OK, did I just DREAM this or is there video of David singing “Works For Me”?
Am slated to go to Sacramento JB today!!! =:O Bianca is here, Janey will soon be here — they will head to the Arco early in hopes of seeing David before the show (those adventurous Angels!) and Mr. Beebee and I are headed there a little later to meet up with everybody before the show. Ack! (Everybody pray for the fog to clear up and STAY THAT WAY! I want safe angels on the road.)

stylin David and yes JOSIE we now need a video
beebee . December 3, 2008 .
hahaha, Josie! Beebee avoids cameras! No pickie’o'beebee. :p We are very lame on this outing. We only have a GIANT digital camera so will not be bringing. My only job will be to ENJOY watching David perform and I shall be supremely happy to do so. It seems meet and greets are not to be had so like everybody else, I’ll just be loving the performance and going home with lovely memories (unless divine intervention produces a chance to meet David) Very exciting!
Beebee, Janey et al, have a great time tonight! (And report back!)
Josie . December 3, 2008 .
Ha ha – that’s ok Beebs…I live w/out a pix! Yes! Just enjoy it – no worries about pix – there will be plenty I’m sure. Drink it all in friend!

Freofan . December 3, 2008 .
He looked great last night! There was a hilarious comment on FOD where someone said that Presley didn’t “know how to manage her ODD” when she pawed all over David. Well, all I can say that is that on Ford Day, I stood shoulder to shoulder with David for about 15 minutes….thank god I was sober!
Freo #9, LOL! I can’t believe there are no vids of last night’s songs. Can Jeff not tuck a nanny cam into one of those hats of his?
beebee . December 3, 2008 .
TOfan, thank you! I know he will blow me away. Question is, will I be able to find words to describe. I figure there’s two parts: (1) His performance, and (2) what it DOES to me. lol Gee, djb, happy, we should invent the handy “Pocket Defib” … fits into any purse! (I can see the infomercial now. Silverfox can sell them on QVC! lol! yesss!)

betsy . December 3, 2008 .
Her eyes are slightly off and her lips are even more so.
Did you read Amy’s new post? So funny!
Not sure what I think of those pants, but the vest and shirt are pretty sharp. Go David!
OK everyone, I finally found time in my busy schedule to complete my second fan video of David. This one I’ve titled “David Archuleta: The Voice That Heals.”
I imagine the latest spiritual songs, plus the holiday season, inspired the more out-of-this-world flavor of this one. Enjoy!
Thanks, gemzone. What can I say? David “touches” me in so many different ways…
hooked . December 3, 2008 .
ohhhhh SF you aren’t gonna like Priscilla doing what she is doing to our David. Looks like he’s not liking her falling/forcing herself on him lol. Dirty ol’ lady !!!!!!! None of us would ever do that!
I love the pants!!!

What a lovely video…thenks…to know how much he means to everyone just imagine that we couldn’t hear another song from David…Watch him, guard him…it is a crazy world…people need to be protected…

Yes, Josie, very dapper, the rolled up sleeves……..yikes!

This was posted on FOD… more new fans in a great way
“I love this story from Alyssa!
Ever since I started going to a different high school last year; they have played music in the hallway and not the good kind of music either its like elevator music. This year we got a new principal at our school. He decided that the elevator music was too boring and to play something else but everything people wanted to hear was not really clean music. The day that David’s CD came out I went to school and walked in the door and I didn’t hear elevator music. What I heard was a beautiful voice with passion and emotion in his music. I took a closer listen and discovered it was David! Ever since then our principal has been playing David’s CD just about everyday because he is clean and has a wonderful voice. I just thought that this was really cool because people in the school are always walking around trying to figure out who is singing then I tell them it’s David and they are hooked. Thanks to our principal at our school we now have more David Archuleta fans here.”
The pic with Ryan -his suit – and David – his pants – from last night… is Velour/velvet back in style or what????
Seems there is an orchestral version of You Can (also on posted on FOD). First Cursh and now You Can. Is this unusual? Are pop songs often done over like this? Anyone know?
TOfan isn’t it cool how technology enables someone who is soooo busy to get his thanks in. I’m lovin’ it.

