Digital Release of Christmas Album in Europe; Spoilers Abound
Posted by Jenny in Daily Front Page******
European Release of Christmas from the Heart
Amazon, Germany style:
Oh, sigh. Amazon, why must you tease us so? And I thought the MP3 album would be released today in the United States, as per Amazon’s posting.
But at least some of our international fans are enjoying it! Spoilers abound on Twitter…much sighing and weeping and cries of “amazing!” I’m really trying not to read any of those tweets, and I won’t post them here. I just want to experience it for myself.

Spoilers, Fa La La La
Do you want to be spoiled? Really?
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas:
Melodies of Christmas:
If you want to be “spoiled,” check out “Melodies of Christmas” at Fanscene. Or…wait until you buy it on October 13th! I know it’s tempting…can you resist? Yes, you can.

Anyway, morning everyone
good morning team….
some pointers to help us effectively trend david’s cd release on twitter on the 13th… info gleaned from observation, and searching various boards around the web for the most effective methods..
please save and bookmark this info, so we all will be familiar with it, and ready to go on 10/13 for david on twitter…
================================================================================
TRENDING pointers…..
❊ 1. Your twitter account can’t be private.
❊ 2. You can post anything you want, just add #ArchuletaXmasCD in all the updates.
❊ 3. You have to add at least one more word in your update, just the tag #ArchuletaXmasCD doesn’t count, twitter will reject it as spam.
❊ 4. Add one tag #ArchuletaXmasCD per update, twitter treats multiple tags in one post as spam and will reject it.
❊ 5. The tag can be located at the beginning, at the middle or at the end, it doesn’t matter.
❊ 6. Every new update must be different of the previous one, you have to change at least one letter, you can repeat the update later.
❊ 7. Posts from brand new accounts don’t count either, so if you want to create a new account to not spam your friends, create it now, it will be OK till October 13.
❊ 8. Sometimes when you post too much, twitter doesn’t let you post for 20-30 minutes, so you may want to have a #2 and #3 account to keep posting.
Good morning!! I confess I coud not resist to listen to the duet. Just Beautiful,both voices sound great but david’s is just so soothing and amazing and great !!!!
63/ lololol – hi stef

#68 – Thinking about going to Italy for the weekend…
Hellow GG, reine, kimk, burkey!!
Good morning! I am so excited to read all the buzz about the Christmas album! But although I have listened to the snippets, I’m going to hold out for the CD and listen to it all at once. The anticipation is delicious. Kind of like waiting for Christmas morning to open your presents even when you know where “Santa” has hidden them and you could go take a peek, haha.
Also, I heard that there might be a concert near Chicago…has there been any more info?
GG…you’re a stronger woman than me!! I couldn’t resist!!
71/ i know – grrrrrrrrr
72/ hi reine! xmas is here – yes ma’am
i’m loving the buzz, the excitement, and all the anticipation and build up to the 13th…. this feels like his debut release all over again, and it’s wonderful, wonderful… shows david still has the ability to create excitement and anticipation for his music… the anticipation for the pop cd is gonna be really off the chain – wooo hooo !!!!
well…..have to go on my morning errands……..
♬ ♬ have yourself a merry little christmas ♬ ♬
dudes….me thinks David should marry Charice! She is an amazing singer! They sound so good together. LOL! Finally, they put him with someone who can sing! EEEEKKK!
82/ hurry back to the par-tay burkey – it’s gonna be a day and night long thang, hahaha
13 days of Days of Christmas…. fa la la…..la la
On the first day of Christmas
David gave to us
a heart in the form of digital….
On the second day of Christmas
David gave to us….
nothing more…
because we couldn’t handle the first one…
Have a great day, everyone! Ho Ho Ho!!
could you imagine them two singing together FOOOREEEEVVVEEEEERRRRRR?
Yes kimk, me neither! Duhh, Stef can do it! Yay! Only 4 days! lol
Kimk- Hahahaha That’s good!!!
83/ good morning nic! – it is great to finally have him matched with a singer of his caliber! they both have beautiful vocal instruments, and from what i’m hearing, they are showcased wonderfully on the duet – squeeeeeeee!
Nic oh goodness me thinks there is a long line for that honor….
I can’t wait to hear it!
EL loving it really. have a great day!
Kimk-I tried not to listen but temptation was greater lol. However this was just the apetizer and I will wait for the main course.
86/ right backatcha crusherlvr – have a great day!
Crusher ha who wouldn’t love to go to Italy for the weekend! Especially…..
80/ hi patti!
i wish!
just trying to hold out to sit in a quiet place, away from work, the pc, and listen to everything, start to finish… i’m tingling with anticipation of hearing the songs one after the other
hearing all the good reports makes the wait kinda like the one for ”contigo en la distancia”… i’m stoked from all the buzz, and it’s tough holding out, hahahaha…
This day will be filled with Epicness!!! If they leak Ave Maria or Oh Holy Night today, I will be done for. lol
OMG I am stunned by HYAMLC…the vocal duet is breathtaking!! The voices so compliment each other in quailty, tone, the blending is beautiful, one not overshadowing the other. Yikes! I better get my life in order, not sure I will survive the other songs! Good Morning Everyone
79/ good morning el!
Reine ha I think if folks want to listen they should. I just want to wait for a great digital copy and all at once for my first time. I was even up last night to see if it was released after midnight.
lol I might not make it but thats ok too. Knowing me if it was just bleh I would probably go for it? Does that make sense.
Just seems like we all are very lucky! eeeeek I can’t even imagine the concerts!!!! eeeeeek!!!!!!
97/ good morning candyyyyyyyyy!
Im thinking today is going to be a “Leakful” kinda day. if they have them, wont be long and we will. ♫Oh Epic Cd, Oh Epic Cd, how lovely are they Christmas songs!♫

