Samurai Cookoff May 27th

So next week David will be taking a break from frivolous things like touring and songwriting to serve as a Samurai Chef.  Wow, check out all of the doctors.  I hope they don’t talk David into changing his career path.

Believe it or not, we know someone who knows someone who bid on a David table and won it for $325.  We are going to badger her for updates, pictures, and video.  WOOT!

Click the graphic to go there! (Thanks for finding me the link, Becky.)

Archurandomness: Wish My Yearbook Would Have Looked Like This!

This installment of Archurandomness comes from Maddie!

Hellooooooooooooo FOD!!!
Today I have a really archurandom story.
Yesterday we got our year books so I was looking through it. In the back there was a section from what happend in 2008. In the back they show TV shows and they showed American Idol DAVID.vs.DAVID!!!!!!! They show a picture of him from the Today show. I screamed when I saw it. Now around the picture, there are hearts :)

It’s Got A Beat And I Can Dance To It

In his latest update to his E-Book, David Archuleta’s vocal coach Dean Kaelin mentioned that there is a bit of a disconnect (my word, not his) between the type of songs Jive wants David to release on his second album and the material David wants to produce:

David is already working on songs for his second album and I am anxious to hear what this album will sound like. When he recently had a week off after his solo tour, we got to write a bit and David got to experiment with some of the ideas he has in his head and some of the sounds and beats he thinks would be good. There is a bit of a discussion going on however about the direction of this album. I think David would like to do something more acoustic, with some of the beats and sounds that he has heard in some other artists and things that he really likes, but the label seems to want him to do a more “dance groove” kind of cd. David can see the good of both approaches since at a concert the fast stuff goes over very well, but he still likes other sounds as well.

Many of  you have emailed asking for examples of these two sounds, and wondering if they are compatible on the same album.

Acoustic = John Mayer, Sara Bareilles.  “Organic” music with unadorned instrumentation such as acoustic guitar and piano.  These don’t have to be ballads, by the way.

Rhythmic dance beat = Jesse McCartney, Chris Brown, Justin Timberlake.  Music you can dance to with synthetic instrumentation; a re-mix style sound.  Radio hits.

Can one album successfully encompass both styles?  I think yes, if the music is all pulled together as a cohesive whole with a strong vocal signature.

And if the lyrics to the dance-type music are not empty and lame and inane.  Yeah, the lyrics not being lame thing is important.  Who out there can co-write with David a good dance track with meaningful, humble, innocent lyrics?  Justin Timberlake could do it, but you’d have to keep a very close eye on him.  Very close.

So Where Are They Now?  Chikezie, Ramiele, and Michael Johns

David’s co-Idols became family to him during the show and the subsequent tour.  He keeps in touch with most of them and supports their music careers as best as he can.  So let’s find out whazzup with the Season 7 Top 10!

Chikezie is rumored to be signed (or in the process of signing with) Universal Music Group, although he does not yet appear in their roster.

According to Chikezie’s official website:

Following his elimination from American Idol on March 26, 2008, Chikezie has made guest appearances on Live with Regis and Kelly, The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show, following a 3-month American Idol Concert tour. This year, he completed a four week “American Stars in Concert” Winter tour, with Diana DeGarmo, Kimberly Locke and David Hernandez, making appearances on the “CBS Morning Show” as well as local talk shows. Chikezie’s musical influences are Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Marvin Gaye, John Legend, Sam and Dave, “anyone that makes good music really.” He continues to perform and write. When he is performing, “it’s always with the intention of lifting people’s spirits and entertaining them.” Currently, Chikezie is in the studio recording his first album due this year and touring throughout the Midwest and East coast with Melinda Doolittle, Gina Glocksen and Phil Stacy, from AI Season 6, until May 1, 2009.

From Wikipedia:

On December 9, 2008, he released a song “Another Christmas.” Proceeds from the song were advertised as going to the Red Cross and MDA’s ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) division. Johns penned the song in 2006, when circumstances kept him from returning to his native Australia for Christmas.

Together with Rye Randa and Jeff Foxworth, he performs on the soundtrack for Shaun White’s documentary DVD Don’t Look Down. The soundtrack, which was produced by Johns, Randa and Foxworth, was released separately by Three Rings Project on January 20, 2009. It consists of 17 songs, 10 of which are vocal. Johns sings on all but one of these songs.  He later secured a record deal with Downtown Records[18] with his debut single selling 5,000 copies.

His album, “Hold Back My Heart,”  is due for release on June 23.  He is signed with Downtown Records.  He has released two singles: “Life Is Okay” with Brooke White and “Heart on My Sleeve,” which will appear on his album and charted at #27 on the Adult Contemporary Billboard chart.

    a hit? I’d love to come up with something new.

    Hi GG! Any recipe ideas?

  15. Archiecrat says:

    Hi Candy!

  16. kimk says:

    Jenny Thanks for the new thread! and that is what that person promised was pics if she was allowed. I know we will hear things on it as she was VERY excited. Ha as well as she should be!! Darn I hope he tries to cook too with videos! The radio station just may video it or post pics too as they LOVE anything that helps their Murphy’s Kids charity! Woot!

  17. Archiecrat says:

    I wonder what David’s favorite cook-out menu includes. Pad Thai wouldn’t be a
    picnic food would it?

  18. kimk says:

    Jenny Oh goodness the sword and the fire and David I hope the folks at his table will be okay!

  19. kimk says:

    Hello Archiecrat! Ha Chicken Thai Barbecue FTW!

