Post-concert withdrawal symptoms, anyone?

*****

Live with Regis and Kelly this Morning!

 

********

Interview with Kathy Lee and Hoda

Very nice indeed.  The point of the Christmas album?  “These songs just mean so much to me.  They’re really close to my heart.”

David refuses to trash Adam Lambert, commenting honestly that he didn’t watch the AMAs.

He also discusses the great crowds at the concerts and how sad he is that this Christmas tour is over.

Funniest moment: Kathy Lee gushes about David’s genuineness and mutters “We used to be like you.  Don’t let happen to you what happened to us.”  David, in his guileless manner, says “What happened?”

Quell that Urge to Shop for David and Think Charity Instead!

David’s birthday is December 28th.  Should you shop for him?  Perhaps he needs another t-shirt?  Another CD?  Another scrapbook?  Those fan gifts are always cherished, but David is overwhelmed with them.  What he really wants is for you to donate to charity.

Angels for a Cause has several autographed items for auction to benefit the Lisa Lopes Foundation.  Bid on one and give it to your favorite Archie fan.

Billboard Live DVD?

Apparently there will be a DVD available for purchase of David’s Billboard Live concert at some point “down the line.”  Hmmm.  Exciting, nonetheless.

Elena’s Concert Recap + Videos

Elena, frequent contributor to FOD, had a wonderful time in Boston and Westbury and posted about it on David’s official site.  Read her story by clicking “read the rest of this entry.”  Thanks, Elena!

Elena in Boston and Westbury

Boston.

Whoo-hoo! I have been waiting for my Boston trip for a long time! My first ever time in Boston:) I knew it would be special. I checked in to the hotel and the lady at the reception was very nice, she said she is a big fan of Virginia, she loved that state, wished me happy birthday and upgraded my room. I told her I am here to see David Archuleta and gave her David’s CFTH cd. She was very happy. It was so freezing in Boston so I could not brace myself to go out explore Boston as much as I could, so after getting frozen on the way from lunch and quick stop at Best Buy ( to check on David where I was notified that CFTH is so popular and they dont have it, the last copy was gone 2 hrs ago ). They also told they are getting more soon. :) Anyway, the rest of the day I spent inside my hotel room with Weather Channel watching my home getting snowed in. Next day I met with my e-friends and we went to the venue. I had VIP and was soo over the top excited.

VIP Songs

That VIP must have been the best in the history of VIPs. We watched sondcheck of the band from the balcony, orchestra was present and they were so fantastic I almost cried. I think David need to have his own orchestra. Kendra was taking a leading role in the soundcheck and was calling which songs they need to rehearse. After the band’s soundcheck we went downstairs to the floor (we had GA set up) and soon David came out..in a SNUGGIE! OMG, I think everybody just died. It was too adorable! He said its very cold and somebody screamed something and David waved the sleeves of the snuggie and said that he would like to think that he looks like a Harry Potter or a ghost. He then realized his sleeve is a little glittery and said its because the snuggie was next to this very glittery bag. Then he asked which song we would like to hear and finally decided to do Pat a Pan. He started signing and was kind of waving with his snuggie and giggled in between pronouncing french words, that made everybody laugh. But he got into the song and magically snuggie disappeared and we only saw David and his powerful voice and angelic light. Which confirms that no matter what David wears, no matter what around him, when David sings the world disappears. After he was PaP he said that he will sing Waiting For Yesterday because that song has such a nice balance. For WFY he took the snuggie off and with a flirty smile just throw it on the floor next to him. It was so cute. He gave it all to us singing WFY, he was on fire! Voice was incredibly strong. Then it was time for Q&A. i will not be covering that many people already know what happened.

Pictures

I was put in line and after being sanitized :-) it was my turn to see David. Gosh, precious few seconds, I wish they were so stretched in slow motion!

David: Heeey!!

Me: Hi David! (grinning like a total fan girl.LOL)

Me:Today is my birthday, David!

David: Aww,really? happy birthday!

Kristin: Happy Birthday, You are Elena, right?

Me: Yes

David (singing while looking at the camera): Eleeennaaa

*Me dying…* picture taken..

Me: Thank you so much for your note that you wrote to us in Baltimore in Cheesecake Factory. That was so sweet of you.

David *spacy look first, then he remembered what I was talking about and smiled: Aww!

Me: Can I have a hug please?

David: Yes, sure!

*Me dying..*

Me: See you in New York..hopefully..Have a safe drive! *walking away*

David: Have a safe trip there too!

And then I was asked to move on:-)

The show.

Not going to cover the details but one of the episodes must be mentioned. The epic What Child Is This.

It was amazing. He looked directly into my camera at one point and I was surprised I was still standing..After the song the girls behind me started calling security and when the light was pointed on them they said that somebody fainted. David was so concerned as you could see in the video. But what did he expect? When he sings like that people fall on the floor..that is how it is..it is given. I guess the whole tour was designed strategically so people can sit down while listening to David sing. Standing while listening to David perform songs like POTC, AM, OHN or WCIT is almost impossible.

Westbury

It was amazing as you all saw in videos. My phone died on the train to Westbury (I am pretty sure it was David Archuleta overload) and I could not tweet everything that I wanted to share with you all! AHH!!! I did not have VIP though.

David definitely took the country by storm literally and made a lot of new fans. This tour was an incredible success. It was EPIC.

    from ace showbiz…… let’s keep the buzz going by leaving some comments here

    Video: David Archuleta Singing on ‘TODAY’ Show
    December 22, 2009 08:14:42 GMT

    David Archuleta has stopped by NBC’s “TODAY” show on Monday, December 21 to take the stage for a live performance. The runner-up of “American Idol” season 7 sang a holiday tune called “Angels We Have Heard on High” for the morning show.

    Before grabbing the mic and belting out the Christmas carol, David had a chat with the show’s host Meredith Vieira. Talking about what he did to spend the holiday when he was a child, David said he used to go caroling with his family in neighborhoods and in nursing homes.

    David Archuleta has just finished his Christmas tour on December 20 in Westbury to support his first holiday album “Christmas From the Heart”. After completing the gig, he will be spending his time to finish his second pop studio album which is expected to be released next year.

  24. suttygal/joanieMN says:

    Good Morning everyone!
    It’s so nice to have the chance to get online early and come to my wonderful FOD home!!
    JENNY,
    I’m so glad you brought up the “Post concert withdrawal symptoms” and not me because it makes me feel like I’m not alone! GAHHH! Why is it so hard?? I saw a few comments last night that Ray had mentioned to some that David wouldn’t be touring until next fall again???? Whah??? I don’t think I can last that long. I hope the information was wrong :( . For the moment, I’m just sooo happy that David is at home with his family! You could tell so easily in his interview with KL & Hoda that he was so excited to get home to them. I pray he’ll have a fun relaxing week !!!

    Awesome news about the BillboardLive.com concert being “up” for a month with the word that it will be available as a cd in the future!!!! I just hope they don’t make us wait too long cause my big screen TV was squeeling with delight when i gave it the good news!! ;)

    AnneMarie/ Thanks for sharing your beautiful Westbury pics!! I’ve decided that next tour I want to be at David’s final show…wherever it is! I already sorta warned my hubby, too! lol
    Also thanks Elena for your great story and all of your updates, pics, etc. Sounds like you had the best birthday ever! …and Happy Belated B-Day!!

  25. suttygal/joanieMN says:

    *oops* I meant the BillboardLive concert will be available as a DVD!! Heaven! Wouldn’t want to forget the visuals along with those amazing vocals! ;)

  26. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    GG hello and good morning! #38 is fantastic!!!

    Hello FG, Pam and Naree!

    hmm Naree yes maybe later Justin TV?!

    Have on FOX & friends too to see if David is announced as a guest tomorrow!
    Hey the PRODUCER thought he was amazing!!! Really that is very good!!!!
    I think she may have said interview?
    Can’t wait as I think LKL is tomorrow night?

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

    #24 Sutty: Next fall?!!? :(

  39. JoyF says:

    I’ve never followed any singer’s career before, but I suppose one tour a year is probably the norm? David has spoiled us this first year.

