Archudrought – Part 2
Favorite Live Performances
One of the things I miss most right now is waiting up late at night after one of David’s concerts for the videos to be posted by his videographer fans. Anticipating what David would do with the ending of “My Hands”, or whether he would nail that high note in “Touch My Hand” or waiting for the walk-step in TOSOD made it all the more fun.
So, while we wait for the next tour (soon, please, soon), perhaps a few reminders of how dynamic and amazing David is in concert would be fun.
I love this performance of Touch My Hand – David has mastered the stage and is super confident.
The Perfection of “My Hands”
one of my all-time favorites….Don’t Let Go
New Years Eve – TOSOD
Post your favorite performance video(s) and let’s enjoy the memories until we can make some more.

Well, how could I forget My Kind of Perfect?
David Archuleta mention -- Howie Mandel recounts NASCAR gig on Jay Leno’s Show (30 Mar 2011)
And speaking of performances…
“I remember the boy…” (that’s a Filipino pop song, btw)
And the boy, now grown, amazes me still -- ANGELS starts @ 6:48:
You know what is so wrong w/ the Idol contestants this season? Not much musical intelligence. They think that blowing their pipes or growling or hitting the glory notes are the be-all and end-all on stage.
Where’s the story? Where’s the connection? Restraint seems to be a forgotten art.
Too bad cos there are plenty of very promising talents & exciting personalities in this batch.
But at the end of the day, they leave me empty…
BTW, Casey -- the guy who was saved last week performed “Your Song” -- finally a performance that makes sense. Made me smile.
i.miss.david.
Pia sang DLTSGDOM
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh, I MISS DAVID!!!!!
Sorry but TheArchuletor owns this song since that fateful night.
YAY! Another vid from NASCAR
WHEN TWO WORLDS COLLIDE (in a good way!)
GoodYear tweets photo below and explains in their FB:
“Despite cloudy skies and cold weather, the Spirit of America was literally off to the races this weekend to cover the NASCAR 400 Series at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana. What a thrill it was to share the skies with two F-18s, to hear our friend David Archuleta sing the National Anthem, and to see every car equipped with our famous Goodyear tires!”