    Hey Candy!

  20. kimk says:

    bwahahah!

    The dude from Twilight auctioned off a kiss for charity. umm $25,000!
    Wonder?
    ha I remember one time a blog somewhere that David could do a Pay For View for his first kiss! Ha!

  21. GG_archudoors says:

    hi archiecratand kimk

    13/ have big fun at that rave candyyyy… that sounds like it’s gonna be a blast!

  22. JB says:

    Thanks for posting John Mayer’s WOTWTC!

  23. GG_archudoors says:

    14/ hi archiecrat :) my favorite bbq menu is pretty simple – grilled chicken or swordfish, or mahi when i can get it, grilled garden veggies, a nice garden salad, fresh fruit salads… my bf loves to do ribs and steaks, so we mix and match a lot depending on the occasion… but i love fresh grilled veggies like zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes… yum! :)

  24. Archiecrat says:

    Oh the lucky people who get to sample David’s cooking!!!!

  25. GG_archudoors says:

    20/ hi kimk – now that ppv thing is creepy, ewwwww…. hahahahhaha.

  26. Archiecrat says:

    kimk and GG- Sounds yummy! The grilled veggies are a great idea.

  27. kimk says:

    GG I think the blog was actually them pointing out that we find him very appealing and they were a fan for sure? It was last month I think? Ha I was all a flutter him just giving Miley a rose so sweetly in the HM thing. And how sweet he was in Crush? He so could be a movie star!! I hope he does more acting!

  28. kimk says:

    Jenny Oh I saw a tweet from I think it was Wanda who I met at Charlotte who gave him the necklace he wears in the Crush video and she said she was going to be at his table too?! Not sure but I know we will get details!

  29. GG_archudoors says:

    27/ hi kimk – lololololol…. i betcha there are some fans who are dead serious about wanting to be a part of or witness that…:) and then they’d freak out or be all jellis that it wasn’t them, hahahha…. :)

  30. Lynn says:

    And a little visit to his myspace every so often will do also, Hee!

    http://www.myspace.com/davidarchuleta

  31. Archiecrat says:

    kimk- I so agree with you. David has what it takes to be a movie star. How many
    movies did Elvis make? ha ha . David could do any kind of movie.

  32. Archiecrat says:

    David Archuleta: Samurai Singing Chef—good first movie???

  33. Lynn says:

    Well, I’m really wanting a barbecue weekend now that GG has laid out the menu. Mahi mahi. Yum. How do you cook it on grill GG?

    @do0dlebugdebz Ohhh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful, and since we’ve got somewhere to go, adios adios adios! 12 minutes ago

  40. JB says:

    Hi, Nancy!

  41. Archiecrat says:

    holy heck kimk- I can really see David doing movies like that. Less sappy and more
    updated but wouldn’t seeing David on horseback wearing a cowboy hat and chaps
    be a killer???

    Hi EL- Can’t imagine how much fun it would be to watch David cook a meal and then
    get to eat it!

  42. Nancy says:

    Hey there JB
    I hope AI isn’t mentioned today LOL

  43. Archiecrat says:

    I wonder if David is heading to the airport to go home. I hope he gets some good
    r @ r with the fam.

  44. JB says:

    #42 Nancy: I hope so, too. :)

  45. ☮peacesign♥~(David Archuleta fans are the proudest on the planet♥) PAM says:

    Good morning~ all my errands run..and I have a half hour to play before I head to work…
    Listening to “TOO BE WITH YOU” …..the man never ceases to amaze me…

    There is no question that he has “it” in spades. The spell was cast and it continues to grow….I am still mystified and facinated by him.

  46. ☮peacesign♥~(David Archuleta fans are the proudest on the planet♥) PAM says:

    Hi Archacrat..is there anything he cannot do? lol

  47. Jana ♦ Portland ♥ Seattle says:

    Hey everyone…Happy Memorial Day Weekend

    Sounds like David is working hard on concepts for the next CD. Fingers crossed that he gets to do what he has in mind. I for one would love to hear that!

    Hopefully he’ll have some great Utah~time conin’ up shortly, summer tour just around the corner :)

  48. Archiecrat says:

    Hi PSP! How are you? He is just amazing isn’t he?

  49. Jana ♦ Portland ♥ Seattle says:

    comin’ not conin’ grrrrrrr

  50. Jana ♦ Portland ♥ Seattle says:

    Hi PSP!!

    How is that job coming along??? Making lots of tour money?? hahha

  51. ☮peacesign♥~(David Archuleta fans are the proudest on the planet♥) PAM says:

    Hi jana! so far so good..hangin in there…have to leave soon, till 5..but the DA funds are keepin me goin!
    He is worth it! And I am soooooo excited for the tours with my BFF’s!!

  52. Nancy says:

    You guys are making me hungry for food and hungry to see David………….I miss him and the end of June is too long :)

  53. Allison says:

    Hey guys! I am one of the ones who tried to bid on David’s table for the cook-off and my last bid was 350, but the people I was bidding against kept going and I would have had to bid 500 per ticket to stay in the running. So I am pretty sure that 325 is the cheapest they went. Obviously, I had to back down at $500 per ticket. However, I bought tickets to sit at Jack Murphy’s table (the head dj) and I will certainly provide updates, probably on twitter. I e-mailed the dj to see if cameras/videocameras were allowed and he never got back to me. But, I am going to try to at least take pictures and possibly make a video. I am super excited about it as I’m sure it will be a very entertaining and enjoyable evening!