Props to those who are waiting for the album and not spoiling! I don’t know how you can do it, because I can’t!! lol Not that I’ve really tried!!
DEC 9 last year was the Jingle Jam in MN – hope that’s not what folks are seeing and thinking it is for this Dec…..c’mon we neeeeeed to plan our lives!!!!
Hi Fg-Im among the weak, so I took the plunge. All I can say is resisting is futile! Dont want to waste a single minute I could be listening!
Good morning everyone!
♫Happy Christmas Melodies,
Bring back faded memories… ♫
Christmas Melodies…I like what it is about. A song that is about how songs remind us what Christmas is about…pretty cool!
110/ it’s all good funnygirl – i’m loving the reactions, and it just ramps up the excitement and anticipation more and more
delayed gratification is tough – oh boy is it tough, hahahahah, but i’m sharing in all the excitement
117/ good morning david from texas
114-Hi Joy4Arcdhie-Im with you, a mere mortal weakling! I didnt even bother trying to resist temptation, took the plunge first step!
Hi Nic and all new posters/lurkers!!!!
Candy – my time alone is very limited so I gotta go for it while I can. I’m not listening/crying/spazzing with people around rolling their eyes…..
Hi Candy-is that duet amazing or what?? I hope we get at least on date for california. Nothing so far. I guess I’ll listen to the cd and pretend I am in one of David’s christmas concerts.
oh FG- dec 9th was the MN JB from last year..hmmmmm
Good morning GG!
so sad that we have to wait a little longer, but it will be so worth it!
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkk, squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Not a matter of will power for me I think? I have such a wonderful feeling inside about the whole thing I really can wait if that makes sense? But I am odd! I am so freakin happy they killed it!!! eeeeeek!!!!

