rascal- If I comment on the photo, I will definitely have to RUN to my hiding spot …….. anyone want to come?

happy ~~start running..you are not alone…thats why it is posted…there is a reason. to all madess..haha..Oh and by the way..anyone notice the Upper lip action ..I am sensing a bit of ‘tude “going on..tease…hhmmmm….

dj- not the lip, please don’t look at the lip………….

Happy #3, he is for sure! And over at Snarkies, a J14 mag photo spread declares that David’s gone from “Dorky to Droolworthy” hahaha, so it’s the theme for the day!

happy — Baiting? Me? That would imply you need any help!

Great news fro Hits Daily Double. David sold 68+k albums this week, up 8% from last week. He is at 317k albums and should go gold by Jan 1.

And that photo….ummmm….I definitely think he knows what he is doing at this point in time…he is selling his music to teens and tweens and we are feeling the side effects -- - maybe Obama should set health care reform as a higher priority -- LOL

Great news Kizzi-really, really awesome.

rascal~ you are right…we don’t need any help, but someone to take some of the blame sometimes is nice …we like to share and some like to blame ME way too often…SO….thanks for the new Hot Photo !!

Josie~ You better be sitting douwn for this…….
Young David O Holy Night….

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JC2ouTZXKs

dj 16 -- SOO right you are….. I laugh when I think of the image…..

Rascal to self -- “what should I post as a new thread?……I will play them like a fiddle……. like a moth to a flame, they will be drawn….they can’t resist….. I’ll have a little fun with them…., they were a bit cranky from my last thread, this should set them off……”

with a smile he posts the picture, thinking….. “and then I will watch from a distance as they are carted away…..”

HI dj, yes, I’ve heard it -- it is my favorite Xmas hymn, and from David?????? words don’t do justice……

happy#20-- Spot on with paragraph 2 & 3 and I visualized in living color from your description--rascal is a master fisherman and we take the bait (sweet or sour) AHAHAHHA

yes, DJ the God Bless America, he was soo soulful when younger, so ahead of his time, have you noticed lots of Archugrowls at that age? wow. wow…………….

d.j.b.-how did I not know about this? And here I pride myself in thinking I had heard all things David. Yowzer.

thank you so much! a few octaves higher than Osmond’s thingie huh???

Now if only I could hear Joyful Joyful…oh please!

dj- aren’t you the little santa today….

happy~ where were you at 2am when the bombs dropped ???…You are not gonna see Santa if you go to bed early !!.. I was there when they magically appeared and had fun playng before you all woke up..haha….Merry Christmas to Me!! Thanks to KB and Becky over at FOD….

happy ~see I am really good. ..so don’t go blaming me when they cart y’all off the the slammer !!..LOL..

~Oh that pic…SMOKIN !!.. I can almost see that snarly lip quivering ….oh sorry..back to Christmas Music…Ra Pa.Rum PA Pum Pum…me and my Drum……

me too ..gotta fed the babes……

The young David is just amazing! We feel in love with him during Star Search days and just couldn’t believe such soul came out of him. At the time, David didn’t really even know himself why he sang the way he did and didn’t really have the really understanding and meaning of singing until now. What a gift!

So true Erin -- one of my favorites from his younger years is Nature Boy…that one is so beautiful sometimes I just weep.

Here’s an interview with David’s best friend Mietra. I was very lucky to meet her the night of rehearsal before she flew back to Utah. She is very sweet.
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=i-i83BF6JCU

Just got back from THE SESSIONS..where David sang to me again! So needless to say, I’m in total bliss!

Then viewed the Osmond concert vids again…I know asked this before..can you die from pure bliss? I need to know cuz I think I’m overdosing on pure bliss!

I had a really busy day and couldn’t check in until now.

Geez, Rascal, couldn’t you have put a warning ahead of that picture?

I….I….

Aye..yi…yi…

So, I know most of us here said we wouldn’t tune into AI Season 8, but here’s a spoiler list of some major contenders:
http://www.buddytv.com/articles/american-idol/american-idol-8-first-season-8-24970.aspx

I’m sharing here because, is it just me, or does this list indicate that David has already impacted on this show big time (apart from the obvious connection with auditions added in Utah)?

Joner~ go ahead..ENLARGE IT….oh and while you are there..check out that ..ummm….lip….”.Not A Hunk or anything”….Oh David really …OK you are just really really cute OK…Smokin Cute !