JR -- I think you are spot on about this year’s contestants on AI -- they have good pipes, they even seem to be emotionally in tune with the song -- but they don’t seem to be able to make ME emotionally in tune with the song. You know what I mean? I did think a few of the performances were great, really great. But my heart doesn’t seem to connect.
Like it does with this …
Band Auditions VLOG. The best part is when he starts messing around on the piano with a songwriting idea.
Love, love, love this vlog. Hearing about the band auditions, anticipating new performances, and then being allowed to watch David do a little improvisation -- I hope he keeps it up. I believe that there is a special musicality inside of David that only needs to find its way out. You get glimpses of his genius when he lets go on stage, when he is at his most comfortable and “plays around” with the music.
Can’t wait for a new round of concerts.
LOL, the mis-angled vlog is back! Why he cannot get a fix on the right placement of the camera really makes me laugh.
Anw, seems like he is taking his time with getting people he will eventually surround himself with. Which is good (patiently greeting teeth here).
JAM SESSIONS on vid, YAY! Can’t wait
If he wants his peeps to be LA-centric, then he will be LA-based, too? I thought he was more inclined with Nashville…
Is it just me? But I got giddy hearing him play some song-in-the-making. Watching him “think-out” the melody actually excited me!
“Baby look… and…” He did say “baby” right? Tee-hee
dear david,
see how the little things you do make us giddy-licious?!
BTW, I just finished uploading DA’s ANTHEM-related vids all in HQ/HD quality. There are some vids in my collection that had not been uploaded by anyone before -- nothing grand. But since we are in the business of chronicling anythingDavid…. haha. I’ll just add stuff I find in my vid vault as I go along the other uploads
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A076D4E27F9EF38A
Here’s one vid that according to FOD they have not seen before, which is weird cos I’ve had it for the longest of time. But will post it anw, in case some of you have not seen it:
Fox13′s raw footage of David’s post-game concert @ Rio Tinto -- TMH, CRUSH,
AP Coverage of Latino Inaug Ball -- this one has a clip of him singing front & center
DA interview w/ Big Buddha -- FULL & AUDIO ENHANCED -- only the 1st part of the vid was broadcasted (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf0QjwjgOSA); But in other YT postings, the sound of the 2nd part is almost inaudible cos it was like that in the original footage – so I fixed it!
COMPLETE feature on the BRUT SUN BOWL FAN FIESTA DAY
BRUT SUN BOWL RECAP -- has a front & center shot of him singing the Anthem (which as we discovered belatedly, wasn’t televised)
I will probably create a page here in TDC later so we can have a permanent reference for the anthem-related vids
NASCAR PressCon of David
Was just popping by to see what was new, saw your header, Marlie, and came on to post the first (but not only) live performance that never leaves my memory…but of course JR beat me to it; not like I’m the only one who knows Angles/Tulsa as a David moment! …to beat all moments.
I know, since then, there have been SO many otherworldly performances…many I’ve been lucky to experience live…but Angels/Tulsa, and its heavenly ending will remain one of my favorites, forever!
Nice thread ~as we all patiently await….whatever comes of that ramblin’ new melody off David’s newest vlog. (…was so glad to see rambly David back, from “keeping it to 4 minutes! David.”)
JR #7…I’m glad I’m not the only one who reacted that way, (outloud to my t.v. set…and yes, I know normal people don’t behave this way..but *sigh* I’m resigned to it by now!), when I heard Pia would be singing DLTSGDOM…blasphemy!!
David owns it, to me, too. Period, end of story.
And I know David himself would balk at that but to me..
His finale moment closed the AI book on that one!
Another lovely piece from Associated Content:
David Archuleta -- it Shows on His Face
I recently watched a video of David singing “O Holy Night” from his first Christmas concert in Salt Lake City. From the very beginning as he stood by the mic stand and silently prayed, to the amazing
conclusion of the song, David’s voice was astounding. His voice soared and hit each note perfectly throughout the Christmas hymn. But his voice aside, it’s his presence that really draws you.
…”
To read the rest: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/7916295/david_archuleta_it_shows_on_his_face.html?cat=33
amb4dja -- That last part of the TULSA ANGELS is on automatic rewind for me. Don’t you get a kick out of the face, the reaction of the back-up singer?!
And re DLTSGDOM -- you could say the same thing on every song David has covered. Whenever I hear the original artist, I sing along with David’s version. David has such a unique way of rendering melodies -- like that is how it should be interpreted all along.
He is judicious w/ his stylings; his phrasing is impeccable. There is a remarkable musical intelligence in his singing. Combine that with the emotion he invests in each song -- YOWZA!
David’s FB has been updated. This is a 1st for the longest of time. It’s for the 60th Annual Sun Fun Festival.
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=144924045575356
Don’t forget to drop a line or like it
hahahaha… snarkiearchies got me good! Anybody want to sell me some real estate in florida now?!! hahaha (I finally figured it out. geesh I’m gullible.)
hint: check the date
JR (comments above on Angels etc…no numbers?) anyhoo…Yes, yes and yes! Well said on all!