Happy Magazine Hunting kimk

Mundane calling BBL OH what a day!!
125/ anticipation….. anticipation is making me wait…… it’s keepin’ me way -a- a- a- ting…… lololololol… now i gotta go hunt this carly simon song to fortify me
gg – whatever works for you! I’m working tonight, then going out of town for 2 days with the family, then hubby and I are home on Monday then a field trip with my son on Tuesday so I am determined to hear as much as a I can now. I reallllllly wanna hear Ave Maria but if I have to wait til Tuesday I will have to wait. It’ll be something to look forward to!
ROTF-GG-Full Monty, yep works for me.
BBL
Didn’t hesitate for even a fraction of a second. Just jumped right in and listened to both MOC & HYAMLC.
I reserve my will power for really important stuff like not biting into that luscious, mouth-watering piece of chocolate cake.
BTW: Loved both songs..of course.
I really like the lyrics of MOC. They’re simple but filled with all the feelings of Christmas. Loved the line mentioning Elvis, Celine, Josh…etc. Sounds like my home during the holidays.
You guys need to consider your ability to take in the whole CD in one sitting…will it be too much? Will you be interrupted?
JoyF- I can’t resist chocolate cake either!! lol
Like my son just told me “it’s NOT Christmas, will you please turn that off?….” Geeez
#132 DFT: Do you know if we can we purchase and download from that site?
135/ ave maria is the one i’m waiting for too
the way chenson described the album progression – orchestral and lush in the first half, more stripped and lean arrangements in the final half is what convinced me to wait… to hear the album as a whole, one song building upon the next till the finish… i’m really, really, really, really stoked to the rafters in anticipation to hear what he so eloquently described, so i’m biting the bullet, my lips, and all kindsa things to wait, hahahhaha… pray for me to hold out
I swear a girl can’t get 5 minutes alone with her new David music……
I agree, GG, but tell meeee whyyyyyyyy, lol
haha, True, JoyF. I love both songs also!!!
Hi DFT…here’s the translation for Amazon Germany fan review……I am speechless, still can not utter a word, I just downloaded the album and listened to three times away … and also let it run just in the background … simply: WOW!
David’s vocals on this album is striking. That voice, so gentle and yet with so much power, so ripe, so profound, so much emotion, but never shooting over the top also … Simply heavenly! Madness! Christmas is coming! Who does not melt away when listening to this album socks with enthusiasm, which can not be helped. I would certainly prefer to go out immediately, get a Christmas tree, invite my family, wrapping presents, baking cookies, while the whole day, listen to this album together. All the best drinks in freezing temperatures and heavy snow outside while you sit in the soothingly warm food and hot chocolate, bake, laugh, be happy …
The song selection is for a young artist like David – and it comes from the pop genre – amazing, courageous, but just right for David. The album is its title, “Christmas From The Heart” more than fair. You can feel that each song comes from the heart. The orchestra and the arrangements are amazing!
Bravo, David! Your first masterpiece!
140/ lolololololol….
Joy – you cannot order it from Germany – I tried LOL it says “you cannot complete your order due to geographical restrictions….”
145/ be still my heart
oooooooo, excitement is building
GG- Man, that is going to be so hard, but you can do it! In a way, I wanted to wait, but I kinda knew in the back of my mind that I would cave in! Gosh, I have no power against The Voice!!!
#140 FG: I got that from my sons yesterday. I promised them that they wouldn’t have to listen to anymore Christmas music until Thanksgiving. Until then, it will be just David, me and my headphones.
JoyF. I don’t think so. Someone tried in chat last night. I think you have to have an email address from that country and understand the language. hmmmm. Worth a try!
GG…woohoo!!!! please, please come to NC David!!!
I’ll be back in a bit!
Good Morning!!! Any TOUR DATES!? Im trying to “not” listen to the christmas songs but it is soooooo tempting!!
143/ that’s what i’m shooting for too, hahahhaa… i want zero distractions when i listen… no phones to answer, no pc’s to monitor, no sound – other than david’s voice filling my house, my ears, my senses… the ”do not disturb” signs will be up until i’ve finished, hee hee
154/ whassup mary
eeeeeeeeek, PattiNC! Thanks! I was going to bring that but didn’t know if anyone could translate it! Thanks! Yayayayay! Sounds awesome!
Melodies of Christmas has one part that just sends shivers up and down me!! glad I recovered from my surgery enough to enjoy this! lol
DFT…u can thank google translator! haha
152/ yes please!
FG/ I went to Jingle Ball last year in St. paul…IT’s where I live. i believe it was actually on Dec. 15,2008.
Ah you guys make me can’t chat here, you keep talking bout the album ;p
149/ i ain’t that tough where david’s concerned!
no sirreee…
I”m guessing that the St. Paul site IS for this year and I could probably peg it at one of a couple places if it’s truly St. Paul and not Minneapolis. SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Katy & David….. Awesome.
It sounds like they turned down Charice’s vocal a lot. i like it, but I still wish there was some crazy high note by the both of them, lol,

Whew..had to let that Squeeeeeeee out or I was gonna burst.
And imagine the live performances by the both of them!!
Hi Kathy!
136/ hurry back candyyyyyyyyy
172/ that’s right – no bursting lady – squeeeeeeeeee to your heart’s content
Hello DFT, Kathy, Joanie, Patti, MJG, FG
170/ thank goodness for you tube
haha, Stef! Youtube for the win!
Awesome JoyF. I still don’t know what to do on concerts
Well if I can’t make it to a concert…I will certainly be listening to every underwater cellcast!
Kathy, Yeah David + Charice => on OPRAH!!! Thats gonna b AWESOME!!
pattinc or david from texas – do either of you have the link to that fan review from germany?
#179 DFT: Being from the NW has one advantage. I knew David wasn’t going to come any further north or west then Idaho, so SLC was an easy choice to make. The hard part is next…getting good seats for both concerts. I’ll have to talk to Joanie about strategy.
Patti, so trueee!! Underwater cellcast works for me! Haha

