juan poster

Thanks, Juan!  Here’s a bit of commentary:    Hey FOD, just sending you guys a simple CFTH promo poster I made for the tour. Don’t know what to do with it lol. I was listening to Silent night and Ave Maria the whole time I was making it. I guess that’s what inspired the whole dark “night” look to it. Decided to name it “Hauntingly Beautiful” hehe. Enjoy!

Christmas Arrives Early on MTV

Finally!  And OMHeck!  Jim and David harmonize beautifully!

This video, I must say, is vintage David.  Hilarious.  (“Whaaaaaat?”)

Click to go there, and leave comments!  LOTS OF COMMENTS!  This will no doubt hit YouTube shortly, but please leave comments on the MTV site.

mtv

As if that’s not precious enough, Jim posted his blog and just cannot stop gushing.  Serious giddiness going on here.

Yes, Jim, you have encountered the ArchuAura, and you will never be the same.

The Mix Forgives the Lost Phone Interview

David was scheduled for a call-in interview on The Mix WTMX out of Chicago yesterday (HUGE MARKET, dangit), as those of you who waited for 4 hours with us already know. 

When he realized he missed it (probably by finally seeing our numerous tweets), he apologized:

tweet to the mix

And the Mix has graciously responded:

tweet from the mix

*Could this perhaps be (yet another) sign that David may benefit from a personal assistant?  You know…one of those super-proficient professionally-trained staff who knows what he wants and needs before he does?  Someone who has him scheduled smoothly down to the second?  Why yes, I believe that now is the time.

Internet Buzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The Examiner

The writer is impressed with David’s 72 reviews on Amazon.   WHAT?!?  Only 72?  Okay, who has been shirking duties?  Get on over to Amazon and write that review!  Then copy it and paste it into iTunes if you haven’t done so already.

Media Herald Dispatch

This writer loves the album but is a bit disappointed that the mood is almost exclusively contemplative (he doesn’t say it that well, by the way).  Nonetheless, he gives a strong review.

    There are two concerts in SLC & maybe so many people already know David there that they feel they don’t need a VIP?

  8. GG_archudoors says:

    3/ for real burkey – they get to see david more than the rest of us, so maybe some think a vip is redundant, hahahha… i hope not – extra time with him and other fans of david is pretty cool!

    Christmas From The Heart to be Featured on Ireland Radio!

    Longtime New York Radio personality-DJ Pat Marino, who now spins his unique blend of love songs on Heartbeat FM in Dublin Ireland, will spotlight David Archuleta’s new CD “Christmas From The Heart” on his radio show this weekend!

    Pat is a big fan of David’s and personally bought a copy of the CD the day it was released on October 13th. Pat is most anxious to share songs from this beautiful new CD with his listening audience across Ireland and on the World Wide Web.

    On Sunday October 25th Pat Marino will dedicate the first hour of his radio show “The Heartbeat Cafe” to playing his favorite cuts off of “Christmas From The Heart.” Pat is hoping that he will be one of the first DJ’s to give radio airplay to some of David’s new Christmas songs and is sure that his listening audience will love these songs as well!

    “The Heartbeat Cafe with Pat Marino” airs twice on Sunday’s, both at 8am and 9pm (US EASTERN TIME) If fans cannot tune in during those broadcast times. A podcast of the show is also available to download and listen to on demand at any time that’s convenient for listeners.

    To listen to “The Heartbeat Cafe” on-line and for more information about the show, just visit :

  43. JoyF ( VIPs for SLC!!! ) says:

    Lettie: Can you believe there’s STILL VIPs available for SLC? :shock:

    All that stress Wednesday morning was so un-necessary.

    I really don’t understand why they’re not being snapped up.

  44. JoyF ( VIPs for SLC!!! ) says:

    Thanks GG :D

  45. Mary Jersey Girl {Waiting to see David in ATLANTIC CITY and Montclair for the CHRISTMAS TOUR!} says:

    JoyF- I’m shocked that they are still available too…I wonder if they decided to make that VIP alittle larger then the rest because its his home and all!

  46. Attitude/Candy says:

    Good Morning All-sorry, I was a bit distracted with the MTV video! How can you not smile back at David, his is pure joy!

  47. HeatherL says:

    Good Morning everyone!!!

    MARYLEE – HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

    That MTV video was great . David seems very happy and comfortable with Jim. Love his attitude about other people’s CD’s that were given out. Christmas is for sharing. Also love his answer about the birthday in Dec.. Such a loving and caring guy that gives from his heart. GAH!!!!

  48. Attitude/Candy says:

    45/JoyF-wonder if its the fact there are two shows back to back, maybe if it was just one like other cities they would be long gone. Im sure they will be once people realize they are still available.

  49. HeatherL says:

    Gosh I would love to hear the whole 60 minutes of that video. I think I read that the last guy was in tears after David sang OHN…….not sure where i read that…..

  50. NorthCarolinaGirl♥Marylee (in ♫Ave Maria♫ Heaven) says:

    ~Thanks, Candy! We’ve been hanging out here for a very long time and it’s been great fun!

    I’ve been trying to leave a comment at the MTV site, but it’s giving me a hard time about my password, etc. What a waste of time! David was adorable making his rounds…love that young man! :wink:

  51. kimk says:

    oh my gosh I just cracked my face!!!!!

    I Loved the MTV Christmas David Video!
    oh gosh the poor guy was like us in the end!

    I want to hear it all!!!
    dang he really is too adorable for his own good!

    THANK YOU JAMBAJIM!

  52. lettie2 says:

    JoyF, i know all that stress, maybe people are waiting for the upgrades……I wonder how many regular tickets will sell…..
    i upgraded in Denver and the seats i had weren’t bad, but the seats that the other VIP’s had were real nice, so I am glad we did what we did…..it will be awesome!!

  53. Attitude/Candy says:

    SLC just wasnt happening for me this time around, I had talked about it for months but when the dates came up, I knew it wasnt going to happen. Im thrilled that I am able to get to other shows within a decent distance though.

