IMPORTANT:TEEN CHOICE AWARDS!!!

David is nominated for THREE categories : Breakout Artist; Love Song; Tour!!

REMINDER:VOTE VOTE VOTE!

A note from Kitty (DASG):

Got this in the mail from a US Archie today. If we work really hard, I am sure David will own those surf boards. All of us were sort of complacent in Mr Twitter USA and Best Mala Solo Artist. It would be great if you could share this with the awesome fans over there, so that together, we can get David on that stage and make him the proud owner of 3 new fabulous surfboards!

Hello from a huge David Archuleta fan in the U.S. Yesterday we received a bit of disturbing news about the Teen Choice Awards from a website called Snarky Archies:

“Yo, PEEPS. You had best be voting. Nicola just informed TwitterWorld that the JoBros just had a call out for votes on their MySpace. Oh, those boys. And they are in two of the same categories as David. You know what that means… VOTE!”

I don’t know about Singapore, but here in the U.S. the Jonas Brothers are huge. The fact that they asked their fans to vote means that David is in trouble and will lose unless every single Arch Angel votes with all their might until the deadline.

You can use multiple email addresses (I have over 100!). They do not have to be real addresses. The votes count as long as the website doesn’t kick them out when you register.

We also need people to keep requesting for David to perform. If enough people show interest, it could still happen. Please spread the word to all Angels to vote, vote, vote! And keep requesting for him to perform. Those surfboards belong to David! Thank you.

Female Mag – July Issue

Thanks Felicia Ong for the picture!

If its too small to see, i’ve typed it out:

Winning second place in last year’s American Idolcompetition hasn’t changed David Archuleta one bit. His self-titled debut album has won the hearts of young girls,teenagers and the more mature working women. Here’s what the young heart-throb has to say about life after Idol:

What has changed since American Idol?

“Nothing much really; I’ve been coping well with my new life because I think I’m still the same David Archuleta before I entered American Idol. My family values and how I grew up play a part in keeping me balanced.”

Broken any hearts lately?

“I’m still single and waiting for the right girl to come along and of course, the right time to start a relationship. I’m still too young to start anything serious.”

What is the secret of your current success?

“I followed my dreams and kept my passion alive. It’s a lot of hard work so I guess you have to be addicted to your work.”

URTV!

English translation (forgive me if I translated anythg wronly..its been a while since i studied Bahasa LOL)

The teen singer whose talent was discovered through the reality show, American Idol came down to Kuala Lumpur last April 11th to promote his self-titled debut album entitled David  Archuleta.
This singer from Utah, United States whose showcase saw thousands of loyal fans of various races and age fill the concert venue at Sunway Resort. Eventhough he was busy with his tight promotional schedule during the few days in Kuala Lumpur, Archuleta still took time to meet his number fan, new singer, Iqwal.
In a simple meet and greet at the hotel where he stayed in Sunway Resort, David Archuleta managed to give some advice to Iqwal on how to succeed as a singer, that is to always be himself. David Archuleta was also impressed with the beauty of Kuala Lumpur and the friendliness of the local folks. In fact, he himself managed to spend some time to do some sightseeing at KLCC and tried some “asam pedas” dishes at  a popular local restaurant in KL. He admitted he will miss Malaysia’s’ spicy foods when he returns to America.

I won’t refuse to participate ever.

Whatever he does .. I’m there.

If he’s going to give 100% .. so am I.

I can’t speak for fan sites .. but I can speak for myself.

I won’t forsake ANYTHING he does .. because no matter what .. I will support him.. no matter WHAT.

I for one .. think the Apologize at DelMar .. was telling of what he’d just been through.

I think he’s ONE class act .. being out there .. doing what he does .. loving what he does .. with all the crap going on in his life.. at the worst TIME in his life.

And because I’m not over the moon about the Demi pairing .. I should turn my back on him?

Never.. I’ll walk through fire if I had to .. bare foot across glass…

because I BELIEVE IN HIM..and my faith in him does not come with conditions.

The above is a comment posted by a fan during a lively debate on the pros and cons of the Demi – David pairing on their on going summer tour (what else is new in Archieland). Some say that David should have taken a breather and concentrate on his writing and preparations for his next pop album. Their opinion is that David has been run ragged lately and the schedule is too punishing. Moreover Demi fans – being of the Disney persuasion – are hardly the demographics that David should be pursuing. The whole tour doesn’t achieve anything positive for David but serves only to demean him  by billing him as the ‘opening’ for a second tier Disney ’star’. This reminds me of the earthquake that happened when it was announced that David was to collaborate with Miley Cyrus! David is too good for the Disney tweens and kiddies for heavens sake! – went the chorus.

Other fans say that, yes although they too don’t think this is an ideal pairing, but at least David and his music are out there for the public’s consumption during  the peak concert season in the US. This period is when fans traditionally go out in droves to see their favourite artists and it’s good that David is touring and therefore gaining new fans. Based on reactions from Demi fans who may never have heard of David until now, this seems to be the case. By going on tour he’s also honing his performing skills and not to forget since Disney is footing a large part of the bill this means David is making more money. With no new single released by Jive  and not much David music on the airwaves how else is David going to promote his music? And the debate continues…..