Good morning! TGIF!
I am going to wait for the entire album before I listen. It will be hard to do. Willpower don’t fail me now! lol
Don’t forget to pick up the issue of People Magazine that has the photoshoot of David and Rick Springfield. I got my copy last night as they were putting them on the shelf. Great pics of David!

Just tweeted it, Kerri! Team Archuleta is Retweeting it!
Aagh, I’m at work so I can’t check out any links. I’m also remaining a spoiler virgin, which is obviously hard right now. About PEOPLE magazine, I hope ppl won’t be too disappointed that the interview is only one short page. I spy a 3rd picture, though! It’s small, and on Page 14 where the theme of the issue (35th birthday) is summarized. It shows Rick & David fighting off fans in the doorway…And as I posted last night, I emailed them about the wrong sales figure. Supposedly a Research crew will investigate it and get back to me. We’ll see.
awesome Valerie!
Good morning Valerie, Kerri, FG, Joy4Archie, and Marylee!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6iZX6UYYbI&feature=related

FG #279 lol now what got into those girls….

lanfeng….thank you, I just cannot resist! OMG O Holy Night took my breath away!
lanfeng – I wouldn’t know how to save them anyway LOL! No true archie angel would not legally purchase the CD/mps3! If I get to hear Ave Maria today it will make my life!!!!
Think I will get some ironing done while listening to this OMG….I will burn myself I just know it.
gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
listening to OHN!!
Joy, I pre-ordered 6 copies …. some as presents so I don’t feel a bit guilty…the arrangements etc. are just amazing on these songs. Noone but David could sing these like this. And that voice
chills and tears! oh my!!
OHMYYYYYYYYHECKKKKKKKKKK !!!!! khjkodfghuijbiudfgijdjgbgjkc
I think I had better go now before I cave in and listen. My willpower is weak when it comes to David. I don’t want to listen until I get my CD.
Have fun everybody.
Will check back later.
Oh my heck! I am a complete mess after hearing Oh Holy Night. I’m seriously blubbering like a baby. The RUNS! The loooong held note. Somebody help me!
OHHHHHMYYYYY

♥♥♥
Have some errands to run, but they can wait. I just have to listen to the rest of this album.
JoyF….I KNOW…crazy good!!
Omg I am crying after hearing O Holy Night!! No song has ever affected me like this. I am literally shaking and can’t stop crying. That was the most moving experience I have ever had in my life. If you guys listen to it, I recommend headphones and close your eyes and feel the music! :’(
Hey all! Good morning… sorry I slept in…
#316 pattiNC: I love the way David adds his own signature to each of these songs. They sound new and fresh the way he sings them. Gaaaah…the orchestra!!!!
eeeeek, the HYAMLC is on repeat! How am i ever going to get up from the computer? I have to go out of town in an hour! Anyway, good luck to the radio stations trying to decide which of David’s songs to play this holiday season. They might as well just give in and play them all…
SNIPPETS DO NOTHING FOR THESE SONGS!
#318 Richard: Are we in heaven? Oh my…love the arrangements, the orchestra, the VOICE!
oh yah, and if Oprah doesn’t have Charice and David on to sing this song, she is missing a bet, and a surefire ratings juggernaut.
Richard…standing O for everyone who worked on this album…David sounds incredible!!! arrangements amazing!
#317 joy4archie: Have you heard Silent Night yet? OMG! I love every single song!
What other songs got spoiled???
breathe in …breathe out
Richard, there are no words…
Joy F……Where are these songs???
Richard – STANDING OVATION to you and all who worked on the album!
Richard…beyond amazing.Incredible arrangements and impeccable vocals.Team David…the gift that keeps on giving.THANK YOU!!!!
#321 pattiNC: Amen to that! Not even close to the awesomeness!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
#329 Shelley: Here ya go..

SN now…wish me luck
The album must be out? I’m telling ya, when there is someone as good as David, the rest of it comes real easy.
Oooh.. Pat-A-Pan! LOVE it!
Richard: It was released in Europe. We, in the lowly US, must wait until Tuesday.
Thanks guys!!! I found them!!!! EEEEEEKKKKKKK!!! I have goosebumps!!!!!!!!!!

