David Archuleta will sing “God Bless America” in tomorrow’s playoff game featuring the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and the Boston Red Sox.  Read the article here.

David Archuleta will sing in seventh-inning stretch

Davidarchuleta_2 Friday night’s starting lineup is pretty squeal-inducing. We mean the entertainment lineup, not the players. Local saxophonist B.K. Jackson will perform the national anthem before the first pitch, and American Idol star David Archuleta will sing God Bless America during the seventh-inning stretch. Ceremonial first pitch lineups for the weekend are also set. On Friday, 11 original season ticket holders have been invited to throw the first pitch. On Saturday, noted Rays fan and college basketball icon Dick Vitale will have the honors. The 11 honorees Friday are Jack Critchfield, Clearwater; Bette Ra Ivey, Largo; David Parry, Brandon; Dr. Pedro Morales, St. Petersburg; Mark Donohue,  St. Petersburg; Gene Oliver St. Petersburg; Russ Cosser, Treasure Island; Beth Di Roma, Largo; Jeff Albrecht, Sarasota; Pedro Bajo, Tampa; John Shoppell, St. Petersburg Beach.

WOOT!  Congratulations, David!

David to Appear on Today Show November 11th

Thanks for the tip, Kristin and Angela!

*Don’t forget to join us tonight at 8pm ET for a chat with Margret Cassidy Robinson, Eva Cassidy’s sister!  If you haven’t read KT’s story in the previous post, scroll down and read it!  It’s just beautiful.

  10. thinkofmearchie says:

    Sounds like he’s on the move! Archie’s get out your spy cams!

  11. Kristin says:

  12. passionforarch says:

  13. glenda in Utah says:

    Kristin, really, I do agree with Candy…Go to that game!!! You would be our hero!!!

  14. Shellie says:

    Kristin-If I lived in Florida I would go to that game with you!! How far away are you?

  15. glenda in Utah says:

    I’ll BBL, gotta do mom duties!

  16. JeffR. says:

    Joanie (from the last thread) Joanie 1063 – Incognito?? It’s much better in spite of your threat! I just sound funny now. :-)

  17. gg_doorsfan says:

    Is this awesome or what? I am so pumped to hear him sing GBA!

  18. Kristin says:

    14/Shellie-I’m about an hour and a half away from the field/stadium, whatever you want to call it. And. . . UGGH. . . I cannot get a hold of my husband!

  19. JeffR. says:

    Kristin, that would be awesome if you could get to the game. Be sure to bring all your media equipment! (maybe you can find out where David is going for the 8th inning, not that you would really be interested or anything).

  20. ♥archarmy-soldier♥ says:

    “oh my heck!” wat time and wat channel-which i live nearby there, LOL!!

  21. #16 JeffR: Are you sure, because the offer still stands! I’ve got them around here somewhere! Oh, and , are you trying to say you don’t do a little banking on the side?

    I better get dinner ready so I’ll be back here for Margaret’s chat! BBL everyone.♥

  22. Andrea C (pittsburgh)myfav4evr says:

    My heart is just beating on overdrive here….David singing God Bless America..do you all know how much I love his version of this and SSB at age 11.????..and have been waiting for him to sing God Bless America again…serious chills here

  23. So, passionforarch: What part of Utah are you from?

  24. hey, andrea! I’m trying to go cook dinner but I have no discipline.

    And, Kristin, get the tickets! Tell your husband it is a surprise for HIM! He’ll believe you, hehe

  25. HEY EVERYONE~~ I just placed an order for bumper stickers. I know that in the past, I posted that if anyone wanted to, he or she could go to the site and see the sticker, then let me know if you wanted one. Well I only got one response, but that is ok. However, if someone would like one now, email me. I can send one to the first 10 people who send me an email (at no cost to you). I just want David to know that we support him. I figured that driving around town some would see it and go check out his music. The bumper sticker says: “David Archuleta is #1” there are wavy musical notes under it. The color font is Royal Blue the notes under are black. It is a 3×10 sticker. So let me know :) archiefan@live.com Wish I could post a picture but I do not have that capability now. Sorry.

  26. lindy says:

    I hope he is practicing the song! I am already nervous. I want it to be perfect. I know I sound like a mom, but he is so busy!!!

  27. Shellie says:

    Kristin-Good luck getting a hold of your husband! Keep us updated!

  28. Kristin says:

    24/Joanie-That’s a good enough reason. . . a surprise for him. . . yes, I think that’s good! He’s such a great hubby he’ll probably consider it! He’s inservicing at a hospital right now, so I’ve got to wait until he’s done!!! Dang It!!!

  29. passionforarch says:

    oh im not from utah. the next state over colorado

  30. #26 lindy: lindylindylindy: All I can say is, David practices in his SLEEP, for heaven’s sake, and Lupe’s got the rest covered! Now, let’s worry about something important like, how did David’s haircut come out? I hope Brooke White (the REAL one) didn’t cut it too short! lol ’sup lindy

  31. Shellie says:

    Lindy-I get nervous too, even though I know that he will sound AMAZING!

