Off topic, just an update on David’s trip to INDIA
Notes of compassion
by PRIYADARSHINI PAITANDY
Remember David Archuleta, the baby-faced first runner-up of ‘American Idol 7′? He’s coming to Chennai. What follows the announcement are shrieks of delight and a volley of queries —“When is he here? Where is he performing? Where to buy tickets?…”
Well, the singer will be here this weekend, but not for a concert. “I’ll be visiting Rising Star Outreach to meet children with leprosy, and their parents,” says David, in a phone interview. Rising Star Outreach (located in Kancheepuram district) works in close association with Marriott Home, which educates these children.
Marriott Home is an initiative by the Marriott group, and the event is part of Courtyard by Marriott’s fifth anniversary celebrations.
David has been associated with Rising Star Outreach for over a year now. “I was introduced to the organisation by my dentist, a good family friend of ours. He showed me the website. I didn’t even know that leprosy still existed,” he says. What shocked him most was that those with leprosy are still ostracised by society.
This is David’s first visit to India, and the singer says he is quite excited about it. But, his goal is to be able to give back something to the people he will be meeting. “I think I’ll get to sing for them. That will be a neat experience, as music is really special to me,” he says.
David, who’s released three albums so far, says his favourite singers include Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Eva Cassidy. Has he tried listening to Indian music? “I’ve heard Lata Mangeshkar when I was 15. I found her songs interesting,” he says.

I wanted to nominate Heaven from McAllen, Tx for best
“acapella” performance -- even though the video is dark and sideways.

I would like to nominate:
David Archuleta and John Cena at the Teen Choice Awards 2010 -- David Raps
For David Archuleta’s best “Rap” moment
also loved the intro at the beginning. lol
HG: I am braindead this morning…what is MTC?
MARLIE -- Mormon Tabernacle Choir?
Yes, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir performance!
Ha! See, braindead! Thanks 🙂
I’d like to nominate Best Live Performance -- Rockin’ the House:
New Year’s Eve -- TOSOD!!
Oops sorry dont know if that counts since it was New Year’s Eve!! DANG IT! haha
That squirrel video is hilarious.
Why am I not surprised that David attracts small woodland animals?
pabuckie -- of course it counts -- it was Dec 31, 2010 🙂
Rascal -- so glad to see you here -- I know what you mean about David -- he’s like the male Snow White 🙂
Okay, I’ve got my next set of nominations.
For Best Live Performance – Heart Connection:
David Archuleta -- Angels From The Realms Of Glory
David Archuleta performs on the 2010 Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon

OFF SUBJECT: Does anyone know how to report a site that is offering free downloads of David’s Elevator and I suspect it is not authorized? I found it through Google Alerts of all things. Really irks me!
UPDATE: See the link on our right sidebar if you ever want to report a site that host illegal downloads. —>
Silent Night- MOTAB- my nomination for best live performance heart connection…others will take some thought.

Marlie- It’s a good thing you were able to find out how to report illegal downloading. It’s too bad this sort of stuff happens.
Song of the year I think should be “Who I Am”. I just really feel David in that song. 🙂
And “Something ‘Bout Love”
My nominations for Top David Moment of the year:
Releasing his 3rd album: “The Other Side Of Down”
Becoming a “Best Selling Author with “Chords of Strength”

Best Piece of Archuwisdom:
Even though you can have self-doubts and you may not think the best or most highly of yourself, if you are willing to work hard and really push and just take a chance, take a risk and trust God, He will take you where you need to go.
David Archuleta, June 2010
There is no love without sacrifice.

Most Impressive Comment by a Non-Archie:
Made by someone who attended David’s concert with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir:
So David Archuleta. I won’t lie, I was extremely skeptical. Cute kid and all, but I’d be fibbing if I said I wasn’t turned off by all the teeny-bopper, American Idol hype.
But about three seconds after he began to sing, I was a convert.
It’s an understatement to say the boy’s got pipes.
Seriously, we’re talking Josh Groban-level talent here.

Most Impressive Comment from a Non-Archie:
At first I was watching this special to support Orla and Meav but as I looked at some of David’s other perfomances including this one, he really grew on me. I really like David’s Performance. I am now officially a new fan of David Archuleta.