  54. NorthCarolinaGirl♥Marylee (in ♫Ave Maria♫ Heaven) says:

    ~Thanks to everyone for their Birthday wishes! Now if David would just TWEET ME, my special day would be complete! LOL! (no, I’m not going to hold my breath)… *wink*

  55. lettie2 says:

    Candy, I understand!! It sure would be great to meet you though…….

  56. NorthCarolinaGirl♥Marylee (in ♫Ave Maria♫ Heaven) says:

    I’m heading back to MTV & try to leave a comment…BBS.

  57. Attitude/Candy says:

    well, I must tackle that danged mundane, cant someone invent a “Mundane Fairy Godmother!” BBL

    *passing Marylee a piece of Birthday cake* Hat and noise maker too!

  58. lettie2 says:

    JoyF, did you see my post further up? If you get a chance would you check that out for me, I am not very goood at this airplane stuff!!

  83. Valerie says:

    Well, VIPs haven’t sold out in a few other places, either. Someone had mentioned that perhaps the timing isn’t the best, since ppl are saving their $ for Christmas gifts. Also, it seems to me that alot of the diehard fans have already been to a VIP and can’t afford to go twice, so maybe David just needs more diehard fans? I’m kind of wondering, too, how well the VIPs and concerts are being promoted– how much the general public even knows about them….OK, back to work.

  84. NorthCarolinaGirl♥Marylee (in ♫Ave Maria♫ Heaven) says:

    ~Morning, Andrea! Thanks sweetie, for those Birthday wishes! You guys are just awesome!

    The MTV video is absolutely precious! That last “fanboy” was hilarious…I know how he felt…”I’m standing next to David Archuleta”…that’s how I felt at VIP! LOL! It REALLY is an amazing experience when you stop to think about it…one that I will never forget…that’s for sure!

  85. GG_archudoors says:

    hi team…. they are ever reliable – disney dreaming and the mtv christmas video… go leave david some love! :grin:

    This is the best David Archuleta video we have ever seen! David spent time at the MTV offices Christmas caroling for employees and handing out Christmas CDs and throwing cotton balls so it would look like it was snowing. How adorable!

    Check out the video above and watch how excited David is about everything! We wish David would Christmas carol to us! What about you?

    ~Working my way back UP the posts….Thanks, EL! A birthday cake with David’s face on it would be killer…a Birthday TWEET from THE MAN would be even better… maybe if I keep talking about it, he’ll get the word…LOL!! (dream on, Mary)… :wink:

  87. GG_archudoors says:

    85/ hi valerie – no harm, no foul – v i p s in utah may be redundant for some fans, as they get to see and interact with david more than most… he’s gonna get a lotta love from there to kick off the rest of the tour – no doubt atall ! :grin:

    David Archuleta Prefers Nashville’s Relaxed Pace

    Posted October 23rd, 2009 by fashiongossip

    David Archuleta continued work on his second studio album in Nashville as he was interviewed with USA Today, where he revealed that the relaxed pace of Nashville is preferable to Los Angeles.

    The “American Idol” alum admitted that Los Angeles is not his favorite place since he felt like he’s at work. He described Nashville as so laid-back. Although he is happy in Utah, if he had to, probably he would move to Nashville.
    Meanwhile, David recently sat down with ABC News Radio yesterday where he talked about his “Christmas From the Heart” album. He shared his family and all of the traditions they observe during the holiday season. He also posted new Vlog on the youtube.

    Chart Beat Thursday: Happy (Early) Holidays
    by Gary Trust | October 22, 2009 6:49 EDT

    IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE …: More than a week before Halloween, and five weeks before Thanksgiving, the Billboard 200 is being decorated with a sleighful of yuletide albums.

    Five new holiday sets enter the Billboard 200, led by Bob Dylan’s “Christmas in the Heart” at No. 23. On Holiday Albums, the legend earns his first No. 1, as the collection vaults from No. 21 after street-date violations placed it on the list a week early.

    David Archuleta starts at No. 30 on the Billboard 200 with “Christmas From the Heart,” which opens at No. 2 on Holiday Albums.

    CONCERT REVIEW A Smorgasbord of MIT A Capella Groups:

    Their awe-inducing harmonies and modern flare provided a great lead into the last performance of the night by Resonance. Resonance’s trendy “Crush” (by David Archuleta) and highly charged “Untouched” (the Veronicas) brought an energetic end to the hour and a half long concert, and left the audience begging for more.

    Good morning everyone! TGIF!!

    Had to stop at Target this morning before work and did my obligatory stop in the music department to check on the status of CFTH. It had been restocked since last week but it was still on the bottom shelf next to Bob Dylan. That shelf position just won’t do! Come on Target! You will never guess where I placed his CD….in front of Neil Diamond. hahahaha I laughed when I got to work and saw the MTV video with David caroling with Jim Cantiello and Jim handing a Neil Diamond CD to a co-worker and David saying Neil is a great guy. Sorry Neil but I just had to put David on the top shelf…I am sure you will understand. lol

  128. angelbymyside says:

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARYLEE!! Hope you have a wonderful day filled with much happiness.

    David Archuleta Celebrates An Early ‘Archmas’ With Carols At MTV News

    Posted 39 minutes ago by Jim Cantiello in Behind The Scenes, Music

    They don’t come sweeter than David Archuleta. I know Paula Abdul
    got a lot of flack for saying she wanted to decapitate the boy and dangle
    his head from her rearview mirror (as a compliment), but after spending time
    with him this week I know exactly where Paula is coming from. By the end of
    our hour together, I was looking all over MTV for a hacksaw.

    David just released a (fantastic) new Christmas album, so I thought it would
    be fun to don a set of Holiday sweaters, load up a satchel with recycled promo
    CDs and go caroling around MTV with the “Idol” runner-up.

    Who cares that it’s only October?!

    The mere fact that David and his team agreed to our silly idea shows what
    a cool guy he is. I can’t think of many celebrities who would be willing to throw
    on an ugly, itchy sweater, walk into strangers’ offices and belt out Christmas carols
    for fun. (Although I will admit that the wardrobe took a fair amount of cajoling on
    my part. I might have to leak the video of his reaction when I said the words
    “Christmas sweaters.” Priceless.)

