Wow. Just Wow.
Wow. Do we really have to comment on these photos taken at the London Hammersmith Apollo by Christie Goodwin ? According to her website, Ms. Goodwin “is the leading rock photographer of this generation. Her striking and atmospheric images capture the true soul of the musician. Her iconic live photography and intuitive portraiture has gained critical acclaim in the music industry and is used by top recording artists.”
Can we repeat that? “Her striking and atmospheric images capture the true soul of the musician.” Wow. Just wow.
Thank you Ms. Goodwin.

ABOUT THIS AUTHOR
Yes, I have to comment. He looks like he’s launching himself right off the stage in the last one.
And the first one…no comment. This is a family channel. Gah!
Intense, just like David in performance. Just beautiful. Thanks, happy, for finding these and posting them!
OMG….beautiful pictures!
The first one…..WOW just WOW!
WOW…WOW…..WELL if you have a perfect subject… what is the result…perfect.

david’s fans photo is in the middle

the whole set at david archuleta network. About 12 pictures.
I was trying to find these photos at Christie Goodwin website. Not yet there
How do you expect me to go to work now? LOL
Abrra
WHOA! Speechless!
There are no words!
Just…GAH!
It’s too early for this.
But I love them all.
Intense and sweaty.
I started praying for his future wife a long time ago.
This guy is absolutely the hottest and sexiest beast to ever roam planet Earth.
God help us all.
P.S. I LOVE the way he bends his mic-holding thumb the same way all the time. I don’t know why, but that is so freakin’ adorable.
Wow. I love it when an image stimulates my senses and these pix are really stimulating
This woman captures the essence of David effortlessly. Brava Christine Goodwin.
Now that I’ve had my morning “stimulus”, on to the day – starting with (ack) the gym!
*censored*
New avatars coming soon…
I think these photos just may induce a late night bistro party.
Whatjusthappened – *censored* Funny.
And Abrra – The first one reminds me of you for some reason.
He needs his face washed!
Christine Goodwin is my new BFF.
I want all of the proofs that she didn’t use.
dawn, somehow your avi pic of sweet, innocent David brought me back to earth!
Thanks..I needed that! WHEW!
No way I can concentrate on work with those images seared in my brain now..HOT & SENSUOUS doesn’t begin to describe those photos. Just breathtaking!
FG, WhatJustHappened lol!
It comes to a point where you just sit with your mouth hanging open and there are no more words to describe him.
Holy Sh*&! Who the heck is that fella? Now that is the side of David Archuleta that the public at large has yet to meet.
Also, how can he go from pic 1 to pic 2? He’s an enigma, that one. He really is.
I wonder did he blush when he saw these? Does he even recognize himself?
brooklyndawn – LOL! Good point pic 1 to pic 2 in .25 milliseconds?
Oh David you are the Sweet Creamy Nougat and Caramel in the Candy Bar that is my life.
SF… you need to clear your cache… I don’t know what one you’re looking at.. but it’s definately not what you described.. LOL.
dawn..WHY? WHY did you tell me to clear my cache?? Now I can’t clear my head!! And it’s too early in the day to feel this way!
The one you had before was the smiley one captured from his last Vlog..so sweet & innocent…
YEAH…I know.. that was my therapy..LAST week..LOL but then I changed it. It was only up for one day. I didn’t know we’d get overloaded like this !!!
I’m at work.. I can’t do anything but suffer.. nothing handy.. no ice.. no wine.. nothing… just David…in all his glory.
David is truly a feast for the senses. I will be seeing him, at long last, on tour this summer. These pics capture the intensity and physical beauty that place David completely in a class by himself. It is overwhelming to think that he is still at the beginning of his growth process, since he is already head and shoulders above everyone else.
Ok~ So how is one supposed to function when the Voice of Reason goes and posts pictures like THAT?? ..coughthankshappycough…Now that he has perfected sweating..whats next?? It’s too much,just too much…
feeling the need for an intervention…
Abrra,Dawn,Marlie and Knotliser~The Tour CD~Wow! Thanks so much for all you did to create such a wonderful momento to remember David’s very first solo tour…a labor of love..{{hugs}} to all of you!