(About writing “Chords of Strength”)
It was about explaining to people what I hope the future would be like and what I’m trying to accomplish. Hopefully people will get something out of it when they read it, especially kids my age because the teenagers are having a tough time trying to figure out there’s so many ways you can go and take the rest of your life. It’s about motivating people to take chances and go for things and to not let that voice inside of you say you can’t do this. Because I feel a lot of kids miss opportunities because they believe that and it’s like man, if I were to believe that voice and listen to it, I wouldn’t be here. I wouldn’t be where I am right now.

What a talent! And I hope that sense of ease that he has stays with him through his entire career

What’s the lesson learned here? I guess it’s that hordes of young ladies and women falling over the pop icon with dreamy eyes and a magical voice can’t always be counted on to be irrational and lacking in real musical inclinations. It turns out, every once in a while, the hype is dead on.

Most Fanatical/Endearing Comment from an Archie:

“Oh give me a home where the potatoes roam, and the moose and the moose-calves all play… Where David can sing, and the fangirls can scream, “YES! The Idaho concert’s todayyyy!”

Chords of Strength:
“Sometimes it takes a miracle to reignite a person’s passion. Sometimes when you least expect it, the tables turn and that scary feeling that has taken a hold of you for so long somehow turns into hope. Call it luck, call it help from above, call it whatever you will…I definitely believe some kind of miracle was at play when my voice, for no understandable or explainable reason, started to feel better again.”

I love this -- it’s like the year in review.
But I know we are missing some key events. Gotta go scour the web and youtube.
UPDATE: No I don’t -- I just need to go backward through the pages here. 🙂
David singing “Angels” at RSO Charity Event in Chennai, thanks to aura3000:
CRUSH from India, also from aura3000
PARTIAL SOT, also from aura3000
DAVID BEING ADORABLE, also from aura3000
Somebody tweeted --
“There are a LOT of @DavidArchie fans here.. Im shocked!”
Like, DUH!
BUZZ about DA’s trip to Inida
This one from INDIA EXPRESS BUZZ
He shot to fame as the cherubic, unassuming 17-year-old with a stunning voice on reality juggernaut, American Idol (season 7). David ‘Archie’ Archuleta has not changed much since, even after the hit single, ‘Crush’, and three albums.
In the city to celebrate the fifth anniversary of Courtyard by Marriott in Chennai, the 20-year-old gets talking about American Idol’s makeover and what he plans to do in India.
From dentist to Chennai: At an appointment with my dentist, he showed me the pamphlets of Rising Star Outreach in Kancheepuram and I was shocked to learn that leprosy still exists. And these people are cast out of society, so I decided to get involved.
American Idol, minus Simon Cowell: I don’t think Simon’s absence will affect the show too much as I think the show needed a fresh new start. As for the new judges, Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez, Tyler is so funny and seeing someone like Lopez is just amazing. The age bar has been lowered (contestants who are 15 can now audition). I saw a lot of young people who were dedicated and that’s what matters at the end of the day. Whoever has the heart will have no problem in the process.
Surprise show, fan clubs: I would love to (perform) this season but the producers do not give too much notice, so I don’t know for sure. Talking about fans, I was once walking down the street when this girl saw me and suddenly let out a scream. The only problem was she would not let go of my hand and I tried really hard to get away (laughs).
Inspiration: Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder and Kelly Clarkson.
No plans for Hollywood: My family keeps me in check as they have taught me to treasure the simpler things in life.
Two birthday wishes videos that I thought they did a good job.