    I took David around to Archie fans here at MTV. And, as I expected, they all
    turned to goo as soon as he appeared in their doorway, ready to serenade them
    with his angelic pipes. But his appeal spread over to innocent bystanders as well.
    Look at the faces of everyone he came in contact with at MTV: That’s what pure,
    unadulterated joy looks like. (The only “Humbug!” was from James Montgomery, but
    he’s always a grouch when it comes to anyone other than Stephen Malkmus.)

    I could go on and on about how much fun I had with David, whether it was watching
    his face light up when we talked about our mutual love of Allison Iraheta
    (who he calls “spunky”) or how endearing his non-sequitors were (I tried my best
    to leave them fully in tact in the edit). And I almost passed out when he texted
    my dinner recommendation to none other than “Idol” contestant Carly Smithson!

    Selfishly, it was a dream come true to get to harmonize with the “Idol” superstar.
    His voice, rich and nuanced, sounded just as brilliant in person as it did on TV.
    Normally, I would make fun of my old pal Jeffrey for being such a drama queen,
    but damned if I didn’t also choke up when Archuleta fully immersed himself in a
    brilliant “O Holy Night,” despite being surrounded by DigiBeta tapes in a drab office.
    (And a jerky MTV News correspondent in a sweater and Santa cap.)

    In other words, I defy you to watch this video and not have a smile on your face.
    Like kittens, a fresh pair of socks and snagging a cab within five seconds of being
    outside, David Archuleta is an instant jolt of immense joy.

  141. GG_archudoors says:

    138/ you have inspired me joanie! :)

  142. angelbymyside says:

    Jim Cantiello is AWESOMEAGE!!

  143. marciami (DA is coming to my city - Ann Arbor!!!!) says:

    Hi EL -
    just checking the previous posts – I saw your post yesterday about getting tickets through ticketmaster for Cleveland and got a ticket. I am concerned it is valid since it was before the tickets officially went on sale without the donor. Also, I think when I called they said they did not go through ticketmaster. I got my email but I am just concerned – what do you think?

  144. Lorna says:

    #134 Hi Kim, I didn’t realize that Jim actually liked David as much as he does. Can’t wait for his write-up on the interview, I hope he divulges the AWESOME info he said he had about the next album.

  145. GG_archudoors says:

    141/ here’s to a great day for you david from texas – hurry back! :)

  146. kimk says:

    link #134

    bwaha…
    ‘By the end of our hour together, I was looking all over MTV for a hacksaw.’

    lol he is hysterical
    but yep so true…..

  147. EL says:

    Marciami ~ we received confirmation for our tickets….they didn’t actually go through Ticketmaster, but Ticketmaster notified us that we had reserved tickets…but it directed us to the Playhouse Square site…anyway, I’m miffed because I wanted 5 tickets together and couldn’t get them yesterday and now they are available. I’m calling the box office to see if I can exchange…but it says no refunds or exchanges so I don’t know. But anyway, I’m sure they are valid.

  148. kimk says:

    yes!
    Jim please ‘leak’ the video of his reaction to the words “Christmas sweaters”…!!!!!!
    yikes can’t stop smiling and chuckling
    and just darn happy!!

  149. EL says:

    I’m dying over that “hacksaw” comment. Hilarious!

  150. marciami (DA is coming to my city - Ann Arbor!!!!) says:

    I am on hold with the ticket office – hope they can exchange with you – it is just confusing – I got H row seats so I am thrilled but just want to make sure there is no problem when I get there – coming from Mich – ticketmaster transfered to the theatre so it doesn’t make much sense to me

  151. Lorna says:

    TWEET FROM CARLY

    @CarlySmithson @DavidArchie @jambajim Very nice Xmas Carols .I completely understand what u were doing in NY.BUY DAVIDS XMAS CD EVERYONE!

  153. CM(Yakima) says:

    Good morning everyone! Just popping in before I start work and lurking! I loved the MTV video! They seemed to really love David and appreciate his beautiful talent. I have to disagree with the reviewer about CFTH and it being too sedate! David had a goal for this CD, to create music that would bring the spirit and reverence of the Christmas season to those who listen with their heart! I guess the reviewer thinks of Christmas time as party time! Anyway just sayin! Have a wonderful day! Talk to you later!!

  154. Attitude/Candy says:

    The MTV write up from Jim is about as good as it gets!! The best compliment an artist can receive. If they dont like you, you get raked through the coals. Obviously they loved David. That my friends needs to go down in the archives of great reviews! Im praying he “leaks” the rest!

  155. GG_archudoors says:

    154/ hi lorna – you’re awesome as usual! :) thanks for the tweet!

    EL – just talked with the box office – said my ticket is valid although she didn’t know how it worked since they don’t use ticketmaster – she said no exchanges on seats since there is no way of doing it – sorry but maybe you will get a different answer from someone else

  159. GG_archudoors says:

    good morning cm/yakima and candy! :)

    Christmas From The Heart to be Featured on Ireland Radio!

    Longtime New York Radio personality-DJ Pat Marino, who now spins his unique blend of love songs on Heartbeat FM in Dublin Ireland, will spotlight David Archuleta’s new CD “Christmas From The Heart” on his radio show this weekend!

    Pat is a big fan of David’s and personally bought a copy of the CD the day it was released on October 13th. Pat is most anxious to share songs from this beautiful new CD with his listening audience across Ireland and on the World Wide Web.

    On Sunday October 25th Pat Marino will dedicate the first hour of his radio show “The Heartbeat Cafe” to playing his favorite cuts off of “Christmas From The Heart.” Pat is hoping that he will be one of the first DJ’s to give radio airplay to some of David’s new Christmas songs and is sure that his listening audience will love these songs as well!

    “The Heartbeat Cafe with Pat Marino” airs twice on Sunday’s, both at 8am and 9pm (US EASTERN TIME) If fans cannot tune in during those broadcast times. A podcast of the show is also available to download and listen to on demand at any time that’s convenient for listeners.