  32. scott says:

    hey ggdoors: It is so awesome! I’ve been pumped all week and it keeps getting better. Finally , what we’ve been wating for is happening! David is going to be everywhere!

  33. passionforarch, OMGosh, you mean that phrase has been exported to the state of Colorado? I mean, Oh My Heck. lol

  34. Shellie says:

    Joanie-We will find out how Brooke did tomorrow night!!

  35. passionforarch says:

    oh noooo i just like saying what david says lol

  36. Andrea C (pittsburgh)myfav4evr says:

    Hi joanie, I have not gotten a thing done today…just when you think things might slow down a bit, lets see, there is an interview tonight with Margret Cassidy, a new blog, David on GMA on 11/11 and David is singing God Bless America at the baseball game…holy smokies…what a day!!

  37. Marissa says:

    Does anyone know if, when, and what channel this is going to be broadcasted on for the West Coast?? Let us know! I can tivo the game but I only want to if they’re showing him!

  38. GG! Hey, girl! Long time no see…I’m glad to see your old avatar back. I LOVE that picture! I’m supposed to be cooking dinner. Oy, I served out of a can LAST night. Better not do it again tonight! lol

  39. blaykee says:

    I do hope he can enjoy the game though, without fans all over him. He deserves a break! Can’t wait to hear him sing!!

  40. hollyre says:

    Kristin – There are tickets available. Here is the link. You HAVE to go. I love baseball, too but my beloved Reds have been pretty lousy the last several years. I want to hear from someone who hears him sing GBA live. GO, GO, GO.

    http://www.stubhub.com/tampa-bay-rays-playoff-tickets/rays-vs-red-sox-10-10-2008-587816/

  41. Andrea C (pittsburgh)myfav4evr says:

    and Oh, I forgot, a hair cut and moving the furniture…ha,ha…how flipp’n sweet was that..Brooke is such a sweet heart too..Thank you Brooke for taking care of David and Jeff..that has to be comforting to them to be able to stay there..more like home than a hotel room.

  42. Yippee, David singing “God Bless America”. I can’t wait. Will it be televised? I’m sure it’ll be on youtube by midnight. I’m so loving this, a new song (you know what I mean), more exposure. I see a platinum record in the works.

    Andrea- My heart is on overdrive too. I absolutely loved his younger version of it. It’s going to be amazing and I’ll in tears.

  43. Oh gosh, I guess we will find out how that hair cut came out tomorrow. Yikes. Good I hope. Please dont be too short. Love ya David.

    Hey I was just told to leave the office. So good night all. God Bless and have fun with the online chat tonight. :) ∞♥DJA

  44. #34 Shellie: Let’s hope she read my mind and made David look like he did when he sang “Heaven” during Hollywood week…you know, all rumply, long and lush, like he just rolled out of bed and went in front of the camera. *sigh*

    #36 andreac: you’ll be here for Margaret’s chat, then?

    And on that note, if I don’t get started I won’t make it back ….see ya soon!

  45. gg_doorsfan says:

    Hi Scott, joanie, andrea c, hollyre, blakee, marissa – !!

  46. gg_doorsfan says:

    David is taking over the media – and we love it!

  47. hollyre says:

    Tomorrow night the baseball game is on TBS at 8:30 ET.

  48. Josie says:

    OMGosh! My beloved Red Sox and my beloved David Archuleta in the same place? Thank goodness for DVRs. If there are any Tampa fans here – I will say good luck, because if for some reason Jacoby Ellsbury and my Red Sox don’t pull the ALCS off, I’m rooting for the Rays!

    Go Sox! Go David! Go Angels! ♥

  49. hollyre says:

    Hi gg. I hope David is all over the place. We need to see and hear from him every day like when he was on tour.

  50. Becky says:

    FANGIRLING LIKE CRAZY! The Today Show for album release day!!! OMG! Watched by MILLIONS…and I mean MILLIONS every morning. I hope they let people in the studio. It always sounds better that way.

    AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

    OK, off to do RL work…then I’ll post a BUNCH on Articles tonight, including a new bookmark. It’s been moved (although you can’t tell) so if you have it bookmarked, you’ll need to change it. Also, you should be able to comment again on that page!

    Bye…have fun on the chat tonight…I’ll be watching too…

  51. FunnyGirl says:

    SQUEEEEEEEEE David singing God Bless America………new runs to obsess and cry over, a new outfit, a new haircut……….THUD

  52. Jenny says:

    Kristin, if you go, we should do a live cellcast!

  53. lindy says:

    Hopefully the haircut is just a trim. Ya know just around the ears and left the same on top. We needs spikes for the baseball game!!!

  54. FunnyGirl says:

    HI BECKY – Thanks so much for all that you and Jenny do!

    The Today Show appearance on album release day is PURE MAGIC! Yes!!!!!!