  40. GGdoorsfan (“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. ) says:

    32/ good morning gloria :)

  41. Candy says:

    Morning Drive By! Cant wait for Regis & Kelly and Yes Jenny, I all too well know the “Post concert blues.” What makes it even harder is the possibility that David may not tour till fall and that was an early prediction overheard from Ray. That seems like forever from now!! Of course everyone wants David to be able to give us undivided attention to his next cd…thoughts of not seeing him perform live and getting together with Fod friends till then, well it is depressing! We will all survive but that doesnt mean we wont be missing the heck out of David and each other!

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

    Good Morning FG :D
    Supposedly they will carry over his vacation in Jan. I’ll believe that when I see it though…because he is the only one who know how to do this job :( Are you going to B able to watch R & K?

  43. Candy says:

    Gah, I just had a thought, if David doesnt tour till the fall, he will be almost 20 by then!! Talk about withdrawals!

  44. JoyF says:

    #34 kimk: Have my DVR set already for LKL. Funny..I don’t watch any of these shows except when David is on. ;)

  45. JoyF says:

    #43 Candy: Think about how much he’ll mature..both in body and mind. When meeting him, it will be like meeting him for the first time again. And I was just getting used to it..sort of. :lol:

  46. Gloria (GORIA by kimk) says:

    good morining guys….
    who else here when the WESTBURY concert????
    gosh he is soooo AWESOME <3
    the ray duet <3 the little JIG dance <3 hahaha that concert was sooo RANDOM <3

  47. Candy says:

    JoyF- I know fall…Ray was heard saying that fall would be the soonest he would tour again which is almost a year from now! The fact he wont have a song on the radio or tour till then sort of worries me…the old out of sight…out of mind syndrome comes to mind! :( Us die hard fans wont go anywhere, its the others that concern me! Thats a long time to be out of the public eye!

  48. FG says:

    Hey Pam – yep I’m gonna watch it WOOT!

    Gotta go – see ya later! Have a great day everyone!

  49. Gloria (GORIA by kimk) says:

    CANDY?? WHAT?????
    concert next year???
    oh THANK YOU THANK YOU….i was soo worry he wasnt gonna tour next year :o

  50. JoyF says:

    #47 Candy: It sure is. Seems like he’d be starting all over again. David has only had the one really big radio hit…Crush. Nearly 2 years will have gone by between Crush and the next song for radio? That’s a big void.

  51. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    hmm well my guess we will see David again just not touring until his CD comes out?
    …appearances will keep him in the public eye yet not keep him from recording his next CD
    like the charity event at the SuperBowl and Jordin Sparks!

    oh would I love to see him do something like Glee or ha even a small movie roll! eeek what a wonderful thought!

  52. GGdoorsfan (“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. ) says:

    39/ hi joy f – i know what you mean… been a lot of discussion round the boards about this… this is a compilation of what a few posters on idf had to say about the touring for next year, and i find myself agreeing…

    ”He needs a break. He’s been touring so much this year. He’s barely going to really start
    on the 2nd album so that should be the main focus”

    ”Putting off touring gives him the chance to focus only on his album! …. He needs the time to perfect and put out his best work. That requires a LOT of time. ”

    ”I didn’t expect him to start touring again until next fall anyway. I don’t want them to rush making his second album and get him out on tour again so soon.”

    the second pop cd is crucial, very crucial in the momentum of david’s career… imo, it’s creation, production, focus and release should take priority over everything else… david needs the time in the interim to really focus on this, and his label and mgmt team need to really be doing some great planning and strategizing to promo and market this one as effectively as possible… he’s been go, go, go since the finale, has had 3-4 tours that have been great, and now it’s time to really focus on making the absolute best pop cd he can… if waiting till fall to see him on tour again is the sacrifice made to ensure a stellar 2nd pop cd, one that helps secure his place as a singer and pop artist, i’m willing to endure and hold out till fall… just want him to be really focused and ready to deliver that killer cd :)

  53. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    David needs to keep somewhat in the public eye for the best return with his new CD I would think.
    Sure there will be many opportunities… ha he could even lend himself to a duet on someone’s upcoming CD… and maybe be on said video and even appear on stage with them….

    ha there I go again but heck I never thought he would be dancing and running into the audience as well..
    so go for it David!!!

  54. GGdoorsfan (“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. ) says:

    47/ good morning candyyyyyyy :)

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

    Suttygal
    If we are not going to see him until fall, it would be a good idea if JIVE would release a single this spring/summer before his album comes out, to keep his name out there. Their are very few Radio Stations that play his music to begin with :(

  56. Candy says:

    50/JoyF-I agree, I try to trust that Jive knows what they are doing…two years of no radio spins can be an eternity, especially for an up and coming artist. For Beyonce, its not a big deal but for a relatively new artist…thats a danged long time!

    Gloria, I wouldnt count on a fall tour, I will be surprised if it happens even then.

  57. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Also I would think we will have a single released before the CD?? Like Crush?

    Can’t wait and geesh what kind of CD will it be!!???

    Hey David IS ALMOST ON!!!!!!!!!!!!

  58. Gloria (GORIA by kimk) says:

    i cant wait 4 new music <3

  59. Gloria (GORIA by kimk) says:

    awww kimk DAVID in movies ekkkkk ME LIKE IT…

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

    Good Morning Candy & Joy :D

    IBB :D

    Need to go downstairs and watch him on the big projector screen :wink:

  61. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Just because he won’t be touring we will see him I would think. He is a pretty smart guy and knows he
    has to get out there once and a while.

    I hope he gets to work with some top notch folks in the recording field as well for his CD… to be successful?
    Nashville or LA I am thinking? gosh can you imagine how many concerts he will get to go too!!! wow!!

  62. GGdoorsfan (“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. ) says:

    57/ can’t say for certain, but i can see them possibly having a single ready for release before the cd releases… and there should be some effort on behalf of the label and his management team to secure appearances and promo that keeps his face and name in the public eye during this time… that’s my hope anyway… the importance of taking the right amount of time to craft this 2nd pop cd cannot be overstated… it will be highly scrutinized, even more so than the first, so it really must be produced and crafted well to give david a good relaunch back into the pop arena….

  63. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Gloria oh the Kathy Lee interview yesterday… man that kid is pure gold! sign him up!!!!

    IT IS ON!!!!!!!!!!!

  64. Gloria (GORIA by kimk) says:

    Jive should release a single in summer like they did with CRUSH <3
    i hope they release it on Z100 again :)

  65. JoyF says:

    #52 GG: I agree with everything you said..so why am I sitting here with tears rolling down my cheeks? :(

  66. Candy says:

    Morning GG-I dont want to sound greedy wanting a tour before fall, I am just concerned about such a long dry spell from the public eye. His sophomore album could very well be the make it or break it for his career, it is for many artists. With that in mind, I am willing to wait…but will other on the fence fans…

  67. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Gloria that seems about right! no pressure for David is good!

    I SAW HIM!!!!!!!

  68. Gloria (GORIA by kimk) says:

    ekkkkkkk DAVID DAVID….
    they just show david on regis & kelly

    Good morning everyone! I may not have another chance. I have a house full of family for Christmas. I just wanted to say MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU and may you have a very HAPPY NEW NEW YEAR!

    66/ hi candyyyyyyyyy – that’s where his mgmt team needs to step up and secure interim appearances and promo to keep his face and name out there… david has proven he is one heck of a dynamic performer this past year, and it will behoove them, and the label, to work their behinds off to keep his profile before the public… that is the key to keeping and holding the casual fans interest until the second cd is ready for release… my eye will be watching the promo and marketing efforts for him during that time…. the mgmt team and the label need to really step up their game in this area, and if they do, then i think he’ll meet with success up till release date… that’s my hope…

  74. Mary Jersey Girl {Happy Holidays To All Of My FOD Friends} says:

    Good morning!

    Kimk-I’m at work so I expect you to post a link as soon as possible!

    sorry odd moment

  79. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Mary urgh people are asking but not yet!

