New VLOG!

Looking back at 2009 and the decade, fun times at Fan Fiesta, nerves for tomorrow, apologies for getting “mushy.”  Another great vlog from David Archuleta.

* * * * *

“Crush” is #99 on Billboard’s Best of the 2000s!

Congratulations David! This is such a huge accomplishment! I think this pertains to their digital downloads chart.

I am very happy to say that I found David on Billboard’s Decade End Chart! “Crush” is number 99 in Digital Songs. Being 99 out of 100 doesn’t sound like much of an achievement, but these charts are for the entire decade. TEN years of music. Even being on that chart is a tremendous thing.
Congratulations David! And way to go, David fans! :D

decade

Thanks!

End of Decade Buzz!

Oh, how happy it makes me when Washington Post calls David a talent as the DC papers were very skeptical all year. I think they finally realize and see the angel we all see. My life is complete. :-D

9) Reality TV: From “American Idol” to “Britain’s Got Talent” to “Dancing With the Stars,” ’90s-style reality TV melded with an old-fashioned talent show ethos to create a platform to launch talents as varied as Kelly Clarkson, Susan Boyle, David Archuleta and Chris Daughtry — and even relaunch folks like Paula Abdul and Tom DeLay.

More Birthday Wishes

Hi there!
Just to let you know that David’s birthday was on my local newspaper “Standard Examiner” (Utah). It definitely brought a big smile to my face :)

Also my husband is the clerk in my ward and after much begging he included David’s birthday on the church program (Sacrament Meeting program)…Bishop ok’d :) . Here I’m sending a pic of the program :)

The best thing, though, was this morning when I went outside and right on my front yard some of my young women from church brought a huge Birthday sign with pictures of David and balloons…Aww Happy 19th birthday David!

Hope you guys don’t mind me sharing
Have a great day!

    You can vote on Musiqtone much quicker if after you vote you press F5. Then do whatever you have to do next…I have to click on “retry”. OR you can use the rfresh button. these two ways go much quicker. I tried to see if WG were cheating by getting votes conncted to Das votes…the two votings do not seem to be correlated. WG fans are just out in large numbers. We still have time to have ALTNOY win, but we have to get more voters everyday starting right away!

    Hi Sounds like some of you are falling apart what with flu and index fingers and sleep deprivation (That would be Tina from yesterday.)
    I went over to GA for the chat with David. It was fun. I had to leave to help my daughter after about 10 questions. I had just submitted one. “Have you ever heard any of David’s new songs– like Best Behavior?”
    I left before he answered, but I asked later what he said. The answer was ..he heard part of one. He was walking by when David was on his laptop listening to one of his songs.
    They said they would have a transcript of the QA. If I hear about it I’ll let you know.

  23. Hi jeani! Yes, I am falling apart! LOL It was so fun meeting you at the concerts in SLC!

  24. GG, thanks for that link!!

    Here’s the vlog info/description:

    “I’m in El Paso, Texas for the Sun Bowl today. Looking forward to performing tomorrow. So crazy that we’ve reached the end of the year, and the end of the decade! It’s been such a great one though, with so many memories. I’m looking forward to what lies ahead in life, and hope to keep making you guys proud. Thanks so much you guys!”

    David, you nice Sir, whatever you do, however small or great, you make all of us proud!!! :-)

  52. Aww, what an adorable vlog!!

    Jeani, I hope the ticket thing worked out for you!! Evelyn is such a doll!

    Candy, I did the very same thing! I realized when it was over I had been smiling (like a dork) the whole time! Oh yeah…when he said the tour is over helooked SO sad!!

  53. kimk Bring on the Sun..Bowl!! says:

  55. Candy says:

    And I honestly think and feel he misses touring and us as much as we miss him!

  56. Candy says:

    Gessh he broke my heart when he said “The tour was over” Gulp he looked a little emotional…I think he too knows it while be a while till he gets to do it again…

  57. marciami (DA came to Ann Arbor! and I am not the same!) says:

    VLOG –
    Cough, cough – “I’m not sick – don’t worry” – He knows us well!!! haha

  58. kimk Bring on the Sun..Bowl!! says:

    Candy oh heck I am going on the notion if the opportunity comes up for a performance
    or woot a concert we can go to he will jump on it!

  59. jeani /Ut says:

    Joanie I just gave the tickets to my SIL’s brother and he took his daughter.
    They both just loved it and talked about it all the way home to Lehi. The dad is a really good singer and just was amazed at how good David was. He said when he started O Holy Night he thought to himself. Hmmm, he’s starting on that note? —-There’s no way he’ll reach that high note at the end. Just saying, he was blown away by him.

  60. Patty says:

    marcami…..lol I think this year and half his been learned from us and we been learned from him too. :)

  61. marciami (DA came to Ann Arbor! and I am not the same!) says:

    Sorry Candy – just saw you already posted about David “coughing” – I could feel myself about to start the worry thing about David, etc., etc. – he clears his throat and I want to get him some hot herbal tea with Michigan honey!