  55. Virginia5 says:

  57. ARCHIE_FANATIC15 says:

    ahhhhh!! that’s such exciting news.. im extremely thrilled to hear that.. whoot whoot!!

  58. FunnyGirl says:

    This is all soooooooo exciting! OMG! OMGOSH! OMYGOLLY!

  59. blaykee says:

    It will be on TBS at 5:00 PST

  60. scott says:

    Ha Ha! Maybe Brooke gave him a buzz!

  61. Andrea C (pittsburgh)myfav4evr says:

    Hi gg….what a day this has been, what a rare mood I’m in, it’s almost like being in love…
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy17lE30lnw

    #42 “AKA” formerly “C S”—over drive for sure

    and yes joanie I will be here for the chat with Margret tonight , wouldn’t miss it

  62. lindy says:

    Don’t say that Scott! I would die a thousand deaths!

  63. Marissa says:

    As would I, lindy. But someone please tell me if and when they are broadcasting it?!?!?! I can’t seem to figure it out!

  64. lindy says:

    #64 you mean the game? On TBS!

  65. cvarchfan says:

    They don’t always show the 7th inning stretch on TV, so let’s hope someone is there for a youtube video!

  66. Jennifer B says:

    it will be worth watching the game for the 7th inning “itch”. Wow, to hear David sing this song will be amazing and I hope we have some FOD on site to send us updates and of course PICTURES. can’t have enough of them.

  67. scott says:

    Lindy : It will be ok, it’s just a haircut. I’m sure she won’t buzz it. He has to get it cut at some point or he’ll end up looking like a Jonas Bro!

  68. shelley says:

    David will be on Today shown on the release date of his album!!! Yayy!! I took that day off too!!! Yayy!! Will the game be on T.V.??

  69. gg_doorsfan says:

    Should an email find it’s way to the network asking for the seventh inning stretch to be televised? I f we ask nicely, u think? :)

  70. Dave says:

    Be careful Scott. My joking around earlier almost got me banished! (one exclamation point for Becky)

  71. gg_doorsfan says:

    Hi Shelley! He will be seen by millions that day – WOW WOW WOW WOW!

  72. bluesky says:

    I just had to laugh. I was talking to my two sons (18 & 23) about
    how even David gets a ‘home hair cut’ now and then (I often cut their hair… they like it)….
    I was at another site ….. I said : See the picture of David and Brook? She’s going to
    cut his hair.

    Well, it was pretty funny!! Both my sons ‘put up with’ my talking about David, but
    when they saw Brook they were glued to the screen. “Who is that?” “She was on
    Idol?” “She’s mormon, too?”

    Their interest was interesting!!!

    David never got so much attention from my boys before!! SO FUNNY!

  73. Kirsten says:

    66/cvarchfan – They better show it…it’s the playoffs after all. And, it’s DAVID ARCHULETA for cryin’ out loud!!!

  74. Has Azoff off officially taken over? If they have, they’re doing a wonderful job. And please it it coming.

  75. scott says:

    What happened Dave? I only have one Exclamation mark.

  76. Attitude/Candy says:

    Well, well, if that wasnt the pot calling the kettle!

  77. Attitude/Candy says:

    Im sorry, but a remark on here dropped me to my knees with laughter! Rolled Right out of my chair!

  78. lindy says:

    #70 – gg Hey, I think sending an nice e-mail to TBS would be a great idea! Look how much more exposure he would get if it was televised!

  79. marcia says:

    THANKS #47 – I WILL BE WATCHING AND HOLDING MY BREATH

  80. Kristin says:

    My hubby just called and told me to go for it!!! Now I’m off to see what kind of tickets I can acquire! I hope it doesn’t put us in the poor house! LOL

  81. Attitude/Candy says:

    kirsitn- keep in mind cost is no object, you can call Marylee’s Banker! Anything for David!

  82. pastel says:

    Wow! The appearances are starting to come. Would have preferred the national anthem, but this will be amazing exposure. Any FOD’er’s going? It would be hard to get seats now, except on e-Bay.

    And Today exposure on CD launch day is perfect! We can all watch together and chat online hopefully.

    This is so exciting!!!

  83. Kristin says:

    Oh, yes, that’s right. . . Marylee’s banker!!

  84. scott says:

    Kristin: YEAH! “and then a Hero comes along”

  85. Dave says:

    Scott, nothing. I tend to use a lot of exclamation points. Becky said earlier, after reformatting the post site, that over usage of punctuation marks in succession can mess with the formatting. GO KRISTEN!!!

  86. Andrea C (pittsburgh)myfav4evr says:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n09iWWXC9ME David cuter than puppies…so cute

  87. scott says:

    Dave Oh! I see. I will be careful.

  88. Kirsten says:

    Kristin – YOU GO GIRL! :)

  89. Attitude/Candy says:

    Go Kristin, Go kristin, Go Kristin G.O. K.R.I.S.T.I.N GOOOOOOO KRISTIN! *shaking pom poms*

  90. Dave says:

    Yeah, and me with my three exclamation points. I think it’s actually when people go CRAZY with them, and there really is never any craziness in here, right?