  80. Mary Jersey Girl {Happy Holidays To All Of My FOD Friends} says:

    GG- just at work thinking about all the stuff I could be doing for christmas if I wasnt here!! How are you??

  81. Gloria (GORIA by kimk) says:

    You know what would be really cool???
    If David Host regis & kelly 4 a day :)
    i mean Regis is on a break so david could go there to help kelly…
    hmmm that should be my xmas wish..

  82. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Holiday performance by David Archuleta!!!!!

    hmm hope for a pic with him and the Rockettes…. :) ))

  83. GGdoorsfan (“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. ) says:

    65/ [hugs] joy f….. it’s going to be an exercise in trust, and patience… this is when we as fans must hold firm, and tight in our support… it’ll be the fans doing and keeping a lot of positive energy flowing around him, and working diligently in the background supporting him until the time comes for the big cd release, and the eventual tour… we want as much of david as we can get, because he is so giving, and now it’s time for us to give him the time and space to really focus on this next crucial phase in his career… it’s a new experience for many of us, and we’ll get through it – we will :)

  84. JoyF says:

    Candy: Those fence sitters would probably not continue to follow David anyway. You either love him or you don’t. I find that true with everyone I meet. Some just don’t like his style of music, some don’t like his voice. Say what? I kid you not…I’ve actually had people say that to me. They’re usually the hard rock people who love all those screaming vocals.

    My son’s girlfriend told me the other day, that if I want to go see some Broadway type shows in downtown Seattle, she’d love to go with me. Seattle doesn’t scare her at all. :lol: I enjoyed the Elvis show the other night so much and really need to get out and do things like that more often. I love live performances of any kind if they’re good. Must keep myself occupied until I can see David again. ;)

  85. GGdoorsfan (“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. ) says:

    81/ hi mary – feeling good, and waiting to see what the cp has in store for us on regis and kelly… got a little shopping and housework to do today in prep for christmas, so i’m doing pretty good :)

  86. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Gloria ha djbell has amazing vids from Westbury! #37 can take you to her vids.. ZG is fabs….all of them are!

  87. GGdoorsfan (“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. ) says:

    hi maryanne and gloria :)

  88. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    LOVE

    DAVID ARCHULETA

    SO BOLD!!!

    GO DAVID!!!!

  89. Candy says:

    74/Thanks GG! You always make me feel better! :)

  90. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    hmm my guess he will be on last…..

    save the best for last!!!!
    thought I might fall asleep with the Today show yesterday…..

  91. Mary Jersey Girl {Happy Holidays To All Of My FOD Friends} says:

    Candy- you out of that driveway yet????

  92. Candy says:

    Morning MJG-You need to send those lawyers on a loggggggg vacation out of the country!

  93. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Wonder if Keith Urban is in the back talking to David…
    oh if David appears with him…
    I AM going…
    hehe he was here in Raleigh recently and hub said no… silly hub…..

  94. Candy says:

    92/MJG-Yes, I have been freed from my snowcave!! Will head out to the mall a little later, have a lot to catch up on! Danged Mother Nature!!

  95. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    well I guess not
    hmm Australia…
    David going there? ha who is in!!!!!??????
    my son went there and didn’t want to leave! he loved it!

  96. JoyF says:

    #91 kimk: It was great being on the west coast and knowing exactly what time David was going to be on the Today show. I only needed to take up that tiny little space of memory on my DVR instead of the entire 3 hours. Should be able to do that with Regis and LKL too. Not so sure about the Fox & Friends thing because of the time it’s on.

  97. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    lol her hub is a hoot………

  98. Mary Jersey Girl {Happy Holidays To All Of My FOD Friends} says:

    Candy- I agree with you, I need a break from them…One is heading to Park City Utah to go skiing…again! I was thinking about hiding in her carryon and going to visit Joanie!!! I wish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  99. JoyF says:

    #94 kimk: Keith Urban is on Regis today too? I ♥ ♥ ♥ Keith’s music. Oh…Nicole is on the show, isn’t she? Guess Keith might be there with her.

  100. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    oh dear Nicole better way to handle that….

    watch David….

  101. Candy says:

    Aww MJG-Joanie is a wonderful hostess…she would love to have you visit. She showed us the best time when we were in SLC. I saw every David sight there was in Murray thanks to Joanie. It was a trip I will never, ever forget! Cant wait to go back!

  102. JoyF says:

    #101 kimk: Need better explanation kimk..please? What’s going on?

  103. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Joyf nope he is in Australia was just dreaming…
    good show so far so watch the whole thing if you can….

  104. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Joyf if I tell you it will ruin the show..

  105. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    one hint icey and Nicole…

  106. Gloria (GORIA by kimk) says:

    oh nicole K….

  107. GGdoorsfan (“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. ) says:

    90/ hi candyyyyyyyyyy – just trying to be as clear headed and realistic about it as i can, hahah… it’s going to be something new, yet familiar to us, this 2nd cd launch…. this time around we have some inkling what to expect… it’s a matter of david setting the stage during this time to deliver a cd that will further secure and anchor him in the industry, which in turn should open up more opportunities for things like tours and appearances… it’s a waiting game for us as fans, and we must continue to stay focused and keep our eyes on the prize, the big picture… and hope the label and his mgmt team does as well :)

  108. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Joyf I think I read that Fox and friends will be on 3 am to 6 am Pacific time? I get up at 5 am so will be able to see when he is on. sure there will be vids as well!!

  109. GGdoorsfan (“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. ) says:

    daviddddddddddd – bring on davidddddddd :)

  110. JoyF says:

    #108 GG: You think he’s going to stay with Jive? That will be a BIG decision that David’s going to have to make this year, isn’t it?

  111. Candy says:

    108/GG- Thats my hope too :)

  112. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    GG gosh most thing for me is what darn old direction will he go in or will it be a CD of different kind of songs? hmm very excited and my guess they will be behind him as this Christmas CD and tour and such seems to be quite successful? at least I hope!!!

  113. Mary Jersey Girl {Happy Holidays To All Of My FOD Friends} says:

    Ughhhh, I wanna watch!!!!!! :( :( :(

  114. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    David put away the sharpies and enjoy!

  115. JoyF says:

    #108 GG: I can’t help but wish that David would have turned more toward the Adult Contemporary genre with this coming CD though. Pop is so hard to keep on top of..it keeps changing.

  116. Gloria (GORIA by kimk) says:

    ohhhh cool dancers….

  117. Candy says:

    111/JoyF- hat will be one huge decision on David and Jives part…one that will be a crucial factor in what the future holds for David!

  118. GGdoorsfan (“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. ) says:

    111/ i really don’t know joy f – a lot depends i guess on how well this 2nd cd goes, and if he feels they are best serving his needs… there are no perfect record labels, all are struggling now to stay afloat, so i’d give it a 50/50, either way…

  119. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    I can do that….
    ha not! dang them are mighty long legs!!!!!

  120. GGdoorsfan (“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. ) says:

    116/ it does, and if he’s lucky, perhaps the new single will have some crossover to other charts… pop is where you get the highest visibility, and the most spins, so they would be remiss if they didn’t target his songs on that format… we’ll have to see what songs are created, how they sound before i’d hazard a better guess where they’d best fit…

  121. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    bwahaha!!!!!
    AMERICAN IDOL STAR DAVID ARCHULETA

    GOT THAT RIGHT!!!!!!
    but heck star on his own as well but dang didn’t say runner up!!!! sweeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!

  122. GGdoorsfan (“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. ) says:

    122/ he’s coming up kimk – get your squeeeeeeeeeeeees ready!! :)

  123. Mary Jersey Girl {Happy Holidays To All Of My FOD Friends} says:

    kimk-hahaha, you crack me up! Since I’m not watching and just reading your comments if I wasnt from the NY/NJ area I would have no clue what you were talking about! hahaha!

  124. Gloria (GORIA by kimk) says:

    chant….DAVID DAVID DAVID

  125. Candy says:

    We all just want the best for David, I think after the success of the Christmas cd and the tour, Jive hopefully will rethink/restructure plans for Davids future. He sells out just about every show he does, and the Christmas cd sold well. Im hoping it gets close to their projected goal.