    To listen to “The Heartbeat Cafe” on-line and for more info about the show, just visit :

    Marciami ~ I just got off the phone with Playhouse Square and got my tix exchanged! She said since they hadn’t been printed yet I could exchange them. So I got 5 seats together in Orch row R. We had T and W I think before…so were a little closer. She said 100 VIPs sold out! I asked her how sales were going and she said she thought they were a little slow, but the tickets don’t go on sale to the public until tomorrow. She said she didn’t think a lot of people were aware of the show yet (except the fan sites) because it’s not actually listed on Ticketmaster…they work together with Ticketmaster but the tix are actually sold through Playhouse. And yes the tix are valid. Yay! I don’t think we have met…so hoping to see you there!

  176. TrudyFOD says:

    ============================================================
    This is the best David Archuleta video we have ever seen! David spent time
    at the MTV offices Christmas caroling for employees and handing out Christmas CDs
    and throwing cotton balls so it would look like it was snowing. How adorable!

    Check out the video above and watch how excited David is about everything!
    We wish David would Christmas carol to us! What about you?

  180. Angelgal3 says:

    Happy Friday everyone! I just loved that MTV video with Jim Cantiello! It’s so apparent how everyone just loves David! The last guy’s reaction was just priceless when David was singing O Holy Night! Great promo and you can see how much Jim likes David too. I’m going to go over there and leave a comment.

  181. EL says:

    I thought David looked pretty buff in that MTV video, but maybe it was the bulky sweater, lol. I thought he was going to pick up all the cotton balls there for a moment…you know how he dislikes litter, haha. What a doll!

  182. GG_archudoors says:

    179/ you got that right trudy – and have i told you lately that you’re pretty awesome? well u are :grin:

    178/ so happy this worked out for you el – you’re going to have a marvelous time at the show!

  183. EL says:

    Btw, Cleveland could teach SLC a thing or two about VIPs, haha. 100 VIPs sold out in hours. Wow. Ohio loves the Archuleta!

  184. GG_archudoors says:

    183/ hi Angelgal3!

  185. EL says:

    Thanks GG…I’m so excited because my boss, her husband and 8 yr old daughter are going with my hubby and me. This will be there first time seeing/hearing the MAN in person. The daughter is crazy over him…says he’s “hot”, haha…so funny coming from an 8 yr old. I got her a poster signed to her personally from David and she was over the moon. So, I’m looking forward to introducing them to the VOICE.

  186. Lorna says:

    TWEET FROM THE RADIO STATION WHERE DAVID MISSED THE INTERVIEW

    @EricandKathy @DavidArchie No worries, David! You have the most understanding fans! I’m sure we’ll talk soon.

  187. GG_archudoors says:

    188/ that’s fantastic el – i hope the boss is just bowled over, and becomes as bad as the rest of us, hahahha… bad meaning good, of course! :grin:

  188. EL says:

    Darn that Freud….should be This will be “their” not “there”… Jenny probably cringes when she sees some of our grammar and spelling (or lack thereof) :lol:

  189. GG_archudoors says:

    189/ whewwwww – thank you again lorna for that tweet… was a little concerned about their reaction to the missed visit – all is right again! :grin:

  190. TrudyFOD says:

    185/gg – thanks! – it’s always fun and exciting to get out the word on David!!! I always check in to see what we need to work on…so “thank you” for keeping us all on task!! ha ha

  191. EL says:

    GG ~ well she does like him…she bought his debut CD for her daughter and I am gifting the Christmas CD to her. She really likes his wholesomeness…the fact that she can feel safe having her daughter listen to his music and not have to worry about bad language or messages.

  192. marciami (DA is coming to my city - Ann Arbor!!!!) says:

    EL – so glad for you – different people do say different things – glad they are all together – thanks so much for posting that – I was sweating over the thought of trying to get a good seat tomorrow – would be great to meet you there

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

    Good Morning, All! I love Fridays!!! The David/Jim/MTV video was priceless! Way to start the day!

  194. marciami (DA is coming to my city - Ann Arbor!!!!) says:

    EL – do you know if Hollyre is going to Cleveland – I thought she posted that she got VIP’s with others – if you were with her in the alley behind the Columbus show last March waiting for David, I was there and quickly said “hi” and talked about whether to wait – I remember we all waited until the bus pulled out. Lots of talk with Ray about whether David would come out. Oh well, I was the one with the large photo of David I wanted him to sign

  195. jeani/ut says:

    Hi all
    Somebody tweet David to check fansite each morning to see what he’s going to do.

  196. GG_archudoors says:

    193/ hi trudy…

    my virgo nature rears its head from time to time, hahaha – have a great day, and will look for you on here later! :grin:

    196/ hugs pamtimmie – for you and miles! :grin: how is your hubby – hope he’s coming along fine…

  197. GG_archudoors says:

    198/ hi jeani/ut! now that’s not a bad idea :grin:

  198. marciami (DA is coming to my city - Ann Arbor!!!!) says:

    Jim loves David – huge fanboy – what fun to watch them – took care of Neil Diamond for sure with how great he was

  199. marciami (DA is coming to my city - Ann Arbor!!!!) says:

    A new David word – Archmas. Someone needs to start a dictionary of David words – Archugaze, etc. David would be blown away to see them

  200. Angelgal3 says:

    Hi GG! Just commented over at MTV. I loved that video! It’s clear that Jim likes and respects David and those are the kinds of people I like to see him doing promotion with.

  201. newsarch says:

    are you kidding me? there are SLC vips still available? I thought they’d go in seconds!
    aaaaaagh…..sooooo tempted but I already bought 3 regular tkts for the 25th
    I’ve never done a VIP–never met David other than the Idol concert when I lost all ability to speak & just sat there with a stupid grin on my face ;)
    I’m officially addicted to hearing David sing live & after hearing “oh holy night” on the MTV video, I may just have to juggle the budget & get a VIP!!!!!!
    BTW, you all are great here at FOD :)

  202. kimk says:

    Marciami I think there is an Archunary….

