I Need A Silent Night Poll
I must say, at first this song didn’t really stand out to me among the jazzy amazingness of This Christmas, the festive Sleigh Ride or the reverence of Ave Maria or Silent Night, but this was David singing, so that fact alone made this song totally legit. I remember it being sung by Amy Grant, and her version sounds more like a mom singing about the hectic blur of the Christmas season in all its materialistic plastic-santa-and-reindeer-on-the-roof glory while she struggles to return to simpler times.
However, when David sings it, he infuses the song with a heartfelt yearning to slow down and savor the miracle of the season – to reflect on the reason we are celebrating at all and to end each crazy day with a silent night. This is now one of my favorite songs!
Immerse yourself in the wonder of the MKOC Tour then vote for your fave version!

Blog Heaven!
The lead pic is courtesy of naughtiest from a blog called This Drying Ink. I stumbled upon this blog while surfing the net looking for pics of David, and was excited to see that the author was capturing the trip & concert details from both Ventura and Anaheim, shows that I also attended! The recap is funny and well written and chock full of amazing pics from both concerts! I see Tina in some of these pics and I remember seeing this group of friends crossing the street at Ventura – what a small world!

David’s EH Finishes at #2 Spot on Musiqtone Poll
Great job Go-Getters! David just entered the poll 2 weeks ago and he finishes in second place! He sure gave TSwift a run for her money and Biebs and 1D did not make the Top 3 leader board.
Musiqtone Poll: Music Vid of the Year!
This is a little different from the Countdown Poll – you only get 100 total votes between computer and mobile phone voting per day, so Go-Getters lets get going! Every vote counts to get to the next Top 12 bracket!

Sounds of David Event
Have you purchased your ticket to this great event? It’s a fundraiser and fan mixer event all rolled into one! There will be an auction, and you can bid on this great David Archuleta VIP Christmas ornament!
























Kalei good morning!! I see my David ornament! was so happy finding it again as I thought it was lost forever. hmm.. seems like it popped up right at the best time!
thank you for this fabulous thread!!
lol if one were ever to find it on ebay wonder how much it would go for?
priceless way I see it!
lct did read and post there about dangitdavid going to a JB concert. he is famous for a reason way I see it like other artists out there today. seems to give the young girls what they are looking for I suppose.
ha abs!
the dancing part of her post intrigued me. there are artists that can dance and sing at the same time. like Beyonce for example.
this is my fav performance this year.. utterly amazing and love that David likes her too.
Pink’s song Try is amazing and obviously she can sing and dance at the same time.
would love to see David cover this song one day.
oh and would really love for David to go for it one day and dance more.
never know he can do it if he wishes.. just has to try.
Pink did.
from the AMAs.

Took me forever to decide on the ZG poll….now it’s INASN….tough, tough, tough!
kimk–David will do more dancing on his next shows….I can feel it…haha….think we should dance with him and get crazy to motivate him!
Love the smexy “Smiles” collage/gif from Sam…

Hey everyone!
Kimk thanks so much for cheering me up! My problem is that we are trimming the tree – my husband is now loving David’s Christmas CD and wants to keep playing it but NOW it makes me very sad because I’m missing him. Love that my husband wants to play it all the time but I don’t want to let him see me feeling down. Fraid he’ll ask me why and think I’m losing it! Although we know I am.
Kimk, can you give us directions on how to DM on twitter?
“Hi!” (wow, lots of people here to see me, cool!)…..

