Comments on: Be More Like David – Ignore the Haters! http://www.thedavidchronicles.com/2009/10/be-more-like-david-ignore-the-haters/ On the Artistry and Inspiration of David Archuleta Fri, 30 Jul 2010 00:20:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: grafico.artista http://www.thedavidchronicles.com/2009/10/be-more-like-david-ignore-the-haters/#comment-57868 grafico.artista Wed, 28 Oct 2009 01:18:25 +0000 http://www.thedavidchronicles.com/?p=12905#comment-57868 HG. I have to agree with following your advice. I imagine if David were to walk up to the lady who wrote the article that has been so lambasted by archie fans. She like almost all other people who cross paths with David would have a different point of view of him. That being said, she is still entitled to her feelings. I am a student at Utah Valley University. There is no lack of David Archuleta haters there. Trust me it is kinda like Donnie Osmond II. I was a fan of D O when I was in High School, and it began to be popular to NOT be a fan. I never stopped being his fan. BUT BUT BUT it all boil down to this. We don't serve our beloved David well when we go out to bash those who don't like him. When someone (some wolf) out right trashes David and for that matter a man that David loves and looks up to HIS FATHER JEFF. We can only kill that wolf by NOT FEEDING IT!!!! HG.

She is SO lucky!"</i> BINGO! Opportunity (me singing in my head) ME: So you got the album? STAFF: No cos it was out of stock in the store I went to. CUSTOMER: My son was able to buy a copy for me and he said they were selling real fast! Like the stores didn't even have time to put the CDs in the rack. They were getting it straight from the box. ME: Would like to hear the duet? ALL: Of course! Turned over the CD to the manager and played the duet. They loved it of course! CD continued playing... then they re-started from JTTW. Next thing I knew, the staff & the customers were singing along. It was like a scene out of "My BF's Wedding" with all the community singing! LOL When I was about to leave, the CD was still playing midway and the staff's faces fell. So I decided to gift the CD to the parlor so they can continue listening to it and other customers get to hear it :) on a condition that they don't re-copy it. Then,referred them to TeaArchies' gifting campaign in case they cannot secure a copy. When I reached home my daughter commented: <i>"...that must have been some parlor visit. You haven't stopped smiling since you arrived..." Haha, if she only knew! Have a story to share:

But I posted a short comment (nothing nasty). nevertheless in that UW diatribe But with the editor joining the fray now with an open letter to DA fans it has become surreal. Then you have the Hollywood Outbreak article with a very misleading title http://www.hollywoodoutbreak.com/2009/10/16/david-archuleta-senior-year-is-overrated-compared-to-stardom/ Not to generalize but what's up (actually down!) with these media people?

It was surprisingly good and very well written - as if the writer actually listened to the album. Of course, it wasn't Ann who critiqued it...Oh well - to each his own.

The responses mentioned above - ignoring, or reponding with humor, certainly seem most appropriate. :) Can I also add that the negative review being discussed came from a COLLEGE newspaper, not the NY Times furcryingoutloud lol!