  91. pastel says:

    How exciting! The appearances are starting to come in! Today is PERFECT for David. We can all watch together and chat at the same time. Go Azoff!

    Kristin, I’ll happily pay for part of your tickets! We all will. Or we’ll buy you one heck of a dinner in Utah, including refreshments. The team is counting on you!!!

  92. marcia says:

    FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY – IN THE ARTICLE ON THE GAME SOMEONE REALLY GOT IT RIGHT!!

    THEY SAID AMERICAN IDOL STAR – NO RANKING – NO RUNNER-UP GARBAGE TO

    HAVE TO LISTEN TO – DAVID IS FREE – HIS MANAGEMENT DID A GREAT JOB GETTING

    HIM ON GMA ON HIS DEBUT DAY!!!!!!!! WONDER WHAT SONG HE WILL SING FROM THE CD!!

  93. scott says:

    Kristin: If you do go, did you see Jenny’s post #52?

  94. gg_doorsfan says:

    OK Ladies… feeling pretty good tonight… who’s holding the stash of gaga David pics? *she said rubbing her hands gleefully*

  95. ♥archarmy-soldier♥ says:

    marcia, thats wat i thot- american idol STAR wooooohooooo
    i think theyre over that other stuff…

  96. gg_doorsfan says:

    I’m thinking Crush Marcia!

  97. FunnyGirl says:

    LOL at that girl in the puppies video – “I’ll see you on our Wedding Day!”

    gutsy-spunky ha!

  98. KT says:

    I wanted to post this here as well…thanks. I already posted it in the previous thread.

    Thanks to all of you for your very kind words…it means a lot to me. I am glad that I could try to share in words the experience of listening to David and Eva and of course the impact that my uncle had in my life.

    Russ from post 78: “…It has really helped me understand my own feelings and helped me feel better about them”.

    I am so glad you had that feeling and it makes the effort that much more worthwhile.

    Judith post 280: Simply thank you…

    Brett post 862: “…moved my very soul!!! Thank you KT…whoever you are!”

    Brett, thanks so much for your kind words. It is very touching that my story had that effect on you. “KT…whoever you are…”,lol if you find out who she is can you let me know…I have been looking for her!!! hahaha

  99. Kristin says:

    OH MY GOSH!!! I just ordered tickets for the game. Do I not have the best husband in the world? He’s been away since Sunday, is driving through a severe thunderstorm coming home from Georgia, won’t get in until after 11 pm and told me to go ahead and get tickets!! Man. . . do I owe him big!!

    Candy-you shaking pom poms is something I would definitely pay to see!

  100. scott says:

    Hmmm.. You think David knows about the chat tonight? Maybe he’ll be lurking?

  101. chickee says:

    Josie/#48 Your beloved Red Sox, I just knew you had to be a Sox fan! SO AM I! I watch every game, and I cannot believe that David and the Red Sox are together the same night! I just about died when I heard this news! How good can life be???? Jacoby Ellsbury is my favorite player, isn’t he exciting to watch run those bases? Wow, he’s fast. and Jon Lester, what a story, right? he’s one of the best in baseball right now, and we’re so happy for him. I hope Dice-K does well tomorrow night, let’s pray that he does!!

  102. ♥archarmy-soldier♥ says:

    can we pay tbs 2 air the 7th inning-we’ll pay them the amount ov $$$$$$$ theyll get 4 the commercial(s) wether its the chris brown gum comercial or the sanjaya nationwide commercial or that new pink beyonce pepsi comercial-who cares! lets start colecting $$$$$!! Lol (just kidding ov course)

  103. FunnyGirl says:

    RANDOM – another line I’d like to hear David sing – “you and I been in love too long, to worry about tomorrow, there’s a place where we both belong, you know you’re the only woman that I’m dreamin of……”

  104. scott says:

    Yeah Kristin! Where are your seats?

  105. lindy says:

    Krisitin, he will be at the game watching, so you will have to scout the crowd and get pictures somehow!!!

  106. FunnyGirl says:

    Kristin – you rock more than glaciers!

  107. Kristin says:

    104/Russ-I wish I could say that I got really good seats, but I wasn’t about to pay $400/seat, so we are in the upper level. I have a really good camera though that takes pretty good video!

  108. Attitude/Candy says:

    *pulling up chair for a front row seat to visit with our special guest, Margret* Pass the ice cream and popcorn

  109. Attitude/Candy says:

    Kristin-May I suggest as payment you be waiting at the door with a rose in your teeth!

  110. Kristin says:

    108/Candy-I’ve gotta get ready for that chat! Don’t forget your archubib!!

  111. ♥archarmy-soldier♥ says:

    go kristin!!

  112. lindy says:

    There is always the big screen you can video, too. Take a telescope if you have to, so you can spot him in the crowd.

