says:

    Where is everybody…?

  6. Shelley says:

    So, it says Touch my hand has been spun 26 time. Does that mean its been on the radio?
    (dumb question, I know)

    hi all!

  15. Jana♥☮ oregon says:

    Those Matt Clayton photos are phenomenal and I really enjoyed was it Andrews’s front page commentary about the photos!

    To delete or not delete that is the question….is there a concensus??

  16. Karla says:

    Yeah rika……!!!

  17. Jana♥☮ oregon says:

    Karla!! Hola back atcha!

  18. Russ says:

    Hi kimk from previous thread. We don’t have as much snow as they predicted, maybe 4 inches right now. They had been saying 6 to 10.

    David looks young in some pictures and some, like the one above (Matt Clayton photo) he looks like he is 20. Just my opinion.

  19. Karla says:

    Hi psp..!

  20. Shelley says:

    #10 Karla: I’m doing great! How about you?

    I can’t get the shontelle video to work! :sad:

  21. Karla says:

    You’re right russ..
    Hey jana.. How’s everything..?

  22. Shelley says:

    Hi everyone!

  23. Nate says:

    Hey guys, longtime reader, first time poster here..

    Just wanted to say in regards to Open House Party, please be patient and don’t request ALTNOY.. I know you’re meaning well when you do so, and you’re only trying to help the song, but having OHP spins this early *could hurt ALTNOY*.. It is not at the stage where it can handle erratic changes in spins every week, not by a long shot.. The same thing happened to crush, where it became dependent on OHP spins too early in its lifetime and we had to stress over the song getting three spins every week or else it loses spins.

    Crush on OHP for now, patience for ALTNOY :)

  24. Jana♥☮ oregon says:

    21~Everythings great…love Saturdays! Can sleep in and spend some quality FOD time:)

  25. Karla says:

    Im doing great.. Its to bad i cant see the video either shelley.. :-(

  26. Karla says:

    You’re Welcome here nate…!!!

    Yes! Hi there Nate!

  28. Rika says:

    cool 8) Shontelle

    Well bbl, have to run to the store…

  31. Karla says:

    Everyone is welcome here

    That picture is perfect for the top of this page!lol!

  33. Rika says:

    hi ;-) jana, ;-) karla, ;-) russ, ;-) PSP, ;-) Shelley, ;-) , Welcome Nate ;-)

  34. Rika says:

    32/ditto Shelley♥

  35. frogcooke says:

    I’m with Nathan on the OHP issue. Just request Crush for now on OHP. It’s definately NOT time to be requesting ALTNOY on OHP yet.

    And yes 26 spins for TMH means it was played on radio. Fox All Access program last week played it on their show. Lots of stations play FAA on the week ends.

  36. Joy says:

    Just came over from the last thread. That Shontelle video is cute. I have no idea what she sings though.

  37. Karla says:

    You guys i had this weird dream with David.. Really weird

  38. LK09 (Linda) says:

    Hi Frogcooke!

    Nate-welcome to FOD and I hope you post more often!

  39. Rika says:

    35/hi ;-) frogcooke, I have not seen much of you, or is it just me…

  40. Karla says:

    I want to see the shontelle video but i cant

  41. CarolO says:

    Becky — yes, those pictues from Matt Clayton are UNBELIEVABLE!

    Just “who” is this young man in the photos??? Quite a more mature one that who we saw on American Idol!!

    I don’t know if I can even watch AI this coming week — it’s too painful NOT seeing David!!

    Please keep posting the top photo of David — it’s soooooooo mesmerizing!! :)

  42. Joy says:

    Hi psp and Karla!
    Russ, you are a gentleman to hold your tongue here about your comment on the last thread.

  43. Joy says:

    Karla, ok, what was the dream?

  44. Karla says:

    Hi frogcooke.. Yeah me neither

  45. Rika says:

    ♥I wild card each comment I read, so 43 in this thread…previous thread whoa!

    ♥ok, karla spill it out… ;-)

  46. frogcooke says:

    Im around just havent posted much here. lol I mostly hanging out at yes.com and IDF. But I still check here lol Just dont post hahaha

  47. 4jenn says:

    Just chiming in to agree with Nate and frogcooke. Please request Crush instead of ALTNOY at OHP tonight. It is definitely too early and not stable enough to withstand the differences in spins each weekend if not played a certain number of times. It would probably be best to wait until its at least in the top 40. Thanks!

  48. Karla says:

    Hey joy.. How are you..?
    Ok i dream that he was doing a interview and he announced that he was dating whit emma watson..

  49. Rika says:

    cool 8) frogcooke, thx for info re: Crush vs. ALTNOY @ OHP♥

  50. desertrat says:

    Another first time poster, long time reader and huge fan of this site. Like everyone, I want to see ALTNOY rise in the charts. I’m w/ nate 23 and frogcooke 34 — we might give it a better chance if we hold back on the OHP requests.

    Back to lurking …

  51. Karla says:

    Hey carol..
    And he also said that they we’re dating for almost two years.. Weird

  52. frogcooke says:

    No problem Rika. :)

  53. kimk says:

    Hey guys! Frogcooke and Nate Hi! I understand but I have to tell you it sure is a confusing thing this music business. You mean a slow steady rise? How about one of each? lol Thanks for the post.

    GG Any thoughts?

    Becky New stickies? Haven’t read the new thread yet but I will! Boy did you just jumpstart my ODD!!

  54. kimk says:

    Waving to all the new folks!! YAY!

  55. Karla says:

    It was a weird dream and crazy

  56. Rika says:

    ♥Welcome desertrat ;-)

  57. Rika says:

    48/karla, emma watson?

  58. Joy says:

    Hi Karla, I’m fine. You’re not British by any chance are you? I’m thinking maybe YOU were Emma Watson in that dream. She’s a nice girl and pretty.

  59. Karla says:

    Hola kimk

  60. frogcooke says:

    We just dont want to get too ahead of our selves and get crazy on the requesting thing. Ya know?
    Right now ALTNOY is in the 70’s and OHP spin gives it about 25 spins per time its played. We dont want to have them play it this week then ot next week and have a big drop in spins, since it isnt gettin tons of spins right now. That kind of erratic spin gains and losses is not a good idea at this point. Especially since its only just started getting spins. Its not healthy for the song.

  61. kimk says:

    I think we all want the same thing! David to do awesome! Cause he sure is so I am up for whatever! I will send out a request for Crush right now. By the way when I request things I do both alternating? Wonder if that is a boo boo too?

  62. Karla says:

    No joy im not british im latina..
    Yeah emma watson rika weird right..?

  63. frogcooke says:

    kim as long as your requesting on stations that are playing it. lol It should be fine. And people shouldnt really be requesting more than once a day at that. Unless your specific local dj has said otherwise.

  64. Rika says:

    oh! emma watson-the british actress :lol:

  65. Russ says:

    41/joy, Thank you.

  66. Rika says:

    63/omgosh Karla you floored me :lol: :lol: :lol:

  67. pastel says:

    Hi everyone.

    I must admit I loved Shontelle’s backstage video, although her videographer skills suffer from ADD. Got a little nauseous at one point. David is still so “aw shucks” even after he KILLS his performance! David must have been off eating somewhere when they were handing out egos.

    Hey Frogcooke and Nate. Frogcooke, met you at chat, not sure whether FOD or snarkies. Thanks to both of you for the requesting advice. My radio station in Toronto is not playing ALTNOY yet but is playing the heck out of Crush, like a resurgence actually. Patience sounds like the solution.

  68. Karla says:

    Yeah i wish joy.. Well they could be a good couple..

  69. GG_archudoors says:

    Good evening EVERYONE!!!!

  70. Joy says:

    #67/Karla: But he doesn’t like to be paired up with a celebrity.

    Hi GG!

  71. Russ says:

    Hi GG, How are you?

  72. Karla says:

    Yes from the harry potter movies.. Hermione.. That one rika

  73. Rika says:

    ♥hi ;-) pastel, I’m with you, waiting ALTNOY here in Jacksonville, although I sent e-mail to some radio station for request in a subtle way…you know what I mean… ;-) Although, I heard at radiodisney on our AM station, sound of that radio station so poor here…oh, well, but David doing awesome at radio disney…

  74. frogcooke says:

    Yeah Pastel. lol yeah I lurk at snarkies too haha. Patience is a good idea. Once they start playing its fine to request it lol. Or if theyve done those ‘challenges’ lol

  75. kimk says:

    Forgcooke Oh boy I have the stations in my area all set on my phone and I only do the requests about once or twice a day unless I hear the DJ say text me a request? And they do play Crush so far and they even let me know by text. Good stations. I do not overdue it as I remember the last time and only in my area. I request OHP twice? Once in the morning and once around 6?

    Hey Karla!

  76. Rika says:

    Hi GG, let’s enjoy wildcard! I wildcard each comment I read… ;-) woot! 75 in number now…

  77. Karla says:

    Hi gg..
    You’re right joy.. he should date with me….!!! :-D

  78. Joy says:

    GG: You sent you BF out for BBQ last weekend, I just sent mine out for Chinese. I love take out on a Sat.

  79. pastel says:

    Hi Rika….the rule of thumb seems to be no more than one request per day, so, until it is played, it’s a good practice.

  80. frogcooke says:

    Disney LOVES david lol. Crush is back up to #2 on disney, and altnoy is at #32 on disney.

  81. Joy says:

    Whoops, GG! That should be husband, not BF in my case. :)

  82. kimk says:

    Miss GG! We are having a very interesting convo? What ya think?

  83. Karla says:

    Hola pastel..
    How’s everything kimk…?

  84. frogcooke says:

    good good kim thats the way to request! Not overdoing it. heh *gold star* *thumbs up*

  85. pastel says:

    #73 Thanks Frogcooke! Come chat-sing with us sometime haha!