  126. Stephanie & Danielle (SO excited 4 BALTIMORE!!! & Westbury!!) says:

    Hey Everybody,
    Back from our truly amazing NY trip, getting ready for work & waiting to see David on Regis & Kelly but wanted to say a quick hello! In our hearts didn’t think anything could top seeing David in our hometown of Baltimore, but Westbury was really special as was being at the Today Show for David!

  127. Mary Jersey Girl {Happy Holidays To All Of My FOD Friends} says:

    Candy- I bought the Christmas CD for everyone in my family and my friends, it was alittle extra present to top off the gifts. They all think I’m nuts already!

  128. Gloria (GORIA by kimk) says:

    i REALLY REALLY LIKE KELLY :)

  129. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Candy hmm I like what they are doing right now so going forward seems that they may be on the David bandwagon finally and ha David sure is raising the bar with such wonderful performances!! can’t wait!!

  130. Candy says:

    STEPHANIEEEEEE, Saw you, Danielle and Barb on national TV. You guys are fans to the enth degree. SO happy you got to go to NY and the Today show! Loved the shot of you in the front holding Davids cd.

  131. GGdoorsfan (“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. ) says:

    127/ [hugs] and smooches to you stephanie and danielle! thank you for pulling together the wonderful get together after the show last week in baltimore… i enjoyed meeting you, and your daughters, and am so glad you are on our team :) saw you outside the today show studio yesterday w/the signs – you guys are awesome, and it’s this kind of support and committment that we all will need to exhibit in 2010 for david!

  137. Stephanie & Danielle (SO excited 4 BALTIMORE!!! & Westbury!!) says:

  138. Gloria (GORIA by kimk) says:

    AWWWW DAVID <3
    i WANTED HIM TO PAP but awwwwww yaya melodies of xmas <3

  139. Candy says:

    GG-I agree-our support over the coming months will be more crucial then ever. Fans true colors will come to the surface during this time, will they be willing to step up to the plate and vote vote vote and promote David, NOT for what they get out of it but to support David!! For me…thats a no brainer!

  140. Stephanie & Danielle (SO excited 4 BALTIMORE!!! & Westbury!!) says:

    #137 – Oh gosh, well hope lots of people tuned in and know if they didn’t already that David has adoring fans who think he’s the best!! :)

  141. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    wow!!!!!!!

  146. GGdoorsfan (“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. ) says:

    he was freaking awesome – and loved kelly’s pimping of the cd – wooooooo hoooooooo!!!!!!

    way 2 go david – that was greattttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!

  147. Candy says:

    Grest performance…a little nervous in the beginning…and wow he handles those interviews like a pro!

  148. Stephanie & Danielle (SO excited 4 BALTIMORE!!! & Westbury!!) says:

    David was absolutely amazing, as he always is!! Knowing how little sleep he had that night before too, he is just incredible! Hope he sells lots more cd’s from that appearance in these last days before Christmas!

  149. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    lol!!!!!! did you guys see that pic!!!!!!????

    ha well I LOVED the way they stressed he wrote the song!!!!!
    he did a great job as well and moved and rocked it!!!

    ha no signs of nervousness as well and looked fabulous!!!!!!!

  150. Mary Jersey Girl {Happy Holidays To All Of My FOD Friends} says:

    kimk-ok, times up! Get me video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  151. GGdoorsfan (“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. ) says:

    woooo hoooo, he looked so nice – and sang moc so well – he needs to be on tv all the time….

    are you listening management team, hahahah – get and keep david on television!! :)

  152. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Candy well for me that song is not my fav and my guess they picked it for him writing it? but all in all I think he did wonderful!

  153. Stephanie & Danielle (SO excited 4 BALTIMORE!!! & Westbury!!) says:

    #144 – Gloria, it was so good to see you!! David was truly amazing, wasn’t he!

    I forgot that lots of areas see Regis & Kelly at 9am, doesn’t come on here until 10:00am, still waiting!

  154. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    GG yes dang I agree!! and my guess he does yet another song on LKL!!!!! dang he looked so old… almost his age!! last time on Regis it was bleh but this time was so much better! loved that he moved around as he DID NOT on Kaleidoscope… there he sounded great but froze or maybe he was just concentrating? ha who cares the boy is getting so much better! squeeeeee!!!

  155. Candy says:

    153/kimk-same here, MOC is not one of my favs, but he sold it as usual.

  156. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Mary no one put up a live stream!
    kept looking! they will have it up! he looked hunky and handsome and he sang very nicely…
    ha no vid for you!!
    oh sure they will have it up in a few secs!!

  157. angelbymyside says:

    Good morning everyone!

    David was fantastic on Regis and Kelly! Love MOC! And what’s this about telling family not to get him birthday presents?? Oh David you are the best!! Truly you are!!

    Gotta run but bbs!

  158. Stephanie & Danielle (SO excited 4 BALTIMORE!!! & Westbury!!) says:

    Have a great day everyone, want to be all ready so I can watch David at R & K and then head out the door to work, by your comments looks like he should come on here about 9:40? (since it’s delayed an hour here)

  159. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Candy a lot of folks were going huh on the choice and yes me too but because they kept mentioning
    that he wrote it my guess that is why they chose it… ha for me AVE MARIA or HYAMLC or heaven forbid RIU RIU CHIU… but then it is a morning show…. too much that early….. but dang!

  160. ta says:

    good morning everyone,

    wooohooo! got back from the cruise, right on time for David on Regis & Kelly. He was great & good interview too. I think he looked taller & older than last December, hehe.

    I missed you guys & FOD so much. Couldn’t wait to get back & catch up on everything David.!!

    When I was on the cruise, I kept thinking about David & his appearances that I missed. Boooo!

  161. GGdoorsfan (“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. ) says:

    158/ hi abms – he has a ton to go through from the fans, hahaha… there may be no room in his home for anything else, lololol

  162. GGdoorsfan (“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. ) says:

    161/ welcome back ta!! hope you had a great trip, and enjoyed every minute of it :)

  163. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    ta DIDN’T HE!!!??? wowza!!
    welcome back and hope you gained 10 lbs and had tooooooo much fun!!!!

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

    http://twitpic.com/unbv4
    Twitpic of David on R & K

  165. GGdoorsfan (“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. ) says:

    160/ i think it’s good to mix up the song selections… give some of the lesser known or fan favorited songs some airtime… david is going to sing them all well, so that’s no problem – fingers crossed for another stellar performance on lkl :)

  166. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Stephanie he did amazing! seems he is past the kid stage and the only thing now is up up up!!!
    gosh did you know he did an interview later in the studio? almost past out when I saw him just pop up on TV!

  167. Mary Jersey Girl {Happy Holidays To All Of My FOD Friends} says:

    Ugh, office is filling up quickly! BBL! :( :(

  168. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    GG hmm that is right we have the FOX one and LKL…. YES YES I agree with mixing it up and well it sure seems the opposite to what he did yesterday!
    ha did you notice he is fist pumping lately and well when he made the remark about Ray being older and then going in front of Ray like he was the star…. lol dang that young man will be the death of me!!!
    LOVE A SPUNKY DAVID!!!!

  169. ta says:

    163, thanks GG, Kimk, yes, I had a great a lot of fun, ate a lot of food & saw a lot of nice shows. Climb up & down (900 feet) the Dunn River Falls in Jamaica, went to Hell (Hell city) in Cayman Island. The weather was excellent.

    I think MOC is a good choice. It shows his talent that he wrote it & it is different from the traditional CM songs.

  170. Candy says:

    169/kimk-I do too, I love feisty, spunky David. Glad to see him assert himself once in a while. Let his hair down, just have fun!

  171. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    GG by the way the way he has been dressing lately for these appearances are FANTASTIC!
    absolutely perfect… not too much … not dressed down either… oh and he looks great as well!
    man he seems like all the little ducks are lining up in a row!!