  54. Allison says:

    by the way, my twitter is crazy4archie, haha

  55. Jana ♦ Portland ♥ Seattle says:

    Wouldn’t it be very cool to sit at the table where David is cooking? He’ll be the “Singing Samurai” Can’t you just imagine him singing and chopping veggies and stirfrying..gahhhh

    http://www.kabutosteakhouse.com/

  56. gloria says:

    awwww gosh lol
    i love the pic of david as a chef!!
    and oh la la david a Dr :o
    he has to be doctor :o
    good morning :)

  57. Archiecrat says:

    Allison- You will have such a good time. I’m sure the DJ’s table will be good too. I
    wonder if David will be cooking for everyone or just his table. He’ll probably sing
    something while he cooks!!! I wish I could be there!

  58. JB says:

    #54: Thanks, Allison! That would be great.

  59. Jana ♦ Portland ♥ Seattle says:

    PSP~You arso righT He is worth it. It will definitely be a summer to remember! Sometimes I wish I lived in a slightly more travel friendly place..

  60. ☮peacesign♥~(David Archuleta fans are the proudest on the planet♥) PAM says:

    have a great day all! see you tonight…

  61. andrea c (pittsburgh) IS IT SUMMER YET !! I NEED A CONCERT FIX says:

    Let’s gets some hits on Crush on Youtube…..

    It will hit 17 million views today and I never tire of this song :)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yff9nCctMkg

    and thanks Allison…… I am now following you on twitter…

  62. maryanne says:

    David had a great variety of songs on his last CD, why can’t he put both sounds on the second one? Please have both!!!! please please …….I am sure he is coming up with some great stuff!!! talk to you guys later…..have a great day!!

  63. Goodmorning everyone!!!!

    It’s one day closer to the summer tour!! :smile:

  64. JB says:

    #64 Shelley: And one day closer to the Z100 performance (and, hopefully, ZG news).

  65. Nancy says:

    Allison!!!!!!!!!!!!yay for you……you will be able to witness the greatness even though you aren’t at his table. I imagine the djs table will be close to Davids…I assume but only guessing :)

  66. catherine says:

    Thanks Jenny, Becky and Fran for all of the FOD information. I have two weeks of stuff to catch up on. Not sure where to start.

    Hi FOD folks! Hope all are you have been well.

  67. Allison says:

    Archiecrat – I believe he will only be cooking for his table. But, from the pictures from last year, the restaraunt looks pretty open so I am hoping that we will have a good “view” for the evening. Haha! The dj assured us that we would be able to do meet and greet type stuff with him for the night, take pictures and talk… that sort of thing. So it will definitely be worth it!

  68. Allison says:

    Nancy – haha that is definitely what I am hoping for. He is the head dj, so I’m hoping that we have a good view from our table! haha!

  69. Nancy says:

    And I thought we paid a lot for the VIPs LOL but this is for charity…which is always a good thing. Can’t wait to hear all about it.

  70. catherine says:

    My avi is gone! I’ll have to work on that later. Maybe they fade away after a certain amount of time. I’ve been away on vacation.

    Allison, have a great time at the cookoff. Maybe you can get a picture of David making an onion volcano. Don’t know if they’ll teach him that one or not.

    I’m going to be spending the weekend catching up on Archuleta reading when I have to time to be on the computer. Just wanted to say hi! Later GG, Kimk, Russ, Candy, Archiecrat, Allison, Nancy, jb, Shelly, Andrea, Peacesign Pam, Maryanne, Gloria and Jana. Have a great weekend.

    Can’t wait to watch the Manila concert videos!

  71. springgirl says:

    Did the Crush video reach the mark we wanted yet? Didn’t we have a plan to download the song or video at a certain mark?

  72. springgirl says:

    I think we should really try to promote David at Disney for the time being. Wouldn’t it be great if he got to sing on the soundtrack for one of their major movies? Remember, don’t be overzealous or obnoxious but a lot of big names in music got their start at Disney.

  73. naree says:

    atm (partial) and angels

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr47h0zLutc

    he is so adorable on the last note of atm..

    shaky but good audio

  74. Archiecrat if you are still here I have a recipe for you. Just let me say first that no these are not HOT.

    take maybe 15 jalepeno peppers and slice them in half long ways. ( wear plastic gloves) scrape out all the seeds ( those are what makes it hot ) Plave each half on a tray.

    Get a pkg of Jimmy dean maple sausage ( you could add garlic and basil and even shredded cheese or don’t add anything) knead it so it is easy to work with

    Fill each jalepeno half with sausage.

    Wrap each Jalepeno half with 1/2 slice of bacon.

    Grill on Barbeque until the fat on the bacon is cooked and the jalepeno is tender.

    People are always afraid to eat it because they think its hot and then once they taste it they come back for more!!

  75. Archiecrat says:

    RobinF- wow that sounds good. Thanks so much. It sounds like something my
    hubby would love!!!

  76. avidafan4ever( I am a VIP in Hartford on opening night in Hartford in 47 days this is 2 good 2 be true!!!!) says:

    post and run here

    from his twitter.
    @do0dlebugdebz Ohhh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful, and since we’ve got somewhere to go, adios adios adios!

    LOL LOL LOL LOL

  77. suttygal/joanieMN says:

    Good morning everyone!

    JENNY/ Thanks for the great post! It has a lot of nice news bits of “all things David” :) Hopefully while the kids are home this weekend we’ll work on a ZG video! I love the idea…..let’s see if I can pull it together here. Anyone have and extra mic?? :grin:

    I’m trying out this new avi….summer color…I may have to switch it back tho~ pastel like seeing David with the red benihana hat!