I haven’t seen this in a long time, @DavidArchie ‘s best Pat-A-Pan performance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHGXOs2g49U …
lct next to the white search box up top right is what looks like a cog. click on it.
click on direct messages and it will pop try! try it first!
aww.. understand about missing him and listening and watching his vids but think that is good too? keeps the embers burning way I see it!!
sarahhazel oh I know he can dance and sing at the same time. he really is quite gifted and just think all he has to try and go for it. ha DWTS would be nice!!!
as for us inspiring him when he gets back.. OK BY ME!!
ha always do anyway. not a chair sitter at a concert.
as for dancing.. urgh I stink but who cares!
kimk–me too…it’s kinda boring when peeps just sit and watch…..haha….move, people, move!!!
Thanks Kimk, I’ll try it!
What better place but a latin country like Chile to practice moves!
I’m hoping that if there is one think David brings back with him – that would be confidence in himself! Confidence and “feel good about his body enough to shake it!”
also hope to see David on a tv show like Glee or Smash one day.. Jessica Sanchez will be on the show I think this season?
Lea Michelle sang O Holy Night last week and it was amazing!
can only imagine what the buzz for be with David on it!!
http://youtu.be/B0yaQAAqHbY
gave me chills!
would love to see David on Broadway too!
ha honestly want to see him all over!
miss him a TON!!
lct ha I shutter to even think about it!! swoons at the thought!!!!

My day hasn’t even really started and I just know it’s going to be one of those days. Lots to do. So, in honor of my day ahead, the video pick of the day is Crazy in Kuala Lumpur; July 2011. David tells the audience to “shhhhh” before he sings. I need to tell my day to “shhhh”.

Now i will go back & catch up on vids & tumblers, before i get busy around the house
35% of David’s mission is done! (35% of 730 is 255.5 days)
Sarahazel, how did we miss that article about his book?!? Now we can’t comment – it’s closed!
I just put in another 100 votes.

As for all the comments on his hand motions, Hey!! Thats our David.
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiloved it, need to watch over and over again as soon as i have down time.
Linda–
Have to run an errand BRB.
sarah – in regards to the article on Chords of Strength, that’s an article generator site that posted it. They pull their content from other sources to generate hits. In this case, the content is from that PenguingGroupUSA video. If you go directly to the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wqqdWWvwew you’ll see the text of the “article” in the info section under the video (click on Show more) and the comments from the article are comments pulled from the YT video. Comments can still be added there if you want.
And the number in the article title and on the YT video title are the ISBN number for the book.
Hope everyone is having a great Saturday!
Hey kimk! I DM’d you, I think
You have something???
Ali–LOL…no wonder those #s look familiar…..thanks so much for the info…..we learn something new here everyday….esp. from smart Archucookies like you!

Hi, Beth!…..kimk has something…..a secret???…..mish info???
Hey sarahhazel, Maybe, not sure, hoping, lol. Her comment at 12:22, says if anyone wants to dm her, he has something, so I thought, yes, of course I do, lol.
Beth–OK…..but can she just share it via Archucodespeak?
sarahhazel, The bluebird flies west, when the apples fall from the tree on the third thursday, with a 3/4 moon. But, the eagle lands, when its tired flying into the northwest wind in October. Huh????
Beth–LOLOLOL…that’s more complicated than I thought…..a double “HUH???” from me…
Right now Kimk is my new best friend! She learned everything in kindergarten – she knows how to share!
Enjoy!
Beth you are too funny!

Christine ツ ❤ @pat_a_pan
Watched Glad Christmas Tidings for the first time today. Missing @DavidArchie so much now!
sarahhazel think so. not sure.
Linda, why did I think that you could vote every 12 hours? was that the case on cycle 48, why does it keep on letting us vote if we are only allowed 100 votes a day? I’m going to keep on voting as long as it lets me. Maybe somebody has the answer, don’t want to keep on voting if it doesn’t count.
No Rainbow today either. Going to try and vote on INASN video for virtue concert.

