This is an amazing work of art!

oh man, that was great stuff! big thanks for the rework and for sharing! whooooooooooooooo! that was coolness and fun! really great stuff! now the best end track for his debut album would be a bonus track: an acoustic, really soulful version of crush (oh dang, that is gonna be soooo steaming hot!!).
whoooooooooooooooooo! the whole world is anxious of this kid’s debut album, the kid is gonna be sooo huge!

Ohmigosh! I am laughing and crying.

I would love to download this video as well as rascal’s fabulous remix of Imagine. Is this possible?

Thanks for this.
How about a bonus track of Angels in Spanish!!

Thank you thank you thank you. This is exactly what I have been waiting for. is there a mp3 format for this version? Please?

Fantastic video mix. X-factor, you are truly talented!

Rascal, I am lovin the gallery. Thats cool. And the countdown. You really know how to get our ODD ramped up, Huh?

I think David did stellar on this, his first live performance of Crush. He is such a natural. I think the tour was just thing to draw him out. His gestures and movements, his attention to the video recorders directed at him, the way he is warming to the crowd. Even though he was nervous (his statement), his banter with the audience before and after is so endearing. His voice is just incredible.

Rascal, where did you find the pic with the guitar hero glasses? I would like to put it in my personal david photo file. Thanks

David told a fan afterward during the signing that he was “super nervous” during Crush, but he did great! It was a joy to be there when he performed it. There was a gasp in the audience when he began describing “the next song” and we knew immediately that we were going to hear Crush!

Vanessa — I suggest you check x-factor’s YouTube account. It’s not mine to post there.

Rascal how do you find x-factor on youtube? Can you place a link to this for us technically challenged people thanks.

Rascal thank you so much for feeding my ODD daily.

Rascal
Double Hugs for the xfactor hint. David & Elvis-My two all tme favorite artists remixed and remastered. It doesn’t get any better then that! Oh, wait with David Archuleta it just might!

Thanks Rascal for the hint. X-factor doesn’t have it up anyway not that I can see. I guess I will just have to come here to watch on a regular basis. Thanks again.

Wow… just love love love this. He seemed so happy with the result and the bouncing up and down when thanking the crowd was endearing. He’s improved so much with the hands and eyes in delivery, all due I think to his light speed maturation process. And I can’t even go to the hotness factor. I saw two current teen mags that have small photos of him on the cover. Hearthrob status assured.

This is positively wonderful — the backing should be used in all David’s forthcoming promo appearances — hope attention is being paid by those who arrange such things.

Debra 5354,
I agree with your comment above about David’s performance skills. Thank God for the AI Tour! David has lost a lot of his reservations and improved by leaps and bounds. He ditched the one-handed out-to-the-side gesture for a more powerful clenched fist and danced and moved well on stage. Compare this with the stiff dance moves of “With You”.
Thanks to all who made the enhanced backing track possible. You can actually hear the lower harmonies of the chorus. David just needs to relax a bit more into the high belted “ay-ay-ay’s” (sorry -- still sounds strained). Maybe the next time if he performs it with backup it will free him up to do even more exciting ad-libs as opposed to having to literally sing every lead and supporting line in the song. Looking forward to the next performance. Knowing David’s musical instincts -- I’m sure he will work out all the technical kinks to become more comfortable with the song. Even after 53 opportunities “Angels” is still a work in progress for him:)

HOWDY BRETT!!! I don’t know if you’ll see this, but hope you do. Again we haven’t met but I feel like I know you and wanted to say HI back. Three days ago I received in the mail a postcard from David!! I had given him a small pencil portrait I drew of him and enclosed a short letter and a self addressed and stamped postcard. Knowing how he is one of the most humble persons around and how he may not know what to do with a hand-drawn portrait of himself, I wanted him to know it would be ok if he gave it to his mom. Well, he wrote back in the postcard that he would give the picture to his mom because she was there with him, haha. I got one of DA hahas in writing! It just put such a huge smile on my face. I hope Lupe liked the drawing of his son. Anyway, thank you coming here and visiting us fans! Yes, Go Big D!

Howdy Brett,
Thanks for the update about “D”.He seemed to be a well-hidden secret in Utah for a while and like a butterfly -- its nice to see his emergence to the world. i’m so glad that the A-Family is able to reap some success for all the hard work and support they have given David through all these years. He’s truly a talent for the ages at only only 17 -- WOW!

I hope that in future performances, David would exhibit a bit more joy singing the song as opposed to this tortured crooner, especially during the verses. It’s a light song and would be good if he doesn’t appear too serious singing it.