Beautifully done vid. When you had him jump from Angels to SOT the tears literally jumped from my eyes. I lost it.
happy . December 3, 2008 .
HG- your video is beautiful, the mountains at :30 are a wonder to behold.
beebee and all you Jingleball goers- HAVE A GREAT TIME!! We can’t wait to hear all about it!!!!!
silverfox . December 3, 2008 .
I’m really late logging in tonight, but I guess it doesn’t matter cuz it’s pretty quiet ..guess everyone’s waiting for a report on The Sac Jingle Jam..but it’s only 6 pm there, The concert starts at 7, or 10 EST. Hope all David’s fans have a blast & show him lots of love!!
HG..loved your new video! It was just beautiful! Very creative & inspirational. I’m sure David would be touched.
BTW, HG..about David’s pants..I would have chosen black, navy or maroon. I hon’t think a stylist dressed him for the gala…but it’s no biggie..he’s still irrisistable..the proof is in the pics!! hahaha!
And since nobody’s home at rascal, I’m gonna go lurking.

RENA #235 of previous thread – what media player are you using? Cos it worked in all media players here with me — WMP, VLC, RealPlayer, EMTotal, Adone & GOM. I find VLC & EMTotal as the most versatile & user-friendly
archiesfan4life . December 3, 2008 .
I just read a post on Loving Archie that said they have shirts at the Sacramento Jingle Ball that have David’s SOLO tour locations on the back!!!!!????
juliebug . December 3, 2008 .
They are probably Jingle Ball dates.
archiesfan4life . December 3, 2008 .
juliebug #37 – I just went back to read the latest posts and they found out that they are the JB dates so you are right. They were all so excited – someone was there and told them that the dates were for the tour.
juliebug . December 3, 2008 .
#38 – Figured so. lol! Someone on IDF says that for merchandise for the Jingle Balls David has a bag, a jacket and 2 T-shirts. I hope he sells tons! It’s where he’ll make his money.
Just popping in to say lid or no lid I am still glued to those AOL sessions (and with our Parliament in meltdown right now, they’re a welcome distraction!). And Betsy #12, moleskin pants? And here I thought they were corduroy, I really need to get out more….
jackryan4DA . December 3, 2008 .
HG – what can I say? another labor of love! You & SF are really getting the hang of this video making thing. Ever thought of doing one on the angels with ODD?
Update here in Manila re Davidmania: Crush has been the #1 video in MTV Asia for the last 6 months I think and what is interesting, TMH has been getting good airplay here. I heard it last Saturday 4x from the station whose DJ hates David — and those were the times I was just driving!
I am super uber positive that YOU CAN, TBWY & SOT will be mega hits here cos we do love our love songs in these islands – mushy, sentimental nation! haha. But Desperate will be the sleeper hit – is that the right expression?
jackryan4DA . December 3, 2008 .
Are thee no videos of the Gala event? Audio. Or somethinggggg?!
When I stepped out for a dinner party, I had no idea things would be slow around here when I got back. I guess enough of you went to the Sacramento Jingle Ball tonight? Looking forward to the stories (and vids) even though I’ll be turning in soon after an exhausting evening.
Thanks again, everyone, for your thoughts on my video. Realmusiclover, I am touched that you would tear up over my video. I just think Angels and SOT have so much in common, thematic wise and some amazing vocals from our beloved. SF, the color of the pants was what I was having issues with, but you’re right: David is irresistable in anything!
JR, didn’t we say long time ago something about making a viral video on Archumania? I haven’t forgotten, and it will be in the works as a future project!
OK, I’m busy yawning, and I have to wake up early tomorrow, so g’nite all!
silverfox . December 3, 2008 .
I also have to call it a night..Wish I could stay up to hear the reports fro Sac..but I read somewhere that David will on stage at about 9:20, 12:20 EST..too late for me!!
So G’nite all..and for David…Just have to, hope no-one minds…
Dear Lord, Though we are unworthy to ask,
Please take Care Of David. Watch over him, Protect him from all harm. Cloak him with your love and give him the strength to endure all that is thrown in his path. Give David the courage and guidance to say no those who ask for more than he can reasonably give. Surround David with loving and supportive people who love him UNCONDITIONALLY as we, his ARCHANGELS do. SEPARATE DAVID FROM THOSE WHO HAVE AGENDAS OTHER THAN FOR HIS WELLBEING. Give him rest when he’s weary and fatigued. Give him the stamina to sustain his hectic pace. Give him assurance when he feels doubt. Give him joy when he feels sad. Cloak him always in your protective arms. Keep David healthy & strong as he fulfills his Destiny which was written in his Book of Life before he was born.
This, though we may be unworthy, humbly pray. Amen.
Sweet dreams David, be safe & secure in our love always! Take care. You will always be numero uno in our eyes! Thank you for all you do and for just being you!
CONTIGO SIEMPRE CON AMOR!