  86. GG_archudoors says:

    OK TEAM! Open House Party starts in about 20 minutes…. we need you to call in to the request line throughout the show to request ALTNOY! The goal is to get at least three spins a night to help the airplay numbers for the weekend.

    Call 800-669-1010 to request. Show is broadcast from 7pm thru 12 midnite Saturday and Sunday…. If you want to tune in, check the web site for a list of stations across the nation that host it! Let’s do this Team – REQUEST ALTNOY ON OHP!!!

    http://openhouseparty.com/

  87. Rika says:

    80/i agree pastel…i know it will be crazy just like Crush when it starts playing…I agree with frogcook, key is “PATIENCE”…just like what I am doing at VH1…

  88. Karla says:

    Well i gotta go.. Bye guys take care.. Adiós……!!!

  89. GG_archudoors says:

    Hi Frogcooke! Hi Pastel! Hi Karla, Kimk, Joy, Rika, Russ!

  90. GG_archudoors says:

    I’m doing fine ya’ll! Ya’ll ready to rumble on Open House Party? Need to start the ball rolling for ALTNOY on there tonight!

  91. Joy says:

    Bye Karla. Dream big.

  92. pastel says:

    Hola Karla. Sorry, that’s about all I know in Spanish – I’m better in French. Comment ça va?

  93. kimk says:

    Well I am confused now? lol

    Karla Hey I am doing fine here. I think David’s Angels AI is on tonight at 8 but are you are to access it from where you are?

  94. Rika says:

    ♥Adios Karla, let me know if you encounter another weird, crazy dream :lol: with emma watson :lol:

  95. pastel says:

    Hello GG….

  96. GG_archudoors says:

    What’s the 411? Has Frogcooke been availing you all of her expertise? She and Soundscene are two people who have helped me understand a lot of this stuff! Thanks Frogcooke! :)

  97. Attitude/Candy says:

    Sanity & composure…Becky, are you sure you have the right site!! I think I’m detecting a bit of Snarky-ness!! LOL There is so much good stuff to read it takes me forever to get down to the comments!

  98. Pamela says:

    thanks for the input frogcooke and Nate – so if I am understanding correctly – request ALTNOY after it has been added to your local stations’ playlist, and we will hold off on OHR for awhile until it is closer to Top 40. I am a total novice at all of this and really appreciate everyone’s advice.

  99. frogcooke says:

    GG read up a few comments from me and Nathan about ALTNOY on OHP. Ya’ll should still be requesting Crush instead. lol

  100. ♡ Lise ♡ says:

    Something new for the Articles Tab……sounds intriguing!

    AI7 tonight on Fox Reality 8:00PM for me!

    Inspirational night………top 8….David sings ANGELS!

    Isn’t this the night the last 8 are all in white and sing “Shout To the Lord”???
    I loved that performance!

  101. kimk says:

    David’s XRANK is at #4 and #3! He is still going strong!

  102. GG_archudoors says:

    Oh, so we’re requesting Crush still on OHP? That’ll work! :)

  103. frogcooke says:

    Pamela. Thats the plan lol.

  104. Josie says:

    Here’s a question – and maybe it’s been answered, but I was poking around Z100’s website and I noticed that they removed Crush from their playlist. Anyone know why? It’s so odd, because there are many “old” songs still on there.

    Thanks to anyone who knows what’s up.

  105. kimk says:

    Momma is happy the family is happy! :)

  106. Attitude/Candy says:

    Whoaaa talk about conflicting suggestions, GG, Frogcooke…now what??

  107. frogcooke says:

    Yup GG, Crush for now. lol

  108. GG_archudoors says:

    Hi Frogcooke! You know, that has been the 64k question the last few weeks! If we are running with Crush still on OHP – I’m in! Having two killer songs requires a lot of juggling ;)

  109. GG_archudoors says:

    Ok Frogcooke! I have my phone at the ready! :)

  110. Attitude/Candy says:

    Yikes! Are we switching horses again?? A tad bit confused!!

  111. Scott says:

    Hi all, Well am now confused about requesting! We should only reqauest ALTNOY after our station adds it? And if they never add it? Then what? Sorry I’m just not sure what I should do now! Help!

  112. ♡ Lise ♡ says:

    I’ve been requesting ALYNOY via email at OHP……should I switch to Crush?

  113. Karla says:

    No kimk. To bad
    Bye gg.. Bye pastel and i dont know nothing in french.. Bye guys take care..

  114. frogcooke says:

    Josie, I think its because they may not have played in in a while. They use the mediabase request list and I think they automatically add and take off songs. Some of the stations that played the Fox All Access show last week end, had TMH added to their request list.

  115. GG_archudoors says:

    I’m deferring to guru #2 regarding OHP :)

  116. PAtyBrasil says:

    aww I love the Video by Shontelle..lol

  117. Attitude/Candy says:

    Frogcooke- its a good thing I recognized you, or I would have thought it was “others” trying to steer us wrong. LOL

  118. GG_archudoors says:

    Hi Frogcooke! How is TMH getting added? LOLOLOL :)

  119. kimk says:

    Becky lol Biggie for me as I love that kind of stuff! Thanks!

  120. Attitude/Candy says:

    it took my station two months to add Crush, :(

  121. PAtyBrasil says:

    And Thanks every1 for all the votes in this poll here in Brazil!!

    lol lol

    http://www.poplinebr.com/cook-ou-archuleta-qual-david-deve-ser-lancado-no-brasil/

  122. GG_archudoors says:

    Hi Lise! My bad! It’s still Crush @ OHP UFN….. :)

  123. Scott says:

    103 Josie: I noticed that too. Not sure why it was removed but now what do we do ? Neither Crush or ALTNOY is not on the requset page. Guess we don’t request either?

  124. frogcooke says:

    Scott, its just a bit more safer to request once a station has added it thats all. We dont want to run off any stations with too many requests before a station is even playing it. Just looks like too much fan requesting and swamping stations. Thats the main reason for it. Some stations probably wont play it. lol trufax. Some didnt play crush. not much you can do about that. But you can request at your local stations that DO play it. :)

  125. Attitude/Candy says:

    GG-you cant defer, your our Team Captain!! :)

  126. Josie says:

    Thanks froggie :) I hoped it was as simple as that. Actually, I was hoping they were getting ready to add ALTNOY. ?

  127. Joy says:

    Hi Scott.

    So, apparently, it’s all DAVID’S fault for having too many good songs out at once. ;)

  128. Shelley says:

    What’s the phone # to OHP? Should we request Crush then?

  129. frogcooke says:

    The TMH issue was from the Fox all access program playing it last week end. Someone called in and asked to play another song on his album and the dj picked TMH. Because it got played on some stations. A few mediabase request list automatically added it to the list because it was played. Some stations had played it a few times before the singles got switched.. so…

    Mediabase request list doesnt mean a station has officially added or dropped a song.

  130. kimk says:

    lol kind of sounds like The Abbot and Costello bit. Who’s on first? No he’s on third thing? I think it is a good idea to request ALTNOY on the station if they are playing it no? That makes sense to me. How about Disney? They play ALTNOY?

  131. Attitude/Candy says:

    With my station still playing Crush full tilt, I only request Crush??

  132. ♡ Lise ♡ says:

    OK, I’ll go send a request into OHP for Crush right now…….

  133. GG_archudoors says:

    Hi Candy! In matters that affect David, I’ll defer to the most efficient manner in which to get da job done! :) Frogcooke and Soundscene have been at this wayyy longer than me, so in this case – I defer baby! ;)

  134. frogcooke says:

    Shelly yeah, request Crush on OHP. :)

    Josie, yeah I hope Z100 adds ALTNOY soon. lol Maybe when he’s in NY Monday.. one can hope. haha

  135. Scott says:

    123 frogcooke: Thanks . I only request request once a day anyway . I don’t want to be a pushy fan either. So I guess I’ll just wait until they start playing it. Patience is a virtue right ?

    116 Candy: lol ! me too!

  136. Attitude/Candy says:

    GG- I suggest you get something typed up ready to cut & paste many many times over the next few days, Questions will abound!

  137. frogcooke says:

    Disney, request your heart out! hahaha

  138. GG_archudoors says:

    Hi Frogcooke! Can I impose on you to write what you’ve suggested up and forward it to Becky? That way, we can post it on the ARTICLES page and have it at our fingertips…..

  139. GG_archudoors says:

    Hi Candy! I’ve just asked Frogcooke to summarize it so we can have it ready for all questions ;)

  140. ♡ Lise ♡ says:

    Z100 has the ALTNOY video…….I have been streaming that…….

  141. archieluver says:

    6 shelly yeah! that’s right

  142. Josie says:

    Yes, froggie – we can only HOPE! Thanks again!

  143. Scott says:

    Hi Candy, Shelley, Joy , GG ,Lise ,Kimk ,anyone I missed .. How is everyone tonight? Just trying to get the whole requesting thing straight! lol!

    126 joy : Yeah , why did he do that anyway? LOL!

  144. frogcooke says:

    GG if ya wanna just nab my posts and slap them all in a mail to Becky that would be cool. Im sure she could write it better than I could(with the info). HA!

  145. Pamela says:

    frogcooke – sounds like the radio stations are as bad as a political convention – a whole lot of politics! So if we request too much too soon, they view it as fan spam and not as an accurate representation of their stations’ listeners. I think I got it…kinda.

  146. Scott says:

    369 Lise: I have too! I guess that’s all we should be doing there until it’s added to the playlist.

  147. GG_archudoors says:

    That’ll work Frogcooke! I will scan your posts, get em summarized and forwarded – we all just want to be clear, and on the same page round all the boards on the CRUSH/ALTNOY thing! :)

  148. Pamela says:

    gg you rock!

