Adele, Senior Ball and Miranda all in 3 days!
Hi all. David here with another blog. So this week I got to go to the Adele concert!! Adele is amazing amazing amazing amazing, and she sounds so good live! James Morrison opened up for her, and he sings with so much soul. It’s so weird to see him perform because white people usually don’t sing like that haha. But anyway, I loved how Adele didn’t move around a whole lot when she performed.
She was all about the voice, and didn’t try to change that. What’s also cool is that it was at the Murray Theater in Murray, my home town! A few of my friends came with me too, so good times haha.
This Saturday was another extremely exciting day, because I got to go to Senior Ball at my high school!! I didn’t think I’d ever get another chance to go to a school dance, but I asked management and they gave the ok and made time in the schedule for me to go. I had soooo much fun! For our day activity, we had breakfast and then played games. We fit in a lot of them too. We played dodge ball, basketball, musical chairs, apples to apples, and crab soccer. I got a good work out from the crab soccer too haha. We rocked out at the dance too, and even though I sweat so bad it was worth it.
The girl I got to go with was awesome too. After the dance we all watched Mall Cop, but I kept falling asleep lol. I was so tired.
And I had to wake up early in the morning anyway for a flight.
So yesterday, we flew back down to LA, and I did some things for Nickelodeon with Miranda Cosgrove. It was something that involved more lines to say, haha. So I was really nervous before we started, but once we got going I had so much fun! It felt like Miranda and I just hung out all day long, and she’s such a nice girl. But yeah, the lines were for Crush Night that’s coming up on February 7th! The day of my acting debut.. when the episode of iCarly I’m on airs. It really is so much fun working with all of them on that show. I wasn’t sure if I’d get to work with them anytime soon, so when I heard I was going to be working with Miranda Sunday, I was pumped! haha. But yeah, I’ll stop talking about that and save it for the week it comes on. But keep that on your calendars! It’s a big day haha. Well for me anyway. But yeah I wrote an awfully lot in this blog. But it was a big weekend! Adele, the school dance, and Miranda all in 3 days. But I will post some pictures for you guys. Bye bye.
Song of the week: Adele “Best for Last.” Her album is my favorite right now!

David Touring with Lesley Roy and Performing With Charise (?)
Sources have led to us to guess that David might be touring with Lesley Roy (Lesley may be opening for David?) and perhaps performing with Charice Pempengco at some point on tour!
Lesley Roy is a 21-year-old from Balbriggan, Ireland signed to the Religion Music/Jive labels. Jive describes her album, Unbeautiful, as running the gamut from “hook-saturated power pop (the breakout lead single, “I’m Gone I’m Going”) to stratosphere-climbing ballads (“Slow Goodbye,” “Thinking Out Loud”), all the while reflecting Lesley’s ability to express a lifetime’s worth of emotion with a voice that’s equally powerful at both ends of the scale.” Her voice has been described as “a cross between Avril Lavigne and Melissa Etheridge.”
Her debut album Unbeautiful was released September 30, 2008 and peaked at #5 on Billboard’s Top Heatseakers Chart. A little background from Wikipedia: “She sang vocals on the Bowling for Soup song “Much More Beautiful Person” on their album The Great Burrito Extortion Case. Her single “There’ll Be Angels” is featured in the Warner Bros. film Last Hour. It was released as a single in early 2008. Her song “I’m Gone, I’m Going” received airplay in the United States. It was the 48th most played song on Hot AC radio stations for the week ending June 24, 2008, and peaked at #61 on Billboard’s Pop 100 Airplay chart. It was featured on an episode of The Hills.
Watch Lesley performing live (girl can play guitar!)
And of course, you can find her official site on YouTube.
And Charice! We’ve reported that Charice Pempengco developed a celebrity crush on David after meeting him at the Macy’s Parade:
Charice has expressed a desire to sing with David, and that wish may be coming true!

National Ledger Article: David Talks About the Tour!
Great article here! David talks about the tour (and wonders if anyone will buy tickets…AS IF), tells a funny story about him running on an indoor track and 20 girls on a sports team starting to chase him, and clarifies that what he did on iCarly “wasn’t really acting.” (Thanks for the heads-up, Martha).
“Teen American Idol Star David Archuleta To Launch First Solo Tour
By Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith
Jan 26, 2009
American Idol breakout star David Archuleta will be launching his first solo tour at the end of February, and he admits he’s anxious. “Hopefully, I’ll be ready, but I can’t help being nervous about it. It’s a really big step, and you wonder whether anyone will come out to see the shows, what songs to perform and all,” says the 18-year-old cutie.
Teen American Idol David Archuleta To Launch First Solo Tour
Teen American Idol David Archuleta To Launch First Solo Tour
There’s little doubt the teen idol, who’s racked up several hits and done the “American Idols” tour already, will prove a draw. He has a vast fan following, and has gotten used to crazy fan encounters.
Last week near his Utah home, for instance, “I was running on an indoor track and this girls’ sports team spotted me, and they started running with me and screaming. About 20 girls,” he tells us. He tried to tune them out. “I had my headphones on.”
The fans will get to see lots more Archuleta Feb. 7 — guesting as himself on Nickelodeon’s “iCarly,” and hosting the channel’s romance-themed night with “iCarly” star Miranda Cosgrove. “That was fun,” he says of doing the episode. “I don’t usually get to do work things with kids around my age, and that was great.”
He did ask for a change in the script that has him competing on a reality show. “I was supposed to say I hated this other person, but I don’t really hate anyone. Since I was playing myself, I didn’t want people to think I’d hate somebody,” he says. “That’s really not me. So we watered it down a little bit — ‘I don’t really like that person’ — and it was fine.”
As far as whether he’d like to try acting in the future, Archuleta says, “This wasn’t really acting, but it did give me a little taste of how it would be. I was surprised by how much I liked it and how much fun I had.”
