Sometimes I think David knows what we know. He knows how much we see in him. He knows that his sophistication makes us forget that he is a teenager and expect too much from him. And he lets us know he knows by giving us that look, but only every once in a while, and thereby, of course, proving that all of our outsized expectations of him are entirely justified and absolutely true. I sound like Orly when I say that David is nothing but a tease. Alas, I am resigned to the fact that it will be years before I hear him sing “Isn’t It a Pity” and “So Easy to Love,” and the Jimmy Webb catalog, and Elton John. But in the meantime, I’ll take this pic, and interpret it to mean, “patience; there’s a lot more to come.”
— Rascal
Those eyes say it all, don’t they? 😛
We’ve come a long way from “Sears Photo” pics and Christmas from the Heart amateur covers, haven’t we? 😉
You know, even as a kid, am not one to hang up posters, pix, etc…. I do collect them and take good care of them. You can say am just the low-key admirer.
But dang-it-gosh *^%$#W?{|+*!;kkfnuhfgggskkhhh!&*&^% I think this one calls for an exception
You know, that thingy below his arm, if anyone is good in photoshop, you can easily tweak that into a pillow to match the dreamy eyes and bedroom hair…
just sayin’… since am on the topic of hanging up posters in the bedroom…
Well Rascal, my mama always said there would be (David) decades like this…we are just getting started on the Archuride of our lives!
Good gracious, what a wonderful picture!
HG: The eyes. Oh, those eyes.
Do we know who the photographer is?
Nice to see professional photos! Yes, I try to remember patience.
The photographer is Matt Clayton who did the fabulous black and white pics. (My avatar is one.) I was thrilled to see that it was Matt behind the camera! David is obviously comfortable with him. Love his work. (I wonder if newly empowered David requested him. Hmm.) This picture is a doozy (particularly, that gaze), but truth be told, I love the older b&w ones even better. Still, what a HUGE improvement over the pics for the last CD. Score!!
Love the way you cropped the picture, Rascal. Cut to the chase. Makes one weak in the knees to be skewered by that gaze. Woh.
Life vest over here please. Drowning in those eyes!
I had to laugh today when I saw a tweet that made fun of the font used for his name, because seriously I did not see anything else (and I consider myself a typophile!) except for those EYES!!!
Supposedly his official site crashed today when people got wind of the picture being up there! A cyber stampede LOL!!
Rascal-Talk about not playing fair. That “zoom” you did for us up above. :O Guess, I will have to live with it. Caramba! lol
Bookaholic, I agree! You can see his level of comfort from the photos.
When I see a Clayton photo, the photos also make David appear like he does in real life.
Who would have thought that that photo had its “humble” beginnings from here:
http://images.starpulse.com/Photos/Previews/David-Archuleta-j02.jpg
I like this chap, Matt Clayton. Bookaholic, that photoshoot you refer to is also my favorite of David’s. You can see some of Matt Clayton’s other work on his site at http://mattclaytonphotography.blogspot.com/
Oh, and here’s that awesome photoshoot
It’s miles ahead of the CRUSH cover *rolls eyes*, and the Sears pictures LOL! JR that photo screams NO! 🙂
I was wrong! First time for everything. haha Matt Clayson was NOT the photographer for this album shoot. Rats! He’s my favorite. Maybe he will be someday soon--I hope! Matt posted a retort today the whole of which can be found on Snarky’s.
Regarding the shoot, he said:
“I was not the photographer for David’s album cover. That was left in the capable hands of a much better photographer whose work I greatly admire. David is very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with this photographer. You will not be disappointed with the results. I was, however, on set but used in a different capacity.”
Maybe they involved him so he could help David feel comfortable in front of the camera coz he excels at that, no doubt. If Matt likes the photographer, perhaps our hopes will be justified even without Matt snapping the pics.
I wonder who the actual photographer was? Sounds like a well-known one. Annie Lebowitz? Just shooting ideas!
Selena-inspired
‘Idol’s Archuleta to honor musical Muse Sunday at Tejano Music Awards
SAN ANTONIO — David Archuleta began his singing career with the music of Selena Quintanilla-Perez.
“One of the first songs I learned was ‘Como La Flor,’” said the former “American Idol” runner-up.
On Sunday, Archuleta will pay homage to one of his musical inspirations during the 30th annual Tejano Music Awards in San Antonio.
The Tejano Music Awards are part of the Tejano Music Historic Weekend, which also includes the 7th Annual Tejano Music National Convention and the 6th Annual Tejano Academy Awards.
Archuleta said he sang parts of “Como La Flor” a cappella during his tour last year, including a stop in San Antonio.
He can’t wait to return and sing the full version Sunday.
“It’ll be fun,” Archuleta said, “to finally get to do that and sing one of the songs that had a big impact on me.”
The awards also honor today’s Tejano artists, as well as the past three decades of the genre.