kimk–Eeeekk!!! I almost died!!! THANKS SO MUCH!!! (& thanks to Martha too!)
I love #2 pic the most….but they’re all gah-geous!!!
sarahhazel ha yup. lucky peeps for sure!!
They actually livestreamed it???
Lisa #DA2014 @txarchie
I am so pleased that the LDS church streamed the concert with @DavidArchie from Chile! I missed it, but I’m thrilled for those who saw it!!
Priscilla @xarchieloverx
@DavidArchie did you get a tan? You looked tanned today, its not a bad thing tho:)
Livestream? Whhhhyyyy didn’t anyone tell??? I could have made a great copy of it!
i saw someone post the link to the live stream but when i tried the link it took me to an app thingy so i did not do it or share it cuz i didn’t know what it was or how to do it
jackryan I missed it.. they might replay it?
jackryan–have no idea either….they said The Voice had a live chat during the Devotional….don’t know if there was an actual livestream with that……& of course, ya can’t get 1st-hand info from here…..LOL
next time (and hopefully there is a next time) i will RT it even if i don’t know what it is.
i just RTed the tweet i saw earlier tonite
Somebody PLEASE tell us if there’s a livestream or a replay if they happen to get info, OK?…..Ya know we’ll take any morsel we can get…..
sarahhazel aww.. hugs. have a feeling we will get to see it?
kimk–thanks….hope so…..
sarah – yes, it was a live stream from the lds.org site — the official church site. you had to run the stream through a media player to watch it though.
OMJ!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT? WHAT? The day I decide not to come on here is the day there is a possible live stream somewhere. What the heck? Cries!!!!!!!
Please let it be rebroadcast somewhere. PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Oh thanks for all the pics guys.
.you guys are cracking me up….the thingy!!……oh.my.heck!!!!!…..thank you somebody!! ….makes my day, and my night!
Beth and tamilyn, thanksfor the weather forecast……good thing I check FOD…my place for news, (D), sports, (following D is kinda like a sport)”
AND weather! Been so busy all day i wouldnt have known without ya. love snow in dec…..it’s march that I don’t! Bundle up guys!
Will it still be on the lds site???? Anyone knows? Runs to look! OMGAWD!!!!!!!
Livestream??!!!!!!! How did we miss that?!?
I was told about it while I was shopping with my 24 yo daughter and my granddaughter. At times while I was resting and she was shopping, I tried to click the link and it wouldn’t work on my iPhone. Missed opportunity.
Janel was it on the lds.org site or was it on the Chile site? I am still looking and can’t find it?
I can’t find it….can anyone? If this one was…… makes me think another one will be?!!!! oh, happy day!!!! don’t even care that my FEE didn’t come!….this trumps that for the moment.
It was a stream from the lds.org site. They don’t put live videos up immediately but I do see some there that were added later. Not sure if they’ll add it to their videos or not but it’s worth keeping an eye out.
Ali – it sure is nice to have a tech wizard here. You are amazing. Thanks.
The link where it was is currently showing conference talks. It has “lds.org” in the web addy, so I’m really not sure. Someone else shared it with me.
LOL I would be more amazing if I’d managed to record it myself. Sadly, I did not. But, like all optimists, I’m holding out hope!!!
Thank you Ali! So maybe they will put it up? Crosses fingers and toes that they do. lols….
this was the link, but like I said, they are showing conference talks on it now. stream.lds.org/sas400
sure hoping they do!!
cut and paste the link to your browser.
Can someone send me the link? ALI – would you know the link? Pls send to JR4DA2012@gmail.com
Ok the link only works on some browsers. It worked on IE for me but not on WaterFox.
They are showing something else right now. lols… I guess we will have to wait for a rebroadcast or if they will put it on the main site. PLEASE!!!!!
JR – it’s the link that Janel just posted http://stream.lds.org/sas400
It’s a weird stream though. I’m using Chrome and that link just downloads as an .asf file. It will have to be opened in a media player like Windows Media Player or Real Player or VLC Player.
Did anyone actually see it on twitter? Any Archies? Anyone that can fill us in and give us a recap or something on twitter or another site? Desperation here, lols! I will probably get in trouble for this. But wait if it was a live broadcast from the lds.org site it is soooooo public right? I would think so.
JR, I sent you an email.
Sorry, I meant to say that you can then right-click on the .asf file and open it with a media player. Skipped that step in the previous comment lol.
Too bad. I could have recorded it…