I cannot listen to Tulsa/Angels without rewinding the ending at least 5 times. Just noticed what you mention about the backup singer! I was always too focused on David, who I also got a kick out of. When he finishes it, and he lets out that exhausted breath and collapses…it is like he comes out of the spell of the song he’s just completely inhabited and he’s spent. He is always in the zone, but that night was REALLY feeling Angels. That’s what everyone responds to…he takes us on that emotional journey with him.
THAT is the stuff JLo is trying, (to not much avail) to impart to the Idols this year. David always “got that” (he’s the kind who’s born knowing it.) It’s the premise from which he sings, as he explains in COS, from feeling the song and then communicating it. Not just “stylizing” his singing around words & vocal runs; that’s why we never hear any song exactly the same way.
It’s that “musical intelligence” you speak of that has always amazed me, beyond his beautiful instrument, that informs all his singing and makes it brilliant and a surprise every time.
And I feel exactly the same, whenever I hear any song David has covered…and HONESTLY it’s not BLIND FANDOM…it is just that like you say, once you hear it done so beautifully, it’s “like that is how it should be interpreted all along.”
Exactly.
amb4dja: You got it so right. That IS the stuff JLo is trying to get the Idols to understand. With David, it is who he is. He doesn’t work at it, he lets it happen. No one I have ever been a fan of (is there really anyone I can say I’ve been a fan of, except David?) has ever grabbed me by the heart, captured my attention and held me there like that just because they opened their mouth to sing.
There are plenty of singers I love to listen to. But none, no none, that I am so enamored with. None who have the power that David has when he sings.
Okay, I’m getting all fangirly. I miss the fangirl chatter and sighing and ooohing and aahing over ever video and tv appearance of David. Soon, oh soon, he will be out on the road again, singing his beautiful heart out.
Marlie..”There are plenty of singers I love to listen to. But none, no none, that I am so enamored with. None who have the power that David has when he sings.”
I know. Same here. And I can’t even explain what it is to people I know who wonder “what it IS?!!”..that’s captured me so (they think I’m nuts)…cuz no matter how many words I use to explain it to myself, they are never sufficient. I mean I KNOW what it is…but words are just insufficient.
I tried once to simplify to a friend of mine…”He touches my heart”…and that is true, both as a singer and person. As a singer, I’ve said just what you said…there ARE some great singers I’ve enjoyed, and loved…but NO ONE has ever moved me the way David’s singing does. …and it’s a Good Place.
It just is what it is…he’s a master craftsman with music…and it’s one of those things you can’t explain…but you just know it when you feel it.
…and those other people who still need it explained…well, I say, your heart’s gotta be asleep, man?!!
ps. oh yea and don’t you worry….those fangirl moments, and yes, concerts!!.. will be coming back in due time………………!
pps.. meant to also say, tks for posting that Cambio session again…hadn’t seen that in ages and forgot about it.
Love that version of Angels too!…and how he explains why he loves it. I love that he feels that way because I always say I could hear that song everyday for the rest of my life… it is soaring, calming and always beautiful, and, to me, a signature song of his.
Nice to hear his take on why it seems to affect people so.
BREAKING NEWS! David Archuleta won the First Barkada Choice Awards!
First Barkada (means Teens/Friends) Choice Awards is an award – giving body that recognizes Filipino talents and international celebrities who made their mark among the channel’s viewers the past year. David Archuleta won the category ICON of the year, beating Justin Bieber, Charice and Taylor Swift. The Filipino Archies once again proved that the Philippines is an Archuleta country. Kudos to all the Archies in the Philippines! *group hug*
———————--
About 10 Archies will attend the awards night which will be televised on Studio23. I gave my slot to a younger Archie, haha. David has been tweeted of the award. Pinoy Archies hope that he could send a vlog that could be played during the awards night -- wouldn’t that be grand?
David @ 2011 World Report
So proud to see David on-stage looking so grand & fine & so in-command. That last screen shot of him with that glory note -- the way he pumped that mic — as Randy would say -- he is the bomb!
I really can’t wait to see the whole concert on TV and to buy the DVD. David was in prime singing mode that night!
I think the MOTAB concert was the inspiration of getting the Christmas album out in the market fast & quick, had David been free to do it a year earlier than he actually did. Remember all the questions why he did it so early in his career?
Personally, I don’t mind him doing it cos it is one of the best collection of Christmas carols out there. Plus it gave us that CFTH Tour.
But the timing now makes sense.
I hope the DVD also includes some interviews w/ him in that tux. He looks so dapper. Dope!
I have so many favorites. But DLSGDM is one of my best favorites. I made an MP3 of the finale performance and I listen to it all the time on my stereo.
Me too, FREOFAN!
What I love best after his performance was Randy’s reaction. He gushed and couldn’t help himself heap on the compliments.
Esp re how he uncontrollably exclaim “CRA-ZEH”, even spilling over Paula’s time, LOL!
Wow -- that brings back such memories -- the anxiety, worry and excitement of that night. And I’m struck by how young David looks there. He certainly has grown up.
Thanks to ShelleyFOD, a new video showing David rehearsing w MOTAB