  203. angelbymyside says:

    marciami/202 ~ There is an Archu-dictionary. Some of our FODers compiled “David words” and gave it to him during a VIP on the summer tour.

  204. jeani/ut says:

    I’ve done my part on the SLC VIPs. I have one for both nights and i bought one extra for my daughter in law. She’s a brave one. I’ll stick right by her the first night. I was feeling really guilty for taking both nights. My guilt is gone now.

  205. marciami (DA is coming to my city - Ann Arbor!!!!) says:

    Hi Kimk – do you know where it is – does it really exist in black and white and not just in our heads? David needs to see it – take a pic of that laugh

  206. angelbymyside says:

    Hello newsarch! There is nothing better than hearing David sing live. One day when you are able, do yourself a favor and get a VIP. It is quite an amazing experience and one which you will never forget.

  207. Patty says:

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARYLEE!
    Hello Everyone. I love the MTV video. I been see it couple time now…and I proud of my self because I left my comment too. :)

  208. marciami (DA is coming to my city - Ann Arbor!!!!) says:

    angelbymyside – ow WOW – missed that – he must have been so shocked

  209. angelbymyside says:

    marciami/209 ~ There was a picture posted of David receiving the Archunary back in the summer. He got quite a kick out of it and couldn’t stop looking at it. I also think that we could download the Archunary at the time but I don’t know if it is available now.

  210. marciami (DA is coming to my city - Ann Arbor!!!!) says:

    Have a great Friday – icky rainy and gray day here in Ann Arbor – hope it won’t be too cold for David at the end of November – could be winter here with snow – David needs to bring some of his scarves for sure

  211. angelbymyside says:

    marciami/214 ~ Scarves FTW!! lol

  212. marciami (DA is coming to my city - Ann Arbor!!!!) says:

    213 – thanks – maybe I’ll do a search – wish I had a pic of that in the thousands (shhhhh) that I have in my photo library – I just decided it is a hobby – lol

  213. marciami (DA is coming to my city - Ann Arbor!!!!) says:

    maybe JenB has it – or someone as obsessed as I am with the pics

  214. HeatherL says:

    Hello everyone!! Cant stay long. El and Marciami yeah Ohio…….actually Cleveland sold out like in 45 minutes. ……because after i bought my VIP’s I looked like 15 minutes later and the SOLD OUT sign was up!!!! Yes Holly is going to Cleveland VIP!!! I was at Colombus concert too……what a small world!!

  215. GG_archudoors says:

    marciami ~ It is available for download also.

  224. jeani/ut says:

    GG I just didn’t want to take the opportunity away from someone else, but you’re right since I had one. I’ve seen him three times from afar.

  225. angelbymyside says:

    marciami ~ You can get a FREE download of the Archunary.

  226. jeani/ut says:

    I don’t think I made any sense in that last post. oh well.

  227. marciami (DA is coming to my city - Ann Arbor!!!!) says:

    angel – it says the download costs the same

  228. LK09 (Linda) says:

    Hello! Not teaching today, although I have a meeting in the afternoon.

    I love how he says “Thanks for letting me CHRISTmas (Christ) carol” on the MTV video!

    Jeani/UT, I bought 2 VIP tickets for Tuesday night in SLC, although I am not sure who I am going with yet. I really want to go with someone who will really appreciate it and that is not my husband. He likes David but he does not want to spend the money.

  229. pam05 ♥ Thankyou David, for this Spiritual Jorney you have given us ♥ says:

    MARCIAMI
    FG AND THE GROUP OF ARE GOING OUT TO EAT BEFORE THE CONCERT NOT AFTER THE CONCERT INSTEAD. BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE NEED TO GET BACK EARLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO WORK EARLY IN THE MORNING. DO YOU WANT TO MEET US FOR LUNCH BEFORE THE CONCERT? WE CAN PROB. JUST EAT AT ONE OF THE RESTAURANTS WITH IN THAT FIRST BLOCK BY THE CONCERT VENUE :D

    HAHA. Class act? I don’t think so. Cracking blue jokes to little innocent David is not classy. But I’m so glad you guys are enjoying the video and blog!! We also did a nice sit-down interview about his Xmas album AND his next album. So there’s more to come soon…

    I saw this comment in the comment section on MMTV :D

  238. EL says:

    Marciami ~ if you are still here…I’m sorry, not ignoring you, just at work so I can’t stay on FOD as much as I would like…and have to just check periodically. I guess Holly is going from HeatherL’s post. Yay! I love Holly. I know LLALaurie is going and a few others just can’t remember who right now. I don’t remember you from Columbus but I’m sure I will when I see your face again. It’s going to be so much fun!

  239. LK09 (Linda) says:

    Patty,

    Have we met? I have met so many FODers. I have very dark hair. Are you going to the 24th VIP?

  240. EL says:

    Pam05 ~ are you going to the Cleveland concert?

  241. pam05 ♥ Thankyou David, for this Spiritual Jorney you have given us ♥ says:

    For some reason my comment has not shown up yet on the MTV site, maybe it takes awhile to kick in?

  242. sandrita says:

    Hi Patty.. sorry for the delay :oops:
    Today I’m free .. no job, no class.. i’m happy :lol:

  243. Hector Spector Dexter says:

  248. marciami (DA is coming to my city - Ann Arbor!!!!) says:

    pam05 and EKL-
    just catching up on the posts

  249. andrea c (pittsburgh) says:

    From frogcooke :D

  254. marciami (DA is coming to my city - Ann Arbor!!!!) says:

    EL – it was dark in the alley so I don’t think we would recognize each other – I wonder if they are all going to VIP – are you driving in and staying over – I don’t know if it would work out but maybe we could get together before the concert with some others if they aren’t in dreamland with David – bah they cancelled AA VIP – or maybe after for a quick hello

  255. Hector Spector Dexter says:

    Hey Andrea!! thats a great Idea!!.. let Kristin be his assistant!.. you should ask her that for the interview!

  256. Hector Spector Dexter says:

    KIMK- welcome! hello by the way!!..

