David Archuleta Amazed After Reaching 1 Million Twitter Followers
David Archuleta checked in with his Twitter followers (@DavidArchie) moments ago after learning that he had reached one million followers on the micro blogging web site. The ‘American Idol’ season seven runner-up said through his assistant Kari Sellards:
No way! That is amazing that it got to 1 million even while I am away! Please tell the fans that I am loving it here and having some really wonderful experiences, and that I can’t thank them enough for the support that they’ve shown even while I’m away! A part of my heart is always with them.
DESERTRAT -- yeah Murray UT sure knows how to throw a party! That was some reception.
David probably never expected that he would be the center of that much attention way back then.
Can you imagine once he gets back from his mission? If not for the respect and admiration we have for Lupe, I think some Archie mothers might think of lining up after Lupe to welcome back David at the airport! LOL
HAYAG went offline as the Road to Makeover was about to come in, LOL. Perfect timing.
But I saw the epi and recorded in my celfone.
EMHEP showed @DavidArchie during the concert scene where Andie, Ma & Grandma attended. Andie (w/ Mom) got a pic with @DavidArchie. 🙂
Let’s hope I find a good version later. Am hopeful 🙂Uploading nowThanks JR. Sounds sweet!!
When David met Andie -- DA appearance @ Extreme Makeover, subtitled (aired 10 May 2012)
I screencapped an image from the video to capture the pic of David with Andie, Mom & Grandma (can;t see her much because of the running ads) -- see above 🙂
Thank you @jackryan4da.
Hope hayag.com will be on our side this sunday. 🙁
When I got David’s Tweet (via Kari) yesterday morning, I was like…. Waaaaa!!!!! When he said, “A part of my heart is always with them.” -- well, it was just so sweet I teared up.
Hee Hee -- what he does to us!
Thanks JR! So sweet!! ..and you rock.
Marlie, That message from David warmed my heart too!! He is so special!
