CNN Finally Got it Right!

I hope the person who got it wrong was fired. Seriously people, even my 4 year old baby brother knows how to use Wikipedia…

CNN has corrected the spelling of David’s name for subsequent rebroadcasts of last night’s Larry King holiday music special. Here it is recorded on Archiedorable’s YouTube channel with the corrected spelling…

lkl archuleTa

In addition to performing on the Larry King Live “Holiday Music Spectacular” special, David was interviewed. Only a portion of it was aired on TV. This video shows his complete interview. He comes on at 3 different points, at 0:26, 3:08, and 4:34. Also interviewed were Sting, Shawn King, and Andrea Bocelli.

Adorable O Holy Night Cover

Too cute for words…No, really. I’m speechless.

My son Chris (10) is playing the piano and my daughter Nikki (4) is singing. They always say how David makes their heart happy. We sure had fun making the video and even made it into a promo for CFTH too, lol. Thank you very much and have a very Merry Christmas ~

Anaheim Memories

Hi this is Robert here in LA.
I went to the concert in Anaheim on Wednesday night and it was perfection from the moment I arrived
until I said my goodbyes to everyone. I saw friends and made new ones and shared the experience
of David with so many beautiful people. I sat down to write my story and found myself writing about the
connection we all feel instead. The concert was perfection but the space opened in my heart I take with me out into my life. It is David’s greatest gift to us.
I posted the piece here on my blog

Happy Holidays to everyone
Namaste
Robert

I wonder
how many perfect days
we could experience,
if only we let ourselves
relax and sink deeply
into the moment.

Is it about the event exactly
or is it that in those moments
we find a perfect connection
with who we really are?

David opens that door
for many of us.
He shows us a beauty
we all feel
deep within our hearts
but which is so many times
masked by fear and sorrow.

He laughs,
and smiles,
and bounces
his way
past our barricades
and lets the light shine
into our very souls.

I found a new family
the first time I experienced
David in concert.
And I found family again
Wed night in Anaheim.

We share
that common bond
of knowing but not knowing
why this angel of a boy
can touch us so deeply.

Truth
needs no explanation.
It merely is.
And the truth is
that David brings love.

He inspires me
to be open
to this miracle of life.
And he challenges me
to be a force for change
and peace in the world.

I was able to tell him
what his music
and example mean to me.
I told him
that he speaks
directly to my soul.

That soul connection
we all feel
not just with David
but with one another.

It is the greatest gift
we can offer.

And so I have
all I need today.
For I have a heart
and a soul
open and ready
to love.

As a dedicated fan (to say the least. Ha Ha.) I was reminded of David when looking at my Christmas tree today. My mom bought an ornament a few years ago that says “All Hearts Come Home for Christmas.” Of course, this reminded me of the one and only Christmas From The Heart but it also had new meaning for me as well. David finally has a break where he can spend some time with his family which he loves! He rarely gets this opportunity now and I’m so glad that he will be able to share more memories with them this Christmas! David tweeted today:
“Christmas Eve! Gonna be spending time with the family. Hope everyone’s day goes well today.”
I just think it is so incredible that he is so close with his family. I am the same way and I love when I come across other people my age who cherish their family as well. I am about to be 21 years old and I love every moment that I get to spend with them. It is easy to tell that David loves his quality time as well.
So to bring this long story to an end….I just wanted to say to everyone, “Have a wonderful Christmas! Don’t ever take your family for granted.”
And always remember…. “All Hearts Come Home For Christmas!”

  24. lettie2 says:

    That is one beautiful picture!! Are you hanging that any where special? lol!

  25. JoyF says:

    lettie: I thought he meant it as kind of a joke..ya know..teasing me, but after he told me what he had to go through to have it made, maybe not.

  26. lettie2 says:

    It is very large!! Wow I wonder, I bet that took a lot of work to make!

  27. JoyF says:

    lettie: I have a blank space on my living room wall where it would fit perfect. :lol:

  28. JoyF says:

    It’s so big that Kristyl & I couldn’t hold it up unless it was rolled at the bottom. Steve said he wanted it life-size. :lol:

  29. lettie2 says:

    JoyF, that will be awesome!! Your living room wall….my family wouldn’t know what to think if I did that!!

  30. lettie2 says:

    JoyF, Machelle gave me an 8×10 last year for Christmas and I was thinking of putting it up on the wall with the grandkids pictures…but I guess i would have to get a new one every year!

  31. JoyF says:

    lettie: Yep..just like all the rest of them. :D

    I told my son that I’m thinking of going to one of the concerts on the East coast next time…just to go somewhere different. I have an urge to see some of the country.

    Hi lettie2 and JoyF! Hope you have a great holiday!

  38. JoyF says:

    We open presents on Christmas Eve so that the kids can spend Christmas Day with the In-laws, so tomorrow will be a day of relaxation and meditation for me. I’m going to watch the movie, The Nativity and The Christmas Shoes. No dinner to cook..lots of leftovers from today. I’m looking forward to it.

  39. JoyF says:

    Hey Julie! :D

  40. lettie2 says:

    Julie4ever, Merry Christmas!! Hope your Christmas is the best!! And happy New Year!

  41. JoyF says:

    The kids have talked me into going to see Avatar on Saturday. Hope I don’t get sick with the 3D. The promised me that it isn’t like other 3D movies. They’d better be right or someone is going to have to give up their bucket of popcorn! :lol:

  42. JoyF says:

    Oh…Merry Christmas Julie! :D

  43. lettie2 says:

    I really want to see the Blindside. I am hoping it gets here soon.

  44. JoyF says:

    I’d like to see Blindside too. I love most of the movies that Sandra Bullock is in and the story in this one looks really good. Always have liked movies like Remember The Titans and We Are Marshall. They have great stories and Blindside looks to be like those.

  45. lettie2 says:

    I always thought my son should have married Sandra Bullock!! LOL! I figured we could have gone to jackson when she was there and I could have figured a way for them to meet…but she went married that other guy!! LOL!! My son just laughed at me when I told him my plan!!

  46. JoyF says:

    At least you had a plan..did he? :lol:

    Think I’m gonna head out for the night lettie. I have an ache in the back of my neck and staring at the computer screen doesn’t help it none.

    Have a wonderful Christmas Day and I’ll talk to you later. LUV Ya!

    http://twitpic.com/v3g85

    GG: Found out yesterday that my 10yo grandson is a huge fan of Michael Jackson. He and I rocked out together watching some of his videos. Kyle even has some of his moves down. :D

  54. Virtue says:

    Merry Christmas, everyone!!! Great stuff posted today. What with the children doing “Oh, Holy Night” and the giant poster of David! “Tis the season:DDD

    Now, quick, go vote 50 times at Musiqtone for David Archuleta’s video ALTNOY. It’s fallen to 3rd place.

  55. Nancy says:

    no way is that musiqtone poll working right…..around lunchtime we were ahead of wonder girls and now we are behind them by 33,275. That is not possible. How could they get that many votes even this whole day etc. must less in a matter of hours. That poll is totally messed up….I mean each person can vote only 50 times a day so how many would have to vote in those hours to achieve a 33,275 lead on us. Is there anyway to contact them to let them be aware of this.

  56. naree says:

    Here’s wishing everybody MERRY CHRISTMAS

    wow Joy.. that’s an awesome pic of David ? Where did your son get it? ..lol.. me want one..

    Nancy I noticed that too on musiqtone!.. That’s not good! Wonder what we can do