These photos!!!!! Heaven help us all!!! I’ve got to get ready for work–I’ll have mental pix to relish on my shift. I just hope I can pay attention to the customers’ needs.
djxox #26– “Now that he has perfected sweating..whats next?? It’s too much,just too much…” Seriously, WHAT IS NEXT?!
I don’t know who I should be asking so I will ask you all. Abrra,Dawn,Marlie and Knotliser is it still possible to get the Tour CD?
tessielynn50@gmail.com
The US Solo Tour pix. The Singapore-Malaysia pix. And, then the UK David pix. Next Manila then the Davato tour pix – yes Christmas is now year round
kizzi~ the gift that keeps on giving..I love Christmas…falalalala…lalalala…
loved hearing about your UK experiences..thanks for sharing..you and Papa Kizzi are the best.. {{HUGS}} to you both..
djxox #26– “Now that he has perfected sweating..whats next??
lol….intervention indeed….hard to concentrate to day…then I saw this. I don’t even one has seen it yet. Short but lovely.
I don’t know if anyone has seen it yet….OMG can’t think and type at the same time.
djafan – great snippet. The images are sharp and clear and the dancing is wow!
Can I complain? (Sure Liz, go ahead.) The London tee-shirt is dorky. No one but David could pull that off. Bring on the ties and vests please.
djafan/#32~great snippet..now I have a new workout vid..ABS by David and the thighs get a workout too!! Thanks…and 32 seconds…perfect..now I just need a cool down vid..got one??
GAH!!!!! Did I just hear a thud? Rascal, was that you?
dfliz/dj-
Did you notice something?
Wonder what she was thinking….haha.
djafan: Great snippet indeed. LOL! And I need to correct my dorky tee-shirt comment. That dorky outfit is from Ipswich.
oh yes…I noticed..lol
It’s called the Archuffect..and apparently it is pandemic…
betsy . May 5, 2009 at 8:52 am .
Wrong side. Its the left with the sexy mole.
FunnyGirl . May 5, 2009 at 8:12 am .
I LOVE the way he bends his mic-holding thumb the same way all the time.
It’s the Archugrip!
I was thinking what torture is would be to be a GF and not a wife. I think too much.
tessielynn . May 5, 2009 at 1:06 pm .
I will email you.The best I can do is just a burned copy of the tour CD. There are no more pretty cobers or bookmarks.
djxox . May 5, 2009 at 12:36 pm .
Glad you like it! Speaking of thighs before dark is Forbidden!
LIZ your request was mailed today as was djafan’s.
WOW I think I may be cured of spamming posts!
Abrra the spammer in recovery
Dear David.. you’re giving me a tummy ache.
Davey’s.. ahem . .”duet” .. on the front page of Yahoo OMG.. oddly enough.. it’s HIS picture… his duet with Hannah Montana.. not MC.. that is kind of funny
http://omg.yahoo.com/
“wow, just wow” is really still all I can say. The knowing is in the seeing… all that is required to “get it” is to see those pix…
Djxox- the Voice of Reason is just that…reasonable. How reasonable would it have been not to post those photos? They are magnificent. He is magnificent.
Will post the remainder of the set under Photo Shoots later today. Kizzi, that way we can keep all our “gifts” safely stored in one spot.
new avis?– funnygirl took “Sweaty David”, djxox took “Beautiful Face David”… I was left with “Hunkerdown David”… I’ll have to suffer
Thank you Voice of Reason~It would not have been reasonable at all or acceptable or responsible for that matter…you are like my..Gazooo !!
yes happy~ BFD….ftw
djxox- thanks for the email… a much more suitable place to tell me what you really thought of the photos. Thank goodness you didn’t twitter it!
Coming soon! Abrra’s new CD
“How to translate Abrra’s typo’s to english.”
Abrra
talk to you all later~ need to go eat so I have a reason for my new 32 sec workout~~
DJXOX I have 45 reasons if you need them come get em!
Abrra
I do think Twittering WAS involved….lol
Abrra/51~…baaa..baaa…
bebe
We need a new merry go round of post 32! HURRY!