Best Acapella Performance:
God Bless The Broken Road-Rascal Flatts-Salt Lake City
Went looking for David singing Baby, I’m amazed for Best acapella performance and ran across this wonderful video.
So one more for fan video. 🙂
Vulnerable Man
strangerphilosophy
So thrilled to see this post. NIce to catch up with the best and to see some old faces from the past.
Best live Performance-Rocking the house- I am going to say two… Elevator on NYE and TOSOD on New Years Eve…. He rocked both!
Best TV appearance- It is probably there but I will go with the Orla Christmas Special.
Best Christmas song is my favorite Pat a Pan on the Orla special.
Call me crazy but for me an archudorable moment was in Pat a Pan on Orla’s Christmas when David put his hand out and hit an imaginary drum. For some reason, one of the most endearing qualities about David to me is how visual his hands are when he talks and sings. Love all his little hand gestures.
Best tweet- ( paraphrasing here)
You look like Steven Huh? Has anyone ever told you you look like Steven Arculeta? Uh no, lol
Not sure what category this would go under- but a pretty funny moment was the Tosh comedy spoof where David appeared in the box
Hi rena -- good to see your “face”, too! 🙂
Don’t forget to post any of your nominations:
I am going to leave the nominations open while we assemble all of this material- cutter12, JR and myself. We will keep adding any of your nominations until we post the voting on Friday, Feb 4th.
Oh, last ones- but two another archudorable moments were when he was interviewed by Bryan Star and he described that lady who grabbed & tried to kiss him, and also that little grey haired grandma who came up and poked him in the arm
David sure makes for good entertainment just by being himself All that and great music too!
Hello TDC!…longtime no post, but was SO happy to see the 3rd annual Archie Awards~ TDC staple by now…deserves its own award.
Not sure if noms are actually closing midnight 2nite or not,(Marlie’s last post about leaving them open?) but jik, will have to cram for this exam…even if it’s to second lots of already posted. Just going random, quick as I can..
LIVE ROCKIN’ THE HOUSE--TOSOD NY Eve…loved David ringing us into this year…and it seemed like “prelude to 2011 tour”, to me. His stylist deserved honorable mention that night too… a Hawt Outfit category??!
2)Elevator NY Eve--love that he sang out the credits that night.
ARCHUDORABLE~David and The Squirrel (How’d I miss that one?!!) Too funny/cute, and “talking about his A.D.D.” …enter the “distraction” LOL ps…David, NO ONE’s ever “been that close to a squirrel before!”,without it either running away or attacking! Animals “know” good peeps.
2)David/Jonas hunkerdown
T.V. PERFORMANCE (or Rockin’ House)A Capitol 4th..I loved the performance and the honor it was to do it ..doesn’t matter what category to me, just wanted to put it somewhere!
2) T.V. performance--Orla Fallon’s Celtic Christmas-Silent Night (or Christmas song/performance)
CHRISTMAS SONG/PERFORMANCE…MoTab-Silent Night
2)MoTab- Los Pastores a Belen ..esp. that last note!
BONUS TRACK--The Day After Tomorrow…love the energy, driving melody, the way his Voice sounds, raspy, direct, expresses the sentiment of anticipation in the lyrics…ha. ok, u get it. ..but…I won’t be “mad” if NEBTD wins.
VLOG--OmgOmgOmg “Finishing Up the Album!!” 4:45-end is some of my favorite Archurandomness ever! yeayeayeayeayeayeaYeaaaaaa…complete with headboppin’! Classic.
Honorable mention…carving pumpkins with sis..where he “scolds’ her not to be violent with it, then lets her show the pumpkin..”So yea..well alright!”..like “there ya have it.”
HAWT PIC: No time to think off top of my head, BUT..I second Pabuckie’s: http://twitpic.com/35pm58
(think it’s significant I had to go eat a piece of chocolate after that one?) …the first one is beautiful too.
SONG OF YEAR--
*SBL for “hit” material (even if didn’t get enough radio play to actually be one..arrrgh)…awesomely singable, danceable, feel-good, catchy song.