  80. Archiecrat let me know how it turns out. Be sure to get those disposable plastic gloves so you don’t accidently touch your eyes and burn them.

  81. kimk says:

    Allison Hi and I know one lady who got one for $325 but woot wow that they went for $500 too! I was listening to the other table too and heard $500 a seat for the table next to David too! Oh that would be awesome if you could give us an update and I hope they allow pics and videos too! The price was too hi for me so I had to pass but I am so glad you get to go. I am so excited!

  82. Sutty Hi. Glad you like it. Try them out. They are real good. A friend made them once and the tray of 30 will be gone in minutes!! I stole her recipe!!

    By the sound of that tweet and the one to Shontelle it does seem like he is going home. I hope so. I am sure his mom and siblings miss thier father and brother.

  83. jeani/ut says:

    I wonder why he has a Christmas song in his head? hmmmmm.

  84. kimk says:

    Robinf Oh hi and we are having a cook out tomorrow! Monday starts some kind of goings on here where I live so there will be a ton of folks around. But the weather is beautiful here in NC and David will be here in NC on Wednesday! Argh can’t go but heck he is close by!!

  85. kimk says:

    Naree I LOVE the pic that is posted on SA and thanks for taking such wonderful pics. Just really he is beyond beautiful!! Inside and out!

  86. kimk says:

    Robinf Oh goodness could he be??? Oh goodness we are so lucky!!

  87. Becky’s tweets crack me up!!!

    Time to go see if I can do anything productive today.

  88. kimk says:

    Robinf Oh heck it almost killed me in Charlotte when I saw him for the AI tour. Really he is breathtaking! And a great singer too! :wink:

    Hey All! Just popping by in between planting flowers to see what’s up in Archuletaland. Allison, you are a lucky fangirl! Have a great time and send us pix and vids, lol! I will follow you on twitter, too. David is one FINE looking chef!

    Hope he’s on his way home for Memorial Day Weekend r&r with the family.

    Only about 1,000 more views and Crush will reach 17 MILLION! I am so happy about that!
    Another 20,000 followers on Twitter and David will surpass Jordin. I think that will happen. He already has more Myspace friends than Cook. The CP is a popular guy!

    Back later!

  99. suttygal/joanieMN says:

    HI Andrea! ..got the tweet and ran to my computer to say “YEA UTAH” wish we all could’ve been there to greet him; maybe Joanie was? :)
    ~have to wait until he’s on a computer to tweet back I guess~ LOL

    Does Cook have a Twitter account?

  114. pamtimmie4david (and up's the only way that I know how to fall) says:

    Arrrrgh! I’m not getting any sound on that CRUSH youtube video! I hope it counts that I clicked on it a few times (even though I don’t watch it all the way through) so we can get that count over 17,000,000!!! GO CRUSH!!!

  115. sandrita says:

    Hi everyone!!!!! How are you?

  116. vicki_p says:

    springgirl, David tweeted that he is home. Do you follow him on Twitter? It’s fun. David is a funny tweeter.

    andrea, that is great news! Thanks for keeping track, lol!

    I was wondering also if Cook has a Twitter account. I heard not. But of course, that could change.

  117. springgirl says:

    you guys are the best. JB–why do you think Cook’s Cd is only 7.99? Anyway, I am going to break down and go clean out some cabinets will check in periodically. And, I do mean you guys are the best.

  118. pam05 (CLARKSTON MI) says:

    Hi guys, is everyone having a great weekend, it’s gorgeous here. So glad to hear David is back at home now, hope he made it to his meeting, after getting stuck in traffic. lol It sounds like his album is going to be challenge to find that perfect mix and still please both parties involved, well I guess that’s how the music industry works.

  119. pam05 (CLARKSTON MI) says:

    I am streaming Crush, maybe by midnight we can get it up to 17M, seems plausable don’t you think?

  120. Yippy David is home!!! I bet Lupe is sooooo happy!!!!! Would love to be a fly on the wall for that reunion!!

  121. pamtimmie4david (and up's the only way that I know how to fall) says:

    Hi sandrita – got to babysit Miles all day yesterday! How are you doing? Is it cold in Peru today? What town are you in? There is a girl at work who is from Peru and is going there this summer!

  122. andrea c (pittsburgh) IS IT SUMMER YET !! I NEED A CONCERT FIX says:

    pam05, Crush will be at 17 million or over that amount with the next update which should be around 3pm or so !!!

  124. kimk says:

    Streaming Crush!

    Hi guys!
    Woot!! He is home!

  125. JB says:

    #125 springgirl: I don’t know. To boost sales during the AI finale? Or because they desperately need to sell more copies to achieve their financial goals and cover the cost of the massive promotion? Or because they have already achieved their financial goals and everything after this is extra income?

  126. pamtimmie4david (and up's the only way that I know how to fall) says:

    HI kimk! He tweets! He’s home!!! I might have to be out and about today/this weekend! :wink:

  127. kimk says:

    Hi Pam If you run into him say hi for me! Have a great weekend!! Hug a baby too!

  128. sandrita says:

    Hi pammtimmie!!!! Give to Baby Miles a big hug !!so cute!!1
    The weather here is weird. It’s almost winter and some days are hot, some days are cold. Sometimes is hot in the day and cold in the night… This year is rare
    A girl from Perú .. great
    I’m from Lima

  129. kimk says:

    Hi Sandrita! Lima Peru! Fantastic!