Thanks for all the video footage!
There’s a video I’m looking for and I wonder if anyone here has the link. In 2009, a video released by AI that showed behind the scenes during various seasons. For a couple of minutes, a producer(??) mentions that when David would come out on the stage, girls would go wild and once, one even fainted. As she’s talking, they show footage of David wearing a white jacket over a yellow polo shirt. Near the end of the clip, Brooke White is interviewed. I thought it was called “Backstage with Idol” or something along those lines.
i.miss.david.too. Someone please help me find this video.
A cover of ALTNOY -- what do u think?
For me, decent attempt. But it really shows that the piece is such a challenge
ALTNOY: Interesting attempt. She skipped the hardest parts. I have always thought that song was a voice killer, and am amazed that David gets those notes right 99% of the time.
But then, it’s David.
Dang, I want to go to Myrtle Beach. It’s at least a 12 hour drive, though. And no good airport to fly into. I’m going to have to wait for something closer. (New York, New York…..what a wonderful town. Right David?)
DESERTRAT -- I have that video. It is a clip from 25 Things You don’t Know About Idol. Let me check

Marlie -- the ALTNOY cover is actually a he?
Whaddyaknow, it would appear NASCAR caught David’s fancy, enuff for him to go back the next day! Read on from the blog of The Fast and the Fabulous
“…
So as soon as the race was over I raced across pit road along with all of the people that had Victory Lane access so I could get in place to get a good shot. This is yet another time where the Hard Card comes in handy. I got to be inside of the roped off area and got some shots of Harvick entering Victory Lane.
It was then that I noticed American Idol alum David Archuleta nearby. He sang the National Anthem before the start of the Nationwide Series race the day before so it was cool to see that he came back the next day to see the Sprint Cup race too. He was standing right next to me so I asked him if I could take his picture and then he asked the people he was with if he looked OK. They assured him he looked great. So I snapped the shot (at right). Doesn’t he look like he’s 10-years-old? You wouldn’t think he’s going to turn 21 this year.(w/ pix shown)

MARLIE -- David ran right over? Maybe. But my main concern right now is this: IF David will play ball, WILL HE WEAR SHORTS?
JR: David would look great in shorts if he will give in to wearing them like the other guys. We’ll see.
Marlie, I haven’t been here for a long time but dropped by and found your super article with so many great videos to see. I have found some that I have never seen before and that is hard to imagine but true.
I looked at your list of columists and guest writers and there is a wealth of amazing writings and videos here in your library.
Many fans have never seen these articles and it is well worth it to read them and see the history of David and his fans from the beginning. Thanks for keeping them available to see…
SB
Thanks also to JR for all the news and videos that you continue to bring to the sites.
SB
SandyBeaches -- good to see you here! I hope we have many more years of David Archuleta archival materials to collect, to ooh and ahhh over, and to make available to those that love David like we do. It amazes me to look at the vast material here sometimes as well. But I’m hoping for much, much more (read that as Tour, David, please Tour!)
JR, would you or another Spanish speaker mind translating the exchange David had in Spanish with a journalist in the second NASCAR vid? Inquiring minds want to know. lol
ARCHIE -- TEEN ICON OF THE YEAR (fanvid) @ BARKADA CHOICE AWARDS
Wasn’t able to join the group cos, well am still working till now! But one of the guys uploaded their footage. The screams, LOL!!!
It will air on the 18h so I will capture the broadcast, for hopefully a higher quality vid
SB -- re the Spanish conversation between DA & the reporter, basically the latter asked David whether “he speaks (hablo) Spanish well (completamente) or just a little (poquito solamente).”
To which our David replied: “Not much or just a little (un poco). But I can understand. I need, nay I’d like (quiero) to practice more so I can get better [in speaking Spanish].”
At FOD, as a reaction to the 1st Barkada Choice Teen Icon Award
“Doesn’t the Philippines seem like the land of milk and honey and bright people who know their music and artists? “
I dunno but that made me LMAO! Is that a run about commentary on the state of affairs in them parts? Well considering the hype that a song like FRIDAY is getting there, i.dunno….
ps: Then I saw snowanglez today — “I want to move to a land where David Archuleta is king”
Oh man… (chuckles)
Not yet the official footage but an HQ version of the Barkada Choice Award for Teen Icon thanks to ashztar
Thanks JR for the translation I appreciate it!
What I liked most in your response is the…
To which “our David” replied. That is pretty much a universal
thought!
SB
SB -- I know! That’s why our David was never in danger of being eliminated during his Season. He jnever had to go through a Daughtry or Pia moment -- although post-Idol stories reveal he was always ready to go home every week (talk about being pragmatic). W/o adoubt, his fanbase had (and still has) his back no matter what.
I think he is the most adopted Idol/person in the world, haha.
From Archierx:
From Fanscene’s twitter: http://twitter.com/fanscene
We hear David’s new band is really something special! He’s picked some extremely talented musicians. Can’t wait until he introduces them!
We hear they’re jazz musicians with fantastic improvisational skills…the word “prodigies” was mentioned…
And then from Kari’s twitter: http://twitter.com/kariontour
@andrea_1234 why a sad face? #davidarchietour2011 David is doing things this year. You will see him.
So I guess Kari wasn’t part of WEG, and when he dropped Melinda, he didn’t drop Kari.
Interesting article on why Pia was voted off American Idol. And they mention “our David”.
I’ll link to the whole article, but this is the part I like the best:
- Competitor depth. Last year, she would have gotten more votes at this point against the likes of Aaron Kelly and Michael Lynche. This year, “Idol’s” deeper pool of competitors meant many have their own strong constituent followers doing mass voting, be it Scott McCreery, Lauren Alaina or James Durbin. Those three contestants who have yet to land in the bottom three. MJ, who ranked Pia on top of her “power” list last week, thinks that while fans are enjoying the season, nobody is generating David Archuleta/Adam Lambert-level fan bases. Interesting.
See the whole article here http://blogs.ajc.com/american-idol-blog/2011/04/11/nigel-lythgoe-pia-was-never-a-frontrunner/?cxntlid=thbz_hm
And may I add the Clay fanbase.
It takes undeniable charisma to evoke the depth and breadth of loyalty that DA, AL & CA were able to do so. I’m afraid Pia, with her “perfect attempt to deliver the perfect vocal performance” failed to elicit such levels of fandom.
I guess that’s why it is called the “IT” factor. You never know….