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

    Even, if David did a duet with someone who is popular & has a good sized fanbase, that would be a good move to get his name out there, while he is working on his album! I feel he needs his music on the radio, how’s he gonna get new fans when his music is barely played on the radio? Only one RS in my area added his Christmas song, but I have never heard it played on the radio… I also have chedked their playlist of song’s played and I don’t see it on the list… I don’t get it :( Don’t people appreciate good music anymore? I’m frustrated….

    g2g ^bye^

  173. Patty-Ann says:

    At work and stopping by to say a quick hello. Stephanie & Danielle – you both are such troopers – I saw you on TV at the Today Show as I woke up — and there you were after that long trek home! haha

    Can’t wait for a video of Regis & Kelly — will have to wait till tonight to see it though since I’m working. Gosh, I’ve gotten no sleep these past few days.

    The Westbury show was fabulous – all of David’s antics and GG — I agree — David needs to be on TV!

  174. EL says:

    if he gets any dang cuter I’m going to die (was watching Archu-dancing from Westbury)

  175. GGdoorsfan (“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. ) says:

    hi patty-ann and el – how are ya’ll today!

  176. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Candy gosh just by the Westbury show we could have a full CD of things he asserted himself…
    the diva hatflip…. the hoedown dance….him going into the audience even in ZG!!! ha the girls went nuts!!
    about dang time he let himself go some…. just hope he doesn’t hermit himself too much and stay up on the performance side of things as it seems the more he does it the better he does?
    hey hope he gets himself to Nashville again…seems like a great place to be for the music world! I think I heard somewhere he might be visiting there more for recording? hope so! bet we will hear from him!
    hey guys would love to think of something great to do for his birthday as well? maybe in his name a charity or hmm don’t know?

  177. ta says:

    169 kimk, I think David has talents & characters in him always. He just needs to believe that & show them off more to keep up with others.

    I notice that David thinks that other people are talented.
    David, what about yourself?? Something to think about?? hehe…….

  178. Candy says:

    177/kimk-Is Joy Williams In Nashville, he is writing with her in February(??) I forget where she lives. And Im with you on the birthday charity thing, there isnt much time but I bet we could rally and do something!

  179. ta says:

    just change the subject a little bit. talk about young teenage boy, did you see Kelly’ oldest son took her hand out of his arm when they went shopping together. He looked upset.
    Think about David, hehe.

  180. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    EL gosh the Westbury show was kind of a turning point in a way? now Baltimore was outstanding and had to pick my jaw off the floor by his superb stage presence not to mention his vocals but the fact he let himself go in Westbury well just outstanding! maybe he finally realizes there is no reason to hold back or he felt comfortable with the wonderful crew he had? whatever it is I hope they keep the same group for the next tour and also I hope Ray goes to all his appearances as he seems great for David!

    Morning GG, Candy, ta, Patty-Ann, Pam05, Kimk…anyone else I missed. I’m feeling a little down about the end of the tour but I know that David will always stay in touch with his fans and there will certainly be appearances here and there…but I’m seriously thinking I need to take up skiing. In Utah. Murray Utah. I wonder if David skis? Can you imagine that? David skiing downhill with like a hundred snow bunnies following closely behind? LOL

    ta ha young boys not cool to have Mom fussing with them… my own son here is a hoot with that…
    ha fly birdie fly and spread those wings.

    my guess David will be spreading his wings soon and soaring high…

    now the only two shows we know he will be at are not really doable for us as it is crazy to try to be anywhere near the Superbowl and Miami geesh
    and the SunBowl they are doing it as a tweener event and well being 18 not happening… :) ))

    GG they should give David his own dang TV show!!!

    it’s always a good time to request on radio disney!
    =================================================

    http://radio.disney.go.com/speak/request.html

    1. click on the ‘new song’ tab in the ”request a song” pop up box

    2. click on the ”can’t find my song/artist” link [1st one underneath ‘artist’ in the ‘request a song’ pop up box]…

    3. fill out the boxes that populate at the bottom of the request textbox with the required info…, and submit…

    Please request— ”joy to the world”- ”have yourself a merry little christmas”, and ”melodies of christmas”

  187. Patty-Ann says:

    The venue in Westbury was like a half semi-circle — it was really neat — even David said he liked the way it looked – David always feels best in an intimate setting — hmmm maybe that could have something to do with why he was able TO “LET GO” perhaps?? Boy, I loved it…how he rolled with the punches, and even that so-called DIVA move where he stepped in front of Ray – David is still polite in how he does it — sort of like tapping Ray on the shoulder as if to say “Uh, excuse me but THIS IS my show!” haha

  188. ta says:

    hi, EL, I feel down too, when I came back from the trip to find out that his tour was over. Thanks to FOD & everyone who took pictures & vids & updates for me to catch up.

    EL, you should tweet David to go skiing. You might see him, hehe.

  189. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    EL david skiing? umm not seeing that but tubing yep and eating….hope he gets out a lot and hey I hope he takes a few friends and goes to the Bahamas and kicks back and enjoys! he sure deserves it!!

  193. Candy says:

    183/ Hi EL-ROTF -Oh the visions of David being chased by hundreds of snow bunnies is too funny! Murray Utah has some gorgeous ski areas, Joanie took us to SnowBird, the scenery and the glorious clean pine smell took my breath away!

  194. Candy says:

    Hmmmm Didnt David say if there was one place he would like to live, other then Utah, it would be Nashville…was that a hint …is he becoming like Richard with the clues?

  195. ta says:

    188 patty-ann, I also love how he finished his last sentence of Feliz Navidad. He was fierce!!! hehe, is it the right word?

  196. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    ta ha my guess we will have some kind of appearance pop up we can all go to before the next CD stuff!
    kaleidoscope popped up out of no where and plan to if another one I can do will be there as well!
    oh hope he does a live chat with singing as well!!!
    now that is greedy!
    Sorry David enjoy as you have left us with a lot of vids for at least a great time off!! ha I say that now!

    by the way guys David’s Chrsitmas cd was pretty successful so you never know folks might be
    wanting him to sing for them… it seems it is these shows wanting you not the other way around and now that David has raised the bar it would seem a lot of offers will be coming in… great for us even if there is no tour!

  197. EL says:

    kimk ~ Westbury was so epic! I got such a tickle out of all his antics and those of the crew. Funny and delightful stuff. I love to see David get comfortable up there on stage. He loves it up there and he belongs up there…about time he owned his place on that stage. Wait a minute, that reminds me of a song… “I’ll find my way
    up onto the stage and take my place, I know where I belong…”

  198. Candy says:

    Saw this on twitter..OMG I forgot all about this:
    @FODFansofDavid Still hoping to get him to MN, Mall of America does a TON of book signings. :) Sarah Palin (like her or not) was just here.

    When is the book due to come out..May?? Woot lets hope for book signings across America!

  199. Patty-Ann says:

    TA – YES, right word – David is FIERCE! haha

  200. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Candy seems that would be a great place for him to be and live… if he is serious about his music and he sure seems that way! family is great but he is 19 soon and well funny me saying this but hope he starts his own family life… ok not really getting married but the whole adult life makes sense…
    funny thinking of David as an adult but he sure seems to be going in that direction… growing up right in front of our eyes and so fantastically as well!!!

  201. Patty-Ann says:

    El – love that song — even when he was younger – I think he knew he belonged up on stage!! I wish he would sing that NOW!

    I would love to see David do some Barnes & Nobles book signings here in New York.

  202. Patty-Ann says:

    I’d like to see him move somewhere like Nasville too! Muscians, songwriters, more of a community feel than LA or NY.

  203. ta says:

    195 Candy, it’s very possible that David will move to Nashville, because he likes to write music. He can be in the environment of music.
    Also the weather is not bad at all. I know a lot of people moved from north because it was too cold, lived in Florida for a few year & were not happy because it was too hot, then moved back halfway to Tennessee & love it.

  204. Patty-Ann says:

    Hahahaha — maybe we should all move to Nashville if David does!

  205. Patty-Ann says:

    I hope a video pops up of David’s performance on Regis & Kelly soon. I can watch it at work with NO SOUND — but we all know watching David WITHOUT SOUND is awesome, right?