  130. springgirl says:

    Sandrita, I always think of Paddington Bear when I think of Peru. Also, my neighbors moved from Peru about three years ago. They are Edurado and Mary Stephanie. Great little kids!

    HE LOVES HIS SISTERS!!! hahaha

  132. Linda says:

    I’m really torn about the album content controversy. I remember,after I heard album one all the way through, my first thought was “there isn’t one song on the album that makes me want to get up and dance.” That’s not to say I don’t like the album, because I do, but “Zero Gravity”, for example, would have had me turning up the volume at a redlight and beating on my steering wheel as I sang along…carseat dancing! I think a mixture, at least, of both types of music would work. Only good dance tunes or heart-wrenching soulful ballads get radio play and radio play leads to more fans, who request the tunes at clubs, and on and on and on. Hate it when I heard that David (or his dad?) is already in a controversy with his label after such a short time. Of course, we aren’t in the meetings, but being that Jive is such a huge label, are they out to just make $$$ off of David at any cost, or do they actually have HIS interest at heart? I think a compromise is in order.

  133. Nicole says:

    The acoustic cd and a danceable cd? I SAY LET HIM PUT OUT BOTH! I would love to have to different cds from David with different music. LOL!

  134. omygoshashley says:

  135. JB says:

    #140 Linda: Haven’t heard of any controversy. Radio play is totally unpredictable.

  136. springgirl says:

    Let’s not begin saying there is some sort of controversy between David and his record label. That can only lead to trouble. Dean only made a comment. Jove knows what is best for David. Please leave this alone, if the record company hears it could mean headaches for David.

  137. davidafan4ever( I'm a VIP opening night in Hartford in 30 days this is 2 good 2 be true!!!!) says:

    Glad that David is at home with his family! The whole album controversy why not both? He needs 2 do zero gravity though!! That is necessary no matter wgat!

    I can’t wait to make my Z Grav video for the fan contest I have been trying to teach my cousin who is almost 2 how to jump to Z Grav some maybe the two of us can do it together (although she can’t really talk enough to sing it) but that’s okay I can sing I bet David will get a real kick out of her

    133 JB yeah jive must be broke from all the hard work they did promoting David it is too bad the album didn’t do well (sarcasm)

  140. davidafan4ever( I'm a VIP opening night in Hartford in 30 days this is 2 good 2 be true!!!!) says:

    springgirl I agree! It isn’t a controversy so much as that they want a different type of music on the album. I am sure that it will be handled in a way that pleases both parties…

  141. davidafan4ever( I'm a VIP opening night in Hartford in 30 days this is 2 good 2 be true!!!!) says:

    archieluver we will achieve that 17 mil. The 20 mil. is ambitious but WE (archies, arch angels, most fanatic fans!) can do it!

  144. davidafan4ever( I'm a VIP opening night in Hartford in 30 days this is 2 good 2 be true!!!!) says:

    It is so sweet that he tweets about loving his sisters! CUTENESS 2 the max!!

  145. springgirl says:

    Davidfan4ever. We can’t take these casual remarks and make a big deal out of them. It is not healthy for David. We should comment about how great Jive is. They just don’t promote like some labels. I don’t like it, but the truth is when David Cook won AI he won a contract that included promotion. Please fellow fans be positive and there is not a controversy. David needs to stay with Jive.

  146. davidafan4ever( I'm a VIP opening night in Hartford in 30 days this is 2 good 2 be true!!!!) says:

    Hi GG!

  147. davidafan4ever( I'm a VIP opening night in Hartford in 30 days this is 2 good 2 be true!!!!) says:

    140 Linda they should consider his interests although I understand that they want to make money off of him and when you are running a business if someone working for you isn’t doing something that you think will make money you have to change things but I really think that anything David sings will be successful I feel a nice mix would be good in case people didn’t notice the types of songs that David brought up (for example I’m Yours) are not exactly dancing rock edged music and they have done extremely well I think that the record should make decisions where David will do well but what he wants and what he enjoys comes first you always hate the stories where artists are saying that they always loved to make their kind of music but they aren’t as happy only going with the sound the company thinks will sell! I think a compromise is the best way to go because both David and the jive reps should get something on the album that they think will help David’s career I really wish jive could back David and support whatever sound he wants and their wasn’t so much controversy and I think personally that David’s songs are edgy enough for the radio whose fault is it that the dance songs (like Z Grav.) have not been released for sales and radio airplay! yeah I am not going to mention names but yeah that is NOT David!

  149. davidafan4ever( I'm a VIP opening night in Hartford in 30 days this is 2 good 2 be true!!!!) says:

    Love his tweeter convo’s with Shontelle. LOL

    144 springgirl for sure! we don’t want to do anything that could cause any problems for David I am sure it is nothing that he can’t handle when you work for a very big name company like that there are a lot of reps with a lot of opinions and there will be controversy lets not make a big deal let them compromise (like I know they will) and it will all be fine all that matters is David is happy if he just recorded stuff and never sold another album as long as he was happy I would be happy and ultimately we need to trust that jive will figure out how to help him sell a lot of albums while still making albums in a way he enjoys

  152. davidafan4ever( I'm a VIP opening night in Hartford in 29 days this is 2 good 2 be true!!!!) says:

    New tweet from David
    ~Hahahaha man I love my sisters!!
    wonder what they are doing that is so funny! I am glad David got to go back and hang out with the family in Utah and hopefully they can get another pic like the one on top of this post