From BILLBOARD -
The Best-Selling Non-Winning ‘American Idol’ Finalists
As rumors abound over Pia Toscano’s possible record deal with Interscope (and, in juicier news, an alleged romance with a fellow reality show hopeful), “American Idol” viewers this week face the first episode following the power ballad vocalist’s surprising elimination Thursday (April 7).
Still, Toscano can find comfort in the impressive sales -- and additional achievements -- of prior “Idol” contestants who fell short of donning the contest’s crown.
Here is a look at the five best-selling non-winning “American Idol” finalists ranked by total U.S. album sales, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
05 Jennifer Hudson -- 1.060M
04 David Archuleta -- 1.084M
03 Kellie Pickler -- 1.3M
02 Clay Aiken -- 5.0M
01 Daughtry 6.1M

But TOUR DATES! With a more SOULFUL David!
OK, am quitting coffee for good
cutter: Oh, the anticipation for a tour is starting to build. I can’t wait!
JR: Gah! Tour Dates! Well, that just makes my heart sing!

@JamilaC tweeted today
“Duffy’s Hope & OC104 is giving away 2 tickets every morning to celebrity basketball game!! Tune in to WIN a chance 2 meet @DavidArchie live”
When was the last time you anticipated seeing someone play basketball for the mere prospect of seeing him in shorts? LOL
Ok I can just stop breathing if this is really really true! Courtesy of Somethingaboutarchie http://www.somethingboutarchie.com/2011/04/touring.html?spref=tw Assuming Mark Nilan Jr. is referring specifically to David, which I think he is. *thud*
@vermeer….OMGoodness I just saw the news on another website and came here to see if everyone heard…I started crying of course. I MISS HIM SO BAD and the word TOUR is my favorite word as of this moment, lol.
MAKE SURE YOU ARE SITTING DOWN IF SPECULATION IS TRUE THAT MARK, DA’S NEW KEYBOARDIST IS REF INDEED TO DAVID:
Chris Barton
Congrats! Does that mean you will do some touring too? ♥

Mark Nilan Jr.
thanks everyone! yeah aunt chris there will be touring this summer both here and in europe and then a month long christmas tour as well
YAY!
Fe, JR, I know that we still need to hear from the man himself but it is becoming more likely Mark was talking about a David tour, not Glee tour which is also happening this summer here and abroad. He tweeted a fan back saying he is not part of the Glee tour!!! GAH!!! Is it premature to get excited??!!

The members of his new band are real talented dudes. You get a feeling that the eclectic mix is deliberate. OMGosh, the possibilities…
And I think the members are getting a preview of what it’s like to be w/ DA, given the fans reactions to them, LOL

