David’s week began with Twittering, included sightseeing, Twittering, concerts, and ended with more Twittering!
David performed three back-to-back concerts in target=”_blank”>Ipswich, target=”_blank”>Croydon, and target=”_blank”>Oxford, this week after slaying the crowds in London and Southend last weekend. It is evident that David continues to expand his performance skills and loosen up, and as he noted in this week’s blog,
I always wonder what people must be thinking watching me move lol, but I think the less you’re concerned about how strange people must think you look up on stage, the more you can just let go and get into the song. I’m trying to let myself get into that mind set more, and it’s been working :).
Back home in the states, David’s appearance on Hannah Montana and their target=”_blank”>’duet’ aired on Sunday night to great ratings. Although the song premiered on Disney Radio to fans who were disappointed that David’s solo parts were removed, David helped Hannah Montana beat the Jonas Brother’s debut that same night, forcing many to admit, David Archuleta is greater than all boy bands.
David continued his Twitter obsession and there were a few tweets that almost caused the late night TDC’ers to crash their computers, but we probably should let you look those up yourselves. He also shared some cute moments with his pal Jordin Sparks as they both Twittered about a ‘conference call’ with Newsweek that included past idol winners and other idol notables. Archie´s tweet, “It was good to hear your cheerful voice! Hope to see your face sometime soon though lol.”
It seems that everyone is Twittering and David seems to be the subject of a diverse group of Twitterers. After David was surprised to attend a The Fray concert, they tweet:
“Just played the first of two highs in London town. David Archuleta stopped by after playing a show here earlier this evening. Nice guy.“
Nice guy? Ya think?
From Tom’s (McFly) Twitter:
“In the toilet at Croydon listening to David Archuleta sing Angels…it’s a magical moment.”
And just to continue the David lovefest from those who haven’t been following him since Waiting on the World to Change, here are some comments taken from the McFly boards:
he was really good last night!
I only knew three of his songs, but enjoyed his whole set
he was really cute, and pitch perfect, great voice
loved everyone singing along to angels
On Wednesday night’s American Idol they featured past idol Homecoming shows. Featured was the now infamous target=”_blank”>”where did they all park’ video from May 9th, 2008, David Archuleta Day in Murray, Utah.
On a sad note, David Cook’s brother Adam lost his valiant fight against brain cancer. David sent his friend kind words of condolence. Cook ever the trouper, kept his commitment and ran the target=”_blank”>Race of Hope that same morning.
Let’s end the week with a little recommendation from David.
Absolute, The Fray.
Great weekly recap! Thanks brooklyndawn! I have to say that I am loving all the new pictures of David that surfaced this week, 3 of which are used in Rascal’s collage. Grainy videos are one thing, but professional photos -- ahhh… sweet!
And are tweets going to take over our lives haha!
I loved the McFly tweet from the toilet….a magical moment. 🙂
magical indeed!
Great recap, BD! I love the McFly tweet too! 🙂
To all the TDC columnist, I really enjoy the fact that often more than one post is running at a time. It gives us even more David news to read.
Nice review brooklyndawn! I’n finally taking the time to listen to The Fray.
HIIIIIIIIIIIII EVERYONE!!!!
Just arrived from back-to-back meetings. A business meeting in the morning. For the rest of the day, met with the Pinoy Archies — my 1st to spend time with them! Had soooo much fun while planning for next week!
So much to do, so little time left but am so stoked!
Was able to get through the mad and almost impenetrable wall that seems to surround this production. GAH!
1. Got David’s itinerary
2. Secured some seats for a couple of programs where David will guest -- thanks to the kindness of a much-surprising contact which I was able to reach only 2 days ago! This is the closest and as things are shaping up, may be the ONLY chance we have for a pseudo-M&G.
Have shared the break-through with the members of Archuleta Phils. That is what am so happy about. Now at least some hard working fans here, a number of which won’t b able to attend the concert, will be able to still see him up close in a studio setting.
Hope we can give David a memorable welcome -- something that he deserves. We have
shirts! (http://s417.photobucket.com/albums/pp251/archuletaphilippines/AP%20shirts/?action=view¤t=jin_shirt2.png, http://s417.photobucket.com/albums/pp251/archuletaphilippines/AP%20shirts/?action=view¤t=back3.jpg),
pins! (http://s417.photobucket.com/albums/pp251/archuletaphilippines/AP%20Logos/?action=view¤t=DSC00714.jpg) and
plastic fans! same design as the pins.
Still wading through some obstacles & if things don’t work out, we may not be able to give our presents to David (in person) or present the outcome of the AP Outreach Program in honor of David 🙁 Too bad, no?
But we should count our blessings. At least we now have access 🙂

Brooklyndawn,
Great job in your recap of a week in the life of David Archuleta. The collage (by Rasca?) is brilliant – David, by day, the normal wide-eyed 18-year-old, flanked by David, by night, the Performer Extraordinaire. What an amazing and full life this young man is leading and the collage says it all.
YJfod -- yes, Rascal does the collage every week for Archuworld. He is the photo master haha!
Jackryan -- so glad that things are improving for your special time with David.
BROOKLYNDAWN, what a David week! And you captured it quite well 🙂 Thanks for the recap. The McFly tweet from the toilet is priceless! LOL
RASCAL -- as usual, great eye for David’s imagery 🙂
LIZ -- did you get my 2nd email?
Brooklyndawn, thanks for this week’s wrap-up, it’s such a great way to see if I’ve missed anything in David’s world.
I said before that David transforms from that unassuming looking kid that is standing in front of Big Ben and on the balcony into a different person, that man, on the stage. Like Bruce Banner turning into the Incredible Hulk. Don’t believe me, just look at that center photo, see that arm muscle bulging there?