  206. Candy says:

    201/Kimk-I know what you mean, he is 19 in a few days and to survive in the music business, living full time in Murray would be counterproductive. LA, Nashville are NY are where he would need to be a least part of the year. I dont see him ever making a permanent move from his hometown, staying for extended periods in other places could be what works best.

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

    Good Morning Angels♥ Well, how proud are we of this beautiful young man today?!! As for me, I couldn’t be more proud…I keep saying that but it’s so true! He continues to amaze me every day that I live! To be his fan makes me one of the luckiest people on earth….and I know you all feel the same way…another unbelievable year that David has brought us…2010… brace yourself for David Archuleta!!

  208. Patty-Ann says:

    Is the FOX family & friends thing on tomorrow morning? Anyone know?

  209. Candy says:

    ta & Patty-Ann-Ha, I can see us all buying property in Nashville, it is a happening town, so many writers and producers at your finger tips. David loved it there!

  210. ta says:

    203 patty-ann, I agree, also Nashville or Tennessee people are more…ah…what’s the word??, low key or humble, which David might feel more comfortable to be there than Hollywood.
    Who knows? David might sing Country songs someday. He can sing anything!!!! First of all, he needs to learn line dancing, hehe.

  211. Candy says:

    208/Good Morning Marylee- I think we are all in that same Blessed Fan Bucket! What a year this has been and we have so much more goodness to look forward to! Just think, he will be well on his way to being 20 when we see him on tour again! Lord help us all!!

  212. Angelgal3 says:

    Hi all! Dang,I missed him on Regis and Kelly this morning! I got caught up in wrapping presents,etc. I hope there will be a video of it on their site or you tube soon. I’m still having withdrawals from my show on Saturday even though I have my CFTH album. There’sa just something about his live performances that take it to a whole different level.

  213. Nancy says:

    yes Patty

  214. ♫ HAPPY BIRTHDAY REINE!! ♫

  215. angelbymyside says:

    Good morning again :D

    Just got back from the post office. Why do I always wait until the last minute to send Christmas packages? I think David may have had something to do with me getting so behind on Christmas shopping, etc. this year. lol

    I can’t wait for Larry King Live show tomorrow and then we also have Fox and Friends. I am debating on whether to get up at 6:00 am tomorrow since that is the time Fox and Friends begins. They always put David on at the end of the show. They know how to keep the viewers tuned in!!

  216. Candy says:

    Well time to get ready to head out and join the crazed shoppers. Have a great day everyone. BBL

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

    212/Candy….it’s just amazing, isn’t it?! He was 16 going on 17 when he auditioned for Idol! We’ve sure watched him literally transform into a SHINING STAR right in front of our eyes…can’t get over it…still blows my mind! :shock:

  218. Good morning everyone! Rgis and Kelley is just starting here in Utah! So far….no David. Come on Come on Come on…bring David out!

  219. ta says:

    Candy, ha, if David moves to Nashville, I will buy a property around there, hehe. I’ve been thinking about it.

  220. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Hey guys I would love to go to Nashville even if David wasn’t there… great place from what I hear and a great community as well! David loved it and even Richard was thinking of moving there for the business.
    Utah is beautiful but not the place to be if you are in the music business…
    David for his CD needs to be accessible to name, respectable producers and such I would think?
    ha my hub is always saying that the recording/studio folks are just as important as the musicians themselves as they can make or break a CD… sound is so dang important and hope Jive gets him top notch folks!!
    gosh hope he gets to work with some of the folks who produce the likes of John Mayer, Jason Mraz, well in other words Jive arranges it for him and most of all David lets himself go in studio and gives the same performance he does on stage! ha we would all die just die!!!!

  221. grannycrush says:

    David was just perfect on Regis and Kelly. He looked so handsome, too. I am really loving how comfortable he seems in interviews now.

    This is a random story, but years ago I was the chaperone for a Theatre Holiday trip to New York. One of our free lunches was at Tavern on the Green. All of the ladies (around 60 of them) were so excited. Everyone was oohing and ahhing about the decor and the ambience. We were all seated and all at once one of the ladies squealed. She was facing the window, so of course we all looked out the window and right outside the window was a whole family of huge rats scurrying around. 60 women can make a lot of noise when they see a mouse so you can imagine the clamor when they saw a bunch of huge rats. Most of the staff came over to see what the problem was. They acted like they thought we were nuts. Must be a New York thing. I explained we were all from the midwest and most of us had only seen domestic rats, not the real thing. They closed the curtain which I don’t think was suppose to be closed, and we went on with our lunch. Some of us didn’t have much of an appetite. Whenever I hear anything about Tavern on the Green, I think of rats.

  222. Oh NO!! Candy…are our ships passing in the night again?? :sad:

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

    216/ABMS…went to the UPS Store yesterday and was kicking myself for waiting til the last minute! This is not like me…I told Kim that my priorities have been elsewhere…could it have been the Baltimore trip…couldn’t think of anything else…haha!

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

    221/Kimk…I agree 100% …would love to see David move to Nashville and surround himself with all those talented songwriters…put his own talents to work in such a creative atmosphere! I’m so excited to see what David has in store for us next year…I get goosebumps thinking of what I don’t even know yet!!! :wink:

  225. angelbymyside says:

    Marylee/224 ~ Hello! I know my priorities have been elsewhere this year what with attending the Baltimore and Stroudsburg concerts. It seems like all of a sudden everything just caught up to me. I just can’t believe Christmas is in three days.

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

    226/ABMS…I’m in the same boat! I have to cook Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve…do you know how close that is!!! Dang…my mind has REALLY been elsewhere this year..haha! But none of us would have missed it for the world, right?!

  227. CM(Yakima) says:

    Good morning FOD!! And Merry al,ost Christmas! This might be a little long, because I have been trying to explain to myself what is or has happened to me! And I think all of you here will understand, I hope! Something has shifted in me about my feelings for David, well not for him, but about him! It happened Sunday night after the cell cast and seeing the videos of his last Christmas show! I have spent the last almost 2 years in almost constant prayer and butterflies in my stomach in anticipation of all things David! For the Lord to bless him, keep him well, that he gets the proper rest, etc,. etc!! I wake up every morning with a David song in my head! That his CD would sell well, that he would get the recognition he deserves and on and on and on!! I don’t know, call it mother worry or fan angst or ??? But after seeing him work the stage as if he had been there his whole life, knowing how comfortable he was up there and his level of growth through this past year, I know how happy he is with the way it has worked out for him! I suddenly have this peace and quietude about my feelings for him! My love for him will never go away, no matter where his path in life takes him, and I will continue to do all the David duties we as fans share and take all of GGs orders gratefully, because she keeps us on our toes! But, there is this new peace, maybe less worry (well I will always worry about his safety and health!) I guess I still don’t quite have the words, I just know there is a change in my soul about David! He is heading toward the next level in his career and his life! And we as his fans must evolve with him and embrace any changes that come into his career! OK! I’m just babbling now! Still can’t put it into precise words! I hope someone here can help me understand this!!

  228. angelbymyside says:

    Joanie ~ Hello! You have to wait awhile to see David on Regis and Kelly. I think he comes on around the the 40 minute mark of the show.

  229. angelbymyside says:

    Marylee ~ No I would not have changed one thing this Christmas season. David made it all the more merrier. :D

  230. angelbymyside says:

    Candy ~ Sorry I missed you. I guess you got your driveway dug out. Good luck with those shoppers. The malls will be gridlock the next few days.

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

    228/CM…well, you went & did it!!! I just knew I would cry before noon today!! I love what you wrote…I know exactly what you mean about the worrying and the praying…I think we can all relax just a little bit in that department and for all the reasons you so eloquently mentioned! Thanks for posting those thoughts today…it helped me tremendously! :smile:

  232. abms: How are you this mornig? Oh….thanks for telling me when David comes on. I need to keep ths on “mute” til I see him come on.

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

    228/CM…”quietude”…I feel it too! :smile:

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

    233/Joanie…you’re in for a treat!