Richard- You did an amazing job on this album! There are no words to describe how epic this album is! It is breathtakingly beautiful!!
SHelly..quite possibly!!
I can’t get over how awesome Pat-A-Pan is! Never heard the song before. ♫ Christmas Daaaaaaaaay ♫
Wow what a difference an orchestra makes!! the drums in O Come all ye faithful are awesomage!

LANFENG- thank you,thank you sooooooooooo much!!!!i’m in heaven at this minute…thank you again!!!!i pre-ordered my amazon cd’s so no worries abt me…i’m still downloading the album on the 13th….oh my God, i feel like i’m floating in the clouds,hahhaa…seriously!!!!!i loved all the songs!!!! but how come there’s no ave maria yet????is it still uploading???

#359 Shelley: This is the concert I’ve been wanting to go to since first hearing David on AI. I thank God that he has given me the opportunity to do so.
SING IT DAVID!! bring it to church!!

#362 MHEL: No need to apologize sweetie! We’re right there with you. I’m on my 2nd helping of Oh Holy Night. Oooooh..that VOICE! Goosebumps and tears from the sheer beauty of the song.
Hi Mehel!!!!!! I know exactly what you mean!!!! lol David’s voice is the most AMAZING thing I have ever heard!!!!
Hmm…as much as I love to hear the album in advance, I don’t know about that link to the entire album being posted here. People can rip them to mp3s, and not buy the album.
#368 CrazyGood: I think you’d have to be VERY computer savvy to do that plus have the right software. I know I couldn’t do it.
368 Crazy good: I would hope the people on this site would never do that!! I’m pretty sure most of us have already preordered several copies!!!
Hi everybody
Oh my goodness – this is amazing!!!!!!!! The intrumental arrangements with David’s voice – WOW! Brilliant! – the arrangement and instrumentation truly captures David’s voice as the most beautiful instrument that it is and showcases it perfectly……..
There is soooo much interest in the way he sings if that makes sense ………it is a complete EXPERIENCE…… don’t know how else to explain it. I was excited about David singing Christmas songs with his beautiful voice …..but it is soooo much more than that………so many surprises and twists and turns………..David is brilliant……as are all those musicians that had a hand in this project……..
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
Ooops..I said that wrong. I wouldn’t even ATTEMPT to do it. I haven’t even tried. I’m content to just listen for now. Tuesday will be here in no time at all now that I can listen to them.
After hearing this album I hope I can act right when I see him at the VIP on October 29!!! lol
omg,omg,omg!richard,are you here?STANDING OVATION TO YOU AND TO KURT AND OF COURSE TO DAVID!OMG!this is priceless!!!!!my family needs to hear this on the 13th,geez!!!!!!!tears of joy all the way…seriously,i’m not kidding!where are the haters?????they need to listen to this,uggghhhhhh!!!!it will melt their hearts……so glorious!!!!
hi everyone, can’t stop listening!!!!
Patti- Lol She is healthy now, but might not be after hearing this masterpiece. I just heard Silent Night. Omg!!!!!
Just LOVE Pat-A-Pan!! I’ll probably be saying that all day long!
Each song just takes you on it’s own journey…. down a path, I know that sounds so corny but it just does. I have lots of Christmas cds and some are sing-a-long and some are all about the orchestration but this is something entirely different it truly is……..
376 JoyF – me too! –
Richard you were sooooooo right about the clips not doing justice – not even the tip of the iceberg
OK..it’s official. Melodies Of Christmas is a hit for sure. Kristyl said she loves it!
SJ…so true!! Love Pat a Pan…sooo cool!
I just figured out what I am going to do! I am giving out some of my Christmas presents way early so they can enjoy from now until Christmas!!!
SJ: I agree. I have a lot of Christmas CDs, but this one is unique! The arrangements, the voice… all are fresh and new!
Funnygirl…You alright?? please check in!!! LOL before Ave Maria is up
Joy To The World is so different than any other version I’ve heard. Excellent!
Ya’ll haven’t even heard the one I’m most excited for you to hear. Thanks for all the comments, but really, I didn’t do much. Just doin’ what I love to do. Tryin’ to make those around me better. D just makes it easy.
I need the last 4 songs – I have to leave and am afraid they will be taken down before I get back….. I am just listening through once – that way when I get my cd on Tuesday I won’t have every little surprise and nuance down – it will still be like new.
386 – Hi Richard – which one is that?
Pat A Pan is so awesome!!! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it more than I thought I would!
I can’t wait to hear WCIT and Ava Maria!!!!
I am only finding up to Pat-a-Pan – where are the others? ‘
I bet you want us to hear Ave Maria Richard…that’s what I’m waiting for..was going to the beach, but now I’m listening to Christmas songs!