OOT but this may interest some of you:
Growth prospects sound pitchy for American Idol owner CKX
Robert F.X. Sillerman’s audacious bid to become the ultimate Baby Boomer may not be over. But as Ryan Seacrest might put it on American Idol — the mega hit TV show that Sillerman controls — the onetime radio and concert mogul’s dream isn’t safe.
Sillerman’s quirky little company, CKX — which, in addition to Idol, bought the marketing rights to generational icons Elvis Presley and Muhammad Ali — said on Monday that it’s in talks about “a possible transaction involving the sale of the company.” CKX says it made the announcement “in response to market rumors,” language that seems designed to trivialize an apparently solid report The Wall Street Journal posted on its website on Friday.
The paper says that JPMorgan private-equity unit One Equity Partners is prepared to pay about $558 million, or $6 a share. If correct, then that would be quite a come-down from 2007, when Sillerman and Idol-creator Simon Fuller offered $1.3 billion to take the company private. That deal collapsed during the 2008 credit crunch.
Sillerman created CKX in 2005 with the belief that digital technologies have sapped the power of TV networks, radio stations, record companies and other traditional media to create mass-market superstars. TiVos, iPods, cellphones and DVD players give consumers control over what they see and hear — and they tend to choose names they already know.
He snapped up trophy superstars and searched for opportunities to market them. At one point there was talk, which he neither confirmed nor denied, that he wanted to land the rights to The Beatles.
But Sillerman has yet to prove that his big idea is durable enough to sustain CKX.
Prospects for American Idol, which accounted for 24% of the company’s $328 million in revenues in 2009, sound pitchy. Revenues from the show, related merchandise, and the annual summer concert tour fell 17.5% last year.
And who knows what will happen in 2011 when the show’s biggest star, Simon Cowell, leaves to prepare a U.S. version of his own talent show: The X Factor.
Fuller also is moving on. He left CKX in January to create XIX Entertainment, although he remains a consultant for Idol.
Seacrest will remain through 2012 as a result of a contract he signed with CKX last year. It guarantees the show host at least $30 million a year in salary and $15 million in merchandising rights, although an undisclosed part of that would be shared with the other two largest stakeholders in the show — Fox and FremantleMedia.
Meanwhile, there isn’t a whole lot of shaking going on in the Elvis business. Ticket sales to Graceland were up slightly last year, but revenues at the adjacent hotels were down a bit. Yet CKX took a write-off on major redesign plans for the tourist attraction, saying in its latest annual report that there’s a “strong likelihood” that they’ll be overhauled or dropped.
Sillerman also has to keep an eye on the calendar. He used his 21% stake in CKX as collateral for a $50 million personal loan, according to company filings at the Securities and Exchange Commission. He could be considered in default if CKX shares drop below $3 on any day up to April 26, and $4 after that date.

Freofan, what would an Annie Leibowitz photograph of David be?! Fuel for the imagination!
These Tejano Music Awards… JR, are these going to be broadcast anywhere? Or is this a YouTube deal for us fans? 😉
Ronald, I know, interesting to think about. My take is that David may refuse to work with her given her past photos of Miley.
I got the impression that it was a male photog who did David’s single release pic. I think it was from what I read from that Matt Clayton response. But hey, who knows.
Curious why we still don’t know who it was.
RONALD -- no live telecast of Tejano Music Awards. But we can listen live here:

I popped open the web to go somewhere else just now, but something was calling me over to TDC. ohhhhhhhhhhh… I see what it is now (pun intended). Gasp. Rascal, you’ve cropped to the chase!
Hmmm… not Matt Clayton’s hotography? OK, well, nice job Anonymous. (I bet they’re hunkering down in their twitter bunker now, getting ready for the onslaught!)
highervibe: hotography -- LOL.