  113. scott says:

    Kristin: cool, Video! We can’t wait.

  114. Kristin says:

    *runs to the nearest Publix to buy roses*

  115. chickee says:

    Kristin, you got tickets? OMG, wow, good for you! My husband and I went to Fenway Park last season and saw the pennant game between the Sox and the Cleveland Indians last year. It went on for almost 5 hours, something like 13 innings, Curt Shilling was pitching and ended up loosing the game, but a championship game is just so exciting! I’ll be thinking of you there; it should be quite a game, Tampa Bay/Sox what a rivalry, almost as good as Sox/Yankees.

  116. FunnyGirl says:

    Have fun tonight guys – my hubby will be home tomorrow (wtheck?) so I doubt I’ll be on – grrrrrrrrrr!!!!! Who told him he could take a day off work?

  117. Attitude/Candy says:

    kristin – as soon as you arrive start sniffing for cinnamon/nutmeg! Its sort of like a David GPS!

  118. ♥archarmy-soldier♥ says:

    is the site gonna crash like wat hapend w/ the kat and tyler music video chat-ive gotta finidh my hw!!!!!!

  119. Dave says:

    Kristen, you’ll be fine. Your camera has a zoom, and the stadium sound system sounds pretty much the same whereever you are! Have fun. Your the woman of the night!

  120. Attitude/Candy says:

    Jenny-Are you going to give us a heads up that the guest chat is starting??

  121. pastel says:

    Kristin..we LOVE you, and your still unknown-to-us-but-all-round-good-guy husband!~

  122. chickee says:

    #119/Dave, yes Kristin is for sure the woman of the night, Go Kristen, Go Kristen.

  123. pastel says:

    Is a window going to be open here, or do we go to Chat?

  124. ♥archarmy-soldier♥ says:

    okay so this is kinda random but im typing up a paper 4 english and i realize that i was typing the way i do here (with the carelessness-sp?)
    *sobs, hopes 2 not be forced out of honors english*

  125. Kristin says:

    115/chickee-I loved Curt Shilling when he played for the Phillies. And. . . I was born in Boston and still have many relatives in Massachusetts. I’m looking forward to it because I really do like baseball!

    117/Candy-David GPS. . . LOL I will clear the nasal passages before I leave and get my sniffer working!

  126. Attitude/Candy says:

    and if by some chance she should happen to have a David encounter, I am sure she wont crowd his space or go all fangirly over him! FOD’ers are all about respect!

  127. scott says:

    chat starting in 2 minutes!

  128. Hey everyone. Just a couple of minutes away.

    Kristin- You’re going to the game tomorrow? So happy for you, didn’t know you were a baseball fan, haha.

    Pastel- either open up another window or click on home to get the live chat.

  129. Dave says:

    where do we go? what do we do?

  130. chickee says:

    #125/Kristin, When Jacoby Ellsbury comes to the plate, pls. scream extra loud for me, PLEASE?? and scream louder when David sings, BE STILL THIS HEART.

  131. mhelchuleta says:

    go kristin!bring us the bacon,hahahaha…i mean the video and pictures,hahahha!i’m soooooooooo happy tonight.azoff is doing a fantastic job for our david,yeheyyyyyyyyy!!♥

  132. Kristin says:

    126/Candy-Absolutely not!!! My husband has said he’d actually like to meet David one day. He respects a good singer and a good kid!!

  133. Kristin says:

    Chat time???

  134. Attitude/Candy says:

    where is the chat happening?

  135. angel says:

    Thanks to everyone that commented at heynielsen…plese check it out each day to keep David’s rank up. Seems a little odd to me that so many of us vote at soooo many different sites for him and there are only 441 members at hey neilsen. David is still ranked #1 in music and is #12 overall (has dropped in the last few weeks from #3!!!)

    Respect for David or people in general?

  138. ♫ ♥ VANESSA ♥ ♫ says:

    Hello! I’m back!

  139. Regina says:

    Kristin, way to go! I live in GA, wish I could join you. That’s so cool David is going to be in the Eastern time zone again.

    Has anyone thought about how David might sing more than one song on the Today show? Wasn’t it the Today show that Miley Cyrus was on when her album was released? She sang several songs. It was like a mini concert. That would be great if David did that.

  140. laura says:

    so happy about David singing at the game tomorrow night! my whole family are red sox fans even though we live in new york. doesn’t David’s brother Daniel always wear a red sox cap??? Go red sox! Go David!

  141. chickee says:

    #137/Sgj, the game is on TBS, 8:30 Eastern time.

  142. chickee says:

    #141/Laura, isn’t that a riot that Daniel wears a Red Sox cap? a Utahn, well, maybe cause they are the World Series champs? YOu live in New York and you’re not a Yankees fan? well, we are glad a New Yorker is a member of Red Sox Nation! yeaaa!!