2) Who I Am…”just David.” ..and great melody, hook, chorus.
3) Good Place…”you find it, you hold it, you feel it’s grace.” pretttty song, also “David”….and I swear I hear him smile on “but it’s a GP” after the bridge. 🙂
TOP MOMENTS (in chronological order, they’re all #1 to me): Release of TOSOD…critics and PTB be danged…kid set out to do the cd HE wanted to do..and took us on a perfect, personal and complete musical journey…beginning to end.
Release of Chords of Strenth…had he been 40 his words would be wiser than most. I read it twice..will read again. Inspiring, insightful…like all things David..straight up and from the heart.
MOTAB!! This could be #UNO were it not for above two…this was BIG, and I guess classifies as “momentous” since it’s more “a moment” in time than the other two…but above two were BIG 2010 accomplishments.
ok so my post is long (sorry I’d BOLD the bottomlines for you if I knew how!) it’s almost midnight…and I’d love to go find my favorite quotes from COS…if I make it in time.
..if u leave comments open and I find them I’ll post anyway jik they make it through.
Tks in advance for all the work on this TDC~~
Oops forgot ACAPELLA~had not seen it ’til 2nite but Palrice8’s
“Angels” above…still and always one of my favorites…a David standard, by now..awesome acapella.
COS-- PG. 198 (under one of the cutest pics in the book, j’s sayin’..)
any or all of:
“I could feel the melody soothe so many of this poor woman’s pains, and I could see the lyrics fill her heart with peace. Here was that gift again, this time coming from me to her--and in that moment I realized that performing for me would be much more than just being a good singer, and everything to do with being a good person. The bottom line is that while you’re performing it’s hard to hide who you really are. It’s all about the interpretation of the song, not just the song itself.”
***
no wonder…I feel like I do when u sing, David.
COS--PG 193 & 194
“So many things confuse me. But ‘feeling’ is a language I can understand. That’s why I connect with music so much.”
“Music can be so much more than entertainment. It can be an act of communion, a dialogue in sound, sacred, or soulful, happy or sad, intense or soothing; it can cover the entire spectrum of human emotions. With music we can all speak the same language and we can relate to one another’s joys and pains.”
sorry don’t mean to spam or break any rules..but forgot Tweet:
So I guess I look enough like me today but not enough to actually be me. People think I kind of look like David Archuleta lol. 2:27 PM Jul 10th, 2010
AMB4DJA -- thank you for posting that COS excerpt. I LOVE that segment in the book.
How could anyone not love this guy! Major chills.
amb4dja: These are great! No rules broken -- we don’t consider it SPAM unless you are trying to sell us farmland in russia 🙂
To clarify: We are beginning to put together the voting pages, but they will not go up until Friday, Feb 4th -- so we will leave the nominations open till the last minute -- so you have until, oh, sometime Friday afternoon to add nominations. then I’ll close the comments here and cutter, JR and I will finish up the voting which we’ll post on Friday night…sometime.
We are a little lax here about “rules” LOL
I will put out a last tweet/call for noms then 🙂
Okay, this is my nomination for the Best Bonus Track (or is this not a bonus track?)
Okay, this is cool -- so I post that song, then I see a Fan Tribute video -- which I am going to nominate for Fan Tribute Video! Pabuckie….take note 🙂
Just checking out vids, and I stumbled across this again….you know, the photographer is really good, but he has the cutest subject. David just is so easy on the eyes 😉
The way I was seeing the Best Bonus Track category was for David songs that aren’t on albums or not available to everyone. So I feel “senseless” does qualify. 🙂
OK, here are my nominations
BEST LIVE PERFORMANCE, I have 6 noms
(1) NY Z100 Elevator performance