Abrra who has fallen off the spam wagon
happy#48…come on now..what will people think…
Been in a lurking mood lately. But, had to come out just to say “WOW” is right! I can’t even think straight right now….just gawking!
Not many videos came from Southend but I found this one just recently on YouTube. Don’t know if you posted this already.
Seems David is doing something “spe-shull” tonight (or is doing it right now). Seems he left right after his set cuz he was in a hurry. He wanted badly to see Pink in concert, so maybe that’s what he’s doing..of couse the “in crowd” know what he’s doing, but won’t tell cuz the rest of us aren’t the “in crowd”. hahahahaha! I’m being catty & cranky, cuz I can.
BTW..how do you get to be in the “in crowd” anyway??
Those photos should be labeled “FIRE HAZARD”!
See you later!
Ok, so between those sweaty, hunkerdown pics and that video, at #32….what are ya’ll doing to me…..???
Another observation….remember Idol days,,,the cell in his pocket…well, it is no more………(trade off for tighter jeans.)
BTW..how do you get to be in the “in crowd” anyway??
I’ve seen the “in crowd” .. I’m happier being an outsider.. but thanks !!!
When I see Davey… I’m going to share some thoughts on that with him.
by the by.. Pink is doing her last show tonight.. so maybe he got a chance to see it.. who knows.
would that really be regarded as special?
maybe he’s in a writing session.. would that be considered special?
I don’t need to know what he’s doing every second of the day… if he’s having fun.. writing something epic.. going to the mall.. putting lotion in his hair.. well whatever… good for Davey.. I’m pretty sure if HE wanted us to know.. he knows how to give us the 411..and he’ll probably send us a tweet about it.
Notice how these types of things didn’t happen when BB was in Asia? I wonder who was missing in Asia.
I’m good from this distance.
marlie7..#1…The picture of David almost launching from the stage is an absolutely wonderful picture/like a painting. One small imperfection…the crowd seems shamefully oblivious to David. Wrong fans for that picture.
silverfox #58…someone here may know the answer if they are amongst the “in crowd”…I will go and do a search for us lowly people.
dawn65…BB in Asia???? Explanation please…
SB .. when David was in Asia.. nobody knew what he was doing when and where except him and Ray. That’s the way it should be. Having tabs on him 24/7 .. leads us down the twitter stalker walk of shame.. and I’m good.. THANKS.. I’m good. LOL
Actually during lunch today.. several coworkers inquired about my bracelet. I shared the story of Joseph Kony, The Bracelet Campaign, and The InvisibleChildren. Six coworkers are now interested in going home tonight to the website and look into it.. they are interested. (I didn’t tell them that I found out about the cause because of David)
I feel so good about this..I’m already on my third set of bracelets, and I’ve also enrolled in the 3 for 3000 campaign.
This makes me feel great. David shared … and I’ve gotten the bug.. I’m considering turning out in Washington DC on June 22 .
All David’s charities are important.. but I don’t know.. something about IC.. grabbed me.. and I’m like.. 150% all in now.. no longer has anything to do with David for me.. just something I feel passionately about.
dawn..did it sound as if I WANT to be in the “in crowd”? if so..excuuuuussssseeee me! I was being sarcastic…
We’ll hear about David’s spe-shull evening when he tweets later, so it’s all good. I hope he did catch Pink’s concert. I’d love to know what he “learned” from it.
BTW..that shirt he’s wearing in those hot photos was a gift from one of his Malaysian fans. Very nice designer shirt..made shorter than the shirts he unually wears..better to see the nice jeans he wears so well.
dawn65…you have become involved in IC for sure and David is am inspiration to open our eyes and think about those less fortunate and for me it has always been dogs needing rescue from cruelty and neglect. I love them all and they are amongst the ones who cannot speak and ask for themselves. I have a short story with a happy ending…A few years ago a neighbour and his wife had an adorable puppy. The wife only liked cats so she insisted that this eight week old puppy sleep in the garage which was separate from the house. The puppy cried mournfully all night until I couldn’t take it any longer and called the SPCA. I also saw her being abusive towards him. They interviewed them both and laid down the law that no puppy is legally allowed to be left alone. They took the puppy and a new wonderful home was found. I was not popular, the neighbors moved, got a divorce and so on. Everyone heard about it but I would do it again in a heartbeat. I have saved a few lives and if I had a million dollars, I would give them all new homes. “David” reminds us of others when our busy lives take so much of our time.