I may not have much experience being a fan of any artiste until now but it’s really an eye opener for me the way David’s fan base agonize, dissect and debate over every career decision that he and his team makes. Many of us presume to be the authority over what’s good or bad for David. To me that smacks of arrogance and conceit, no matter what educational or professional qualifications we may have gained. The definition of success is very personal. Each and every one of us has or ought to have a clear picture of what success means to us. One’s man meat is after all another’s poison. David’s idea of success is , I suspect, totally out of joint with what we, his fan base, wants for him. I can see that he’s happiest when he’s on the stage singing his heart out, whether it’s for an audience of a  100 or 10,000. I don’t think he’s all that concerned with platinum records, number one singles, grammies or other industry awards even though these go a long way towards adding that credibility shine to this career.

In the final analysis David will sing for what ever rewards or recognition he feels is necessary and fulfilling to him, not what we think or insist he should be aiming for. For all we know he may decide to hang up his mic, so to speak, and just go back to school and get that ENT degree he talked about in the past. If that happens then what? Are we all going to convulse in agony over lost opportunities and what could be a glittering career? Are we acting too much like parents who cry over the career decisions of their children and how far they want to take it? Are we imposing standards and expectations on David the way we tend to do with our kids? Presuming that he doesn’t necessarily know what’s good for him and that he’s just a child?

To me it’s all pointless pontification on our part when we insist on voicing our ‘opinions’ as to how David should conduct his career. It’s tiresome and frankly doesn’t serve any purpose for we just don’t know what desires and motivations really drives David. We pretend that we do but we don’t. I’ve always said that we’re on a journey and that David is the engine. He’ll take us as far as HE wants to; no more no less. And if any of us are not happy with that then maybe they should get off now lest they be sorely disappointed with David’s final AND personal destination.

You say that I don’t know what I want
But it worked out just fine
You said it never could be done
But it worked out just fine, oh
You can say anything you want
But it worked out just fine

If it works for me
Than it works for me
If it works for me
Than it works for me

What works for him is what works for him. Nobody else.

- John

Eunice’s Dallas Recap!

Eunice went to the Dallas show and shared her recap with us!woot thanks Eunice glad u had a great time!

I had been planning to meet David again in Dallas, but as usual I waited for too long, and all the VIP ticketss were sold out. I thought I wouldn’t go this time.

Last Thursday,  I decided to call the  ticket Master, thought I  just tried to find out if there were any tickets left for David’s concert.  To my surprise, there were. The guy told me there was a great seat for a great deal, it was like 8 rows from the stage. I bought it right away.

I was really concerned about the hot weather. To my surprised the weather was cool and beautiful on sunday morning, and that gave me more reasons to attend the concert. Since Nokia theatre is just over 12 minutes from my house, I took my sweet time, got the envelope ready to hand over to Ray or David.

I went to the will call center and got my ticket. There I saw  Linha, May, Serena from FOD, Princess, then 2 more ladies. Sorry I forgot their names.

I checked in alone and the ushers led me to the front left, there weren’t many people around. People started coming in and I was relieved, when I discovered I was sitting with a bunch of middle aged parents, seniors with some grandkids.I knew I was with the right group.  I chatted with a couple of parents, one of the dads said, “not sure what I am coming for..” the other dad added,” I brought my earplugs along this time. The last time I attended  one, my ears bled after the concert.” I chuckled and told them I had my earplugs on too.

There were so many preteens and teenagers. Many of them were Demi’s fans. I didn’t know she is a Texan, until David mentioned it.

Well, the girl band KSY, opened for David. The teenagers surrounded the stage. 30 minutes later, the lights were dimmed, people moved some props around, they had the curtain down, the lights off, and cheering and screaming, “David, David….” Then a shadow appeared behind the curtain!  Yes, Was David!!!! He started with TMH, That face lit up the whole stage!!!!I tried to take picutres but the lights shone at my direction, I just couldn’t get hold of David, he was all over the stage. And I was so embarrassed to stand up when I had a group  of grandparents sitting behind and besides me. I was reallly conscious and be considerate. He sang the second song Waiting for yesterday, My hands, you can, works for me, Altnoy, Don’t let go, but when he sang Barriers, it was so so good, at that point I stopped taking pictures, I was tired of battling with the lights and those teenagers who were blocking my view. Then he sat at the keyboard and sang Apologize.It was breathtaking and haunting.I really felt David’s voice piercing to the heart. Then he switched gear and sang Zero Gravity, he was energetic. He sang Como f…accapella, and closed with his signature song Crush.

It was so fast. I came out and met with the FOD bunch.We chatted a bit and then I handed the envelope to Linha and asked her to hand it over to Ray, David or Mike Compass.  I didn’t stay for Demi’s session and I left.

I sensed something different about David this time, not sure what was that, but he wasn’t that usual. gigly, bubbly.Like he just did a routine except for the two songs barriers and Apologize. Hmmmm! maybe, I expect too much from him since he is not the Star of this concert. Demi is. I saw that they are promoting and selling many Demi’s stuff at the store. But only a couple for David! Hope you know what I mean.  Well, as compare with his last solo tour at Utah in March, he was definitely low profile and quieter.But his voice hasn’t regressed a bit, however, his voice is even richer and stronger, plus his stage presentation has improved tremendously.

Afterall, it was a great treat for myself and it was worth it.

Wishing Spongebob happy birthdayyyy!