Erin ~42/43~ Mietra is such a sweetheart…David is very lucky to have such warmhearted loyal friends around him….

Oh djb~ did you really post ” fed the babes”? .talk about mush brain…. I gonna blame that one on rascal and his photos……

betsy~49/~BTW~ we will just throw you on the cart with ~happy…the sinners cart…..I hear stripes are in this season….I bake cakes with files and hairpins for all my slammer bound buddies….

djb -- betsy Sinners love company right??? I would prefer to wear my stripes vertically please as people have called me vertically challenged.

That pic sure does me in…Oh My Hunk!

awestruck/ 39~….I agree with you..I love them both for different or the same reasons?.?.stunning and so moving each of them… and Amazing Grace..I do not even know what to say or where to start…so I just leave it as WOW!!….a league of its own…..

David’s bowl is in a bidding war. Yay!

http://www.clothesoffourback.org/categories.php?cPath=1_156&sort_order=highest_bid_DESC&page=2

dj50- Me? A sinner? I accepted that reality about myself a long time ago ……. no joke…. but that picture is no sin, so I’ll pull the cart…… which is lucky for you….. that way you don’t have to walk…… and chickee and TOfan and betsy and joner and archiesfan4life and awestruck and HG and SF and…. hop on……..

rascal- since you started it, will you bring us the files and hairpins?

djb -- happy is pushing the cart… HURRY we better move fast we won’t have a ride!

It is NOT a good thing to be wishing my life away especially considering I am already an almost Golden Archie, but I would really really love to have David’s spiritual CD in my hands right now.

Hi All,
sooo happy to see the party in full swing here. Betsey, the nuns of my grammar school days are haunting me too today. Sinner………….hmmm. I hear ‘ya. They knew how to lay the guilt on. If they were here today, wouldn’t we all get a crack across the knuckles with “That” ruler. oh yeah…………

hmmmmmm dj, spiritual entertainment, yeah,,, a girl can dream can’t she? ahhhhhhhhh

how low is the bar set tonight? I think I can crawl over it……..are the lips off limits?

why little ‘ole me NEVER got cracked across the knuckles, perfect little Catholic girl, me, and then along came DJ……………jeez louise, what the heck happened? uh, oh, here comes my husband about to lurk behind me and see what I’m typing. hahaha……..

Chickee -- My oldest sister was regularly sprinkled with holy water as she could not control her laughter! They would sprinkle her and she would laugh all the harder. She thought it was so ridiculous even then. We still laugh about it.
Although if they saw David, they may have rethought their “vows”!
(I felt very creepy just now. Will have to atone for the comment and feel immense guilt for the rest of my days)
Not kidding, they did a number on me!

betsy70- feel the thrill of a little innocent cyber innuendo!! Live large betsy…. live large!!

speaking of which….. Joner, what happened when you “clicked for a larger view?”

Too much guilt to go to confession!

happy -- joner has passed out after looking at the larger view… we need to send help quickly.

djb -- see what David made you do?!?

btw, HG, I clicked on the link you mentioned regarding the AI season 8, and I was really surprised at the names. Dean Kaelin’s daughter? can’t wait to see her. Could have done without the nasty remarks about Jason Castro however. Where do they come up with this stuff?

happy, parted lips, OMG………………I think we all better head for the hills right now…………yikes………what would the nuns think? Betsy????????

Someone PULEASE give me some links to videos of David when he looks like a goofy, giggly, awkward kid….I need something to counteract the impact of that OTHER picture…..

I will never ENLARGE again….I will never ENLARGE again…I will never….

Re David’s lips I don’t think I can go there… paddles ready?

OMG joner……… that was too much to lob back!!!!!!!

MY EYES!!!! MY EYES!!! lol

bringing in the riot gear, just in case the arbiters start to throw stones…..

I think it would be appropriate for SF to say her prayer now….FOR US!

The arbiters can go to a warm place.

LOOK ..Baby ADAM is looking at us all in amazement !!

and then go up and look at Davids Eyes !!.. What would he think ??…..

dj- he’d think …… “I guess my parted lips did a number on them…..”

i left for 2 minutes and missed all the fun, man, you guys ARE DEFINITELY on fire tonight, baby Adam?????????
HOLY COW!!!!!

CHICKEE!!!

happy~ OMG…yes! you are right..He would be thinking…..”note to self”--”parted lips and smokin eyes” slays em everytime !!! check check check……

awestruck103- not going to bed in the middle of the party….. just running out….bbl

I bet I can guess Happy’s new avatar!