  62. Candy says:

    Patty- With David doing more writing the next couple of months, I dont think we can hope for a new cd till late summer or early fall. Maybe a single in the summer but that might be pushing things. Hopefully we will be pleasantly surprised!

  63. jeani /Ut says:

    OK, I’m all choked up after that blog. I can’t stand it. I feel so sad — blowing nose and can’t see. argggg

  64. jeani, how great that they got to go to the concert! Yeah….I was blown away too!!

  65. kristian says:

    Candy & marciami: I was counting how many times Mr. Bright Side has mentioned “FUN”, “GOOD” & “NICE” when that *cough* *cough* “I’m not sick, don’t worry” came in. lol

  66. Patty says:

    Candy…… I now it will be not that soon…but at least I can dream lol…. not seriously I think he need to get prepare well and get a good album. So this time the world can see how amazing singer he is.

  67. Candy says:

    I cracked up when he said “Dont worry, Im not sick”

  68. marciami (DA came to Ann Arbor! and I am not the same!) says:

    66/
    Oh Candy – say it isn’t so – just can’t be so long

  69. Candy says:

    70/Patty-I feel the same way, he said how rushed he was with the first cd and while it was good, with more time to focus on writing and recording, this one will be amazing!

  70. marciami (DA came to Ann Arbor! and I am not the same!) says:

    HAPPY NEW YEAR’S EVE – 2010
    At the beginning of this decade David was 9 years old!!!!

  71. Candy says:

    Well, its the East Coast bewitching hour. Im off to dreamland. Good Night All (((HUGS)))

  79. Nancy says:

    I loved that last expression on David’s face in the blog. lol So adorable

  80. Oh gosh, another vlog, He is always thinking of his fans. I felt like he truly truly misses performing and I hope after tomorrow he’ll have the priviledge of performing somewhere, anywhere. It really doesn’t matter where. If he sings, they will come—— Such a cutie!

  81. jeani /Ut says:

    Goodnight ya’ll

  82. David From Texas says:

  84. EL says:

    Good morning! Couldn’t sleep, so up early. Loved the vlog. Adorable as usual, but a little bittersweet with the end of an amazing year and a long wait until the next tour. I think David is already missing us too. (sniff)

    Just a few mentions:

    How many new Totoros do you think David is going to receive in the mail? haha

    Crush in Top 100 Songs of The Decade? Go Crush! Crush is a Crusher. A Crush-A-Rama. The Crush Meister. (ok, so apparently I’m old and have watched too many episodes of SNL)

  85. EL says:

    k, so I’m still here. Just watched the vlog again. Did I mention I love his crooked smile? And his expressive eyebrows? :)

  86. EL says:

    well, since apparently I’m the only one crazy enough to be up this early and on the computer, I guess I’ll say, adios. Got to get ready for work, but I’ll be back on here and there…I think we are only working a half day today (yay). See you later all you people who aren’t reading this, haha. (yikes, I really need help…New Year’s resolution?…Nah) hehe

  87. FG says:

    Goooood Morning! I gotta get ready for work but wanted to stop by and say hi!!!

    I love the vlog! He should do one every day LOL! I miss him on a cellular level. dang it.

    Awesome sales for CFTH! Random poll at the dentist’s office I took – only 1 of 4 ladies knew he has a Christmas CD out – she saw it on TV just last week. They all squeeed like chipmunks when I showed them my VIP pic with him. LOL

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

    Good Morning El & FG,
    Hopefully I can get this comment in w/out my computer crashing on me again, dang it :(

    I loved his vlog, he is adorable and very expressive :D I loved how he talked about always wanting to do his best at anything he does, even when he is nervous. He is so wise….

    Happy New Year everyone!!!

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

    “3. The final poll is for Twitter for The Best American Idol Ever. David is currently in 4th place. You can vote every 20 minutes. The link is:
    I hope I got these links written down correctly.
    Thanks!

    Actually. Cassie, David is in 3rd place since december 28th, his birthday day. We got him the 3rd place just before midnight…
    BUT Allison Ihareta´s fans are VERY mobilized (idol forums):

    “Archie has surpassed Allie [crying.gif]
    (I suspect it is younguns with time in their hands now that they have vacations… maybe they’ll tire of voting, and if we keep our constant voting may overtake him at another day)”.

    The difference between Archie and Allison was +- 1500 votes… after Allison´s fans effort, it´s now +- 800 votes only… and decreasing! If we, Archie fans don´t react, our birthday effort will be lost and Archie will really turn to 4th place… sniff!

    Let´s vote? http://tweeter.faxo.com/Best_American_Idol_Ever
    We can vote every 20 minutes! You vote, the button turns red, you wait 20 minutes, refresh the page, the button turns green, and you can vote again!