According to tejanobeat:
“David Archuleta got a standing ovation & check YouTube i saw a lot of cam phones recording. Now he is singing como la flor w/pete astudillo!”
Oh did I mention that David was seen sitting with Selena’s family? I forgot where I read it so I can cut & paste 🙂

I have so much work to do that I’m staying up late -- and watching for just one video (please!) to show up on YT. Can’t wait to hear David.
marlie7 -- for you:
Oh knotliser! You just beat me to it haha! Standing O!!
Hi vermeer! Waiting impatiently for Como la flor…..
I hope the second one is uploaded soon too. What an evening this must have been for David, and Lupe. Can’t wait to see more videos tomorrow. Someone heard (source?) that Univision will televise TMA next week. Keeping fingers crossed it’s true.
knotliser, you are good!! ok bye gotta go watch…
knotliser! I love you! 🙂
Ok now I can go to bed! All the excitement tonight with twitterers has me exhausted. David was awesome!!!!
knotliser, great to see you!! Hope you are doing well.
ronald, saw you tweet once last night. I called out to you, but you never reappeared. I’m not vermeer in twitterworld, but penciltopaper in case you’re interested. 🙂
Sharing one more thing. Fabulous pictures from red carpet. Lupe looks so gorgeous.
http://archierx.com/content.php?571
Good night knotliser, Marlie and JR!
Goodnight vermeer and marlie7. Great to see you both. I’ve been in lurk mode lately in David World, but couldn’t help myself tonight. I’m just about done in now. How soon can we get a Spanish album? Pretty please por favor????
TMA -- David Archuleta -- No me queda mas
TMA -- David Archuleta -- Como la flor
Lupe must be so proud of David 🙂 Am not even a relative and here I am teary-eyed with the ovation he got.
That’s one thing nice about the Latin community -- they never hold back when it comes to showing their appreciation.
Once again, bravo David!
BTW, got a flat tire on my work today — open manhole, grrrrrr… Good thing there were a lot of peeps willing to help. So am thankful for that.
Another thing that am thankful? SBL was playing on the radio when I hit the highway. Saweeeet!
What David can do to a good song in Spanish cannot be described. What an evening! Am so excited for this next album and for the Spanish album to follow. We get a taste of what that is going to sound like and I, for one, am excited beyond anything I could have imagined. David’s voice is gold!
knotliser -- so glad to see you here! Yes, a spanish album please 🙂
JR- glad you are alright and that is great to hear that there were people there to help you.
wow, what a day!! David and Lupe looked so classy and beautiful. 🙂
JR: Glad there were people to help you!
Ram: Good to see you! This is certainly a great day in Archuworld. I love seeing Lupe with David.
RAM -- something that runs in the blood cannot be denied. Falling into that rhythmic, sensual Latin beat could be 2nd nature to David.
What is interesting in the post TMA buzz, David’s name is as much in the limelight as Selena’s.
Yup, me thinks people are indeed taking notice.
Glad to see that MCL is up and about. She has posted an article on AI:
American Idol Updates Courtesy Of MCL Readers
“… truly hope that the producers get their act together and produce a quality show this season. Yes, Rickey Minor is gone, Simon Cowell’s gone, Paula Abdul is gone – but that, to me, means a fresh new start.
They need to borrow a page from the “So You Think You Can Dance” people and start populating the show with creative singers possessing consummate vocal skills. Anything less will produce another snooze fest, similar to last season and Season 6.
Personally, Season 7 was the best season – the singers were diverse, enormously talented, extremely personable and very passionate about their music. And experience counts! I would love to see singers, who have been meticulously honing their craft under the radar, be given the opportunity for discovery through the American Idol process. Season 7 did all this and more and this is why the Season 7 American Idol Summer Tour was such a success.