    You must have tons of fun stories to tell everyone about all of your world
    travels!

    kimk I am sure they all hugged a lot! It seems like forever since he was home…

  161. GG_archudoors says:

    re the upcoming album….

    i’m inclined to let david, and the people charged with making these decisions on his mgmt team and the label decide what type of album it’s going to be…. i trust his musical instincts, but he also is still too new an artist to really begin dictating a great deal of terms such as this to the label…. it just doesn’t work that way….. that type of artistic license and flexibility comes after a track record of commercial success has been established in the mainstream, and even then the label usually still has the last word…. i think david is older and wiser than last year, as is jive and his management team, so hopefully there will be a compromise met that meets david’s musical desires, and jive’s…. we fans have little to no say in the matter, and i’m not going to put or exert any pressure on david or jive to meet my expectations… i just want david to be satisfied with the end result, and for the end result to be satisfactory to the fans, and amenable to top 40 radio…. as a pop star and artist, it has to have songs released that will fit into that format, so i’m hoping the lead single is strong, is promoted heavily, and makes the type of impact needed to open the door a little wider this go round for more of david’s material to be played…

  162. archieluver[VIP PASSES TO DAIVD CONCERT AT THE HARTFORD XL CENTER! I AM GOING TO GET AN ARCHUHUG PRIVATE ACUSTIC SET PHOTO OP MEET AND GREET PARTY GIFT BAG AND MUCH MORE IT IS GOING TO BE THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE (ON OPENING NIGHT BABY) I LOVE YOU DAVID] says:

    does anyone know when the next time the view count on utube goes up I want to see the updated #’s

    On the CD thing oh would it be fabulous if there were both! Besides myself with happiness on that one!!

    Pretty much every album ever published is a compromise between what the artist wants and what the label wants. No controversy there.

    GG by the lead single you mean Zero Gravty right? That is essentially confirmed.

  170. davidafan4ever( I'm a VIP opening night in Hartford in 29 days this is 2 good 2 be true!!!!) says:

    JB I agree. In this case I hope it is a little of both on the album. Some tracks of each. The bottom line is if it is his voice it is gonna do well!

  171. andrea c (pittsburgh) IS IT SUMMER YET !! I NEED A CONCERT FIX says:

    archieluver……. the updated YT #’s should be very very soon…. and it will be over the 17 million mark by then…… look for it to update around 4pm or so…… usually it updates every 1 to 1 and half hours…..altho , that should have been around 3pm………. it will be soon tho

  172. davidafan4ever( I'm a VIP opening night in Hartford in 29 days this is 2 good 2 be true!!!!) says:

    Hi andrea!

  173. springgirl says:

    exactly GGarchudoors. Besides, it is highly unlikey there will be a new album this year. We need to rally and support the current CD. If ITUNES dropped the price, like Cooks, maybe we could do a massive download weekend.

  174. GG_archudoors says:

    174/ hi daf4ever….. zero gravity most likely isn’t the lead single off the second album… it looks doubtful, if they plan to release it to itunes soon… i’m thinking a single that will be released for radio adds at least a month or two before the new cd drops – like crush… crush debuted in august, the cd debuted in november…..

  175. Archiecrat says:

    Andrea- reaching 17 mil. views will be a nice homecoming present for David to see!
    It’s so exciting!

  178. davidafan4ever( I'm a VIP opening night in Hartford in 29 days this is 2 good 2 be true!!!!) says:

    GG. It is good that they are realeasing it! It didn’t realize that it wasn’t the lead single… It will be good either way! I am sure that between David and everyone involved in the album it will all work out great!

    springgirl we will keep rallying… I thought we were getting 1 though…

  179. andrea c (pittsburgh) IS IT SUMMER YET !! I NEED A CONCERT FIX says:

    hey Archiecrat……that is exactly what was thinking……. Welcome home David…… you hit the 17 million mark…….. (and that is just on his official Crush vid)

  180. GG_archudoors says:

    173/ so true jb…. i’m sure david has much more confidence to go to bat for the songs he believes in, but ultimately it is jive that will decide what makes the cut… no controversies need apply in this situation, cause that’s how it goes down… and i hope they have taken into consideration his growth as an artist in this past ear, and will be more receptive to his vision of how he wants the album to sound, but they are the decision makers, and i hope they make the right ones, for sure…..

    182 GG you don’t think August to November was a good length break I think they could have put another single in there it took a really long time it seemed with nothing new I know it is often uncommon for an artist making a debut album to have 2 singles but I feel like they should have last time maybe this time they will!
    I really hope you are wrong about them not releasing Z grav.

    181 Springgirl yes massive download weekend WOOT WOOT if we do that we can get it platinum! does anyone know the sales #’s for Crush isn’t it getting close to double!

  203. Hi everyone

    Taking a break right now, been very busy. throwing a birthday party for my son today, who turns 17 tomorrow! Where has the time gone?? I feel a little sad. I still remember holding him in my arms. :(

    Now he this 6′3 handsome boy, with this deep voice who still loves to cuddle with me. How long will that last?
    I could just imagine Lupe thinking the same thing about David. They grow up so fast!

    well got to go, have to get lots of hamburger patties made. Got four more teenage boys coming plus the ones from the family!! Hope you all have a blessed saturday!!

    love all of you :)

    here r the results. Some of the ways they calculate are confusing but he seems 2 be doing well all the way around!