  257. EL says:

    Pam05 ~ no VIP for me in Cleveland. Going with my boss, her husband and daughter and my husband. Sorry you’re not going to Cleveland…would love to see you again. I’m sure we will sometime…there will be lots of concerts to go to. Awww, just the thought of it!

  258. marciami (DA is coming to my city - Ann Arbor!!!!) says:

    pam05 – I got a lot of awesome large 7×9 “postcards” from AASO. They have GORGEOUS pictures on the front and back and don’t look like a postcard but there is a place for a stamp and for a small address label. The pic on the back is of David sitting in the green seats in the theatre – WOW – the front is of the commerical they are putting on TV – would you like me to send you some – glad to do it – even great for my keepsake book

  259. pam05 ♥ Thankyou David, for this Spiritual Jorney you have given us ♥ says:

    I don’t know yet, maybe when we arrive I can call you and we can just find a place near the venue. There might be around 6 of us, I don’t know for sure. I don’t think we need to make reservations or anything like that. Maybe we can just eat at a place like Panera Bread, where you just walk in and place your order and sit down. Then we don’t have to worry about tips either, some of us are on a very tight budget.

  260. pam05 ♥ Thankyou David, for this Spiritual Jorney you have given us ♥ says:

    marciami
    I ordered some from AASO they should arrive Sat he said, I thought I would pass those out as flyers to get people to go to the concert. Thanks anyway though :D

  261. EL says:

    Marciami ~ Cleveland is just an hour drive for me. I’m not sure yet what we are doing as far as maybe going to dinner or meeting with other FOD’s before the concert. I’m always up for that though. A bunch of us got together in Cincinnati and went out for Pad Thai. It was the first time I had it and it was delicious. So, hopefully some plans will be made and we can meet up.

  262. andrea c (pittsburgh) says:

    kimk, Hector…. I should ask her….lol….. and she has already worked with David and knows how ‘enthusiastic’ his fans can be….. and she just handles everything so well….

  263. pam05 ♥ Thankyou David, for this Spiritual Jorney you have given us ♥ says:

    El
    It sounds like you are going to have a great time, I would of loved to of gone to Cleveland again and meet up again. I had a great time last time, even though it was for a short period of time, it’s alot of fun meeting David’s fans. Someday :D

  264. Patty says:

    Linda: I dont thing we meet this is my first time that I going to David’s concert and also my first VIP I am so happy :)

    Hey Sandrita that’s okay I always late to answer too…I off work too trying to take off before my busy time of the year start.

  265. marciami (DA is coming to my city - Ann Arbor!!!!) says:

    Thanks EL – it would really be nice to get together if only for a short time – we have time but maybe we can check with Holly when she gets back and see what her plans are – especially for the VIP people – I live a good 3 hours from Cleveland and can’t decide whether to drive home after or not – if we are going to get together after the fantastic concert then I would plan to do that – it would be so much fun to meet others – thanks

  266. pam05 ♥ Thankyou David, for this Spiritual Jorney you have given us ♥ says:

    I noticed that some of the stores are starting to decorate for the holidays :D So maybe they will soon move the CD’s to the front of the store so people will see them better :wink:

  267. Hector Spector Dexter says:

    So true ANDREA!.. she’d be great for the job.. its all up to David though.. see if he wants an assistant..

  268. marciami (DA is coming to my city - Ann Arbor!!!!) says:

    pam05 – they have the big “postcards” and are also getting small “posters”
    there is no Paneras downtown but I will check out a place like that and see what would work for everyone –
    there is a Noodle ? place that actually has Pad Thai!!!! I will let you guys know what the choices would be – thanks so much – I am driving to Cleveland and trying to decide whether to stay over or drive home after and stay awake!!
    No blizzards I hope – that stretch south of Lake Erie gets terrible weather

    David Archuleta Celebrates An Early ‘Archmas’ With Carols At MTV News
    Posted 2 hrs ago by Jim Cantiello in Behind The Scenes, Music
    They don’t come sweeter than David Archuleta. I know Paula Abdul got a lot of flack for saying she wanted to decapitate the boy and dangle his head from her rearview mirror (as a compliment), but after spending time with him this week I know exactly where Paula is coming from. By the end of our hour together, I was looking all over MTV for a hacksaw.

    David just released a (fantastic) new Christmas album, so I thought it would be fun to don a set of Holiday sweaters, load up a satchel with recycled promo CDs and go caroling around MTV with the “Idol” runner-up.

    Who cares that it’s only October? The mere fact that David and his team agreed to our silly idea shows what a cool guy he is. I can’t think of many celebrities who would be willing to throw on an ugly, itchy sweater, walk into strangers’ offices and belt out Christmas carols for fun. (Although I will admit that the wardrobe took a fair amount of cajoling on my part. I might have to leak the video of his reaction when I said the words “Christmas sweaters.” Priceless.)

    I took David around to Archie fans here at MTV. And, as I expected, they all turned to goo as soon as he appeared in their doorway, ready to serenade them with his angelic pipes. But his appeal spread over to innocent bystanders as well. Look at the faces of everyone he came in contact with at MTV: That’s what pure, unadulterated joy looks like. (The only “Humbug!” was from James Montgomery, but he’s always a grouch when it comes to anyone other than Stephen Malkmus.)

    I could go on and on about how much fun I had with David, whether it was watching his face light up when we talked about our mutual love of Allison Iraheta (who he calls “spunky”) or how endearing his non-sequitors were (I tried my best to leave them fully in tact in the edit). And I almost passed out when he texted my dinner recommendation to none other than “Idol” contestant Carly Smithson!

    Selfishly, it was a dream come true to get to harmonize with the “Idol” superstar. His voice, rich and nuanced, sounded just as brilliant in person as it did on TV. Normally, I would make fun of my old pal Jeffrey for being such a drama queen, but damned if I didn’t also choke up when Archuleta fully immersed himself in a brilliant “O Holy Night,” despite being surrounded by DigiBeta tapes in a drab office. (And a jerky MTV News correspondent in a sweater and Santa cap.)

