Either we’ve all gotten busy, Rascal, or you wit (and that idea) has left us stupified.

Chapstick should be so lucky as to enlist the talents of either you or David.

Rascal,

You are killing me. “The only one I allow on my lips.” Hilarious!

Someone really should contact Chap Stick for an endorsement deal.

I love the way David is experimenting with his ‘power’ – gauging reactions to what he does. He is doing it with the concert audiences, too. Plus, he, once again, is responding to a fan request. However, no one really had to twist his arm with this one, did they?

When he finally decides to use his charisma with intentionality – watch out!

Oh wow! I’ve never seen this before. It looks like a real photo of David with added work done to the hair and stuff. Can you give me a little more info. on how this was made? It’s beautiful!!!!!!! This site is always top notch. I love all the intelligent , thought provoking comments and just the wonderful observations of David which are so intricately detailed here. does that even sound right? Well, I love it. And I love David!!!!!!!Can he just keep traveling around the country and visiting all his fans who love him so much forever. I don’t want anything about him to stop. He is so dang fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I absolutely love this video. I can’t stop watching it. He is so Archadorable! I love the look on the faces of the security people that are watching this whole thing go down. They’re like, “this kid’s got them in the palm of his hand” and THEY ARE CORRECT!!

Yeah, Jesse, didn’t I tell you we’re pitching Wyeth Pharmaceuticals? Oh, must have slipped my mind…

I’m wondering how long it will be before David is swamped with endorsement contracts? I have mixed feelings on this. On the one hand seeing that beautiful image everywhere would satisfy those of us fan freaks; on the other hand, the ads if he decides to do any should only be of the highest quality and something that David believes in. I don’t want anything to diminish his essence.

But it’s Davids life and, sorry I get protective. He is absolutely gloriously unique and I hope we never lose that.

Hope somebody guides him through some of this stuff sure to come in the future. Hint, hint.

Chapstick, Targets, nutter butters, the possibilities are endless!

What makes you guys think that David has a girlfriend? I’m good with it. He’s human and will be finding a main squeeze before long if not now. I just haven’t read or heard any evidence of it. Refer me, please, someone. I have to keep up with my Idol, ya know!

On another note, I read a cute quote over at rickey’s. Thought I’d share it you all:

Funny, relevant, parts of a review from a Cookie fan at MJs:

“On Sunday I earned The Coolest Person award (and a special place in heaven.) I volunteered to take a co-worker’s 11-year old daughter (referred to as The Kid) to the American Idol concert in Minneapolis, MN. She was going to be my Beard (my cover-up for going to the concert.)

Pre-Concert:

David Archuleta – Or most appropriately summed with “Oh My God It Is David Archuleta!” Yup, I was surrounded by Archie’s Angels (save me!) Okay, you are only going to hear this from me this one time…Dude. Was. Amazing. He was so sweet and took his time with everyone. He really connected with fans, chatted with them, asked how people were doing and made eye contact. After meeting five idols he had to be the most personable one (I will probably get struck by lightening for saying that about anyone besides David Cook – who is my favorite.) When he got to The Kid he signed her paper and asked if she wanted a picture. Then he asked if she was having fun. The Kid, bless her little heart isn’t the biggest Archuleta fan but I think she got caught up in the same phenomenon I did, giggled. He came back after a few moments and checked on her again and made sure she had a good photo and such. As my Grams would say, he’s a nice boy.

The concert:

David Archuleta – And…I am old. The girls behind us were screaming and jumping and squealing that high-pitch scream that only small dogs and long-suffering adults can hear. First things first (before I get to my mocking) he sounded great. Otherwise I was distracted by his coughing (poor thing), the fact he sang doubled-over, and the Aw Shucks factor. Oh, and yes he did giggle.

After-concert pain in the…

The Kid really wanted to get Syesha’s autograph (and who was I to stomp on a little girl’s dream) so we went outside and lined up for another round of autographs. Maybe it was the heat, maybe it was the sugar, maybe it was the cranky adults but it was freaking INSANE. The Kid was shoved up front against a barrier and I would ever-so-often lean over to make sure she was still alive. (Yep, stellar babysitting skills.) After waiting for an hour and a half we only saw Kristy Lee Cook, Brooke White, Jason Castro and yes…David Archuleta.”