The Fray tweeted…
Just played the first two highs in London town. David Archuleta stopped by after playing a show here earlier this evening. Nice guy.
from TwitterFon
I swear djafan, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again,
we think alike and you just beat me to it AGAIN! You do it every time. That’s funny.
SF
I imagine he will enjoy PINK concert
Abrra
pabuckie…don’t mean to….lol
It is funny.
SF … YOU.. sarcastic? NEVER … !!
No Pink… he went to see The Fray.
Bwahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I guess the cats out of the bag now.
Damn The Fray… .they were supposed to check in the IN crowd before they spilled that…
Double Bwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I need wine tonight.
Dawn ~ I imagine you are not the only one..after those photo’s..but that is later..dinner first..
I’m in for a nice glass of wine….
lil Twitterbug just twittered he did just see The Fray…..
Yeah.. well I gotta go get some.. for some reason I ran out over the weekend.
So it’s out I go.. I can’t go dry tonight.. just can’t. I don’t know why I know this.. I just do.
djafan
Count me in for some vino. Best served with some nice fava beans yes? /wink
Abrra
Hi all! I’ve been “lost” most of the day, not knowing exactly where to post ~ but I’m thinking this is proably the right place, since the date & time look correct!
Anyway, someone above (I think Dawn) mentioned the bracelets for the Invisible Children ~ and I noticed the most recent Idol “bootee” (Matt Giraud) appeared on Ellen today (much more “relaxed” than he ever was on Idol ~ I wonder why?) ~ but anyway, I was surprised to see him sporting one of the Invisible Children bracelets! I want one!!!
Kizzi, I read your wonderful 2nd U.K. recap and was planning just a quick peek at these pics before returning to your Feature to comment but … just … can’t … move….
(Talk about FIERCE! — David looks positively threatening in some of these … in a good way!
)
I must confess, I have no idea who these people are, but David visited them backstage, and this was the result:
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1610587/20090504/cobra_starship.jhtml
okay–I don’t know where to post—here I go
IT’S HERE!!!! my CD came today!!! Thank you Abrra, Dawn,Knotliser and Marlie!!
Dang it–I left for work having viewed the above pix and stopped at the mailbox on my way into town and there it was–THE CD! Man it was a long shift just waiting to get home to listen. You guys did an awesome job.
I’m out to do some grocery shopping so I’ll have to catch up on everything later–can’t wait
I’ve been listening to the beautiful tour cd most of the day. You really chose well. Wonderful performances! All the screaming, especially in Touch My Hand, makes me feel as though I am in the Mosh pit with the other fans. Thanks again for all your work.
Hi guys,
David just twittered to say that he is going to work on a written blog as he hasn’t done one in a while.
Kipper … oh .. I am glad Matt was sporting an IC bracelet and that you want one… here’s the link.
http://www.invisiblechildren.com
I’m not sure -- I think this is from tonight. It’s from Anny but pretty blurry and all I know is I see someone with a laptop. She said she was sitting right behind Ray so maybe that’s him.
I think I beat you djafan. ha-ha first time for everything.
And the first Croydon video (sounds like he changed the ending ~ whoo!!!!!!!) Why does it look like he’s on a ship? Is it just me?
Oops! Why didn’t that work? Try again
pabuckie, you beat me to it ~ but I can’t figure out exactly where to place the “v” anyway! Is it right after “http” or right after “http:”???
Let me try this one more time:
http:v//www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6rFcDGsruY&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Ffansofdavid%2Ecom%2F&feature=player_embedded
All I know is the partial “Crush” video is AMAZING!
But I won’t post any more ~ not doing it correctly!
Does anyone know what happened at the AI set just a bit ago? Masterclasslady said that something happened.