    In other words, I defy you to watch this video and not have a smile on your face. Like kittens, a fresh pair of socks and snagging a cab within five seconds of being outside, David Archuleta is an instant jolt of immense joy.

  274. marciami (DA is coming to my city - Ann Arbor!!!!) says:

    pam05 – I was saying earlier that David needs to bring his scarves because that could be winter here with snow – and he hates the cold – love that orange juice!! – but I think I should bring him some nice hot tea with Michigan honey!!

  275. Hector Spector Dexter says:

    K time for me to go.. nice seeing you all again!.. much luv FOD fam.. hope you all have a great day!

  276. marciami (DA is coming to my city - Ann Arbor!!!!) says:

    I loved it in the MTV sing with Jim when he said something really awful about asking Jesus about his b’day being so close after xmas and David beautifully replied “I think his birthday is more important than mine” True David and with such style.

    I kind of think on the MTV video that the ‘Penguin’ might be a champagne bottle on a calendar?
    But what is the ‘poster’…. what he says is so interesting….
    looking at the vid I am almost afraid to ask….

    hence Freaky Friday Question Day….

  305. Misha says:

    hello GG & Kimk!!!!

    I wish i could come of of lurkerdom but i’m so busy with work so the little time i can squeeze out it’s for my david daily duties and then saving all the pages of FOD comments so i can go through all the comments before heading to dream land were i can dream of David singing all the songs i love best all night long.ha!!!! ha!!!!

    Misha come and visit when you can. hugs.

  308. sj says:

    Here’s the text from kimk’s link:

    It was wonderful to meet him – yes, folks, I’m the chubby guy David serenades with “Oh Holy Night”. Too bad Jim couldn’t post the whole song – let me tell you from the bottom of my soul, it was one of the most astonishing acapella performances I’ve ever heard and it will be added to my annual Christmas Mix. I almost wept.
    He was just as down-to-earth, humbled and sweet as he appears in every interview you’ve ever seen him in. At one point, Jim throws cotton balls in the air, and David started to lean over to help pick them up! I said, “DAVID! STOP!” He was actually about to get on the floor to help clean my floor! It was so genuine, I just wanted to put him in my pocket, take him home and place on my fireplace. He’s a living doll – and it was an honour to meet him. JeffreyCrh

    Really cute MTV Christmas caroling video.

    They all love David there, that was plain to see :-)

    I think everyone loves David…….

  311. NA/northernangel says:

    Thank you, Jenny! Looks like I have some comments to leave. *hides*

    Jamba Jim is ridiculously awesome!! What fun they had, immense joy indeed!

    I’d be happy to step in as David’s personal assistant. ;) All kidding aside, I do think David would benefit from a PA. I’m sure there’s lots of ambitious, young people out there who would qualify and do it nearly for free. What a great way to get there foot in the door in the music biz.

  312. NA/northernangel says:

    Haaappy Birthdaaay to dear, sweet Marylee, wherever she might be!! :)

  313. hollyre says:

    Hi Everyone! That caroling video was absolutely the best. I wish the entire video would be posted. I am having a hard time commenting on MTV. I have signed in, but the page just refreshes when I try to comment. Any tips on how I can do it?

  314. David From Texas(SLC, Baltimore, Stroudsburg) says:

    Hello Burkey!
    Hello NA! You would be awesome at it! I would love that position of personal assistant as well. hehe. Maybe we should all tweet him to remind him when an interview is to take place.

  315. David From Texas(SLC, Baltimore, Stroudsburg) says:

    Hello Holly!

  316. hollyre says:

    Hi DFT! What’s going on? Are you able to attend any Christmas concerts? I know he’s not going to TX.

  317. hollyre says:

    DFT – I just noticed your list after your name. That’s great! I’m going to Waukegan and Cleveland.

  318. jeani/ut says:

    Maybe the bruise on his leg is from kicking himself for not doing the interview.

  319. David From Texas(SLC, Baltimore, Stroudsburg) says:

    Yes, Holly! I am going to 4 concerts! Wooohooo, Waukegan and Cleveland! That is awesome! Do you still have buttons? It would be great to have it reposted for the Christmas concerts.
    Hi Jeani! lol

  320. NA/northernangel says:

    324/jeani – Or perhaps the bruise is from toting his luggage down several flights of stairs.

    I bruise easily, so a new one never phases me.

  321. David From Texas(SLC, Baltimore, Stroudsburg) says:

    could be, NA.

  322. kimk says:

    Hello David, Holly, SJ (thanks for posting that), NA and Jeani!!

    Yay, GG! Teeeeee Geeee eye effff!

  326. hollyre says:

    HI KIMK!

    GG That sounds great to me.

    DFT I still do have buttons. Becky is going to post the FOD button info when I return from my vacation. I don’t have tons left, but some.

  327. David From Texas(SLC, Baltimore, Stroudsburg) says:

    cool, that is great Holly!
    yummy, GG! cake and ice cream!

  328. JoyF ( VIPs for SLC!!! ) says:

    #332 hollyre: Thanks for your help earlier. I figured it out with frogcooke’s help and sent the link to Jenny.

  329. David From Texas(SLC, Baltimore, Stroudsburg) says:

    Hello JoyF!

  330. kimk says:

    Cake and Ice cream??!!!
    …hey I will buy the noise makers and confetti!
    seems like we have been celebrating too too much lately!! woot!

  331. JoyF ( VIPs for SLC!!! ) says:

    #325 DFT: What concert are you going to in SLC?

  332. jeani/ut says:

    NA I think you’ve got it. Carrying big stuff is usually where I get them
    I’m off for a 3 hour trip to Pleasant Grove ( by SLC) for a BYU football game tomorrow. Tomorrow I will be a cougar. haha. Guess what I’ll be listening to on my way. Bye

  333. hollyre says:

    JoyF – I’m glad you got it figgered out. Frogcooke is really good at that type of thing. I’m still learning most of this computer stuff!

  334. David From Texas(SLC, Baltimore, Stroudsburg) says:

    Both JoyF! No VIP though. I am awfully tempted though. Which night do you have VIPs for?
    woohoo, Jeani! have fun at the game! David Archuleta all the way! (((hugs))) Love you!