pat a pan should be in the radio.
I am dying here reading all of your comments!!! I don’t know if I can hold out listening until 10/13..but I will TRY!
Angels We Have Heard On High… Just WOW!
Have the downloads stopped?
Oh Richard – you’re still here – you’re being way to modest – kinda like someone else. haha David is amazing but I’m sure without you all it couldn’t have been this spectacular – It took a lot of people to make the cd what it is – thank you for sharing your talent with all of us as well – I know, I know it’s a tough job working with David but someone’s gotta do it, right?
I am here at work listening w/my earphones…I am really trying to keep the tears at bay..’Angels We Have Heard on High” so beautiful! And OHN….and Pat a PAN!!! Good Grief you guys!
hey all I caved and listened to the Christmas melodies and all i have to say is ….AWESOMEAGE, ALL KINDS OF AWESOMEAGE!!!!
Shelley -WCIT? I am having a hard time with the acronyms today! haha
What Child Is This is up!
WHAT CHILD IS THIS IS UPPPPPP!!!!!! OH MY HECCKKKKK!!!!!
What Child is this is up now – listening
JoyF..hope not..gotta hear AM!!
EEEEEEKKKKKKKK!!!!!!
to Candy and others, I must apologize for stearing you wrong on the concert dates in SLC! So sorry. My realiable source that I thought was pretty reliable was wrong!!!
So from now on, I won’t post anything unless I am absolutley postivie!
Can’t wait for the concert! hope you all can come!
Richard: Do you know if the Utah Symphony will be accompanying David in SLC?
#406 dashingdavid: WHAT? Please elaborate so I can change my airline tickets if I have to.
OMG WCIS!!!! I AM DEAD, DEAD DEAD!!! YOOZA!!!! I cant breathe!!!
DAVID AND CHRISTMAS SONGS=
WCIT – tears!
406/DashingDavid, its ok honest, Im glad you felt comfortable enough to want to share in the first place. Thanks for trying!
Me either Candy!!!! LOL I am shaking so bad right now!!! lol
408/JoyF- nothing has changed this was from an earlier possible date. The new Nov dates still stand
WCIT= fkgrnkgryfl;lf;ngnfnmslwekeritjrkw,s.mfngfhrjrjell,cncfnf
WCIT….absolutely beautiful…stunned
WCIS…absolutely beautiful…I’m stunned
Oh my god What child is this is… no words .The voice, the music , it really touch my hearth.!!!
*WCIT
#414 Candy: Oh..thank God! I was in panic mode for a few minutes there. Visions of Demi concert cancellations.
Thanks!
WCIT is not on mine..where is it??
Jana refresh it
Josh Groban who???
which one do you want us to hear Richard?
Ave Maria?
It is amazing beyond words
JoyF..WCIt is not on the link you sent??
Candy…for real!! LOL
Never mind!!
Never heard anything so stunningly beautiful. OMG the Orchestra, the choir, the guitar, THE VOICE!!! Bury me please!!
I am in such Heaven right now!!!! Gahhhhhh
Okay, raise your hand if you did not shed tears…
I need to be able to buy 20 albums – right away after release – is that going to be possible – do you think?
Pat-A-Pan!! Oh gesssh, words are escaping me today…
WCIT: Stunned!
R – this is me NOT raising my hand!!!
Hi 427 Richard, raise my hand. Help! I can’t listen. I’m at work!!
So the link to the album is obviously out there. Please don’t post it here.
Richard…I am really trying to maintain my cool here at work! I have my sunglasses on!!!
R – which ones were you responsible for?
Oh…the orchestra in WCIT. Raises your spirit into the heavens! Beautiful!
My hands are down!! Richard he sounds absolutely amazing..I don’t l know what other adjective to use!
OMG Pat-A-PAN NOTHING LIKE I EXPECTED!! GORGEOUS!
RIU RIU CHIU IS UPPPPPP
429 – Candy – I love Pat-a-Pan too!
#433 Gail: It’s ok. You can’t download from the link..only listen.
If you take the file to IE you can list to song of your choice. paste and copy url
Richard-*sitting on hands* I am beyond stunned!
jana,you have to refresh…omg, riu riu is up now!
wcit- so beautiful!!!!!
Candy thanks.
I may a be a bit biased when it comes to David…but I think this album is going to be very well received by the world. It’s beyond amazing.
WCIT has always been my most favorite christmas song since i was a child. That’s why was so happy David would sing it.
It ha me crying from the first note. No hands raised here
I am a total flailing spazz! Each song is blowing me away!
Oh my…there he goes again with holding those long notes in Riu Riu Chiu. Goosebumps!
THIS is the music the man needs to sing, be gone pop!! His voice is destined to sing great music like this!
I wonder why Amazon or other stores don’t use the best part of the songs for samples. Some people decide that they’re going to buy CDs or not from listening to the samples, my opinion. May be someone should tell them, hehe.
OH MY HECK!!!!! ITS AVA MARIAAAAAA!!!!!
lanfeng -you wont hear any complaints from us! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
Diving into the refreshing waters of Pat-A-Pan for the 4th time.