This is all I know:
Important Update: The singers are performing without benefit of a dress rehearsal due to a terrible accident involving the production’s stage manager this afternoon on the Idol set.
Our prayers are extended to her for a speedy recovery.
mjsbigblog has a twitter acct; she tells in detail what happened on the AI set today.
http://twitter.com/mjsbigblog
Kipper #77 – I feel your pain. Sometimes in this spacious house it’s possible to get lost. If you’re looking for the latest comment thread, check out Latest Comments, top right on the front page.
OMG.. waiting for Idol to come on and see how they handle this.I’m sure David has heard about this already. I hope Debbie the stage manager is ok.
and now back to making that stunning second photo my wallpaper. whew.
the complete set of pictures is posted under photoshoots or click here…. enjoy.
Kipper #86: I fixed your video. I added the v httpv: and took OFF everything from the & onward. See if that works for you next time.
Everyone’s avis are like.. a slideshow tonight.. how very lovely
Thanks, happy … could she not have taken at least one of his feet
And thanks, Mollie, for your kind words about my blog on the previous thread (snuck in London Angels vid last night!)
And {{{hugs}}} and a big thank you to Abrra, Dawn, Knotliser, Marlie (ya, I know, Marlie, “just forwarded emails”… still) and speedy Canada Post. Going to play it now!!
pabuckie….funny
Did you get these ones?
Abrra-- check your email
happy #94, thanks for that link. If anyone wants to look for the photos later, go to Images and Art in the black navigation bar at the top of the front page, scroll to Photo Shoots and voilà!
TOfan – yeah, dang it, no shoe pictures LOL! Just gorgeous sweaty faces and strong hands and hunkerdowns. Each to her own!
BTW love your avi!
“Just gorgeous sweaty faces and strong hands and hunkerdowns”…..now when pictures get davidfanLIZ talking that way… they must be truly remarkable!
Run to see this picture….another hot one!
http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m50/chesterbelloc83/Archies%20on%20tour/Croydon/IMG_0641.jpg
djafan102- he’s channeling Elvis!
dawn #71, are you being sarcastic??
In case anyone is worried about AI being postponed, cancelled or something terrible like that (sarcastic) I just checked and the next AI, Adam, had just finished performing and the judges were drooling all over themselves over him. I just caught the screeching end of his “ROCK GOD” performance. Anyway, all’s well at AI, in case anyone was worried.
So no Pink stuff for David..He saw the Fray..well, well! And he’s going to BLOG!! GOODIE!! Can hardly wait..don’t know what he can say that he hasn’t already tweeted..
Been listening to David Live 2009 Tour CD all day and it’s done is make me sooooo anxious to see David in concert again like NOW! Anyway, I LOVE the CD!
David just twittered that he’s written the blog but not sure when it will get up. He’s needing sleep. Have to say this guy works hard at this life… all the time. Props to him.
happy103- Much, much more than Elvis IMHO.
Sorry! It sounded like I was being sarcastic about David doing a blog. I really CAN hardly wait! I kinda think there’s a lot he hasn’t shared EVERYTHING on twitter.
He just tweeted this though…
So I’ve already written the blog, I’m just trying to get it up haha. I’m not sure if it’ll get up by tonight or not because I should sleep. 5 minutes ago
SF – you’re funny…
I can’t wait for the blog, vlog, tweet, anything he puts out there….lol
When I look at those photos, I think WOW! David is not only a paragon of inner and outer beauty, but he is also a paradox. How can that shy, innocent, angelic looking boy in the second photo coexist with, or become the sensual, passionate, expressive man in photos #1,3, and 4,? It’s like an altered state, like changing from Bruce Banner into the Incredible Hulk on the stage. David is an enigma.
djafan
ditto – LOL!
Adam went first(of course the judges drooled)and they all especially Simon, just makes it soo hard for the other contestants that follow. For them, everything else after Adam – is “boring”. Go Figure! What a rough year for AI – a lot of unlucky incidents. Here’s hoping the stage manager recovers well.
happy #101 – Don’t tease LOL! I have all those same feelings but I just don’t express them publicly most of the time. Sheesh!!