davidfanLIZ . December 4, 2008 .
Vermeer and I are just back from the Sacramento Jingle. David was in fabulous form. He wore a dark vest over a tight short-sleeved tee-shirt, jeans and sneakers. He started out with a killer version of “Touch My Hands,” moving all around the stage and totally connecting with the audience, completely at ease. The big surprise was the second song, “Works for Me!” So great to hear that song live. He said his next song is a simple love song and sat down to sing “You Can.” The screams increased (if that was possible!!) He finished off with ALTNOY and “Crush.” The crowd was on their feet for the whole set and were crazy for him. David was his usual sweet self. It was over waaaaay too fast.
We meet so many cool NDers and FODers. Soooo much fun!!! More details are sure to come.
davidfanLIZ — it is so great to hear the good news from you!!! How are you? What can you say about the experience? How was David? From all the screaming in the youtube vid, am so happy he was well received Most important, was he visibly happy? tired? nervous a bit?
Evening, by the pool, guitar on hand….a pic from the ALTNOY vid
gaaaah, angels we have GOT TO BE STRONG for this one!
davidfanLIZ . December 4, 2008 .
Hi! vermeer speaking for the both of us! David was in great form, looked relaxed and oh so handsome! For each performer in the show, four people or so were selected to come sit right on the stage to watch up close and personal, and if I’m not mistaken, David was the only person who acknowledged the people sitting to the side on the stage, once by holding out his hand to one of the girls when he sang Touch My Hands, and again at the end waving goodbye to these few people and everybody else as he was leaving the stage. I thought to myself that is so David, never forgetting others, never acting like he is a big star even though he IS!!!
He was very well received. Even when he sang You Can, people stayed standing, did not sit back down. He looked really happy. It was really way too short even though he did five songs. I think we fans felt so proud. Nat/np1107 who was sitting a few seats from us, mouthed “I’m so proud of David”, I answered “me too!”!
davidfanLIZ . December 4, 2008 .
It was so fun to see the AOL Sessions come alive at the Jingle show. “Touch My Hands” was okay for me on the CD, I connected with it on the AOL sessions, and then it totally rocked in Sacramento. David was working the stage, the band was pumping, the fans were going crazy. This is a song that really works in concert! Gahhh, I love this kid!
jackryan4DA . December 4, 2008 .
I listened to snarkies’ mp3 of the cellcast — so of course the quality is… but DANG IT! I was crying at YOU CAN!!!!
Even with poor quality audio, his voice JUST COMES THROUGH.
Am dead, a goner, undone. SIGH.
jackryan4DA . December 4, 2008 .
I have been sayin all long… we have a winner with TMH
Proud of David. Very. Thanks davidfanLIZ for sharing
jackryan4DA . December 4, 2008 .
From a story posted at Snarkies on WFM:
“David was SLINKY, ATTITUDY, often had a SLY SMILE, and the Archubrows went up every now and then. Think Shop Around but a little less energetic and a little more in tune to this style of music..”
Not since Shop Around have I seen David so happy, just LOVING singing, smiling and flirting and sharing his joy with the audience.
Reminds me also of the old Star Search videos – check out the very end of the song when he smiles and puts down the microphone. The giddy 12 year old is back – only with inordinately more experience and wisdom and talent.
My favorite video since Tulsa.
olemr2001 . December 4, 2008 .
#111, ronaldsf – I saw your WFM video (and report) at snarky’s. What a great way to start the morning! Thanks.
Good morning everyone! Oh wow! Those videos are awesome! I so cannot wait for my concert next Wednesday. GAH! I wonder if David will be singing the same songs, or if he’s going to change them up some (I have an insane wish that he’ll bust out with Somebody Out There, but a girl can dream…) BTW, is our David gaining some weight? Or he’s just building up? My, how he’s changed!
Favorite moment, when he smiles mid song at the pause (like ronaldsf described) he is realizing he’s good–still some awe in that smile but loads of REALIZATION!!
Woo! Chills! “You Can” was so beautiful!!! OK, Jive, why can’t we get TWO new releases? ALTNOY for the Top40 stations and YC for adult contemporary? All the other pop artists have multiple releases playing on the radio at the moment. Why this slow pace, huh?
N.E. waaay, I hope David sings this lovely ballad next week! So, for those of you at the Sacramento JB, I want some stories about audience reception. In particular, any fainting spells, weeping and outpouring of uncontrollable emotions? I want the juicy tidbits!
beebee . December 4, 2008 .
OMG. I am STILL in Archu_denial. STILL. I really can’t believe I saw David perform live. We were 17 rows back on the floor, all on our feet the whole time, the crowd was EATING HIM UP and, just as I imagined, I was like a stunned animal just standing there with my jaw on the floor. I COULD FEEL THE JOY EMANATING from David. It was surreal. Seriously. The performances were beyond amazing. And then it was over. In one nanosecond. (I WANT MO’!) Lord willin’, I’ll be able to report something more articulate soon.
And to be able to meet and spend a little time with such wonderful people from here and FOD and elsewhere was positively the cherry on TOP. David really does have the very best fans in the known universe.
Dapper. Now I need video!
Thanhyouverymuch.
Hi Joise!