With tears in my eyes and my heart pounding, how do I even begin to find the words to describe what David has accomplished.
With every single track David grabs you and pulls you right into the emotional journey he is taking. What a rare and special gift he has!
BRAVO to all involved in this CD…… IT”S TRULY A MASTERPIECE!
THE VOICE, THE VOICE, THE VOICE…WE KNEW IT WAS THERE!!

Ave Maria
OMG!!! Chills!!! Breathtaking ♥ pure in tone, Messa di voce Amazing!!! Crying….So emotional…Hugs your soul…
Oh one more thing… if this album doesn’t sell bazillion copies, JIVE has miserably fail
I have been posting links – sorry if I shouldn’t have been!!!!! Oh,dear!
I want this album NOW! I want to listen in my car, in the living room, on my Ipod….everywhere!
pamtimmie4david,
I THINK SO……my post with the link for marylee is waiting for moderation hehehe….
The boys choir is amazing as well love it!!! The symphony is outstanding, I am so gobsmacked by this!!!
And…why wasn’t David singing Ave Maria when I used the song to walk down the aisle during my wedding? Maybe because I might not have gotten married…haha, just kidding. I love my husband. Actually my cousin sang Ave Maria during my wedding and she was great. David’s verison is gorgeous and beautiful. What a voice! It is strong and with such wonderful control. I’m getting my copy Tuesday, and purchasing some for family too.
#503 Candy: YES! I broke into a HUGE smile at reading your post! We knew that the VOICE was there… have been waiting for it to be unleashed. And HERE IT IS!
Richard, you’re a genius…
502/Lorna-I so agree- the quality of this cd is beyond anything I had envisioned, it goes beyond the normal scope of “background” the time, effort, love that was put into this will make it a Christmas Tradition for generations to come!
Candy-I Love your excitement. I agree 100% that Wcis and Avemaria are master class. Both songs showcase David’s voice t the fullest. I am not normally an emotional person but both songs really touch my hearth.
I know it’s “just” streaming… but streams are easily rip-able. Just don’t post it here. PM each other.
Ok, so where are you guys hearing the songs at? Are they the whole song? I have only found two full songs so far.
Why would the links be deleted? We can’t download these songs.
omg!!!i loved ave maria soooooooooo much…full of emotions,…….i feel like christmas and holy week at the same time…i mean the passions and emotions he put in that song is amazing,amazing,amazing!!!i’d better stop now…..
thank you guys for sharing!!
Im thinking to stay within the legal confines of posting the links here, they will probably come and go.
Omg Ave Maria!! :O That was so beautiful! His voice!! Omg!! I am in tears again!
~I’ll try to type but my tears are getting in the way! I just don’t have any words to describe how Ave Maria made me feel! I’ve heard that song performed by so many different people…I’ve always found it to be moving and touching…but there’s just something about David’s voice that takes me to an emotional level that I’ve never experienced before in my lifetime…speechless…overwhelmed…I’m going to listen again. David, what have you done to us! Thank you!!
Gail: Hmmmmm
Won’t post again until Jenny or Becky give the ok
Pamtimmiex4 could you email the link for the album since they will not post the site here, pretty please, I am at work, thanks
please where’s ave maria link
Ha on my phone here and just want to say
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!
Tom, I will email you the links. Hope they work
Anybody know what Riu Riu Chiu means?
#513 Candy, any expectations we had were truly blown out of the water. I was expecting it to be amazing, but this just leaves you breathless.
Tom-Sent!
#531 Lorna: Listening to snippets, I was impressed because it was David. Now I’m amazed because it’s David but also because of the arrangements.
kimk ~ ♥ ~ did you get your People Magazine?
Candy- 499~ “..we all caved.” Haha, yeah, I can see that.
Gosh, Who else has chills all over their body after Ave Maria? I didn’t know David could sing like “that”. And I’m sure you know what I mean by “that”. The Ending!! *dies*
I am still holding out until I get the CD in my hands on 10/13! No listening for me until then. lol
Thanks Pam, teary!
539/Joy4Archie-I know exactly what you mean by “that.” We knew the man could sing and has a great gift but did we foresee this…Get him to Carnegie Hall stat!
I will listen to this album all the time when I get it!!!! I am overwhelmed right now!!! I can’t wait until the 13th!!!!
Just so you know, those links CAN be ripped. There will be no stopping it from going global. Think about that please
Candy ~ Can you imagine David singing in Carnegie Hall? Be still my heart!!!
hi everyone!! – keep flailing, keep flailing, hahahha – i love it
can’t wait to hear it on tuesday….
Candy- Yes!! He truly has a gift. And he is our gift!!!
Once it;s out there anywhere the ones who know how to do this will spread it like wildfire. I know none of you wants to hurt David this way, so please, please, don’t post it here any more.
539/ that’s it abms – we gotta stay strong, hahahhaha
If those links are posted here in comments, I hope the mods remove them.
Hi everyone……….I’m not going to listen to any more songs from the CD & I am worried that some people may download these illegally & not let David get the $$ he deserves for all his hard work.
I, myself, am buying many mp3s and several actual CDs.