  149. frogcooke says:

    Yup Pamela. Thats the jist of it. haha Just dont wanna tick off the radio peeps. lol

  150. archieluver says:

    I hope the new writers continue to post those gorgeous pics and go crazy over them even if they were boys/men brought in to ensure that not all posts are completely spazzy I love those and refuse to ever part with them

  151. frogcooke says:

    THanks GG :)

  152. Attitude/Candy says:

    142/Hi Scott-me too, I was enjoying Beckys posts and ended up coming in just as the suggestions were coming in from frogcooke/Nate! Took me a minute to get the senses straight! Are you still getting snow?

  153. GG_archudoors says:

    Hi Pamela! It’s a PITA for sure! And you can never be certain sometimes if you’re doing it enough, or too much – but we’re going to get this sorted, and do the most effective thing to get our Crown Prince airplay! :)

  154. Stephanie & Danielle says:

    For those not able to hear Shontelle’s video, the link below worked for us using MSN instead of Firefox:

    http://www.kyte.tv/ch/70449-shontelle-layne/310431-archie-performs-crush

  155. GG_archudoors says:

    No Problem Frogcooke! We just wanna have the most accurate and up to date info ALWAYS about the things that matter for David – cause it’s about him :)

  156. GG_archudoors says:

    OK Team – are ya’ll calling OHP? Let’s get those requests in for Crush!

    800-669-1010

  157. Scott says:

    Thanks Frogcooke for your help , I’ll be a good Archie and only request once my stations add it to their playlists. I don’t want to do anything to hurt David’s chances to have huge hit with ALTNOY!

  158. Attitude/Candy says:

    149/archieluver -HA, the BOYS were not brought in to keep everyone from spazzing, what gave you that idea?? they are here to give Jenny/Becky a much needed break!

  159. kimk says:

    Frogcooke When do we start requesting ALTNOY at OHP? Thanks we love input here!

  160. kimk says:

    Archieluver Funny. Spazzy? Whatever do you mean?

  161. Scott says:

    151 Candy: Yeah , Still snowing but it look like it may be stopping. We haven’t got as much as they were predicting either ( I’m glad about that). maybe 4-5 inches.

  162. frogcooke says:

    I’d wait untill altnoy is at least in the top 40, if not a little further up. Unless they decide to play it for what ever reason….

  163. Attitude/Candy says:

    Well, that was interesting, my station probably hates me! Ive been requesting ALTNOY! LOL

  164. Scott says:

    Candy, Were you able to download to your Itouch using that program?

  165. Russ says:

    Thanks frogcooke and Nate. I will never understand how it all works, I just follow instructions and in the end if it benefits David that is good enough for me.

    Hi Scott. How much snow?

  166. kimk says:

    Scott I guess that is good as you won’t be snowed in.

    Does anyone know what order David comes up tonight? The Panthers game is on at eight and I will have to sneak the little Angel in. Thanks!

  167. Rika says:

    ♥hi ;-) Scott!

    ♥I have been reading all the info re: Crush vs. ALTNOY, two things from me, IMO 1)when they start playing ALTNOY in our area, I will be requesting more, for the meantime I am doing an e-mail request of consideration. I have been requesting Crush most of the time. 2) Patience is virtue, I agree with Scott. Bottom line as what Jenny always says, Trust the Archuleta!

    ♥Yes, Pamela it’s all politics…oh, well, I remain to do my DDD (daily duties for David) diligently. ;-)

  168. GG_archudoors says:

    Hi Team! I have copied all the suggestions from Frogcooke and Nate re: Crush OHP requesting, and will edit and summarize them into one document – I’ll forward them to Becky by tomorrow to add into our ARTICLES page… we will get better and smarter in all things related to David, and I am always open for sound advice – cause it’s about doing what best and right for the Crown Prince!

    GO DAVID! AND GO CRUSH ON OHP! :)

  169. Russ says:

    Oops, guess you already answered the snow question Scott.

  170. GG_archudoors says:

    Oh… and sorry for any confusion…. I was just going with what at the time seemed best, so I chalk it up as a learning experience ;)

  171. Scott says:

    162 me too Candy, Guess it’s Time to shift gears!

  172. GG_archudoors says:

    Hi Candy! Who could hate you? :)

  173. Attitude/Candy says:

    163/Scott- I did DL the program but havent tried it yet, hope to this evening.

  174. Rika says:

    156/Agree with you GG, bottom line, it’s all about David! ;-)

  175. Russ says:

    GG, didn’t lose any credibility with me, you’re still the Captain.

  176. Andrea C (pittsburgh)myfav4evr says:

    hello everyone…been lurking….reading about the requests…. I called OHP and requested…’CRUSH’…. and how many time should we request on OHP….just once??? :)

    and thanks Nate , frogcooke and always GG for the info !!

  177. GG_archudoors says:

    Hi Kimk! I have a house full of my BF’s peeps over to watch that game – I have my office door closed, cause I could care less about that game :)

  178. Okay guys I have a few questions. They are random but important

    What day(s) will David be in NY?? Where can he be found each day?? Hotel?? JK. about the last one (kinda :oops: )

    Who has the page with the faces things?

  179. ♡ Lise ♡ says:

    kimk

    I don’t know what order he is in tonight……….David sings Angels!

    I think the group of 8 sing shout to the lord tonight & they are all dressed in white…..

  180. Attitude/Candy says:

    171/GG- Apparently peoples 10 year old nieces!

  181. Rika says:

    YES! 175 Wildcarding…how can someone hate David Archuleta, I am saddened to read the VH1 scroller hating our David…oh, well, they can’t steal my joy, I’m living on the happiest place on earth-the Archuland and the FOD city… ;-) Wildcard everyone!

  182. Scott says:

    169 GG: No prob. We always value your thoughts on these things . We are all learning as we go !
    Hi Russ, yeah not as much as predicted. It is still snowing but looks like it might be winding down.

    Kimk: yeah I’m glad of that . I need to get out of the house and do some things tomorrow>

    Hi Rika! how are you?

  183. GG_archudoors says:

    HI Andrea! You can call and request Crush up till 12 midnite… I’ve gotten through 2x so far – WOO HOO!

  184. Attitude/Candy says:

    RIKA!!!I loved your video, great job!! SOT is one of my fav songs!! :)

  185. Andrea C (pittsburgh)myfav4evr says:

    GG__ we love you… !! you are one wonderful fan commited to guiding us in the right direction to further David’s popularity……it is new to all of us too…. I always appreciate what you do for the site along with Becky and Jenny and Richard…and all the team, we are a learn as you go…… :)

  186. Attitude/Candy says:

    177/davidafan4ever -As far as I know he is in NY, Monday & Tuesday, if there are other appearances Im not aware of them.

  187. Rika says:

    ♥BTW, i just had a thought GG, Are we ok wildcarding to the max @ VH1? I am still unclear why Crush was removed, all I knew because it was the #1 Video of 2008?

  188. 183. I love SOT 2. Did you know he co-wrote it?? Pretty awesome right!

  189. kimk says:

    GG Ok Sirius has ALTNOY on the list so it is ok to request it there. Disney Radio too. XM 20 request form has Crush on it and you can call in ALTNOY. But how about AT40.com? I know they don’t have ALTNOY yet but do they still play CRUSH? Thanks.

  190. Attitude/Candy says:

    Same here GG- I always defer to you :)

  191. GG_archudoors says:

    Hi Scott! Thanks! You really have to be on your toes in this game! I have read, researched, asked ten million questions to try to understand how a lot of this stuff works… and people like the Soundscene’s and Frogcooke’s have really been a blessing to help sort a lot of this stuff out ;) I never want to steer anyone wrong, or give unsound advice or info, so I check, double check and recheck anything I post to try and make sure it’s correct – this is all about the Crown Prince, and what best benefits him…. GO DAVID! ;)

  192. Rika says:

    185/Thanks Candy, IMO SOT is one of the most beautiful song of David, it does relate to everyone…SIMPLY AMAZING!

  193. Thanks Candy! I am going to “research” him now

  194. Scott says:

    179 Candy: lol!
    Yes ,gg El Capitan!!
    Rika: that’s right ,the haters can never take away our joy of supporting David! I just ignore them!

  195. pastel says:

    ……so, my question is……..how do you know when a radio station at ALTNOY on it’s playlist? Do all stations list this on mediabase?

  196. Hello! Just hopped off the treadmill…hey Candy! Hey, Scott!

  197. archieluver says:

    177 if he isn’t in NY yet he is really going to have a tough time getting in by Monday the weather doesn’t look great but sunday night might be manageable for him

  198. GG_archudoors says:

    Hi Kimk! More than likely, AT40 is still playing Crush… so until we see or hear otherwise, continue Crush request there ;)

  199. pastel says:

    Rika….don’t read the tickertape at the bottom of VH1. Lots of them don’t make sense anyway!

  200. GG_archudoors says:

    Hey Joanieeeeeeeeee!

  201. Attitude/Candy says:

    davidafan4ever -Aside from the beautiful vocals, I love the message! And the fact David co-wrote it makes it even more special.

  202. Peacesign☮(David crushed the competition on hit or miss tonight!) pam! says:

    Hey everyone!!

  203. pastel says:

    Hey Joanie…good for you! Have you figured out out to balance the laptop on the top of the treadmill yet?

  204. Scott says:

    Rika , yes your video is great! Ilove SOT!

  205. Russ says:

    177/davidafan4ever, you mean the pics beside screen names? Go to http://www.gravatar.com. Do you have pics you want to use on your computer?

  206. Rika says:

    183/i’m awesome Scott, thanks for asking…keep warm, and wear a scarf ;-)

  207. archieluver says:

    200 pastel yeah that stuff is kinda stupid I don’t pay much attention to it I kinda started to ignore it when there was a thread designed to rally fighters and encourage hatred between the two David’s fans bases I decided that it was stupid and abandoned reading them all

  208. Attitude/Candy says:

    are the comment numbers out of sync for anyone else??