#38 – Figured so. lol! Someone on IDF says that for merchandise for the Jingle Balls David has a bag, a jacket and 2 T-shirts. I hope he sells tons! It’s where he’ll make his money.
Just popping in to say lid or no lid I am still glued to those AOL sessions (and with our Parliament in meltdown right now, they’re a welcome distraction!). And Betsy #12, moleskin pants? And here I thought they were corduroy, I really need to get out more….
HG – what can I say? another labor of love! You & SF are really getting the hang of this video making thing. Ever thought of doing one on the angels with ODD?
Update here in Manila re Davidmania: Crush has been the #1 video in MTV Asia for the last 6 months I think and what is interesting, TMH has been getting good airplay here. I heard it last Saturday 4x from the station whose DJ hates David — and those were the times I was just driving!
I am super uber positive that YOU CAN, TBWY & SOT will be mega hits here cos we do love our love songs in these islands – mushy, sentimental nation! haha. But Desperate will be the sleeper hit – is that the right expression?
Are thee no videos of the Gala event? Audio. Or somethinggggg?!
Everyone just froze when he sang WFM…
jackryan4DA #41, what, no love for My Hands in Manilaville?
When I stepped out for a dinner party, I had no idea things would be slow around here when I got back. I guess enough of you went to the Sacramento Jingle Ball tonight? Looking forward to the stories (and vids) even though I’ll be turning in soon after an exhausting evening.
Thanks again, everyone, for your thoughts on my video. Realmusiclover, I am touched that you would tear up over my video. I just think Angels and SOT have so much in common, thematic wise and some amazing vocals from our beloved. SF, the color of the pants was what I was having issues with, but you’re right: David is irresistable in anything!
JR, didn’t we say long time ago something about making a viral video on Archumania? I haven’t forgotten, and it will be in the works as a future project!
OK, I’m busy yawning, and I have to wake up early tomorrow, so g’nite all!
I also have to call it a night..Wish I could stay up to hear the reports fro Sac..but I read somewhere that David will on stage at about 9:20, 12:20 EST..too late for me!!
So G’nite all..and for David…Just have to, hope no-one minds…
Dear Lord, Though we are unworthy to ask,
Please take Care Of David. Watch over him, Protect him from all harm. Cloak him with your love and give him the strength to endure all that is thrown in his path. Give David the courage and guidance to say no those who ask for more than he can reasonably give. Surround David with loving and supportive people who love him UNCONDITIONALLY as we, his ARCHANGELS do. SEPARATE DAVID FROM THOSE WHO HAVE AGENDAS OTHER THAN FOR HIS WELLBEING. Give him rest when he’s weary and fatigued. Give him the stamina to sustain his hectic pace. Give him assurance when he feels doubt. Give him joy when he feels sad. Cloak him always in your protective arms. Keep David healthy & strong as he fulfills his Destiny which was written in his Book of Life before he was born.
This, though we may be unworthy, humbly pray. Amen.
Sweet dreams David, be safe & secure in our love always! Take care. You will always be numero uno in our eyes! Thank you for all you do and for just being you!
CONTIGO SIEMPRE CON AMOR!

No doubt about it — David is a superstar. Even by cellcast he sounds perfect — unbelievably so. My goodness, how can any other performer follow him and why would they even want to try? So anxious for video to hold me until Buffalo. Bravo David!

Pretty ad quality of Gala event last night…
http://archuletafanscene.com/
er….BAD quality. Typos! Grrrr!
Since no one is looking…and I’m going to bed…and I just feel ornery… I’m spamming so that this thread will have 100 posts. haha!
Vermeer and I are just back from the Sacramento Jingle. David was in fabulous form. He wore a dark vest over a tight short-sleeved tee-shirt, jeans and sneakers. He started out with a killer version of “Touch My Hands,” moving all around the stage and totally connecting with the audience, completely at ease. The big surprise was the second song, “Works for Me!” So great to hear that song live. He said his next song is a simple love song and sat down to sing “You Can.” The screams increased (if that was possible!!) He finished off with ALTNOY and “Crush.” The crowd was on their feet for the whole set and were crazy for him. David was his usual sweet self. It was over waaaaay too fast.
We meet so many cool NDers and FODers. Soooo much fun!!! More details are sure to come.

davidfanLIZ — it is so great to hear the good news from you!!! How are you? What can you say about the experience? How was David? From all the screaming in the youtube vid, am so happy he was well received
Most important, was he visibly happy? tired? nervous a bit?
More stories pleeeaaaseeeeeee!!!!