SF – Before you take a shower…have you seen the pic I posted a link to…just wondering.
Here it is again in case it got skipped.
http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m50/chesterbelloc83/Archies%20on%20tour/Croydon/IMG_0641.jpg
happy..call me please, or check your email.
djafan . May 5, 2009 at 8:18 pm .
DONE
Abrra
dja..he looks like he could be Elvis Jr, only better!
I’m with you on the better…way better.
Thank you Abrra.
SF: All taken care of…..
djafan . May 5, 2009 at 8:30 pm .
Run to see this picture….another hot one!
Nothing there! I took it! Its on my desktop. muuuhhhaahahaha
See what you made me do? i am spamming.
Abrra
marlie, thank you!
I saw your SOS. Been there, done that!
(I had the CD cover posted, but something got screwed up and now it’s gone. Dang it!)
woo hoo dfLIZ! nice!
So I’ve already written the blog, I’m just trying to get it up haha. I’m not sure if it’ll get up by tonight or not because I should sleep.
Seriously?
I can’t.. I just can’t..
Dawn
I IMAGINE you got your wine ok?
Abrra
if these photos don’t stop I will never get my blood pressure back down. what a way to go.
I think he hurt me with that first one. Pretty sure. I had to come home and sleep for 3 hours to recover. Now I’m awake and still in a dangerously weakened state. I’ve heard of death by chocolate, but death by David? I think I’m there. Thud. Ouch!
Oh well, there’s a quart of Hagen Daz in the freezer. They may help.
I see that everybody is behaving quite nicely LOL!
Angelica, bring me a spoon! I am with ya! Do you have Chocolate Chocolate Chip?…..Rockie Road would do….
River~ better renew that prescription…jus sayin’
got your mail today..thanks
I think of David as the purest, richest, smoothest, bestest Vanilla ice cream ever. But then I remember that he prefers sorbet.
That PHOTO – GOD! All I can is that is an artist’s masterpiece!
Not only does David outdo himself in each performance with “Angels” now he’s outdoing himself with photos too!
I meant all I can “say” but whatever the picture has me all flustered and didn’t proofread.
LuvieD~No, Dulce de Leche and Carmelized Pear & Toasted Pecan. Will that do? We can always pour chocolate syrup over it.
Angelica!! You have VIP Upgrade Icecream!!!!
Kipper #87 just saw your post, sorry. You put the “v” right after the http and before the “:”. That CRUSH is to die for too! He hits that high note at “I’ll never understand, yeaaaah” too! Love his swaying, and yes it looks like a ship. In one video, there also looked like a big bald security guy standing right in front of David, it looked weird. I forget which video though. Imagine if we get to see CLOSER videos and not as blurry! I still can’t get over that photo…I want that as my avi but forget how to do it.
davidfanLIZ 130-people are chatting nicely all over the world….
well I’m off to bed but I have no idea how I’m going to get to sleep. ah yes, the dvr’s of last year’s finale. works for me.
Posted the prayer for David on the NEXT POST.
Good nite all!
Reading this line in David’s blog as he discussed his performances, I thought of some of the posts here:
“I always wonder what people must be thinking watching me move lol,…”
source: http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=372079673&blogId=487460194
No David. You most definitely do not want to know what some of us are thinking, watching you move. Just know that it is a good thing. (yes, it is working!)
That was a well written blog. Loved his use of the word striking.
Djafan -#102 – Why? Why must you add to my torture?
#125 – that was funny.
Peruu, Did I read once that you had tix for the San Jose show?
Uhmm, I should say tix that you did need anymore and were trying to sale?
EPIC FAIL. Tix that you did not need?
djx40 – “It’s called the Archuffect..and apparently it is pandemic…” Yeah, bet she wished he wasn’t quite so close.
Wow! I can’t believe how much more love he’s getting with each concert. Watching the concert at Croyden, I had to remind myself that he wasn’t in the US on his solo tour. At the end of Angels & DLG they were yelling “I love you” and all those hands reaching out for him. It is pandemic.