  209. ♡ Lise ♡ says:

    My mediabase New York Radio request link has 3 of David’s songs on their list, Crush, ALTNOY & Touch My Hand

    Should I be requesting all 3?

  210. kimk says:

    GG Confused here? You don’t think we love you to ever lovin pieces?? Well we do! Boy I’ll tell ya it is quite confusing but I love to learn all this stuff. The more you know the better we are off and David.
    lol Yes the game. Hub’s Boss’ team. Have to watch. Financially motivated. May be quizzed later. Umm The politics of the workplace. In other words fuel to butter up!

  211. Becky says:

    Frogcooke is baaaaaccckk!!!! WOOT!
    And hi to Nate and Carolo and all of the other new names I see! I’m so happy!

    Frog…nice avi. I had a Gravatar, but it doesn’t show up anymore!

    Off to RL for a bit and then I’ll be back…I’m sure you’re all going to sit here waiting with baited breath! LOL!

  212. Peacesign☮(I love that Ford Day Jacket~Can u tell?) pam! says:

    Oh my gosh sis…Just came from your myspace page! I can’t breathe!!!

  213. Attitude/Candy says:

    Hi Joanie- How was your treadmill visit.

  214. Patty B says:

    Hi to all lovely Angels!
    Just taking a little break from a family dinner here, want to welcome Vox and wondeful Andrew and their new “appointed” duties, and I will be looking forward to all their news and tidbits, great to know and enjoy things from their perspective also! wonderful for FOD!!
    Sending requests to the local radio stations here in Toronto, what are they waiting for?? We can’t fall behind here, David loves Toronto and we should encourage all stations to return the compliment via ALTNOY play!! although they are playing the heck out of “Crush” and talk about him constantly..but I will not rest until they get our new baby on board! When I emailed CHUM 2 days ago, I got a reply from Sue MIlls, one of their music coords, and she wrote (to my stating how good a song it was and how amazing and talented David is!) “Yes Thanks, we know…” lol..so I guess it is a matter of time, hopefully LITTLE time now!!
    I am so elated he is doing so great in the US…I knew it wouldn’t be any other way!!
    Becky, I am so thrilled for you going to the Hard Rock Cafe thingy!! how excited you must be…can’t wait to hear the news…and those Kim and Square Mag photos are simply a DREAM!! how do we get that mag here in Toronto?? does anyone know? and before I forget..Joy, Shontelle sings that “Tee Shirt” song…she is such a great fan of David, and you can tell how much she loves and admires him!! I love Shontelle!!
    Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

  215. kimk says:

    Lise Hi! lol Well I guess we will really go gah gah when he a whole volume to chose from. Good question.

  216. Attitude/Candy says:

    Becky you do have an avi, of course we will be waiting, you are loved ♥

  217. ♡ Lise ♡ says:

    Rika……………..Great video with beautiful pictures of David and set to SOMEBODY OUT THERE ( my favorite song right from day one!!……..

  218. Whoa, I have just scanned the comments on this thread and I am totally confused and confounded! GG! Our queen of voting…lead us out of this wilderness of comfusion, please! TO ALTNOY…or TO CRUSH? That is the question!
    H.E.L.P.! Now my BRAIN must turn on a dime….Scott? Can you help me with that? :wink:
    Hey, Russ! Did you get my email?

  219. Scott says:

    Hey Joanie! PSP!
    Joanie just got of the treadmill? I just got off the eliptical a little while ago

  220. pastel says:

    Hi Patty B…I owe you a phone call!!!!

  221. archieluver says:

    okay how in the world do you work Gravatar I get to the home page from the link and I don’t know what to click do I sign up or get a gravatar for my blog and what do I answer to all the questions about FOD

  222. 204 pastel: Not yet! Haha..but I do step off every now and again to check on things!

    214 Candy: Sweaty! I will be off to the shower in a few! lol

  223. Rika says:

    ♥thanks pastel, i do ignore them, at times you can’t help but browse on it…but too bad for them…

    ♥205/thanks Scott. Oh, how I loved SOT, i wish to see someday a music video…btw, I loved the artwork created by Steven, I would like to get a copy in a poster format for my wall…anyone knows where?

  224. Peacesign☮(I love that Ford Day Jacket~Can u tell?) pam! says:

    I love weekends on the radio! Heard Crush 3 times and it is on every 3 hours! Can’t wait to hear Altnoy too! At least have heard it 5 times now! And again on monday night at 8pm!

    Hi Scott! Hi everybody!! Hubby is out digging the neighbors truck out of the ditch..lots of snow!

  225. Kristin says:

    Hi Everyone! I, too, am confused. Someone explain, in 10 words or less, what I’m supposed to be requesting. Just give me the name of the song and off I’ll go to do my thing!

    Candyy-The comment numbers aren’t off for me.

    Becky-I will be sitting here waiting with baited breath for you to return! :)

  226. 220 Scott: Do you live for endorphins like I do? Haha….today was pretty good..I actually could have gone another 15 or so, but….well, I am getting my husband off for an evening at the symphony without me. That is good news/bad news!

  227. Scott says:

    219
    Joanie: WishI could help but I may be able to turn a bus on a dime but my it takes at least a dollar to turn my brian! I just can’t Figur it out!

  228. 226 Krisitn! How goes it?
    Becky, when you get a chance, read my comment to you at #3 ! :wink:

  229. Shelley says:

    Hi guys! David sings Angels tonight on AI!! Yay!!

  230. kimk says:

    GG I heard Crush play here on the weekend and I think it was the Top 40 time just recently so I will request Crush. I have been though. Just alternating. Love all this input. I remember when Crush first came out and we so floundered around like a fish outa water. Hey David’s ALTNOY video is still #2 on AOL and I think that is huge! He is not on the front page at AOL news so the video is taking off!

  231. GG_archudoors says:

    Hi Pastel! In regard to your question about knowing if a station has ALTNOY added to the playlist… the Mediabase Add Chart is the tool that list all stations that have added ALTNOY…. it can be monitored weekly to gather that info… for those wanting to keep up with it, I can and will include a link to it when I forward the updated info to Becky… or if you are calling the station to request, it may not hurt to just ask if ALTNOY has been added…. it’s worth a shot ;)

  232. 228 Scott: I have a dollar bill here with your name on it!♥
    Hey, Scott..I understand you were snowed in all day with your iTouch thingy! I imagined you singing “Let it snow let it snow let it snow”! :roll:

  233. Attitude/Candy says:

    Rika, I saved it, burned to a dvd, and taking it to Kinkos to have a poster made!

  234. Kristin says:

    Hi Joanie! ♥ It took me forever to figure out why you were telling Becky what to wear tomorrow!

  235. Attitude/Candy says:

    228/Scott well once you turn “Brian” you can use that dime to turn your brain. Sorry couldnt resist LOL

  236. Peacesign☮(I love that Ford Day Jacket~Can u tell?) pam! says:

    Just checked the media base… Crush 6 times today!! *happy dance* gahhhhhhh

  237. Rika says:

    ♥218/hi ;-) Lise, thanks that was Sweet! I loved SOT, all the bonus tracks are awesome! Works For Me, Falling, Waiting for Yesterday, and Let Me Go. The beauty of SOT was David co-wrote the song. How awesome! I wish for a music video and to top the chart soon♥ ;-)

  238. Kristin says:

    230/Shelley-Another performance that I love. Don’t forget that AI7 starts at 3 pm on Tuesday!

  239. Pamela says:

    rika – 182 I hate reading anything negative about David too, he really doesn’t deserve it.
    But there are singers or bands out there I really do no care for and never will, it’s just that I
    would never ever post anything negative about them anywhere. Just don’t do it. I think that is
    one thing about David’s fans. They are very caring people, and as a rule, don’t post negative
    comments about other people. Too bad we can’t say the same of others fans.

  240. Anne-Marie says:

    Hi everyone! I just got back from having dinner out with my parents and we usually go and do some shopping afterwards but it’s getting nasty out there. So I got home early and I’m getting ready to watch AI 7 on Fox Reality. David is singing Angels tonight!

    I’m getting frustrated with my radio station here because I have not heard ALTNOY yet but I did here Crush this afternoon. I remember when Crush first came out in August though, it took a while for them to play it here too- I really didn’t here it play here until September. After that they played it a lot and it was no. 1 on the Kiss 10 at 10 for weeks! So, I’ll continue to wait patiently… sigh!

  241. archieluver says:

    I set up my Gravatar account and chose a picture how do I get it to appear near my name when I post

  242. pastel says:

    Hey GG. I did exactly that with the program director: I asked if ATLNOY has been added, and, if not, when it would be added. There has been some interesting silence. Given this station has been very pro-David, I think there is a method to the madness. So, no fanaticism is necessary, just patience. We are going to keep ALTNOY on these playlists for a very long time so no need to rush.

  243. Peacesign☮(I love that Ford Day Jacket~Can u tell?) pam! says:

    HI Kritin :)

  244. Kristin says:

    228/Scott-Hi Scott! “brian” lol You just can’t figger it out? :)

  245. Scott says:

    226 Hey Kristin: Request Crush until your local station adds ALTNOY to their playlist! ( I think, LOL!)
    224 Rika : Yes I love that artwork too. Don’t know where to get it in poster format, sorrty!

    227 Joanie: I actually do enjoy working on the eliptical, THose enodorphins help keep me awake , esp. during the week! I usually do 45-50 mins a day. Sending your husbanmd out for an evening on the town alone huh ? good news / bad news ? Are you still not feeling good?

  246. Carlos says:

    It seems radio has a different policy for David and other artists,it doesn’t matter how much we request song they already have an agenda ok how many times it will be played at least that’s what friend I radio tells me here in Canada

  247. Attitude/Candy says:

    archieluver you have to clear your cache, personal history it usually takes 15 mins or more to show up

  248. GG_archudoors says:

    Hi Kristin! In a nutshell, we are still requesting Crush on Open House Party, until ALTNOY begins to enter into the Top 40… we are holding off requesting ALTNOY on our local stations until they have officially added it to their playlists….