Thanks Marlie. Seeing and hearing David sing No Me Queda Mas and Como La Flor means a lot to me. Looks like the audience in San Antonio was very happy with the performance David did in honor of Selena.
DA @ the TMA Red Carpet -- a slideshow thanks to jennyhaleybsu
Sony BMG Manila confirms that the worldwide album release date for David’s sophomore pop album is 14 Sept, YAY!
Thanks to hushcats, DA Red Carpet vid
David is so suited for these passionate Spanish love songs it’s not even funny. I think that years down the road people will be tracing the roots of David’s passion and soul in his voice back to two very different sources: his roots in church gospel/soul music and in Latin music. So interesting how they both fuse together in David.
I too am very much looking forward to a Spanish album. There’s so much room for expression with those soft Spanish consonants 😉 and inflections for a David to play with. Delicioso!
Vermeer, I tweet from my phone but I don’t spend much time actually going on to Twitter. I’m more of a Facebook gal. 🙂

I shall now go listen to and watch these fabulous “front & center HD” vids before going to bed. Thank you JR! You’re the best.
I meant to say I shall now go listen and watch them AGAIN! Been doing that again and again and… His voice is truly glorious.

Teen Sensation David Archuleta Readies Sophomore Album for September 14th Release
New Single ‘Something ‘Bout Love’
NEW YORK, July 15 /PRNewswire/ — Fan favorite David Archuleta is set to release his sophomore effort Other Side of Down on September 14th. 19 Recordings/Jive Records is launching the album with the upbeat single, “Something ‘Bout Love” co-written by Archuleta, Sam Hollander, Dave Katz and Chris DeStefano and produced by S*M* & Sluggo. The “Something ‘Bout Love” digital single will be commercially available on July 20th and the radio impact date is slated for August 2nd. Declan Whitebloom (Jonas Brothers, Colbie Caillat, Jesse McCartney) has been tapped to direct the music video.
“I’m really looking forward to releasing this album. Most of the songs on the album represent thoughts and experiences that I’ve personally gone through,” says David. “I hope this album helps people understand more of where I’m coming from as an artist and as a person. It’s about moving forward in life, making progress in accomplishing your goals and dreams while appreciating what life has given you.”
Earlier this year, David Archuleta earned the distinction of the “Best American Idol ever” in a Billboard magazine reader poll. Archuleta was the American Idol Season 7 runner-up in 2008, and he’s widely known for his exceptional vocal talent and charismatic boy next door charm. The 19-year-old Utah native received accolades for his self-titled 2008 debut; People magazine observed, “There’s a surprising freshness to his pop CD.” The album contained the hit song “Crush,” which has sold over 2.3 million digital units to date, and went on to sell over 750,000 albums. Last year, he released a seasonal album, Christmas From The Heart and it is certain to become a holiday staple for years to come.

http://www.professionalphotographer.co.uk/Magazine/Latest-Issue/Jake-Chessum-Interview <<<< transcription.
Enjoy is very interesting .
So we finally find out who the photographer is -- Bravo!
And I love what David said about the album -- “I’m really looking forward to releasing this album. Most of the songs on the album represent thoughts and experiences that I’ve personally gone through,” says David. “I hope this album helps people understand more of where I’m coming from as an artist and as a person. It’s about moving forward in life, making progress in accomplishing your goals and dreams while appreciating what life has given you.”
About the press release from Jive , i love they mentioned….
-- The billboard magazine poll, prouving that some of this polls actually works very well for the ‘good will’of the artist
-- Album sales , Crush sales 2,3 millions Yay!! ,and Christmas album like ‘holiday staple for years to come’ , good way to start the promo for that album this year.
-- and about the book : ”In June 2010, Archuleta penned his first book Chords of Strength: A Memoir of Soul, Song, And The Power of Perseverance which debuted on the New York Times Best Seller list. The autobiography chronicles lessons he’s learned in his young life so far and encourages young people to follow their dreams.
David is currently on a national book signing tour and in the process of completing his forthcoming album. ”
They include a very good resumen of David’s short but impressive career. 🙂
Only thing they missed? The Alma award to breakout artist 🙁
Saw this at Snarkies, though not yet in David’s OS:

jackryan4da , I guess this promo is a fanmade promo, this picture is an old one from Matt Clayton photoshoot .
@jambajim cracks me up!
“@DavidArchie’s new album title: “Other Side Of Down.” I expect song titles like “To The Right Of The Left” & “The Opposite Of Opposite.” about 9 hours ago via web”
Marlie, I was about to reprint that paragraph myself. It’s great to see David expressing that “most” of the songs on the album convey his own experiences and thinking. If that is any portent of “being inside the music” that Rascal alluded to in regard to SBL, then I think we’ll see an album that is musically and thematically satisfying.
JR, the album title IS quite David, isn’t it? He seems to play with self-contradictions and opposites a lot: “Zero Gravity”, “A Little Too Not Over You”, “Not a Very Good Liar”, “Somebody Out There (a.k.a. The Person Right In Front of You!)” LOL
Yes Ronald, it is quite David. May be a subconscious expression of the dualities in his young life.

