Reminiscing about TheArchuleta @ Idol Tour
The 2012 AI Summer Tour wrapped up last week, with Manila as the last stop. Too bad they could not do that for Season 7, cos that would have been a riot! The two Davids were able to attract a spill-over crowd of almost 100k. Can you imagine if AIS7′s top 10 toured? We have the ...
Full Circle
Being the crazy ODD Idol fan that I am, the recent season 8 finale got me thinking about what has transpired in the life and career of David Archuleta since that fateful night, almost a year ago, when he came in second to David Cook during the 7th season of American Idol. Performances and ...

Graduation
Thrilling tour finale performance of “Angels” in Tulsa. Wow, David. Just wow. Update: Thanks to ronaldsf for the new video mix. Whoever thought David was inarticulate hasn’t been paying attention. Bittersweet is certainly the word, even for us. Keeping in mind the fact that they do get their pound of flesh first, last, and always, I do have ...
Archie’s Revenge!
This has to be one of my favorite photographs from the entire tour, taken last night in Charlotte. At the risk of reading too much into it (Mamma Josie insists, “he’s just being seventeen;” I remind her that she’s not a guy and couldn’t possibly understand the importance of such frat-boy style mischievousness), there is ...
Ladies and Gentlemen… Mr. David Archuleta.
This photograph from the Worcester show inspires me to imagine how exciting it will be when David can really carry a concert on his own. It’s hard to know when that will be. Some of you got very annoyed with me because I had issues with David’s performance at the concert I attended. I felt that ...
David’s Dad
There were a couple of things that Jeff said that gave me some encouragement about his current relationship with David. One was, “He really doesn’t need a lot of help from me, he knows what he wants.” That doesn’t sound to me like a man who is looking to imprint his own stamp on anything. Mamma ...
Reports from the Road II
David was plainly exhausted and admitted, finally, that he hadn’t been feeling well. He had given up dairy due to its phlegmatic properties (“but it’s also acidic,” he explained, “it’s weird”), but he had apparently fell off the wagon (see, he really is human). “I need to get off it again,” he said. When we first ...
Reports from the Road
Seven hours of traffic, torrential rains, and hit radio. I wanted to slit my wrists. To say that the trip did not have an auspicious beginning would be the height of understatement. I got a late start, but for good reason. I ran into Cody online and got some very inside information, some of which has ...
Workin’ the Crowd
David has displayed an ability to assess new situations rapidly and incorporate his learning without sacrificing any of his unique characteristics. The challenges involved in working a crowd can be formidable, but after several weeks of performances David has clearly raised his game in this regard. His affection for his home turf in Utah certainly ...