  249. Kristin says:

    Hi Anne-Marie! How was dinner?

    Hi PSP!

    242/archiluver-It can take about 15 minutes or so for it to show up.

  250. Peacesign☮(I love that Ford Day Jacket~Can u tell?) pam! says:

    230/ Hi Shelley aka Target girl..sounds like u are really enjoying the AI re-runs..dangit, I sure wish I could get it here! All these cable channels..u sure would think!!

  251. Rika says:

    234/Candy, thanks…I will do the same…i love that picture, David sitting on the grass with a guitar…Steven, if you are lurking THANK YOU for an amazing art work. ;-)

  252. Kristin says:

    Scott & GG-Okie Dokie! I was thoroughly confused. Thanks for the info!

  253. GG_archudoors says:

    #246 – You hit it on the head Scott! Thanks! ;)

  254. 246 Scott: Still not, dang it…they are playing Mozart’s Piano Concerto, which I love, so that’s the bad news….the GOOD news? I can have an uninterrupted and lovely visit with all of YOU tonight! ♥

  255. archieluver says:

    250 kristin no I don’t know how to try to make it show up on FOD I have my account made and Gravatar chosen cropped and approved how do I put it near my name on fod??

  256. GG_archudoors says:

    No Problem Kristin! Welcome to the radio and music bizz, my sista! :) Never a dull day, but we’re always trying to find the most effective way to do right by the CP! :)

    I know. They just started playing Crush here in Michigan..but only on weekends..which makes zero sense…and as much as it is requested..they just don’t play it during the week ..only late at night and on weekends. So of course, I only listen on weekends. :lol:

  261. Kristin says:

    256/archieluver-Like I just said at 250. . . it takes about 15 minutes or more for your avatar to show up. Be patient and eventually it’ll appear.

  262. Attitude/Candy says:

    arhcieluver-you have to use the same email address here that you registered with at gravatar.

  263. archieluver says:

    DANG IT STUPID GRAVATAR HOW ON EARTH DO YOU WORK THAT STINKIN’ WEB SITE

  264. pastel says:

    #240 Pamela…when you read something negative about David, just go back to Shontelle’s video and just listen to what she says about David. Another performer giving David props, and she doesn’t need to. More people are discovered what David is all.

  265. ♡ Lise ♡ says:

    AI 7 is starting……Michael Johns is up first………

  266. Scott says:

    233 Joanie: Yep just me alone with my ITouch thingy!
    236 Candy : Well Brian needs to be turned around! LOL!
    240 Pamela: I agree 100% .I never write negative stuff about artists I don’t like .I
    245 Kristin: sometimes the Typos here are more interesting than our conversations! LOL!
    nope I can’t figger it out! ( Guess I spelled it wrong too! )

  267. archieluver says:

  279. Kristin says:

  308. Anne-Marie says:

    Kristin- Dinner was very good! We went to one of our favorite Greek restaurants and I had chicken souvlaki. I LOVE chicken souvlaki- in fact, it’s the only thing I order when I go to a greek restaurant!
    Did you say that AI 7 is on at 3pm on Tuesday? How come it’s on so early? Are they playing a marathon or something?

  309. Scott says:

    Russ: I just cleared my Cache , Cool new face!

  311. GG_archudoors says:

  312. Rika says:

    274/oh, Shelly thank you, thank you, thank you, loved SOT,gosh! those pics from Mr. Clayton got me hypnotized and mesmerized, so I created a video to remind me I have CRUSH on David Archuleta woohooo! ODD here and Archuledge…

  313. archieluver says:

    311 Anna-Maire sounds yummy I have never tried Greek food before but I should I will eat a lot of forgien foods it is like getting a little “taste” of traveling to that country (no pun intended)

  314. Kristin says:

    311/Anne-Marie-They have to finish out the season before 8 pm Tuesday night. Tonight they’re on Top 8, tomorrow is Idol Gives Back and then they have Monday and Tuesday to get to the finale.

  315. Anne-Marie. It is a marathon! They are playing top 5 through finale to lead up to S8!!! I can’t wait for S8. Any sure word on if Dean’s daughter made it (reliable source :wink: )

  316. Russ says:

  319. Kristin says:

    I love listening to Jason sing Somewhere Over the Rainbow. . . the lyrics are so jumbled! LOL

  320. ♡ Lise ♡ says:

    Jason is singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow with a banjo…….nice job!

  321. Shelley says:

    LOL! Jason and his funny faces is on!

  322. Kristin says:

    319/Russ-What a difference a year makes!

  323. Rika says:

    ☺whoa! i love chicken souvlaki Anne-Marie, love their salad with the white cheese…hmmm making me hungry! ☻

  324. ♡ Lise ♡ says:

  325. Rika I know!! That guy could make anyone look good. So when you put with David. THUD THUD MEGA THUD!! He is one good looking young man! SEXY!

  326. archieluver says:

    323 Lise I think it is a ukulele (Sp?) but same difference

  327. ♡ Lise ♡ says:

    Kristie Lee Cook is up next……..

  328. Joy says:

    HI. Back again. Offered to watch an R rated movie with my husband, since the kids aren’t home, BUT football playoffs are on. :(
    archieluver and davidafan4ever: Love your avis!

  329. ♡ Lise ♡ says:

    329 archieluver

    Yes, I think you are right!! :-)

  330. archieluver says:

    330 Lise let me now when David is on I don’t get that channel so I can’t watch :(

  331. Scott says:

    320 Joanie: nothing more fun than being home alone with your Itouch!

  332. Shelley says:

    At the AI concert in Oklahoma City someone gave us a Jason CD. I only listened to it on the way home then.

  333. archieluver says:

    331 Joy Thanks knowing how much you guys appreciate it is worth all the headaches and confusion that ridiculously hard to work site causes but I finally figured it out! :D

  334. archieluver says:

    335 really who gave it to you?? How was it any good?

  335. Kristin says:

    334/Scott-You would know! ;)

    I love David singing Angels on AI. That’s when I fell in love with the song and I’m so glad he did it on tour and recorded it. It’s a beautiful song.

  336. Peacesign☮(I love that Ford Day Jacket~Can u tell?) pam! says:

    269/Archuluver..very nice avatar!!

  337. Jana♥☮ oregon says:

    OK I’m back..been WC requesting on VH1 like a mad woman!

    Kind of confused what to do next…GG??? OHP for Crush?

  338. Peacesign☮(I love that Ford Day Jacket~Can u tell?) pam! says:

    291/ Russ..thud!

  339. Joy says:

    #336/archieluver: Well, at least you figured it out. I had to get my husband to help with mine. So, I’m probably never changing it. David will be old and gray and still look like a teenager on my avi. ;)

  340. ♡ Lise ♡ says:

    333 archieluver…………….OK……..it’s fun to watch this over again…..

  341. Thanks Joy!

    I love any pic of David!

  342. GG_archudoors says:

    LOL Joy! ;)

  343. kimk says:

    Kristin Yes speaks volumes but what are in those volumes? Sometimes wonders what he is thinking when he sings?

  344. archieluver says:

    339 Peace Thank You man that Avi made me instantly popular maybe one of those for the school blog isn’t a bad idea I should change it everyday so everyone always wants to talk to me

  345. Rika says:

    328/YES! MEGA THUD!

  346. 342 Joy he might enjoy that!

  347. archieluver says:

    343 thanks! what week is it?

  348. Anne-Marie says:

    Oh thanks guys! I’ll have to make sure I set my DVR to record all the shows that day!

    Archieluver- I love Greek food but I should because I AM Greek! LOL! My mother can whip up a pretty mean spanukopita (sp?) but it takes all day to make because you have to layer the filo dough one piece at a time and spread butter between each piece with the spinach. I really have to learn how to make it!

  349. ♡ Lise ♡ says:

    David Cook is next & then Carly…….

  350. 346 kimk

    It is a whorlwind of emotions I’m sure!

    348 Rika I know. He just has the ability to kill us those eyes. *swooon*

  351. ♡ Lise ♡ says:

    This is Inspirational week…the top 8…………

  352. archieluver says:

    346 Kimk a lot of things probably a lot of cute stuff IDK it would be so cool to be able to read his mind!

  353. Attitude/Candy says:

    archieluver-you avatar will follow you wherever you post now :)

  354. Kristin says:

    346/kimk-That’s what I like. . . I have no idea what David is thinking when he’s singing. I love that he is so expressive and it makes me wonder.

  355. Rika says:

    BRB got to grab a plate and eat…Ann-Marie made me hungry, I can eat a horse :lol: :lol:

  356. archieluver Top 8. Tomorrow is IGB! David in all white. He is an angel!

  357. 334 Scott: I can think of a couple things! :wink:

    347 that looks like the photo that was on yesterday’s post..You must have been the one who really owns it and gave it to her? Hmmm?

  358. Attitude/Candy says:

    Anne-Marie-can you ask her to make me a Gyro, yummy!

  359. GG_archudoors says:

    Hi Jana! KEEP WILDCARDING LIKE MAD FOR ALTNOY ON VH1!

    And we will keep requesting CRUSH on OHP until ALTNOY begins to enter into the Top 40… IN ADDITION, request ALTNOY on your local stations ONLY if they have added it to the playlist… it’s a delicate timing thing, and we’re trying to coordinate this all around the boards… I’m going to be sending Becky an updated summary about Crush OHP requesting, and ALTNOY local station requesting to add to the ARTICLES tab ASAP tomorrow! ;)

  360. archieluver says:

    359 David in all white :drools: *thud* *thud* *thud* I love my angel draped in white

  361. 362 gg at David Archuleta fanblast they were doing ALTNOY on OHP and here we are doing Crush. Is that bad?