PUULLEASE Happy do NOT change your avi. You just changed it for me……………….

betsy~ #108~~~oh nooo..not the lips….she is outta control….

Amazing Grace ~ the hunkered down version !! what can you say ??

chickee~ keep praying for that Christmas single that has been mentioned for this year!!..Whats so hard about a single??…he can do that in a day !!..he is David..and if he feels the urge to spoil us with a bonus track with that single well..I think we could handle it….and be very grateful..!!

DJ, while I’m at church tomorrow, I’ll say a prayer for the single, and yeah, a bonus track with it. Sure, no prob.

hi mamasaun, no nuns? well, they were interesting, to say the least!

for him to sing from afar

Glad to read that you are all having a ball! Much on my plate right now and am missing the non-stop luvin’ party here! Well, carry on

awestruck..awwww..love it

hey jackryan we’ll catch you next time!

Hi JR, aren’t you going to tell us to go vote? speaking of which, I really should go do some of it.

or perhaps it will be Mary Did You Know
a soothing melody for us to enjoy
sung with tenderness and more
of a child, a boy

and there were no rulers involved….I am just good…all goodness.. !!

time’s up……..

Bless them father, for they know not what they do! I had nothing to do with anything tonight! I happened to have my avatar for a couple days now..no one was the wiser. It’s just that when we see a life-sized head shot of David’s beautiful HEAD ( notice I didn’t mention lips or eyes?), we kinda lose our senses and rascal knows it! So again, I say to you..I’m innocent!

oh no!!! chickee- we missed each other!!! well, I’ll pray for you….

SF- I hope you are not mad that I borrowed part of your avi….. although I can’t get the dang thing to show up!!!! must be karma……

happy !! …you are back….we know what you have been up to ….

manitobaskyline -- if you go to you tube and scroll down there is one video that works -- it says it is Amazing Grace, but it is OHN

I think I downloaded these to my computer -- I’ll check and let you know if I have them.

manitobaskyline -- ask and ye shall receive

O HOLY NIGHT.flv

AMAZING GRACE.flv
http://www.sendspace.com/file/69aotg

chikeeAs if you guys need reminding am sure you know what to do! Look at happy and djb — they never fail to warm up the par-tay and they have even recruited joner to boot! Nuns and spiritual entertainment, haha.

good night SF. Amen.

TOfan149- LOL, yep… big enough for all of us….but i think dj should help with the pullin’- it’s getting heavy……. she thinks she redeemed herself because she talked about Amazing Grace for a minute…. then she called it the “hunkered down version” and lost all credibility……..

David’s lips need some chapstick, any volunteers? (A)

Has anyone ever thought about compiling a book of your comments? They are dramatic, visual, rather exciting and if you don’t know what the excitement is about then you will try to find out…Publish a book and call it simply…DAVID, IN OUR EYES…it will be comical and will be a great seller……Photos of course..and storys from those haunted by his music and charm…and worldwide acclaim…

manitobaskyline` try this for Amazing Grace video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCO9QmnknmI

.they are removing the videos from all sites….move fast..

happy~ consider yourself wacked with my ruler !!

Quick! Quick! Cook is ahead!

http://www.popeater.com/television/article/popeaters-best-of-2008-polls/256855

Thank you so much jackryan. They were amazing. Too bad the Osmonds were singing. Would have loved to hear David sing both those songs alone.

smand160- we’re all too busy watching the “hunker-downed Amazing Grace” to vote….

nice dj…. but what about me? we’ve been through so much together and I have no downloads…….. just me…… pullin’ the cart….. with no spirit-chal music……

see what happens when you stray happy …whack.!! I can hum for you….AAAmmaazzingg Grraaace.mmmm

TOfan159- I’m afraid to ask, but…… what’s your blog?

happy ~~DOWNLOAD QUICK.. my link at # 156 transfer to disk or iPod..quickly if you have access…GO GO

dj169- YOUR lips????? ….are they full? are they pouty? does a perfect voice come out of them? do they quiver? are they parted? if not, then …… I’ll stick with these…….

happy I do not see your avi change ??…I’m just saying I can fill in singing Amazing Grace since you do not have the link anymore….what are friends for anyway??

dj- how am I supposed to get a picture of your lips for my avi?

rena~ you need a converter software….google “youtube downloader”..it is free.. and go from there it is pretty simple..or you can buy a program…123movies2iPod..it will convert youtube videos to your iPod…I suggest the free one…..it is simple….

rena~ once you have the converted files on your computer I would suggest burning files to a disk for backup…..