An update -- Celebrity Basketball Game
VIP Tickets SOLD OUT!!
General Admission Still Available
I wonder why??????
DUFFY INTERVIEW -- DA mentioned
Fer sure, will upload David’s interview which I think will be available by Friday
Meantime, would be good to get to know what the event is all about. Also help promote HOPE
Giddy w/ the prospects of an EU Tour. So much plus points
- expand his market
- create new markets
- more experiences for him
And I would be, he will be appreciated there…
But most important -- am happy for the EU fans esp AnnieDAFG & EMBE
I’m thrilled about all the Tour news! US tour, European Tour, One-month Christmas Tour. I’ve got my frequent flyer miles all ready to go!
Giddy, teary (yes, Fe, Me, too!)
Why does this guy make us so happy? The mere mention of tour and our collective pulse starts thumping and jumping.
I was on the phone with my husband tonight (I’m traveling) and said, “David picked a new band!”
Silence.
“You know, David Archuleta!”, I said.
He says, “Honey, I know which David you are talking about. I’m trying not to chuckle at how happy you are.”
Yes, happy
Marlie -- luuuuuv your husband’s reaction.
Even here in the office, they noticed that my smile is different! Like a have a secret. Didn’t even realize it.
We’re really goners, no?
Yes, JR, goners! You’d think this love for David would fade….nope!
Wow, all this talk about tour is really exciting! I hope its all true. Can you imagine all the new videos we’ll be able to peruse at our leisure? It’s a good thing that the internet is endless. If his videos were tangible instead of electronics; could you imagine how much storage space would be needed to fit all of “David stuff” in one place?
Phone-in Interview w/ OC104
While we are waiting, hoping for more David news, I will share a “video” I just stumbled upon:
Eva Cassidy, “Son of a Preacher Man.”
OLEM -- thanks for bringing Eva’s SOAPM. Something great to wake up to!
And that is how you do it. Yes am looking at you Haley Reinhart!
olem: That is fantastic -- thanks so much!
PS. I was glad Paul was voted off AI tonight. He’s bugged me since day 1. (Sorry!)
Great review of TOSOD
David Archuleta
David does a good job at evolving from his self-titled debut album just enough to pick up new fans without alienating his core fan base. For most artists, the second album is the most crucial. Either a big step forward, or a big step backward in a singer’s career. Most critics think David’s taking a big step forward all the way to the other side of down. He’s a little older and a little more willing to play with sounds and vocal arrangements but he knows who he is. David Archuleta has seemingly found his kind of perfect in this tough industry and it’s reflected in this stellar second project.

Found this in tweeterland thanks to archuletafanscene:
David Archuleta chosen for “The One Hundred” honored for fight against cancer
http://archuletafanscene.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/cancer-honor.jpg
According to Ashley, “Despite what the email says, I’ve gotten confirmation from the assistant director, Raquel, who said that David has accepted the honor but will not be attending the event.”

I dropped by the US Stream of AndrewFromm last night and caught this played — one of David’s new but unreleased song -- NOTICE ME
Here’s my stab at the lyrics and as usual there is a line or two that I cannot make out, LOL
I.
I tried to find the wordsI try to find the wordsWhen you walk by
I just can’t explain
the way I feel inside
II.
My friends keep saying
You’re untouchable
And I can’t help
Feeling invisible
Refrain:
I can never seem to catch a rideI’d give anything to catch your eyeSo you can see me in a diff’rent lightSo you could see me in a different lightTell me what its gonna take cos
I wish you would notice me
If you’d only give me just one chance
I could be The One: “Here I am!”
What its gonna take to understand
Wish you would notice me
Notice (3x) me
Notice (3x) me
III.
You’re gone, the fright that minute (?)
Seems to fade
I’m charmed to you
And I can’t look away
IV.
We come from different places
Girl I know, whoooo
If we must collide
It could be beautiful
(Repeat Refrain EXCEPT last line)
Bridge:
I want you to know
How amazing you are
You leave me breathless
You didn’t even try
But you’ve stolen my heart
And I don’t want it baaaack…
I don’t want it baa-aacck…
(Repeat Refrain till fade)
Andrew has written songs for artists like Backstreet Boys, Marc Anthony, Nsync, Jesse McCartney, Selena Gomez, Jordan Pruitt and many others….. According to him, David wrote most of the lyrics of this song. Hmmmmm
The audio quality is not that good cos somewhere in the song Andrew even coughed but David’s voice still pushes through the technical barriers. That plaintive tone in his voice -- GAH! Only him… only him…
NOTICE ME could easily be the theme song/national anthem of infatuated archies, LOL
YAY!

HEYA/SPEED OF LIGHT -- BTR previewed it just recently -- listen to the 2nd song. One version of the song is meant for the manga/anime market.
This is a good tactical direction for David as a song writer cos that is a lucrative section of the animation/gaming industry.

Hi JR and everyone else!
I’m trying really hard not to get too freaked out over the EU tour possibility for two reasons. One; it’s not confirmed yet and two; I’m afraid that I won’t be able to go since the baby’s due July 29th.
I know JR has already created a great visual of me at the doctor’s office trying to explain why the baby has to stay inside a little longer
And right now it seems like that scenario is very possible!
just poppin’ in to wish everyone a great saturday and to say “hello” to embe. just think, in a few more hours the fanbase will have basketball pics to gush over & to over analyze!
EMBE -- My imagined scenario between you & your doctor — LOL. That would be a hoot if the timing really comes to pass
New thread! Decided to make a new thread for Duffy’s Hope Basketball Game
If you find pix, quotes, tweets about the game, pls post it there, ok?