S.I.G.H.
Here’s hoping for a replay
dailylurker there was a tweet in spanish that had the link. I saw it.
OMGosh KimK? Where is that person? Come talk to us, please!!!!!!!!!! lols
daily lurker….that’s pretty public, imo…..also, the canary looked like he was warbling outside……hmmmm.
Goodnight folks ….off to bed and leave this problem to smarter peeps than I. Good luck.
dailylurker lol. didn’t get to see it myself.
well at least folks will know we still love and want to see him.
rofl code!
The link I had played on Quicktime. Too bad I missed it
http://www.saladeprensamormona.cl/articulo/transmisi%C3%B3n-satelital-y-por-internet-del-concierto-de-navidad
Frankly, I’m stunned that the Church would broadcast the Devotional concert on a public website. I was under the impression that these concerts were private, top secret and not to be discussed, mentioned or breathed about anywhere. I think the Church will be getting some serious letters/emails of complaint from certain segments of David’s fanbase. I really hope these fans are careful in their criticism and do not offend the Church in the name of protecting David’s privacy. It could get ugly. If they really want to stop the Church, they may want to hire a litigator and get an injunction to prohibit the Church from broadcasting the Devotionals with David in order to protect his privacy and the sanctity of his mission experience. I’m sure peeps are setting up the legal fund now.
pleasant dreams guys.
know what I will be wishing for this eve.
Kimk if we had known this in ADVANCE, we would of crashed the lds.org site! LOLS……
mackenzie what? really aren’t you overdoing it.
think folks need some shuteye.
dailylurker aww just happy knowing he is singing. also hope they replay it.
I’m hoping mackenzie was just being sarcastic???
WTHECK MacKenzie? Really? I’m sure the peeps in Chile know what is going on and agreed to do that and I’m sure D knows too. Come on? Can’t we just be HAPPY with anything for a change? We are lucky that it happen and some people got to see it.
Maybe that was D’s X-Mas present to us.
That’s what I’m sticking with. lols……
Mango, I was totally being sarcastic. Sorry it did not come across in the post. I just found it hilarious that after all this talk about the importance of keeping the details of David’s concerts in Chile a secret, the Church broadcasts the Devotional on the internet. I have not laughed so hard in a very long time.
OK Mac you got me. LMAO!!!!!!!! hahahha……Thank goodness! It’s X-Mas time peeps, lets all be happy and merry.
Mckenzie – lol I just snorted out loud reading your post. I understand that some people felt like they were really trying to protect what they felt David was asking for but seriously if the church is streaming his show out to the entire world to see then I think maybe we should all take that cue and loosen up a bit. I’m not saying about every detail of his mission but a public performance is a public performance.
It was fine to talk about David singing with the MTC choir during general conference. So it should be fine to talk about this show that the LDS church felt fine to broadcast. But that’s just my humble opinion and I’ll stick to site rules until told otherwise
dailylurker – fyi i posted what little i know over at soul david. i stress the word little lol.
I totally got what you were saying, McKenzie. And, it was very funny. I have felt all along that the church would be happy to have the positive buzz around David’s singing. But, certain people always think they know better about what we should all be doing and thinking and talking about. Bless their little hearts.
Thank you Ali, just read it! PLEASE let there be a rebroadcast!
I am not sure this was a broadcast of David’s Concert that was held last night. I went and looked at the links and read what was said and it appears that this was a Christmas Concert from Santiago that was broadcast over the Church’s system to churches all over Chili. It appears David made an appearance and sang but there were a lot of other performances that went on. I think the broadcast was meant for members of the Church in Chili but the links were posted for people on the net who wanted to pick it up there.
Ok I just tried the link again and it opened for me on Waterfox this time. You just have to click on the windows media option and wait for it to load. lols….. No D right now of course.
This was the most exciting thing in a long time.
If anyone knows anything, please post it on twitter or anywhere and just shoot us a link and we will go there. THANK you in advance!!!!!!!!
Goodnight, sweet dreams!
Good evening/night/morning everyone. Am I reading right?there was a live stream of David singing in Chile?