Teen Sensation David Archuleta to perform at The New Albany Classic
[New Albany, Ohio] – The New Albany Classic Invitational Grand Prix & Family Day announced today that American Idol celebrity David Archuleta will be the headline entertainment for the Tween Brands Concert at The Classic, presented by Justice on Sunday, September 26, 2010.
Archuleta was the Season 7 runner-up for American Idol, and proved to be one of the best young phenoms to ever grace the Idol stage. Inspired by Les Miserables at the age of six, David began singing and used his angelic voice to win the Junior Vocal Competition on Star Search in 2003. On April 7, 2010, he returned to the Idol stage for a special performance of Imagine by John Lennon. He is currently working on his sophomore album “Other Side of Down” in stores September 14.
Past performers at the New Albany Classic include Jordin Sparks and Mitchel Musso (2009); Demi Lovato and Jordan Pruitt (2008); The Jonas Brothers (2007); Truth Squad (2006) and Hi-5 (2005).
Now in its 13th year, The Classic is a family focused event founded and hosted by Abigail Wexner as the primary fundraiser for the Columbus Coalition Against Family Violence. The all-day event is held at the Wexner residence in New Albany and features traditional carnival rides, games and activities as well as the Tween Brands Concert. The day culminates with an internationally sanctioned invitational show jumping Grand Prix featuring thirty of the top professional riders from North America and Europe.

JR: Loved those pictures of David in the helicopter…he looked a little green around the gills in one of them LOL
When I go to iTunes tomorrow to buy “Something ‘Bout Love,” I plan to purchase also a song I discovered last night on “Southern Crossroads,” a radio blues program broadcast locally on Sundays.
The song has a country sound and is called “Eudora’s Jitney,” referring to the grocery store in Jackson MS where writer Eudora Welty shopped. Its message is one that I think many of us who have been around a while can relate to.
The song can he heard here: http://www.myspace.com/thejuvenators
I think this can serve as a filler, on the eve of SBL’s launch:
Hair flip, anyone? LOL

Alright!
Smiling here while burning the midnight candle. On Channel V right now, all of David’s videos are being played 🙂
Oh, that homemade video is adorable! And so much in the spirit of what would appeal to David. Very age appropriate, I’d say. And two cuties as the main characters!
I saw this useful and very relevant info from FOD, as posted by Shell
“Good morning everyone,
I am going to email the frontpage and see if Larissa from David Beyond Borders can help make things clearer about the music store on the official site, I’m so bad at explaining things, lol, but I’ll try since she’s asleep, love to send some reassurance for this passionate fanbase:
1) David Beyond Borders will be gifting mainly from the Official site music store which is owned by Sony Music store, they’ve been contacted to insure that these sales from the mp3 download would count towards Billboard and they will, now gifting is done in an email from after we make the purchase and a copy of the receipt with an order is sent to DBB’s mail and then we can proceed in gifting, we will have order #’s for each of the SBL purchases.
2) While iTunes is a very visible place and we will still gift from there on a sponsor to to sponsor basis, many giftees in the past haven’t picked up their downloads that were gifted out, many aren’t able to understand the instructions and the give up and then the donations have gone wasted, but we will still gift as long as they have a US account set up or previously gifted there from TeamArchie in the past, so both options are still there, Amazon is another place that can be gifted from, but with testing the Sony music store option, and not needing a downloader, we will stick with Sony music store.
Sorry to be so long-winded, I hope I wasn’t too confusing;)”

Thanks JR. I just bought SBL! Whoa, set you free!
Oh, JR -- thanks for the heads-up! I just bought it, too, and gifted Christina, my DA concert buddy (son’s girlfriend). I noticed the song is already #117 on the singles chart on iTunes. I’m interested to see how it does by tomorrow night 🙂