  143. laura says:

    143/chickee, as you can imagine we take alot of heat for not being Yankee fans. But having David sing at a Red Sox game pure heaven, just wish it was at the game i went to in June:(

  144. Hector says:

    hey you all!!! so does david have picks up when hes getting a haircut? or did I miss anything!?

  145. Juliana says:

    ITS JAZZYS BDAY TOMORROW! (cue to jenny for post) haha, just kidding jenny!.. NO PRESSURE! haha, but that would nice.

  147. Gengen says:

    Kristin you are my HERO!!!! and are your husband the best in the world? I wanna give him a big hug.

  148. sgj says:

    142/chickee: Thank you so much!!!

  149. emerlinda says:

    woww..ive already heard david sing GOD BLESS AMERICA,when he is young,,soooooooo much amazing…

  150. Kristin says:

    WOW! That was an amazing chat!! I loved learning so much more about Eva. When And So It Goes was playing and Margret said she loved that song and really loved and missed her little sister, it brought me to tears!

  151. ♥ heartsong ♫ says:

    Did we all move over here? Wasn’t that just great?!

  152. ♥ heartsong ♫ says:

    Kristin – There were sooo many things that brought me to tears. The ultimate being that we lost that voice much too soon.

  153. Attitude/Candy says:

    That was amazing, so moving, so inspiring! Me too Kristin, I was having a hard time keeping my composure and that comment did me in!

  154. scott says:

    Kristin, I got choked up too.

  155. Kristin says:

    heartsong-Yes, we did. . .yes we did. I really hope David got a chance to sit in on the chat tonight! I think he would have been very happy to hear what Margret had to say about Eva and about him!

  156. Attitude/Candy says:

    are we staying here?

  157. Kristin says:

    I just don’t know why that got me so choked up. I think I was thinking of my sisters at the time and the thought of losing one of them. I love that she loved those songs too!

  158. scott says:

    I hope David gets the chance to talk to Margret! Can you imagine a virtual duet?!

  159. ♥ heartsong ♫ says:

    Kristin – I thought about that too. I wondered if any of the Archuleta’s were able to sit in. I hope so. What an incredible experience this was.

  160. Kristin says:

    157/Candy-I’m staying here!

  161. Attitude/Candy says:

    WOW> for me personally that was a little piece of Heaven! David and Eva are my two favorite artists and to be a part of that chat was more then I could have ever imagined!!

  162. Yo, Candy! We seem to have lots of men tonight

  163. sgj says:

    SOUND THE FIRE ALARM!!!! THOSE LIPS!!!!!! http://www.snarkyarchies.com/2008/10/part-two.html
    (THIS HAS GOT TO BE ONE OF THE MOST IMPRESSIVE COLLECTIONS – JUST THE ARCHUGAZE MISSING)

  164. ♥ heartsong ♫ says:

    scott – I would sooo love a virtual duet. One where David performs around Eva, adding harmonies and playing off of what she has recorded. I would be in heaven!

  165. scott says:

    I really have to get her new album.

  166. Attitude/Candy says:

    Oh Scott- after tonight I feel a virtual duet is a strong possibility! Can you imagine david reading that chat someday!

  167. Kristin says:

    163/Joanie-Oh, really. . . . . . . . .lol

  168. Hey, Kristin: Hooray, tickets to the game! I knew you just needed to use your “feminine wiles” on your husband and it was a done deal!

  169. Kristin says:

    169/Joanie-Yup, my feminine wiles worked over the phone! oooohhhhhh

  170. ♥ heartsong ♫ says:

    Kristin – Are you going to the game?

  171. Attitude/Candy says:

    her new album “Somewhere” is amazing!

  172. Kristin says:

    heartsong-Yup, my husband and I are going and taking our 12 year old son! Woot!!!

  173. ♥ heartsong ♫ says:

    CandyTude – Do you have Somewhere? I’m going to have to get it.

  174. #168 Kristin! Now you know very well what I meant young lady…lol But, I see what you mean! ROTFL

  175. Kristin says:

    I’ve really got to download/purchase some of Eva’s music! She sings with her soul like David and really touches me!

  176. ♥ heartsong ♫ says:

    Kristin – I can’t believe it!! How exciting! You’ll get to hear him live again before the rest of us. You’ll have to come back and report!!

  177. Are we sure the person who posted as “Guest” wasn’t really David? Hmmmm?

  178. Attitude/Candy says:

    I am praying that david gets to see that chat, hmmm wouldn’t surprise me one bit if david was lurking! Nope, not one bit!!

  179. ♥ heartsong ♫ says:

    joanie/178 – I wondered the same thing myself!

  180. Attitude/Candy says:

    heartsong, yes I ordered the album from her site.

  181. ♥ heartsong ♫ says:

    I barely got home in time for the chat! I was so afraid I was going to miss it. Gosh, I’m glad I didn’t!

  182. Kristin says:

    I should have paid more attention to what “Guest” was saying/asking. Brett was there. . . did you notice that?

  183. ♥ heartsong ♫ says:

    Kristin/184 – Yes, I saw Brett there…………..Hi Brett, if you’re lurking. Join in the continued fun!