  207. Nancy says:

    Last I heard Cook did not have a twitter account. I think he said it wasn’t his style or something to that effect. I doubt his account would say David cook won season 7 of American Idol……..I think this is someone else pretending to be him. Trying to make people think he has a twitter account. He won’t even do vlogs from what i heard. Don’t really know because I don’t follow him lol.
    About David’s next album….Jive is going to make sure this album has songs that fit into the type songs they play on the radio these days whether we like them or not. And I don’t blame them. He needs to sell his album and his singles and radio play is a huge part of bringing in the sales……..and that is the main reason. I think his album is doing extremely well without any singles on the radio IMO. I am sure there will be songs on there we will love (acoustic) but I agree with Jive he needs to have lots of songs on there that are dance numbers and radio friendly especially this stage in this career. He is trying to get established and he has to do what they want for the most part. I love ZG so I am sure I will love a lot of the dance numbers….If they don’t release Zg to the radio and itunes I think that will be a big mistake…guess we will see. people I have let hear it that don’t even know David love this song and they said they would buy it and would love to hear it on the radio.

    212 Becca feeding 4 teenage boys! good luck to you! have fun at your sons party! my parents always say the same thing about me that I grew up way to fast! cute that your son still loves his mom … who do I know that that reminds me of… I’m sure it will come to me :wink:
    211 blue on my way!

  209. Astrid22 says:

    Hello everyone! Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend so far. Interesting conversation about how David’s next album will turn out. I’m sure David will have a bit more say this time. It can’t be easy for Jive though. They represent an artist who can flat out sing any genre and appeals to people ages 8 through 80!! What we think is a dream could be a nightmare for Jive! By the way, do we have any idea when the new CD might be released? I can’t wait to get my hands on some new David music!

    Also, if Andrea is still around (Hi!) I saw your ode to ALTNOY yesterday. Lol I feel like such a stalker! I have loved that song from the start too! Maybe we could do a push to get ALTNOY’s views up on Youtube also. It boggles my mind that people are not getting to hear this song!

    I’m in the Z100 listening area and they are heavily promoting David’s appearance next week. They even use his voice for a promo.. you know.. the “Hey, this is David Archuleta” thing.. And I’m thinking can you please play his song every now and then? Elvis Duran clearly is a fan and mentions him all the time. Must be some radio politics that I just don’t understand cause I don’t think ALTNOY got a fair shot.

    It just amazes me that David continues to generate so much buzz with little air play. It’s all good. His talent is undeniable. Besides, David’s lucky number is 2! haha This second CD is bound to do great! Sorry for the long post. I got carried away!

  210. davidafan4ever( I'm a VIP opening night in Hartford in 29 days this is 2 good 2 be true!!!!) says:

    Becca I’d suggest making like 100. They can eat. HAHAHA David eats a lot. :smile:

  211. Astrid22 says:

    Nancy, I think you are right about Cook not having a twitter account. I remember reading while the Davids were in Manilla that he said just can’t see himself tweeting about eating a burger. And that it would kinda take the joy of it away for him or something to that effect.

  212. GG_archudoors says:

    211/ what a cool poll blue – thanks for that!… take a moment please team to take the poll… read the instructions very carefully to fill it out, and read them again before submitting.. david is leading so far, and we want to keep it that way – yessssssssssssssssss :)

  218. andrea c (pittsburgh) IS IT SUMMER YET !! I NEED A CONCERT FIX says:

    hey Astrid !!! I am here…. listening to Crush on YT….I alternate with ALTNOY too.

    I was on a roll last night…….. giving my 2 cents worth…… I usually stay out of these types of conversations…….. but I let it all out last night….lol……and I agree 100%….. I don’t have any idea how it all works, but I know z-100 loves David……… so Jive must have a plan we are not privy to……..

    I just feel David will be fine……. a slow steady climb to the top……. and I just sit back and enjoy everything about him…….. I can’t wait for summer tour…… David is only 18, he has plenty of time…… let him enjoy the ride……..

    how the heck r u??

  222. Angelgal3 says:

    Hi all! So glad to see that David is back home in Utah after such a long time touring,etc. GG,I agree 1000% with everything you have said re: David’s second album. He really is still very new and he absolutely needs to have songs on his album that will get him back on radio airplay. That’s how he’ll gain new fans and earn money in the long run. I remember an interview on Jimmy Kimmel with Randy Jackson at the beginning of this current AI season where he said “it doesn’t matter how great someone’s voice is,they need to have songs that sound great and will be played on the radio.” I think he’s right too. We all love David and want him to be successful. I guess we just have to keep trusting in Jive and his management and it will all work out fine.

    227 andrea yes the whole Z100 thing confuses me it is like they are huge fans but they won’t play his music! like what’s up with that??

    Angelgal whatever they will work out! I agree! And everyone will wind up happy with it!

  227. Astrid22 says:

    Aww, thanks gg! You’re too sweet!

    Hey davidafan, I’m still wondering why David isn’t following Jason Castro yet. I guess he’s been kinda busy, huh?

    And Nancy, I just realized I stole your “something to that effect” line! It sounded so good, I guess I couldn’t get it out of my head! haha

    I use way too many haha’s now when I write. Thanks a lot, David :)

    234 kimk who knows when it is coming out! hopefully soon! I get the idea that they have done a lot of recording already and all they really have to do it decide what they are going to put on the album (which who knows when they will agree on that) I don’t know how likely it is but I would like to see if not a whole album at least a strong leading single b4 the summer tour starts!