    Gotta’ run for now…gifts to wrap, candy to make, house to clean, Christmas dinner to ponder…(what can I do in advance)…shopping? (hope most of that is behind me)…YIKES!!! Bye for now :smile:

  235. ta says:

    oh hi Joanie, Marylee, Nancy, anglegal3, grannycrush, agbms, CM & everyone
    215 joanie, it’s reine’s BD? Happy Birthday Reine!!

    233 joanie, I turned my TV off right after David finished, hehe.

    CM 228, thanks for writing that. I feel the same. I feel more calm & talk to myself that David will be OK. I’ll be his fan forever!!

    I have to go & check out everything David that I have missed. Wooohooooo! it’s going to be fun. Can’t wait!!
    Nice talking to everyone. Bye for now!

  236. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    CM oh dear babble all you want…….

    Angel hello!

    ha yes just made the cutoff at ups….
    we all have been so nicely pre-occupied and wouldn’t change a thing!!

    MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

    Marylee oh it is in two days and umm David has TWO performances tomorrow!! :) ))))
    get thee self to the store and umm buy premade….. ha Merry Christmas!!!!

  237. angelbymyside says:

    Joanie ~ David sang great this morning! He was so cute in his interview afterwards.

  238. brenda says:

    Crush is playing on the radio right now and they played Angels We Have Heard on High about an hour ago. Must be a david morning here in Wisconsin :)

  239. angelbymyside says:

    kimk ~ Hello! I think I may become spoiled this week with all of David’s TV performances. I can’t wait to see him on Larry King tomorrow night. I think Larry is a fanboy. lol

  240. JoyF says:

    CM: What a wonderful heart-felt post! With everyone talking about David moving to Nashville, it reminds me so much of how I felt the day my oldest son moved out of our home. I’m kind of feeling the same about David today. We’ve fretted over him, defended him when he was attacked unjustly, cried for him when we knew that he had to be hurting although he never once showed it, laughed at his wonderful tweets, adored him when he was just plain cute. Some of us even hugged him when meeting him.

    Although our job as fans is never-ending, I think that perhaps our role as the surrogate parent is. The next time we see David in person, he will be nearly 20yo…truly a man. I am already nervous about that next meeting. He won’t be a boy anymore..not even a teen. I just don’t think I’ll be asking a 20yo David for hug.

  241. ta: YES! It is Reine’s birthday! Hope she stops by to receive our birthday wishes!
    Ha…I am keeping my eye on a muted program til David comes on andwill turn it off IMMEDIATELY afterward! :wink:

    Merry Christmas kimk (and everyone else)!!! :grin:

  242. abms…oh! hey interview him afterwards! So, I’d better not turn it off riht away! Yay! They just announced he will be on after the commercial! :grin:

  243. angelbymyside says:

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY REINE :D

  244. ta says:

    209 Patty-ann, I got this from SA about Fox & Family.

    what did i ever do before twitter?
    musefi went on to tweet @catheekay it’ll air on wednesday’s show
    what is this show, does anybody know? i do not.

    edit: Fox and Friends is on the Fox News network and is on from 3am-6am PT, so it’s probably on at 6am-9am ET. check your Fox Cable News station for channel and times.

  245. angelbymyside says:

    BBL :D

  246. ta says:

    243 joanie, what?, what? interview afterwords? boooo! I missed it!!!

  252. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    Joyf lol had me chuckling there… yes a nearly 20 year old David… quite a force one would think…
    gosh have no idea of ever asking him for a hug but maybe enough nerve to say hi would be nice…
    hmm never thought of it before… yes things sure would change if he really does go all older hunky wouldn’t it.
    ha well we can just park ourselves in front of the line and enjoy the squeee…

  253. ta says:

    hi pam05, is there anyway to tell ET entertainment, celebrity’s birthday about David’s birthday? So David can be on ET.

    hi joyF, DFT,
    hi naree, thanks for the vid.
    DFT, are you going to see David at Sun Bowl? Is it very far from where you live?

  256. ta says:

    252 JoyF, may be you should copy them to the DVD.

    Hi Pam05!
    Hi Naree!

    MJs has it over there too, go add comments!

  259. JoyF says:

    #254 kimk: Took me awhile to figure out what was behind my cryin’ eyes this morning. Having watched 2 of my sons grow from boys to men and the last one turning 20 this coming June, kind of made me realize what was going on. I’ve hugged David twice..felt it was ok because he was youngster in my mind. Won’t be able to think of him that way anymore. (sniff)

    Naree: Thanks for the video. So, I only have to record Regis for the last 10 minutes.

    ha lol the line of folks with sore feet…. :) )
    hey all will be fine and this is just the next stage… ha for me bring it on David!!
    I guess I never saw David as a son of sorts but just a wonderfully talented and nice young man?
    he is so different then my boys so no comparison I guess.

  275. burkey says:

    just a drive by but I just love this………..from IDOL CHATTER

    “Here are a couple of thoughts about Archuleta and his recent CD “Christmas From The Heart” …

    - No other AI participant, over the past couple of years anyway, is really capable of doing a Christmas CD that would be half as good as Archie’s and 90 percent of them shouldn’t even try.

    - After listening to it more than once Idol Chatter must admit one thing – it is one of the best Christmas records out there. I’d even go so far as to say it’s one of the best, ever…”

    hmm hey have the best holiday David!!!!!
    me I am here wrapping a sea of things…
    official wrapper in the house reporting for duty!!!
    by the way did not get to talk enough to everyone at Baltimore and think we need more then one night
    when we all go see David!!

  279. David From Texas says:

    Thanks Ta!
    Hello Burkey! It was great meeting you and your wonderful daughter, Kristin! Glad you made it home safely! ((hugs))

  280. David From Texas says:

    Kimk: I would think so also. haha! Very popular! Thanks! I am finished Christmas shopping! CFTH for all! I agree on the Baltimore concert! It was soooo great meeting you and everyone! Everyone is awesomeage! We have so much to talk about!
    Have a great day, Burkey! :D

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

    ta
    I sent a tweet to @ETNOW and let them know about David’s birthday and CFTH CD, so will see if they mention if or not.

  282. ta says:

    pam05, woohoo! you’re the best! Thanks.

  283. ta says:

    oh pam05, what is the pic of your avi, are they David’s hands?

  284. ta says:

    278 burkey, that’s a nice find. I’m glad someone got David. Now the readers need to go buy DA’s cds.

  285. JoyF says:

    Argh..guess I’m not going to be able to record David on my DVR after all. There’s a local breaking news press conference regarding the shooting of those 2 police officers yesterday. That makes 6 in the past few weeks in Pierce County. (Tacoma) Just read that crime is down in most cities expect in Seattle, where it’s rising. Unemployment around here is making a mark for sure.

  286. David From Texas says:

    yikes, JoyF! that is terrible.

  287. JoyF says:

    #289 DFT: The Seattle/Tacoma area can be pretty extreme at times. Remember the riots a few years back during the WTO thing? That was pretty scary. It’s why I don’t go into the city very often and was a bit spooked when I went to the KISS station last year to meet David. It was still dark out when I got there, but had Kristyl with me so did ok. I usually just venture into the city on nice sunny summer days just go to the waterfront to catch a ferry or to the Woodland Park Zoo.

    Oh well…I have that wonderful HQ video of David this morning to watch..so that will do.

  288. Patty-Ann says:

    Just watched David on the Regis & Kelly Utube video with NO SOUND! GAH! Gotta wait 6 more hours until I can actually HEAR IT! OMG! He looks so much older and mature, and rockin’ out I must say! Can’t wait to hear it.

  289. David From Texas says:

    Take care of yourself, JoyF! Many prayers for you! ((((hugs))))
    Hello Patty-Ann! It was great! You will love it with sound!

  290. David From Texas says:

    They must be fixing to release the album totals, because it says server is busy!

  291. JoyF says:

    #291 Patty-Ann: Are you the Patty who sent me a virtual Christmas Card? If so..thank you!

  292. angelbymyside says:

    Hello everyone :D

    I just cannot stop watching the video of Ray and David’s duet. Now that is epic!! I am saving that one on my ipod touch.

    Burkey ~ Hello! Sorry I missed you. It was so nice to meet you and your daughter in Stroudsburg. I am glad that you had safe travels home.