  184. scott says:

    I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if he was? I hope he was!

  185. Attitude/Candy says:

    I literally felt like I was in Heaven! Hearing the voices of Angels while chatting with Marget tells me I was right!

  186. Either my posts were invisible or there was a backlog on the chat. I asked several questions which never appeared, even when there was nothing else coming in. And I sent questions ahead of time. The only thing that showed up was my Thanks to Margret. I don’t know what the problem was, but I was kind of disappointed that my questions didn’t show up. It was great to have Margret come to FOD, though.

  187. Kristin says:

    Brett. . . if you are here can you tell us if David got to sit in on the chat with Margret? If not, can you make sure that he sees it?

  188. ♥ heartsong ♫ says:

    David, if you’re lurking. We totally see why Eva’s such an inspiration to you. LOVE her voice and her music.

  189. Attitude/Candy says:

    186/me too scott, you know david would have been so thrilled to hear what Margret was saying!

  190. Kristin says:

    188/Joanie-That happened to me one time, I think with the Kat-chat! This time 2 of my questions got in, so I guess I got lucky!

  191. ♥ heartsong ♫ says:

    Aww, joanie…..many of my questions didn’t show up either. It was still great!

  192. scott says:

    I saw Brett was there and I think I saw Richard too.

  193. Kristin says:

    Hey everyone-Don’t forget to keep voting on VH1! Only one more day!

  194. Attitude/Candy says:

    Im thinking there is a good possibility that our MAN was there.

  195. ♥ heartsong ♫ says:

    I’m voting, I have another window open……….just so excited right now!!

  196. You can also buy albums and single songs on itunes. So you can individualize your very own album. There are about 100 or so songs listed for Eva. Sometimes listening to Eva is the only thing that can help me sleep. It’s magical.

  197. Kristin says:

    191/Candy-Don’t you know it! He would have been so touched!

  198. Kristin says:

    196/Candy-I’m getting shaky just thinking about it!!!

  199. Attitude/Candy says:

    I love “Wont Be Long!! Could you hear David rocking out in a duet with that song! Any of her songs actually!

  200. ♥ heartsong ♫ says:

    joanie/198 – Thanks! I have to check out iTunes before I go to bed tonight.

  201. Hey, you there, Brett?

  202. Attitude/Candy says:

    I wonder if they chat date with Margret was changed to accommodate someone’s schedule!! Would that be wonderful or what!

  203. scott says:

    “won’t be long ” is Awesome!

  204. ♫ ♥ VANESSA ♥ ♫ says:

    Why are you people in this thread, I was wandering where did everyone went to????

  205. ♥ heartsong ♫ says:

    CandyTude/204 – Like Kristin, I’m getting shaky just thinking about it!

  206. Shellie says:

    Wow, that chat was amazing!

    Thanks Margret, Gail, Jenny and everyone at FOD!! I hope David gets to read it (or already saw it) and I really hope that Margret gets to meet David soon. I know David would love to meet her!

  207. Attitude/Candy says:

    BRETT-CAN YOU JUST NOD OR SOMETHING TO LET US KNOW IF DAVID WAS THERE. WE PROMISE WE WONT TELL ANYONE!! WE NEED A SIGN!

  208. ♥ heartsong ♫ says:

    scott/205 – I LOVED ‘Won’t be Long’!

  209. Don’t you guys hear Eva’s influence in David’s singing? Eva’s phrasing is so unique and beautiful, and I hear that influence in David’s singing. It really sets them both apart as artists.

  210. Attitude/Candy says:

    VANESSA- where are the others?

  211. ♥ heartsong ♫ says:

    CandyTude/209 – I love it………..send us a sign……….. ☺

    hey ♥ Vanessa ♥ I wondered where you went!

  212. Brett? Did C. see me wave yesterday? She was intent on that dang can she was dragging!

  213. ♥ heartsong ♫ says:

    joanie/211 – I so agree! But then, each is his/her own artist, too! Unique in their own ways. We are so blessed to have had this opportunity tonight. Thanks again, FOD!!

  214. Kristin says:

    Vanessa-What thread were you on? Did you go to the live chat?

  215. Attitude/Candy says:

    joanie- I feel there is a real connection for david with Eva, more then just “I like her music” I think there is a connection of the souls, a understanding of their gift and the need to share it with others.

  216. ♫ ♥ VANESSA ♥ ♫ says:

    Hey MOVE to the other thread !!!!!!!

  217. ♥ heartsong ♫ says:

    CandyTude/217 – Well said.

  218. Hey, Vanessa! I saw you on the chat!

  219. Kristin says:

    The other thread? *goes to look*

  220. ♥ heartsong ♫ says:

    ♥ Vanessa ♥ What thread?

  221. Kristin says:

    Aren’t we all on the most recent thread?

  222. ♫ ♥ VANESSA ♥ ♫ says:

    Yes I did!! AMAZING!