  335. JoyF ( VIPs for SLC!!! ) says:

    I have VIPs for both nights. You just gotta do it David..you know you wanna. :D

  336. Catherine says:

    Just watched MTV video!! OMG, so great!
    And Jim’s blog is nice ~ “immense joy” ~ great two word summation of David!!
    Saw the O Holy Night guy’s comment, too. That guy is one lucky dude.
    Just wanted to say a quick hi, but I need to go watch the video again!
    Have a nice Friday night if I don’t make it back!

  337. David From Texas(SLC, Baltimore, Stroudsburg) says:

    I really do, JoyF. Especially seeing that it is his hometown and that it isn’t sold out yet. Do you know how many FODers have VIP for SLC?

  338. hollyre says:

    Hi Catherine. The video and blogs were fabulous. When people encounter David, they can’t help but fall in love with who David is. And that voice just stuns.

  339. David From Texas(SLC, Baltimore, Stroudsburg) says:

    Hi Catherine! Have a very nice Friday! (((Hugs)))

  340. David From Texas(SLC, Baltimore, Stroudsburg) says:

    JoyF.: I have Row 14 tickets for both nights. If I do go VIP, it would probably second night. I would have one extra ticket if I did. hmmmm

  341. JoyF ( VIPs for SLC!!! ) says:

    DFT: I know of 10 so far, but are probably more that I don’t know about.

  342. JoyF ( VIPs for SLC!!! ) says:

    DFT: Row 14 is a great seat. You could always wait to see if you can upgrade later or sell your regular ticket.

  343. hollyre says:

    346/DFT – If they don’t sell out the VIPs for SLC they may do VIP upgrades. That way you still have your original seat and just add the VIP. It costs less to upgrade. We did that for the Cincinnati summer tour concert.

  344. David From Texas(SLC, Baltimore, Stroudsburg) says:

    Wow, 10 both nights! That is great! Yes, it is an idea.
    lol ♫Tell me whyyyyyyyyy, I can’t make up my mind♫ hehe
    Wahwahwahwahwah!!! I am really tempted!

  345. Attitude/Candy says:

    Hello Everyone! Pumpkin carving going on at my house. I think Lyla was counting on my being a master pumpkin carver! Doing my best!

    How great is it to read all of the wonderful comments from the people at MTV, they “get David” they understand what we do! Lordy, there is hope for the rest of the world!

    Woot for my Target. They had 10 copies of CFTH! Last week they were out, makes me happy to see that stock is being replenished!! I bought three more! :)

  346. David From Texas(SLC, Baltimore, Stroudsburg) says:

    True, Holly! That is an option.

  347. Attitude/Candy says:

    332/Hi Holly-maybe you could let Jenny/Becky know you have buttons, someone was asking yesterday.

  348. David From Texas(SLC, Baltimore, Stroudsburg) says:

    Hello Candy! yum, pumpkin! You are doing great, I am sure of it! Woohooo, Target! Yay!!! That is awesomeage! Need to promote that Target! Thanks for buying more!

  349. hollyre says:

    Candy – HI!!! AC is coming up soon. I may send a new supply of you know what for all you FODers. Have you ever used a drill for pumpkin carving? I did that one year. Polka dot pumpkins. I had orange and white.

  350. Attitude/Candy says:

    DFT-Youre going to Stroudsburg too??? Woot we’ll get a chance to get to acquainted in Balt and PA!! :)

  351. David From Texas(SLC, Baltimore, Stroudsburg) says:

    Cool, Holly! That sounds great! A drill! Great idea!

  352. Attitude/Candy says:

    355/Holly- Lyla picked this really hard kit to use, it is finally done and she is beyond happy so it was all worth it. Never used a drill, why didnt I think of that before I started!! Oh a new supply…I can do that if you want, Im the one that ate the others! :)

  353. David From Texas(SLC, Baltimore, Stroudsburg) says:

    Yes, Candy! Wooohooo! Can’t wait to meet you! That is great! Yayayayayay! I am going with Donna (DH) to Baltimore and Stroudsburg! In Stroudsburg we have a box!

  354. Attitude/Candy says:

    Oh Holly-are we going to to be able to know who won the quilt you had up for auction…I wad beyond thrilled that S/D got the pillow! They are super supportive fans!

  355. Attitude/Candy says:

    359/DFT-so do we!! Tom got us a box for PA, sounds like we will be really close to each other, How sweet is that! :)

  356. hollyre says:

    360/Candy – I don’t know about the quilt. I’ll check into it when I get home. I would also love to know who has the quilt. It’s great that FODers have the pillow.

  357. David From Texas(SLC, Baltimore, Stroudsburg) says:

    That is just great! I heard about the box Tom got but didn’t know who was in it! I know Trudy is going also! I think we have lower left box! We can wave at each other! David will have lots of FOD love for sure! It is super sweet! squeeeeeeeeee

  358. Attitude/Candy says:

    362/Opps Holly, I forgot you were still on vacation. No hurry, I was just curious.

  359. Attitude/Candy says:

    DFT-Im pretty sure Trudy is in the box with Tom, also think Scott/Jeff, not sure who else.

  360. David From Texas(SLC, Baltimore, Stroudsburg) says:

    That is super cool! Can’t wait to meet you all! Christmas from the heart concert is going to be awesome!

  361. David From Texas(SLC, Baltimore, Stroudsburg) says:

    I met Trudy in Grand Prairie! She is super sweet!

  362. Attitude/Candy says:

    Gotta get some dinner for my group! Be back a little later!

  363. David From Texas(SLC, Baltimore, Stroudsburg) says:

    Ok, See you later, Candy! Have a great day!

  366. CM(Yakima) says:

    What impressed me the most on the MTV video is when David started harmonizing with Jim. He just looked at him and seemed to think OK your singing in whatever key and he comes right in with harmonizing! That is talent on a master scale. Harmonizing is hard just off the cuff like that and David just makes it look so easy!

  367. muldur says:

    DFT, yes we are the lower left box.