  362. kimk says:

    Joy Ok lol Yep David a teenager forever was great but the offered the hub to watch a R movie cause the kids were not home was epic. Cracked me up.

  363. Scott says:

    338 Kristin: I doing something with it right now, thanks to you! LOL!

  364. Attitude/Candy says:

    archieluver/davidafan4ever-Ha, you two do a lot of drooling for 13 year olds!

  365. Becca says:

    Hi Everyone!

    hey Jana, whatz up westie? LOL

  366. Attitude/Candy says:

    *passes the ball to GG*

  367. archieluver says:

    364 simple EVERYONE DO BOTH CRUSH AND ALTNOY ON OHP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I’ll go tell FB the same

  368. Kristin says:

    366/Scott-ROTFLMBO You are getting wittier each and every day!! ;)

  369. Joy says:

    kimk: Well, we rented Step Brothers. It might be stupid anyway. I don’t know. I haven’t heard. But football won out.

  370. archieluver I know he is just incredible!! White is his color it highlight his eyes and hair. It also pulls out his skin tone against his hair. That bring out some of the Hondouran genes. He is really just an attractive young man!

  371. Becca says:

    Jana, you see something different?

  372. Rika says:

    353/Gosh, those hazel green eyes…to die for, when I met him and I looked at his eyes, I was stunned, I can’t talk…i was paralyzed from head down to my toes, i was like…oh my, i have no words to describe df4ever…i think “HYPNOTIZED” ;-)

  373. GG_archudoors says:

    Hi Team! Totally random, but I’m shallow in this regard, LOL….. I have a thing for hazel eyes… my ex had them, as well as my BF… SOMETHING BOUT THOSE HAZEL EYES :)

  374. Kristin says:

    Hi Becca! I see you have a new face too??!!

  375. 366 Scott: That explains the big smile on your face! :grin:

  376. archieluver says:

    367 candy like you don’t!!!!!!!!!!!! I probably drool more than my cousin who actually was born yesterday but come on he is just SO HOT!!!!

  377. Attitude/Candy says:

    Hi becca from an eastie :)

  378. Anne-Marie says:

    Candy/Rika- Sure! Hey, maybe when we all get together for the tour, I’ll bring some along and we’ll all eat it on the archubus! :)

  379. Lorna says:

    Crush on youtube will hit 11,000,000 tomorrow (1,000,000 since his birthday two weeks ago). Let’s see if we can get ALTNOY (theofficialarchuleta verison) some added hits as well.

  380. Pamela says:

    Just sayin’ – Paula loves her rocker boys, doesn’t she?

  381. Attitude/Candy says:

    381/Anne-Marie-Works for Me!!

  382. 367. Candy yes including all over my David pillow case. Because I’m sleep of course. :wink:

  383. GG_archudoors says:

    Fanblast just needs to be updated, is all… I can leave them an update ;)

  384. Attitude/Candy says:

    383-Pamela-Paula loves MEN period!!

  385. Rika says:

    oh, yeah David in all white-my ANGEL♥

  386. Becca says:

    GGDoors/Okay, from reading these comments, Request only Crush on OHP, wildcard ALTNOY on VH1 and only requests ALTNOY if your local station has added it to their playlists? Right?

  387. Kristin says:

    A David pillowcase? I’ve got to get one (you know. . . for Kelsey)! Point me in the right direction!

  388. 379 archie luver braydon is such a cutie. Can’t wait to see him and get to hold that little guy. With any luck he will be a big fan!

  389. kimk says:

    Archie That might not be a good idea. Takes all the fun away of figuring things out. Besides for me I wouldn’t want to know what he was thinking if I met him. lol Just when he is singing. Almost as he really means all the words he is singing? Odd for a young man with no girl yet. But it does make you wonder.

  390. ♡ Lise ♡ says:

    Judges didn’t like Cook’s or Carly’s performance……….

  391. Attitude/Candy says:

    Just got to thinking, I havent been to FB since August, followed J/B here! Been here ever since!

  392. Kristin says:

    387/Candy-She sure does. Each season, she latches onto one of them! lol

  393. Rika says:

    woot! Ann-Marie love that idea, while we listen to David, or we can invite him for a Greek Festival… :lol:

  394. Kristin– ebay I’m sure “Kelsey” will love it :wink:

  395. Jana♥☮ oregon says:

    hey becca…trying to figure out what I need to be doing tonite..in the way of voting…how are ya!!!

    372..Joy, I got a Netflix subscription for my B-day, and watched Stepbrothers yesterday afternoon..it was pretty silly…

    GG~thanks, that is JUST exactly what I have been doing..was a little confused about the Crush/OHP thing..but I do what I’m told…sometimes:)

  396. GG_archudoors says:

    Whoa Archieluver! LOLOLOL…. If you’re gonna update FB, have them request Crush….. to keep it consistent around the boards until further notice :) The goal is to eliminate as much confusion as possible ;)

  397. Scott says:

    371 Kristin: it’s from hanging put with all of you!

    Hi Becca! Hi Joy ( not sure if I said hi before)

  398. Shelley says:

    What show is it when Paula totally messes up when she’s judging?

  399. kimk says:

    Kristin Sheets again? Sleeping on pics of David? Where’s the hub?

  400. archieluver says:

    398 you saw stepbrothers oh wow lucky!! I want to see that it look HILARIOUS!!!!

  401. ♡ Lise ♡ says:

    Our David is up next……ANGELS!!

  402. Anne-Marie says:

    David is up next! Woot! Woot!

  403. GG_archudoors says:

    #389 – You got it Becca! :)

  404. Candy I come here fanblast snarkies and his offical site! I’m very busy! I go to youtube and his myspace alot but I don’t have accounts!

    I love him that coat! Who am I kidding? I love him if he wear a trash bag! haha

  406. Kristin says:

    400/Scott-Hanging “put”! How does one hang put?? ROTFL

    Ebay for the pillowcase? Wish I could just run to Target! Kelsey will love it!

  407. archieluver says:

    399 GG actually I had everyone do both THAT MEANS YOU TOO!!!

  408. Andrea C (pittsburgh)myfav4evr says:

    #390 Kristin…hello…how r u feeling?? I saw you had been sick??? and if you are interested in David pillowcases go to e-bay….they have some there… :)

  409. Kristin says:

    Candy-Do you have the big screen tv tonight??

  410. archieluver says:

    402 kimk I have a David pillow case!!!!!

  411. Shelley says:

    Our Angel is on!!!!!

  412. Paula messed up on Jason on top 5. Let’s just say there was a very reasonable explanation to why it left her empty. IT NEVER HAPPENED!

  413. Attitude/Candy says:

    Ha, Im starting to feel like Whos’ on first…

  414. archieluver says:

    Kristin u were sick :( feel better!

  415. Scott says:

  419. Peacesign☮(I love that Ford Day Jacket~Can u tell?) pam! says:

    347/Archieluver..ha!
    I tell my daughter to put her pics on her locker..bookbag..everything! She is so humble…..

  420. Shelley says:

    CHILLS!!!!!

  421. Attitude/Candy says:

    oh sorry kristin, thought you were asking if I have one, the other answer is NO! FOOTball, nuff said!

  422. GG_archudoors says:

    #410 Hi Archieluver! Huh? I’m not sure I’m comprehending…. are you saying you relayed to FB the info about Crush ONLY requesting on OHP? I’m just trying to get clarity, is all… no harm, no foul..

  423. archieluver we aren’t doing ALTNOY so that the airplay doesn’t drop. OHP plays are important to charts. We are purposly waiting for it to be more established. (around when it enter the top 40)

  424. Russ says:

    390/Kristin, yes, for Kelsey.

    Becca, I like your new face. I was actually thinking of using that one before I settled on the one I have.

  425. Joy says:

    #416/Candy: I must be on third, cause I don’t know nothin’.
    #420/archieluver: You’re younger than us.

  426. Becca says:

    Dang, Idol is on and Jana and I can’t watch it!! Mawwwwwwwwwwwww

  427. ♡ Lise ♡ says:

  430. Kristin says:

    411/Andrea-Doing better today, thanks! I’m going to have to get a few of those pillowcases. . . you know. . . for when Kelsey wears them out. People tend to drool when they sleep! haha

  431. Attitude/Candy says:

    archieluver, Im following it fine too, I was referring to people just coming on and being confused over the voting change, Who’s in First is from way before your young time!

  432. Scott says:

    409 Kristin: I’ll have to show you sometime! LOL! (dang typos)

  433. Anne-Marie says:

    Rika- Love it! Maybe we can get him to put on a Greek fustanella skirt and do the Zorba dance!

Have any Canadians been able to watch the Fox AI special thing?? which channel is it at?? and where can we purchase the Square Magazine?? if anyone knows…thank you!

  435. Rika says:

    David! David! David! my Angel…gosh, love that performance.

    Hottest! Crazy! Crazy!

    Sums it up for me.

    You will sail all the way.

    Did you all notice David’s polo shirt has green specks…oh, GOSH, THOSE HAZEL GREEN EYES!!

  436. archieluver. That most likely the cat. He was probably hungry after eating his 324th meal at 9am. ( typical for him)

  437. Peacesign☮(I love that Ford Day Jacket~Can u tell?) pam! says:

    376~ gahhhh..those greenishhazelleyeyes!! Lost in them………..

  438. Shelley says:

  439. Becca says:

    Russ, well I glad I beat you to the punch! haha

    Actually, I’m using my new laptop and I don’t have many pics in my hard drive like I had on my old computer. My daughter is going to buy me a Flash something (I don’t know what she called it) so she can transfer my files into my laptop! Thank God for smart daughters! She my Geek Squad!

  440. Joy says:

    #429/Becca: Neither can I-football in big screen HD wins out.