    Candy / Joanie / Heartsong / Kristin / Scott move you booty!

  223. Attitude/Candy says:

    I would go so far as to say David and Eva are Musical and Spiritual “Soulmates”

  224. Attitude/Candy says:

    ok what thread are we chatting on?

  225. ♫ ♥ VANESSA ♥ ♫ says:

    Exclusive Q&A with Margret Cassidy Robinson (Thread) on the top right corner of FOD!

  226. ♥ heartsong ♫ says:

    Go to the new thread!

  227. ♥archarmy-soldier♥ says:

    people, new thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  228. Ed D says:

    Good evening all Archangels and Archroosters.

    I’m a big baseball fan (Toronto Blue Jays) and based on experience watching the game on tv, 7th inning stretch is the time for commercials, so I’m pretty sure that David’s singing God Bless America will not be shown on tv. You guys in Boston, MA and surrounding states should attend the game in person. If I were just in Boston, I surely will attend the game, no matter what the ticket cost is, 2 birds in one shot, I will enjoy the ball game I love most and will extremely enjoy the singing of our one and only world Idol, David Archuleta.

    But guys in Boston, it’s not yet too late to buy tickets for the game, but usually playoff game tickets are always sold out way in advance. I’m pretty sure the 7th inning stretch is not being televised. Just hope the sports tv will make an exception being the singer is our David. The game will also be shown live up here in Toronto, it being a playoff for the American League champion, so I will also watch and let’s see if we are gonna be lucky. Hope so.

  229. Noreen says:

    That will be so awesome to see David sing God Bless America. I can’t wait……

    Nov. 11th is National Archie Day – non-working holiday. Thank God I am on mat leave, I can keep up with anything Archie until March :) YaY!

  230. Naree says:

    hi rebeccarchiefan….
    I think this might be late but I sent u an e- mail
    … With fingers crossed

  231. Ed D says:

    God is so good, Nov 11 is holiday here in Canada, and yay, I can watch David on tv at the Today show. Woot woot woot! God is sooo good really!

  232. Ed D says:

    Ooops, correction, the game, the first of the ALCS, is gonna be in Tampa Bay, not in Boston.

  233. Pam says:

    oh my..can we take any more excitement! 11-11 just can’t come soon enough! I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas!! I sure hope the telecast the 7th inning..I don’t remember them really doing that at baseball games, but we can always hope! David will hit this out of the ballpark! go big “D”

  234. Lulu (Beat Tampa) says:

    Ah, I wish David was saying at Fenway. (He did sing Sweet Caroline on Idol) but I’ll take any Sox game.

    By the way, is rdsxfan still here?

  235. pattiNC says:

    WooHoo!! Two of my favorite things…David Archuleta and the Boston Red Sox…well we know Daniel is a fan, I wonder if David is also. Go SOX!! Go DAVID!!

  236. cvarchfan says:

    I was told that in tonight’s playoff game, the 7th inning stretch was televised, so keep your fingers crossed!

  237. Rae says:

    Actually the team changed their name and logo about 2 years ago. They are not the Devil Rays. They are the Rays, as my teenage son often corrects me. The on line tix prices are outrageous as would the scalpers be. I do have a really good friend going to the game…I just heard tonight he is singing and I am kicking myself because before the team made the playoffs- they called us about buying tickets– I will call my friend tomorrow and try to persuade her to tape David.

  238. BJ says:

    I am really nervous about David’s next appearance. Not nervous about his singing, I know it will be terrific as usual, but I am nervous with regard to his hair cut! Brooke White, I hope you did a good job, ha ha.

  239. Lisa says:

    I have a feeling they will show him singing GBA!

    How could they not it’s David singing what is more glorious than that!!!!!!!

    OMG I am going to be crying I just know it! lol

  240. Maureen says:

    Hi everybody,
    FYI – During the NLCS game between the Phillies and Dodgers last evening they did show the singing of God Bless America in the 7th inning. I was afraid that they would cut away to a commercial but they didn’t. This game was shown on FOX and tonight’s game in which David will be singing is on TBS. So hopefully they will do the same and not cut away to commercial.

    GO PHILLIES AND GO DAVID!

  241. LoriLynn says:

    I cannot wait to hear/see DAVID!!!!!!!!!
    I hope and pray that they will air his performance in its entirety!!!
    I got soooo upset reading the readers’ comments at the end of the Tampa Bay article. People still bashing our boy!!
    It’s mostly men, figures. They know us ladies love the boy and they just can’t handle the truth!!
    The rude things they say about him, it’s unbelievable! Saying, oh he didn’t win AI, he’s a loser, he will jinx the game. Gosh, get real people!!
    Anyhow…. *shakes self off and calms down*
    Our David is going to be INCREDIBLE!! We are all here rooting him on!
    (I could care a less about the game, since my Cubbies blew it, again!).

    WE LOVE YOU DAVID!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can u take ME out to da ballgame? Please! *whines*

  242.