Thanks djb -- I will try it and maybe it will give me the video too --
I went to snarkyarchies -- scrolled down a bit and there are the mp3 to download by just clicking on -- no photo but at least the sound.

ok I downloaded the you tube downloader -- now what ???

dj183- don’t tell anyone…. I don’t want the white coats to find me….. laokane@comcast.net

ok- all these links and websites…. I can’t keep up… first what is that “official web site” at http://davidarchuletanetwork.ning.com/ ……is that really official? they should be shot if it is……

and TOfan…… I LOVE YOU……..
……… AND YOUR BLOG !!!

Awww, thanks, Happy, right back at ‘ya!

And, sadly, I think that site is official.

Thanks for the links and the craziness and all that fun stuff, ‘night all!

Happy #191, “cheer”? Is that what we’re calling it now….?

No, going now, for reals. Bonne nuit!

Happy~ check on the links above at 193….you can view them there…so they say..

I hate to bail early, but…. I need my beauty sleep…….

happy I have a mac and the you tube downloader worked -- however -- it does not tell me what or how to copy and paste

sorry -- happy -- the downloader did not work on my mac

dj201- thanks.

hope some links are still up tomorrow…… but, for now….

Revel at how deeper his voice has become in just a year!

HAPPY -- great minds think alike? hehehehe. Of course I would have to include his killer eyes. Got to have the complete package SF won’t get jealous. In fact am sure she will have a kick out of it

READMYMIND -- that is a good but very “dangerous” idea!

Have to go back to work.. hopefully when I return, some vids of the Gala performance have been uploaded. SIGH

Ciao everyone!

They are pulling down the uploaded vids of the concert because I think a DVD will be available sometime soon, so don’t despair — at least we have a better chance to see David’s complete participation

We better watch out…Priscilla is trying to snare the next KING LOL!!! Take a look!!!

He is such a flirt!

Happy, just to make your head cave in with yet another piece of *helpful* advice… I suggest you also download the VLC Player (free) — (Google it) — and keep it handy on your computer. It plays EVERYTHING. (So when you download an flv. … or anything else, pretty much, you can have immediate gratification — play the file right away.) VLC won’t convert an flv to an mp3 or mp4, etc (unless a newer version than I have does so) but it plays everything. (I prolly gave you a headache with this *helpful* info. Should I upload some aspirin for you?)

More pics

Chickee#80, it’s tempting to check out a few AI8 episodes, just to see the David A influence. But, I’m going to trust my faithful e-friends to remind me of my promised boycott next year.

OK, so I’m up in the wee hours and came across these pics of David with, of all people, PRISCILLA PRESLEY!! She’s all over our guy (could it be he reminds her of a certain someone?):
http://www.oceanup.com/2008/12/priscilla-presley-attacks-david-archuleta.html

Those cougar pics of Priscilla Presley and David from last night are hilarious. He looks great!

Has anyone heard what he sang last night? Duet with Richie?

Not sure of the accuracy of this info, but it’s being said on sites that David sang ALTNOY and Works for Me last night!

HG..some of the comments on that link are downright mean and hateful..enough to make me cry. I guess some people have so many issues in their own lives that they can’t see the goodness in a person like David. I mean, come on, the lady is 63 years old..is he supposed to act like he’s “liking” being hit on even in jest, just to show he’s macho?? At least he was polite enough to smile…
On the other had, when Natasha did the same thing, HE LOVED IT, and it showed!

Gotta get back to work…

PEACE!

Yikes, poor David! Both Priscilla and Ryan had their hands all over him!

hi everyone,
If you don’t see about 30 pictures of David at “Road to a cure” Gala, plz click this link:
http://huong4david.wordpress.com/2008/12/03/road-to-a-cure-gala/
(This site is a part of davidarchuletavn.com, my 1st fansite for David. yeah, U can say I love David a lot.
Huong

thanks, jackryan for the video shoot info.

gleaning over it, we now know officially david’s height. 5’6″.

228 SF -- Yes, David handled it with class just like he always does. I doubt that a 17 yr old girl would be to keen on a 63 yr old man climbing all over her. Why do people think this is any different?