  441. archieluver says:

    420 JOY what difference does that make is it the text talk I didn’t think I was doing to much of it what is it exactly that’s confusing you

  442. Peacesign☮(I love that Ford Day Jacket~Can u tell?) pam! says:

    376~ you have an X?

  443. JeffR. says:

    Good evening everyone! Now Kristin, get your head out of those pillowcases! Breath deep!

  444. ♡ Lise ♡ says:

    Brook White is up next…….

  445. kimk says:

    Archie Where did you get it?

  446. Kristin says:

    424/Candy- :( They were loving David tonight with Angels. I love it when he stops playing and sings the end a capella with his arms outstretched. What a voice. . . what a voice!

    427/Russ-Of course. Can you imagine my husband’s reaction to me laying my head down on a David Archuleta pillow case? LOL I think he’d have me committed. (I’ll just nap on it when he’s not home!)

  447. GG_archudoors says:

    HAZEL EYES FTW!!!! :)

  448. archieluver says:

    439 yes he’s a wild one!

  449. Scott says:

    PSP: I think some others are enjoying it more than me! LOL! But I do love it!

  450. Peacesign☮(I love that Ford Day Jacket~Can u tell?) pam! says:

    hey JeffR! Bout time you showed up :lol:

  451. 418 Scott: That’s funny, so do I! :wink:

    428 Joy: And I just trying to get to first base!

  452. candy Yeah it is from when my parents are growing up. I have heard it and it’s hilarious.
    433.YES :wink:

    Rka yes green brings out the eyes!

  453. Kristin says:

    435/Scott-Looking forward to it!

    Hi JeffR-David sang Angels tonight and got great comments! ;)

  454. Anne-Marie says:

    Why did Simon have to “nit-pick” in the first place? David sounding nasal? Please!

  455. ♡ Lise ♡ says:

    David looked kind of scared & he looks so much younger than now…..but his performance was perfect!!

    He has grown in every way this past year & all for the better……!!

  456. Joy says:

    #444/archieluver: No, I actually know some text talk. I have teenagers. Just trying to make a joke, that’s all. I’m keeping up. So far.

  457. archieluver says:

    LOVE THOSE HAZEL EYES THEY CAN CERTAINLY TAKE YOU UNDER THEIR SPELL!!! I fell head over heels for David’s delicious eyes

  458. Peacesign☮(I love that Ford Day Jacket~Can u tell?) pam! says:

    I love Brooke!
    She said….I love your necklace! sigh……..

  459. JeffR. says:

    456 Hey Kristin, you mean these?

    ANGELS

    Ryan: David Archuleta is with us right now. It’s been an unconventional week in terms of preparation because of all the shows we have this week. (David: Yea, its’ been pretty crazy this week, but it’s been a blast). What have you prepared for this song for tonight? (I usually practice like early in the morning or late at night, but, hope I don’t wake up any of the neighbors or anything, cause I get pretty loud, but, you need to practice some time.) All right, good luck tonight…David Archuleta.

    This week I had a hard time picking an inspirational song because there were a few I was thinking about and wasn’t sure which one to sing so I went thru a few of them and when I came to Angels it just, something about that song was so different from the other ones and I just felt it so strongly with the music, the power of the song, the message in it where despite what you’re going thru, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel.

    Randy: David. Ahh yea, baby check this out dawg, check this out. You know what I loved about this performance other than this is an amazing song. When you did that little refrain at the end where you stopped and you did those runs….that’s the David Archuleta dude that I love…that was your hottest moment the whole season! DUDE! CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY HOT! LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT.

    Paula: You know what? That sums it up for me! Fantastic.

    Simon: Um, David, Um…best song choice of the night so far. I mean, why this song? It’s never been a hit here, it’s amazing, I mean this is one of the best pop songs in my opinion, written. I’m not going to say it was your best vocal however though. I thought it was a bit nasally, I thought the end part was better than the beginning…. David, I’m nit picking here, because you are going to sssailll thru to the next round. (Paula…you need to sleep!)

  460. Rika says:

    436/ Anne-Marie :lol: zorba dance cool 8) I can imagine David doing that dance like wigelow! :lol: Was it the dance at the My Big Fat Greek Wedding movie?

    Brooke singing…You’ve got a friend ♪

  461. GG_archudoors says:

    Hi PSP! I do! Was married to a professional musician for 11 long years, LOLOLOL… :) He is still playing on the local level, and we’ve managed to come out of it as friends, which is more than I could have asked…. :)

  462. Anne-Marie I know!! Simon should leave him alone. Angels was FLAWLESS!

    Just to warn everyone I can’t type tonite! Ignore typos.

  463. archieluver says:

    458 Lise he has grown a lot a year can do so much for boys that age we are just bystanders imagine how Jeff Lupe and family must feel seeing that all in only a year

  464. Kristin says:

    461/PSP-She was so unbelievably sweet and nice to my daughter. I can see why she and David are so close.

  465. Becca says:

    443/Joy- Hey that’s what I’m doing too! Watching football in HD! I’m rooting for the Cards only cuz they’re from the west! Plus, I think Warner is hot!

  466. Peacesign☮(I love that Ford Day Jacket~Can u tell?) pam! says:

    460/ Everyone kept asking me today at work…
    so u gonna watch Idol???
    well..only if there is a chance of seeing CP..that is the only reason I will be watching…
    And they think I will find another…well…Not a chance! This is the first..the last..the only! :lol:

  467. JeffR. says:

    Hey PSP!

  468. Anne-Marie says:

    Rika- David has the most striking eyes that I’ve ever seen!

  469. ♡ Lise ♡ says:

    462 Jeff

    Hey thanks……..word for word recap………… :-)

  470. Becca says:

    Pick off! yea Cards!

  471. archieluver says:

    464 Davidafan4ever what did Simon say to my Boyfriend??

  472. Scott says:

    428 Joy :lol! I’m on third with ya!
    449 Kristin: I love Angel! David just kills on that song! Well on every song, but you know what I mean!

    Hey Jeffr!

  473. Kristin says:

    462/JeffR-Perfect! Randy really loved David all the way to the finale. I think he actually looked disapointed when he didn’t win.

  474. GG_archudoors says:

    Hi Anne-Marie! There were nights I wanted to just thrash Simon for some of comments to David! Anything to wipe that smug little grin off his face… David’s success is the best revenge for his two faced treatment of the CP during Idol :)

  475. Peacesign☮(I love that Ford Day Jacket~Can u tell?) pam! says:

    466~ yes..all 3 times I met Brooke..she was a sweetie pie! NO wonder her and David are buddies! And she said..ohhhhhh ..I love that necklace u have on! And i said to her..thanks! I gave David one just like it..and she said..really??? that is cool!!! well, I really like it!

  476. archieluver he said my boyfriend was nasally during angels. You don’t have a boyfriend!

  477. Russ says:

    Becca, yes, a flash drive. I have one, a 2 GB. holds a ton of pictures. Good idea.

    449/Kristin, whatever you feel comfortable with. lol

    Hi JeffR, can we get a recap of tonights performance by David?

  478. ♡ Lise ♡ says:

    David & Jason had the best performances of all 8 tonight…..I think…….

  479. Attitude/Candy says:

    jeff- We can always count on you for the perfect words! :)

  480. Peacesign☮(I love that Ford Day Jacket~Can u tell?) pam! says:

    463~ that is cool GG..very cool. I always think I am the only one without an X

  481. Kristin says:

    468/PSP-I’ll watch, but I’m not as excited as I have been all the other seasons. I live for the day when David makes an appearance on the show.

    474/Scott-I love it when David sings while at the piano.

  482. archieluver says:

    467 Becca interesting but aren’t we all devoted to David here?? A girl in my grade thinks Eli Manning is hot she like has his jersey and stuff pulhease!!! David is sooooo much cuter (then again this particular girl thinks EVERYONE is hot)

  483. Becca says:

    JeffR, I love your summaries! Thanks for us that don’t get FRC

  484. Russ says:

    Jeffr, nevermind, you already did and I somehow missed it.

  485. psp Yeah Brooke was really nice!! I got to meet her twice and get a picture with me. She was really nice

  486. psp Yeah Brooke was really nice!! I got to meet her twice and get a picture with me. She was really nice.

    i read that on Google..I didn’t know that..In what year he took those classes?
    no wonder is a great actor..

  490. archieluver says:

    484 I am sure he will come back to perform I am sure I will find another person I like and vote for but not another David no way that will happen

  491. why did I double post??
    SORRY!

  492. Kristin says:

    480/Russ-A comfortable pillow with a David Archuleta pillow case? I think I’ll be very comfortable! lol

    Augh. . . Please Don’t Stop the Music! How many times did we all hear that during tour???

  493. Anne-Marie says:

  499. Involve With Archie how reliable was what you read. If it was good cool!! But the internet can say or do whatever it wants. :rolls eyes:

  500. JeffR. says:

    Hey Lise, Scott, Joanie

    463 GG, I’d still be married to you. Besides the fact how awesome you are, you have aunts ready to step in a prepare a feast at a moments notice!

  501. 462 JeffR: Very nice, Jeff! :smile:

  502. archieluver says:

    591 Lise why do they have tour stuff on?? I thought it was AI re-runs

  503. Peacesign☮(I love that Ford Day Jacket~Can u tell?) pam! says:

    493/Archielover…No way no how, there will never be another that melts our hearts this way, I totally agree with you…. I have watched em all….and never voted…
    But..soon as I saw “shop Around” I said..where is the telephone!! the rest is history…

  504. Pamela says:

    candy 389 – lol – your more to the point! and so true!

  505. Becca says:

    Archieluver..Don’t worry..Nothin wrong then checking out other guys! He’s not a music artist so they is no competition! lol Just to let you know, I have no picks of Warner. giggles

    David is my one and only :)

  506. Kristin says:

    497/Jana-Did someone kidnap your avatar?