I think it’s a bit self rightous to suggest that there’s something wrong with women over their 20’s that dare think that David’s hot. So what if he is? God made him hot, deal with it.
(4) @jambajim @DavidArchie Awesome job last nite! I have no idea how you sounded that great and looked so comfy in the cold. Bravo!

David is pretty amazing. Such insight for someone so young.
Does anyone know what happened to Snarky Archies? Their site is not just down, but gone!
Tweeted by ChartRigger
The absense of @davidarchie “Crush” + the many other things wrong with the upcoming @AmericanIdol greatest hits album http://bit.ly/h1KYsp
Here is the article
Where The Hell Is David Archuleta’s “Crush” On The Upcoming ‘American Idol’ Greatest Hits LP?
Today the official American Idol site announced that the series would be issuing its first greatest hits album, American Idol 10th Anniversary -- The Hits. But the dubious tracklisting seems a bit lackluster, despite the announcement touting the “mega-hit singles” included.
The one good thing the powers that be seem to have done is slap Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone” on there first. (Clearly they took a quick glance at Chart Rigger’s Top 40 Singles Of The ’00s list and saw that it placed at #1).
But, really—where the hell is AI Season 7 runner-up David Archuleta’s “Crush,” a multi-platinum #2 hit on Billboard’s Hot 100 and one of the best songs to ever come out of this televised dog-and-pony act? Or Season 5 runner-up Katharine McPhee’s “Over It,” a Top 40 single with ten times more merit than Taylor Hicks’ dire “Takin’ It To The Streets”?
And while Jordin Sparks’ “No Air” was indeed a smash, her duet partner Chris Brown was not an American Idol contestant. Wouldn’t it have made more technical sense to include one of her other Top 10 singles, like “Tattoo” or “Battlefield”? Christ, just put on two Jordin Sparks songs and cut Lee DeWyze!
Oh, well. Below is the tracklist for American Idol 10th Anniversary -- The Hits along with the Hot 100 chart positions of the singles included. Personally I’m just gonna hold out for Kelly Clarkson’s greatest hits.
1. Kelly Clarkson -- “Since U Been Gone” (#2)
2. Ruben Studdard -- “Superstar” (B-side, #2)
3. Clay Aiken -- “Invisible” (#37)
4. Fantasia – “When I See U” (#32)
5. Carrie Underwood – “Before He Cheats” (#8)
6. Taylor Hicks – “Takin’ It To The Streets” (#69)
7. Daughtry – “Home” (#5)
8. Jordin Sparks (duet with Chris Brown) – “No Air” (#3)
9. David Cook – “Light On” (#17)
10. Kris Allen – “Live Like We’re Dying” (#18)
11. Adam Lambert – “Whataya Want From Me” (#10)
12. Lee DeWyze – “Sweet Serendipity” (failed to chart on Hot 100)
Just another snub of David by the AI machine. Sometimes it is so hard to understand this industry.
Marlie, I just found out Snarkies is no more. Sad. :(( I don’t know why though. A new site will go up in a few days per Janey.
I am so bad about not contributing to this annual Archie Awards, the 3rd!! I just enjoy going down the memory lane with the nominations. I am amazed it’s been three solid years already!
JR, thanks for the article above. I was feeling sad, angry, disgusted, insulted on David’s behalf, all that, last night, but in the end, who knows, maybe not being associated with AI is a very good thing. I am going with that! Ha!
I’ve always have checked out the videos on American Idol, after the show has aired, but when I saw David was not on their top lists hits, I couldn’t bring myself to watch them. That @#$%& show let me down again.
I’m sad to hear Snarkys is gone. 🙁
I only have one word for TPTB in AI re that Greatest Hits album — STUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPID!
Esp given these stats:
It is interesting that out of the Top Ten in sales six out of the ten were winners.
1. Carrie Underwood 12,186,000 Season 4 winner
2. Kelly Clarkson 10,628,000 Season 1 winner
3. Chris Daughtry 6,021,000 Season 5, 4th place
4. Clay Aiken 4,953,000 Season 2, 2nd place
5. Fantasia Barrino 2,718,000 Season 3 winner
6. Ruben Studdard 2,562,000 Season 2 winner
7. David Cook 1,345,000 Season 7 winner
8. Kellie Pickler 1,294,000 Season 5, 6th place
9. Jordan Sparks 1,216,000 Season 6 winner
10. David Archuleta 1,073,000 Season 7, 2nd place
11. Jennifer Hudson 825,000 Season 3, 7th place
12. Adam Lambert 788,458 Season 8 winner

Interview with Johnny Wright from WEG:
excerpt:
Q: Along with On the Spot, I don’t know how you manage at all, but you also have made an incredibly impressive … of artists under Wright Entertainment Group. I already have my Janet Jackson tickets for her upcoming tour. I can’t wait for that. I love Danity Kane, so I’m excited for Aubrey’s solo stuff, which I think is coming out this year. What can you tell us about the projects and the artists that you’re currently working with?
JW: As you know Aubrey has a solo project coming out, she has a TV show that starts March 14th on the Oxygen channel and it will go through the process of that. Justin’s making movies right now but I’m sure he will be in the studio in the not too distant future. Janet is going out on tour. The Jonas Brother, like I say, they are all doing individual projects right now with Joe in the studio right now working on his individual music. David Archuleta is also somebody that I have that we’re going back into the studio to make a record.
I’m blessed to be able to have all of these talented people but I also have a talented team that know what they’re doing, have great relationships with my artists and have been able to give me the time to float through different things and do different things. It just somehow all works and I’m just very happy and blessed for the team that I have and artists that I have.

For anyone who is interested, here’s a tweet explaining the closing of SA I saw today: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/8jsdtm
Notice: The voting date is changing to begin Sunday. I had unexpected company this week and need some time to lay out the voting page. Cutter12 and Jr did an awesome job of capturing the nominations, so I’m the laggard 🙂
Hey, all you Archie aficionados -- As you read this, Marlie is diligently preparing all the nominations and hopefully will be ready to post them later tonight or tomorrow. 😀
There were so many wonderful David moments to go through and soon there will be your opportunity to vote for your favorites!