We love him for good reason! Even non-fans will get there eventually! (Then they’ll get the hunkerdown mania.) Until then, we’ll be carrying the water for David. All in time. All in time.

Bookaholic — I confess I am completely baffled by your comment. Who said anything about a girlfriend???

it’s toooooo lovely!!! ha ha ha!!! I LOVE it… second thoughts, will that be a little pity? Only Chap Stick is allowed… lol.

Rascal, as you and others know, David was given a hard time by a lot of people for his lip licking habit during AI. A lot of people have habits, such as biting nails or licking lips, LOL, but if you think about this…if ChapStick or Jive was smart…they could totally turn this around and make mega bucks!! Sometimes if you bring more attention to something, but in a postitive way, it can turn out to be for your benefit. This would show the public that David is an out going fun person, and that he does not care to joke around about things that he or others may do. Afterall, David is good looking, talented, young, and has one heck of a smile!!! What do you think Rascal?

Somebody should track the sales/stock in ” Chapstick”. Seems to me, spearmint might be the flavor to watch! I think I’ll buy some for the kids stockings for Christmas!

When I saw this picture with David and Chapstick I was reminded of days gone by with the Breck girls. Does anyone remember them? They were like a drawn photograph. I collected them , named them and made up stories about them. Now the story of this young man has already been set. I am constantly charmed by his attention to his fans, his wish to perform well even when not feeling well, and his great talent. He is one of those real people who just radiates joy and goodness. We are going to miss our daily interaction with his life. And he is so interested in his fans I think he will miss us also. He is going to be very busy finishing up his album. Then hopefully he will enter our lives again as he promotes it.

Rascal,
I love it! i love it! i love it!

And my dear Rabid, to paraphrase Randy. “Dawg, if you can draw an angel, you can draw anything! That’s one hot, molten lava!” Haha… sorry I was re-visiting AI episodes yesterday…. those were the days…. Kid knows what he is doing. Such a tease!

Oh and I remember this one video of a fan asking David for his chapstick and his reaction was priceless esp how he said NO -- hahahaha!

That could be part 2 of the ad, like it is a series w/ a tagline:
Me & my Chapstick -- this is not just lip service
or something to that effect You know what i mean!

Currently, David’s Crush Kids’ Cancer team on Stand Up to Cancer is #2 in total money raising. The top two are announced on the show tomorrow night. The #3 team is about $2,800 behind us. I really want David’s name broadcast on national television. The show will be on ABC, NBC and CBS simultaneously.

The #1 team has had 65 people donate, the #3 team had 27 people donate. David has inspired 520 people to get involved and give! I’m proud to be associated with such a wonderful guy and his awesome fans. I hadn’t originally planned to donate coz I give at Church and other places, but I couldn’t hold out. I want to do whatever I can to see David put in front of the public, and you could hardly find a better place to be supportive.

I’ve had cancer and beat it. My mom and grandmother both died of it. My dad had it. AIDS is terrible, but you can take some measures to avoid it. Cancer almost drops out of the sky. You can try really hard to live a healthy lifestyle and still have to battle it. And, it’s so widespread! Anyway, we have until 7 am Pacific Time, 10 am Eastern Time to donate. If you’ve been thinking about it, now is the time to act! If you’re unsure how to go about it, go to Fans of David for step-by-step instructions insuring that David’s team gets the credit.

I can just see David smiling, awed, just touched that he’d inspired such an outpouring--even shedding a few secret tears. He’s that kinda guy.

oh man, this is great stuff! big thanks for sharing! jive management should learn from this. really classic approach, choice of pensive stance, dark backdrop without being gloomy, instead, way coolness!
this is a wow! wish david james would bump into it!

That was really funny, and it would make a good ad too. I like the way you try to uncover David’s more mature side.

NEVER BEEN A CHAPSTICK LOVER, BUT GUESS WHAT…..I AM NOW!!

CHAPSTICK SALES ARE PROBABLY GOING UP RIGHT NOW.

Just like CD sales have gone up for Lenon, Elvis, Grobin and countless other artists after David sang their songs.

Everything he touches is GOLDEN!