  507. GG_archudoors says:

    Hi PSP! I think he’ll be the only ex I’ll have in that way! I still like the idea of marriage, but I like the freedom that comes with being single more – I’m taking my sweet time before taking the plunge again – if ever! LOL… ;)

  508. archieluver says:

    499 Shelly what are Archucook and Mavid up to any antics in this performance of please don’t stop the music

  509. Rika says:

    ♥whoa love the hip swing, brings back memories from the concert tour…did you all notice only David pose was facing back the girl, the other guys were all hugging the lady dancers…that’s our David! woot!

  510. PDSTM Memories. When I went to the concert they Michael and DC did pushup. Then the David and DC did the famous bend down and jump up and down. It was fun.

  511. Jana♥☮ oregon says:

    KRISTIN..Do I not have one??? An avi???

  512. Attitude/Candy says:

    502/davidafan4ever -psssttttt David did take classes at Barbizon

  513. Shelley says:

    OH DAVID and your people…. We are Desperate for a David concert!!lol!

  514. JeffR. says:

    490 Scott, I think you’re starting to stutter!

  515. 490 Scott: Yep…I must be slow or something….I haven’t even figured out how to get there yet! LOL

  516. Anne-Marie says:

    I keep remembering the last show in Tulsa when Cook threw the undies at David and he freaked out! Ha! Ha!

  517. Scott says:

    468 PSP: I will only watch if David is on ! I watched every season and AI7 was the last. Sorry just can’t bring myself to watch again. I hated what they did to David last year , even though he is better off not having won. I wish Dean’s daughter well but won’t be watching unless David is there !

  518. Peacesign☮(I love that Ford Day Jacket~Can u tell?) pam! says:

    510/ You are a very smart woman GG!
    11 years is a long time by the way!

  519. 517 Jeff: I don’t get it…..are you saying he is being redundant? :?:

  520. Attitude/Candy says:

    The posts are off number for me, I didnt post at 389 my computer shows it at 387, wha???

  521. Kristin says:

    514/Jana-I don’t see it tonight. :(

    517/JeffR-LOL

  522. 520 Scott: I agree.. my heart would not be in it…..without David!

  523. candy that’s weird!

  524. Kristin says:

    524/Candy-I have your post at 387 also. All the other comment seem to correspond correctly too.

  525. archieluver says:

    508 Becca cool but you don’t have to explain anything to me I don’t want to tell you what to do about your “love” life the less people who want to steal David from me the better but it’s cool that you are more devoted to David

  526. Attitude/Candy says:

    Kristin-I see Jana’s Avi…

  527. archangelpattie says:

    Hello everyone! Have been lurking on and off…finally have a little time to post.

    Looking forward to seeing Andrew and Vox’s posts. New perspectives, cool!

    Thanks Becky, for “sneaking” those pics into your post. Can’t get enough of them.

    Aww, Shontelle really loves David. But then, what’s not to love?

  528. 524 Candy: I have you at 387!

  529. GG_archudoors says:

    Hi JeffR! Thanks! LOLOL…. he would still be reaping the bennies of that good cooking if things had worked out.. I think he misses that more than anything else! :) Naw… he’s cool people, and I still wish him well… :)

  530. Joy says:

    #515/Candy: Did he really? I have never heard that before.

  531. Jana♥☮ oregon says:

    Kristin~hmmm I recently changed it to the B&W photo of David w/his hands holding his chin..ya know the one?

  532. ♡ Lise ♡ says:

    505 archieluver

    This is the performance that they took Please Don’t Stop the Music from for the tour………The Idol Gives Back is on right now & It started out with that performance with a lot of other dancers..

  533. Becca says:

    remember Archieluver.. I dedicated “Only You” by the Platters! have you heard of that song? It’s an oldie but goodie, like myself. This goodie is going to be another year oldie soon!

  534. Peacesign☮(I love that Ford Day Jacket~Can u tell?) pam! says:

    520/Scott ..I can’t agree with you more. So many bittersweet memories isn’t there?
    But…I am so greatful that David did try out for AI..our lives are so much richer now, and we have his tours now to look forward to!!
    I can’t even remember how things were before can u? Really I can’t. What on earth did we do with our spare time?
    It just feels soooooooo good to get into the car after a long day at work..crank up the cd and hear David’s soothing, pure, heartwarming voice!! I feel pure joy….all the way home :)

  535. Wait never mind. I have the same #’s as u Candy. :oops:

  536. Scott says:

    517 Jeffr: First the typos , now now stuttering ! I’m a mess !

  537. Kristin says:

    526/Joanie-My heart won’t be in it either, but my kids like to watch so I’ll watch with them. There will never be another contestant like David. . . NEVER!!

  538. Shelley says:

    Micheal Johns was pretty funny at Tulsa when he dressed Sexy and had his hair in ponytails dancing behind Brooke. That was hilarious!

  539. Rika says:

    ♥520/Yes, Ann-Marie saw that undie. I was like, what in the heck was that :lol:

  540. Becca says:

    Jana-I see your avatar

  541. GG_archudoors says:

    Hi Candy! I thought it was just me ;) The posts are always off number on my PC…. hmmmmmm….

  542. Attitude/Candy says:

    arhcieluver, try to remember that you are posting to mostly adults, just sayin’

  543. Kristin says:

    535/Jana-I saw it when I was on earlier. I’m going to clear my cache again and see what happens.

  544. Rika says:

    543/Shelley that was hilarious, at first i did not know it was MJ. Gosh, memories *sigh*

  545. archieluver says:

    522 Joanie yeah I didn’t get it either

  546. GG_archudoors says:

    You’re just fine Scott ;)

  547. archieluver says:

    546 Candy what did I say wrong?

  548. Jana♥☮ oregon says:

    Becca..thanks..I see it too:) Maybe it’s a West Coast Phenomena!! hahaha

  549. Attitude/Candy says:

    545/GG-HA, maybe we have been hijacked!!

  550. Becca says:

    Archieluver…ah, I’ve been married three times,,lol

  551. Kristin says:

    552/Jana-I cleared my cache and still no David for you. Hmmmm. . . I see all the others-this is strange.

  552. Attitude/Candy says:

    551-I didnt say you did, just tread lightly :)

  553. archieluver says:

    542 Shelly do you have a picture of that??
    Please please please that sound sooo hilarious!!!

  554. Wow – that Shontelle really likes David! Smart lady.

    Very funny post tonight Becky – you crack me up!

    Has David grown a bit – he looks taller than Jeff in that photo – and I am pretty sure that was not the case this summer. ??

  555. Joy says:

    Jana: I don’t see you either, sorry.

  556. Peacesign☮(I love that Ford Day Jacket~Can u tell?) pam! says:

    Football is boring…….

  557. Becca says:

    Jana-did you know that arturoflame came in after we left last night? That kid stays up late! You know he’s only 14 and he was probably lurking again! LOL

  558. archieluver says:

    557 candy then why are you randomly reminding me? If I am doing something you don’t like I want to correct it!

  559. Kristin says:

    Now is the perfect time for me to get some ice cream! BRB

  560. GG_archudoors says:

    Hi PSP! I stuck it out as long as I could…. he was on the road all the time, I was settled into my career… it worked until it didn’t work any more… I have no regrets though, but I’m taking my sweet time this go round ;)

  561. Hey, Candy, what are you seeing now, darlin? Hmmm?

  562. Kristin says:

    561/PSP-I agree. It’s good to know that I’m not alone!

  563. Attitude/Candy says:

    Becca-arturo is only 14, wow he acts way more mature then that!

  564. JeffR. says:

    I was watching Idol rewind this afternoon, season 4, recapping the last couple episodes with Fantasia. Now that I’ve seen her outside of AI7 finale appearance, I can sorta see how she got to be the winner. Although, on her final night Simon did say to her after her first song, “It’s a good thing you have 3 songs to sing tonight”. It did not go well, then she pulled it out.

  565. ArchieFanDoc Yes he has grown. That is typical around that age. He is nearly full grown now!

  566. Attitude/Candy says:

    566/Joanie- NOT MUCH!

  567. archieluver says:

    562 Becca he is lucky my parents would never ever allow that they are insane about me going to bed early especially when there is school the next day

  568. GG_archudoors says:

    I’m calling OHP – I’ve gotten thru 3x so far for Crush… I hope they are still answering the phones! They get lazy there sometimes…..

  569. Shelley says:

    #558 Archieluver: I don’t know if I do, I’m sure there is one on the internet somewhere.

  570. Attitude/Candy says:

    GG are ya saying we might hear GG wedding bells some day?? :)

  571. Kristin it is never not time for Ice Cream in my world.

  572. Scott says:

    538 PSP: I honestly don’t remember what I did before! I listen to David’s music all day at work and in the car on the way home. Keeps me from getting stressed out at work like I used too.!
    I agree I am glad David tried out for AI and grateful for the show for giving us David but he is my American Idol ,there is no reason for me to watch now.
    I know others deserve the chance too and I do wish them well .

  573. Attitude/Candy says:

    569/Jeff- I dont know what it was but I never connected with her, and when she came back this year I knew why!! Mercy! her rendition of Summertime was beautiful.

  574. archieluver says:

    574 Shelly I’ll go take a look in a little bit

  575. Attitude/Candy says:

    577/Scott-very nicely said.

  576. Becca says:

    568/Candy, yes he is.I really like him. he is so funny too He lives in central cali

    Archieluver. Yea, I couldn’t stay up late when I was in school. My parents were very strict. of course I didn’t have a computer cuz they weren’t invented yet (Laughs)

  577. JeffR. says:

    538 PSP, good question! Whatever did we do. From someone who never really watched Idol to tuning in by happenstance one night, all of a sudden Idol was the most important thing! It was like being swept away by a hurricane and all that goes along with it and no looking back!

  578. archieluver says:

    575 Candy I don’t know about that you would have to ask her that but if you want wedding bells I am to assure you that someday I am to marry David