Waiting for the Summer tour like everyone else and trying to decide if this unemployed person should purchase VIP upgrade tickets to the Newark show. peace has been encouraging me to go for it… but since it’s my husband I have to live with… well, you get the picture :)

    and yep on the VIP…….. me and peace got for MI, but that is all so far…… you may have just as good of a chance to meet David by standing out in the elements like we did last year for the AI tour………. only this time…….I will carry plenty of water and make sure I have eaten something before doing that…….

  243. Astrid22 says:

    angelgal3, I guess we are bearing witness to this not needing a great voice for your songs to get played on the radio, but I’m not hearing that many great songs either! Is it just me?

    252 andrea I here ya girl I have made the same mistakes! I didn’t from 10 am to 11:30 pm at David’s solo tour and I was in the hot mosh pit for hours standing and jumping and all! It was fun while I was there but man was I regretting it when the show ended the lights went up and I realized I still had a long walk to the car and a 2 hour ride home!

    256/ that’s a trip elizabeth – a good trip, hahahhaha… how are you?

  254. Angelgal3 says:

    Astrid,you’re right. There’s not alot of truly great songs on the radio. I think it’s just that there are alot of pop artists that are more established than David is right now. There’s alot of artists that may not have great voices ie. Britney Spears, but the songs they sing are top 40 radio friendly with good beats and catchy hooks to them. They can also bring those people into the studio and use synthesizers,etc. that mask flaws in their voices. David doesn’t need synthesizers because his voice can stand on its own. He just needs a new song that will catch on and that program directors want to play on the radio.

  255. GG_archudoors says:

    don’t forget about disney ya’ll!! :)

I didn’t even have any water to offer him…… I will def. know better next time……

  258. Lilly says:

    David has good instincts in choosing songs that will appeal to all age groups. The label cannot peg him for one type of music versus another. Songs such as Zero Gravity are good dance tunes loved by young and mature audiences. A balance between ballads, soulful songs and lively dance tunes may be a good mix for all.
    David can easily show his artistic talents in more than one Genre. Welcome home David!!! You deserve a rest and some family time. We are so proud of you and will continue to support you no matter what music is chosen. Look forward down the road to your next hit. Could it be Zero Gravity. Need a catchy name for a new dance to go with the song. The ZG????

    Have any of you tried to download the Dean’s David Archuleta Journal update? I just can’t get it to update. Anyone else have a problem??

  277. Astrid22 says:

    Oh well. It’s kinda raining here now. Lol

    280/JB I forgot to mention that you had to be caller 100. So, that’s pretty close, right? I will keep trying.

    davidafan, you are not crazy!! I think I have at least 28 entries! haha Have you entered on P.C. Richard’s website too? I have more entries on that one. I keep getting the bonus questions wrong on Z100! I thought both of those raffles were closing right before midnight on the 26th??

  283. Astrid22 says:

    davidafan, I think there is a link to P.C. Richard on the ZIP Rewards page.

  284. Astrid22 says:

    OK. Here is the deal, davidafan. I just checked it out again!! When you go to the page to purchase your Z100 raffle, there is a little blurb at the bottom. The P.C. Richard link is in that paragraph! Good luck!

    Hi Everyone, Happy Memorial Day Weekend! So glad that David is back home and able to spend time with his family!

    #284 davidafan4ever – We think we remember reading they will notify the winners on the 26th.
    #285 CM(Yakima) – We were able to download and didn’t have a problem. Did you click on the correct link (first was for Windows & the other for Mac)?

  286. davidafan4ever( I'm a VIP opening night in Hartford in 29 days this is 2 good 2 be true!!!!) says:

  288. jeani/ut says:

    CM I got the update to Dean’s journal just fine. I went to his site clicked on the book and then went to the bottom of the page to the link for the update page then on the Windows . Did you change your email address since the time you originally bought the journal?

  289. Astrid22 says:

    No problem, davidafan. I must go finish up dinner, myself!

  290. jeani/ut says:

    CM That last thing was Windows ebook update. I was distracted by a phone call.

  291. JB says:

    #286 Astrid: Oh, I see. I thought you had to be the first. They have hundreds of callers every two hours?

    #256 Elizabeth and Astrid…I noticed our high school year book had the same kind of insert, and the David vs David pictures in it…made me squeal, and I’m the adult, not the student, lol! Must be standard for the yearbooks this year – political and pop culture events that occurred during the past year, a great keepsake for years to come.

    Congratulations to David on his beautiful Crush video reaching the 17 million mark!!! So dang proud!!

    I’m so glad he’s getting some down time at home with family and friends. He so deserves it.

    Now what shall we do tonite? No concert, no cellcast? Wonder if the ice cream shop is open yet for the summer…

  293. vicki_p says:

    Oh! I read the additions to Dean’s e-book last nite. Very interesting stuff. He has such a great relationship with David.

  294. CM(Yakima) says:

    My email is the same. I’ve been trying to update from my email notice. I will try to do it like you did. Everytime I click on update, Mcaffee Virus Scanner comes up and doesn’t seem to like it. I will try it from Dean’s site

  295. Stephanie & Danielle (Can't wait for summer tour!!!) says:

    #300 – Hi JB – Saw somewhere that David’s CD U.S. sales are now over 700,000, have you seen any numbers lately on international sales (just wondering with his recent oversees trips and his UK CD coming out)?

  296. Stephanie & Danielle (Can't wait for summer tour!!!) says:

    #301 Vicki – Ditto!! Congratulations to David on 17.000,000 views of his Crush video!!!! WOW!!!!