Evening, by the pool, guitar on hand….a pic from the ALTNOY vid
gaaaah, angels we have GOT TO BE STRONG for this one!
Hi! vermeer speaking for the both of us! David was in great form, looked relaxed and oh so handsome! For each performer in the show, four people or so were selected to come sit right on the stage to watch up close and personal, and if I’m not mistaken, David was the only person who acknowledged the people sitting to the side on the stage, once by holding out his hand to one of the girls when he sang Touch My Hands, and again at the end waving goodbye to these few people and everybody else as he was leaving the stage. I thought to myself that is so David, never forgetting others, never acting like he is a big star even though he IS!!!
He was very well received. Even when he sang You Can, people stayed standing, did not sit back down. He looked really happy. It was really way too short even though he did five songs. I think we fans felt so proud. Nat/np1107 who was sitting a few seats from us, mouthed “I’m so proud of David”, I answered “me too!”!
It was so fun to see the AOL Sessions come alive at the Jingle show. “Touch My Hands” was okay for me on the CD, I connected with it on the AOL sessions, and then it totally rocked in Sacramento. David was working the stage, the band was pumping, the fans were going crazy. This is a song that really works in concert! Gahhh, I love this kid!
I listened to snarkies’ mp3 of the cellcast — so of course the quality is… but DANG IT! I was crying at YOU CAN!!!!
Even with poor quality audio, his voice JUST COMES THROUGH.
Am dead, a goner, undone. SIGH.
I have been sayin all long… we have a winner with TMH
Proud of David. Very. Thanks davidfanLIZ for sharing
From a story posted at Snarkies on WFM:
“David was SLINKY, ATTITUDY, often had a SLY SMILE, and the Archubrows went up every now and then. Think Shop Around but a little less energetic and a little more in tune to this style of music..”

One word for that WFM video: JOY.
Not since Shop Around have I seen David so happy, just LOVING singing, smiling and flirting and sharing his joy with the audience.
Reminds me also of the old Star Search videos – check out the very end of the song when he smiles and puts down the microphone. The giddy 12 year old is back – only with inordinately more experience and wisdom and talent.
My favorite video since Tulsa.
#111, ronaldsf – I saw your WFM video (and report) at snarky’s. What a great way to start the morning! Thanks.
“We wish you a Merry Christmas” – very brief
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQbzWbbUyhU
wow… I just finished to watch the Sacramento’s performance on youtube, both audio and video are super clear. David’s performance, just “wow”.
I am very impressed the way he talked, super confident!!! Can’t imagine he is the same person talked in AI tour.
I am too happy now!!! go and cook the dinner…

Good morning everyone! Oh wow! Those videos are awesome! I so cannot wait for my concert next Wednesday. GAH! I wonder if David will be singing the same songs, or if he’s going to change them up some (I have an insane wish that he’ll bust out with Somebody Out There, but a girl can dream…) BTW, is our David gaining some weight? Or he’s just building up? My, how he’s changed!
Have a good day everyone!
You Can
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO_Q-glP9yE
Favorite moment, when he smiles mid song at the pause (like ronaldsf described) he is realizing he’s good–still some awe in that smile but loads of REALIZATION!!
Woo! Chills! “You Can” was so beautiful!!! OK, Jive, why can’t we get TWO new releases? ALTNOY for the Top40 stations and YC for adult contemporary? All the other pop artists have multiple releases playing on the radio at the moment. Why this slow pace, huh?
N.E. waaay, I hope David sings this lovely ballad next week! So, for those of you at the Sacramento JB, I want some stories about audience reception. In particular, any fainting spells, weeping and outpouring of uncontrollable emotions? I want the juicy tidbits!
OMG. I am STILL in Archu_denial. STILL. I really can’t believe I saw David perform live. We were 17 rows back on the floor, all on our feet the whole time, the crowd was EATING HIM UP and, just as I imagined, I was like a stunned animal just standing there with my jaw on the floor. I COULD FEEL THE JOY EMANATING from David. It was surreal. Seriously. The performances were beyond amazing. And then it was over. In one nanosecond. (I WANT MO’!) Lord willin’, I’ll be able to report something more articulate soon.
And to be able to meet and spend a little time with such wonderful people from here and FOD and elsewhere was positively the cherry on TOP. David really does have the very best fans in the known universe.