    DFT ~ I am so glad you were able to get a flight out of Baltimore on the day you were supposed to leave. I had been thinking about you because they were saying on the news that some people may not get a flight out of the East Coast airports until close to Christmas. I was so happy to have had the opportunity to meet you. You are so sweet.

    Kimk ~ Podiatry??? ROTFL

  293. David From Texas says:

    Hello ABMS! So great meeting you! Had a great time! awww, thanks! It worked out just fine! haha. There were plenty of delays and cancellations but I even took an earlier flight with no problems. You are awesomeage!

  294. David From Texas says:

    I saw that this was rumored and still is a rumor but here is some information. Again just RUMOR!
    =================================================================
    Tony Cowell says brother Simon leaving ‘Idol’ after 2010 11:36 AM Comment

    Tony Cowell says the 2010 season will be his brother Simon’s last on American Idol. In his Dec. 19 The Cowell Factor podcast for Fame Games, Tony says “a press statement is being prepared which will confirm what everybody expected: Simon will leave Idol at the end of 2010 to concentrate on bringing the American version of X Factor to U.S. TV in 2011.”

    Official sources from Fox or Simon’s camp have yet to comment on Tony’s statement. And good luck trying to find an official link to Tony’s podcast, which doesn’t seem to be on his blog or the Fame Games site. (So if you’ve got a link, please post it below.)

    Ok, thanks Kimk! I agree, it is awesome! Love the promo! lol

  319. Kimk says:

    Ok I did mean his wedding…..

  320. burkey says:

    Hi DFT and ABMS

    I am home from work early today. I just work part time in the winter. One of the perks of being “retired” haha

    I was very glad to meet you in Stroudsburg also. Wish the weather didn’t make us hurry our trip back home. I would have liked to stay longer and visit. Maybe we will meet agin some day at another David concert. I sure hope so. :-)

    Loved, loved the concert. It was the first VIP for me and the first time I had ever seen him up close. What a beautiful man to look at and we all know he has a beautiful heart also.

  321. EL says:

    kimk ~ I’m already jealous of his future wife, haha. Really, he’s like a son to me (since I have one the same age), but although I’m old enough to be his mother, my eyes still work and he is a handsome young man. I always tell my husband that when I look at a gorgeous young man I am just admiring God’s handiwork, nothing more… LOL

  322. EL says:

    well, sorry to post and run but I am swamped at work and it’s a short week (yay). Talk to ya all later! Adios amigas and amigos.

  323. David From Texas says:

    of course, Kimk!
    Hi Burkey! Yay, home from work! I know, I wish we would have had more time to talk, but there will be a next time! David is awesomeage! :D So happy that you and your daughter enjoyed the VIP and the concert! So happy that you made it home safe!

  324. Kimk says:

    David well about time!! Kind of feel
    the music folks are in his corner now?
    And well David is bringing his end of things as
    well so now all we need is a dang time
    machine to summer 2010.
    Enough winter and no no no to a David dry
    spell. :)

  325. David From Texas says:

    Have a great day at work, EL! Murray Christmas!

  326. burkey says:

    Full version of David singing MOC at Regis & Kelly this morning……with intro too

    Nice & Clear!

    http://bventertainment.go.com/tv/buenavista/regisandkelly/special/livestage/index.html

  327. David From Texas says:

    I totally agree! Yay, Promo and the powers that be. Keep it up! Don’t want a dry spell. Miss David already. David will have a great year!

  328. burkey says:

    DFT…………

    I had to drive all night because the forecast was so bad. I wanted to get out of there before the storm surrounded us.

  329. David From Texas says:

    awwww, Burkey! wow! I am glad that you did what you had to do to stay safe.

  330. burkey says:

    DFT

    Did you actually get to see some snow?

  331. David From Texas says:

    Yes, Burkey! It was so pretty! It snowed but I don’t think it was as bad as forcasted, in Stroudsburg anyway. We stayed an extra day in order to avoid the huge storm in the Baltimore area. When we left the roads were nice and clean! The snow plowers did a great job!

  332. JoyF says:

    #325 EL: I’ll have to use that line on my husband. Thanks for sharing. :lol:

    My daughter and I were talking about handsome men the other day, men that we wouldn’t mind having posters up around the house..our husbands were talking about beautiful women. I told my husband if he wanted to worry about some hunk catching my eye to not worry about the oh so very young David…that there are plenty of handsome older men in this world. Then I proceeded to name them…on both hands. :lol:

  333. ta says:

    hi everyone
    dft, I’m trying to catch up all the vids that I missed while I was on vacation. Do you know any vid that show the part that David coming down the stage to the crowd at Baltimore show? Did he come down?

  334. David From Texas says:

    Hello Ta! David didn’t come down to the crowd in Baltimore sadly. :(

  335. ta says:

    dft, oh no? umm. David….

  336. David From Texas says:

    The concert was great though. Just didn’t come down to the crowd.

  337. David From Texas says:

    Wait, maybe I am thinking Stroudsburg. Let me look, Ta.

  338. David From Texas says:

    I may be getting the concerts mixed up. lol. Let me confirm.

  339. David From Texas says:

    I think David did come down to the crowd. It was the show Syesha was present. I can’t find video either though

  340. David From Texas says:

    This one is from Nancy(Muldur). She was sitting right next to me. Gen Gen was sitting right behind me.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAak0vN1yZc

  341. ta says:

    343, haha, thanks, dft. You had a lot of fun at 4 shows, I bet. Especially you got to meet a lot of FODers.

  342. kimk Grammy-To-Be!!! says:

    David he did come into the crowd! was there a vid of it?? haven’t seen one yet!
    remember he jumped in front of the speakers like a gazelle!!!!!

  343. David From Texas says:

    Sorry, Ta! The concerts were all special and awesome. I just had a short brain fart. lol. I went to 5 concerts. Not nearly as much as many but I am very very very happy to have gone to each of these concerts. Meeting FODers and David fans is one of the best parts.

  344. ta says:

    dft,kimk, this vid showed he was coming down, but I couldn’t see him because everyone was taller… hehe.

  345. David From Texas says:

    Yes, he did, Kimk. It was my mistake. I confused my last concert with the Baltimore concert. He did jump in front of the speakers. lol.

  346. David From Texas says:

    not necessarily taller. David just came down the stage on the other side of the venue than we were and the camera lost him when he went farther back.

  347. JeffR - Montclair, (VIP for Stroudsburg!) says:

    Hi folks!

    Hi DFT! Glad you got back safely, wish I could have visited with all of you longer. You’ll have to make the trip back east next tour. We’ll try to hold off the snow.

  348. ta says:

    dft, ha, the crowd loved it.
    dft,kimk, I think David will be on 6 am. on Fox & Fam. only. I wish he will be on at 8 pm too. haha, more, more David.

    back to watch more vids. see you later everyone.

  349. David From Texas says:

    Hello JeffR! Thanks! I wish we could have spent more time together also. I will definitely try to return. We will see. Next tour, I would like to go back to SLC and go to a Texas concert. After that, we will see what fits in place. I really didn’t mind the snow at all. It was beautiful. Just didn’t know how delays and cancellations would be.

    Yes, they did, Ta! I will be watching both times just in case, David is a surprise guest. Have a great time watching videos! Murray Christmas to you!

  353. David From Texas says:

    Box seats were AMAZING! Great view! Love Ave Maria! It was also great watching everyone jumping to ZG. This tour has just been AWESOMEAGE!

    Pat a pan, Riu Riu Chiu, Fields of Gold, The Riddle, Crush, all of the songs.
    Did you see when David told someone back stage to give a little girl in the front seat some ear plugs? David is so sweet.

  355. JeffR - Montclair, (VIP for Stroudsburg!) says:

    It was so amazing to be above the stage where we were and watch Davids hands skillfully move across the keyboard while he played and sang. I heard about the little girl with the ear plugs but somehow I missed seeing it.

  356. David From Texas says:

    Our box was eye level to David but we could also watch David play the keyboard. It was just awesome being there with everyone.