545 – karenkid – didn’t know! Thanks for the enlightenment!
I am so sorry I reposted links! Thanks, FOD for pulling the links. I am so technically challenged that I didn’t know the ramifications of posting the links! Sorry David, sorry Richard, sorry FOD! Mea maxima culpa!
I had no idea that it could be ripped from just a listening link….I won’t post the link.
This is just incredible. I am so happy and proud!

Please do not post that link again. It could hurt David’s sales. People can download from it. I know that wasn’t the intent but let’s just wait a few more days.
Well, hello!
7-11 HAS THE PEOPLE MAGAZINE!!!
Thanks Candy,
Too bad I can go to this “personal” site at work, I’ll have to check when I get home. BTW – I will be emailing everyone on the Stroudsburg list tonight with update information.
Also, for anyone who has emailed me about going to that show and I have not responded, I apologize but I have all of the tickets I am getting accounted for already so if something changes I will let FOD know and we will go from there. Thanks
554/ hahahha – i’m loving the excitement!! it justs amps up the anticipation for tuesday
It’s only a few days till the official release. We are able to wait that long, right??? I rarely care this much about anything – but I really care about David getting the $$’s for his effort.
I want tlisten to the songs too!
556 FG
I did not know this either………I thought they were just “listening” links
so not I feel bad…….
558/ ”thumbs up”
Where is AndreaC?? Has she heard Ave Maria?
We know you wouldn’t hurt David for anything and didn’t know.
All the links are XXXXXXx. I’m a little too late. I called WalMart to make sure they will have it. They didn’t know but said they have boxes of Christmas music back there. hmmmm very helpful. I’ve ordered a ton of them, but they wont get here for a few weeks after the 13th.
woops……….now
I know you love David – no question there. Thanks for letting me jump in with my thoughts
Burkey – color me clueless! Yikes.
I think most of us are pretty computer illiterate when it comes to ripping and such.
KK-understand about the links being ripped, they are already global in that other countries have copies. Will do what we can here.
565/ don’t feel bad – it’s easy to forget how easy technology has made it for files like that to get ripped, passed around, and downloaded from place to place, with no recourse for the artists to gain a dime from legal sales… excitement to hear the songs is at a fever pitch, and it’s hard trying not to succumb to listening… but i’ll bite the bullet, and try not to make it easier for those inclined to illegally download david’s album…
Oh Pam05 – this is tooo much. gahhhhhhhh my heart and soul are exploding!!!
