David to appear in Hannah Montana

From Orlando sentinel:

David Archuleta turned judge Thursday morning and raved over the American Idol Experience at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

“It’s really cool,” last season’s runner-up told me. “It’s amazing how they replicated the stage. It brings back memories when you’re up there onstage.”

Good memories? “They’re good and some interesting ones like — whoa! — it was just a really overwhelming experience,” Archuleta said.

The American Idol Experience lets park guests audition and perform for a studio audience.

As for the show, Archuleta said the public and the press can put too much emphasis on winning. He placed second last season to victor David Cook.

And, yes, he has met Miley Cyrus. His verdict? “Cool.”


“I wasn’t really upset about it,” Archuleta said of being runner-up. “I think people think that, ‘Oh, because it’s a competition, it’s so important to them to win’ — when it really isn’t. Our goal isn’t to beat the other person and win the competition. We’re just there to do what we love to do.”

The finale, he added, “worked out great the way it did.”

In the days after the results people would if Archuleta wasn’t bummed. He said he’d reply that the outcome was fine.

“Look at all the opportunities that have opened up,” Archuleta said. “We’re all doing our own little projects.”

Of last year’s “Idol” field, he said, “We’re all really happy and excited.”

He said he has been surprised by the success of his record “Crush.” He said he had fun making his acting debut on “iCarly.”

“We’re doing a Hannah Montana next,” Archuleta said. “We’ll be taping it pretty soon.”

  1. Hey Lily!

    You are fast to post this information! I just wrote my comment over at Life mag. contest.

    Yes, he will be in Hannah Montana show. so what do you guys think of that?

  2. What do we guys think of it? Eunice I know what one guy will think of this latest promotion ’strategy’ for David. I don’t know if he has hair but if he did he’ll be tearing them out in clumps right about now at the ‘kiddyfying’ of David and the crass pandering to the *gasp* Disney demographics.

    Doesn’t all of David’s fandom cringe at the thought of connecting David with the likes of Miley? I remember the gasps of horror when this was mentioned as a possibility not quite so long ago. There’s gonna be pandemonium I’m telling ya. Be ready for the drama that’s going to inundate the forums and fansites.

  5. Well apparently David is scheduled to duet with….*drum roll* dare I name the person?

    Yes it’s none other than Miley Cyrus!!!!!

    And over at IDF there’s already 11 plus pages of angsty, hand wringing and horror stricken fans bemoaning this fact. Can you imagine the situation at THAT other fan site?

    BREAKING NEWS! DAVID ARCHULETA WILL BE PERFORMING IN ASIA AND THE UK!
    No more details yet, but David is going overseas on tour!

  7. Hanna Montana….hrrrrmmmmm i think good marketing…doesn’t mean that he wont be heading to the grammy or anything…

  8. Hey eunice…that is my page over at Davids’ official….

  9. John, what shall we do now?????

    Shall we abandon ship? Jump ship? Brace the storm?

    Kylie

  10. Lol I hope that Hannah Montana episode blows the Nielsen TV ratings and shoot off to the next universe and crushed AI8 ratings. That’ll be sweet?

    Kylie

  11. Rusharr, did you stay up to watch the Disney experience? I bet you did. Lol not sure actually. Suddenly there so many posts and comments…

    Kylie

  12. Haha Kylie yah the typhoon of public opinion will be upon us soon :-)

    I’m not bothered about the appearance in HM after all he did do iCarly but I do chafe at the thought of Miley singing with David *eeww* Miley butchers everything she er… sings. So I’m kinda confused as well at this turn of events.

    I hope that David will put his foot down on this duet thing as it really won’t be positive for him and according to IDFers that may be the case as David is apparently mightily opposed to any connections with Disney in a big way.

  13. Yeah Kylie..watched it…sleepy …

    Miley connection….should be intresting….will shoot every rating to the moon…lol!!

  15. It’s a TSUNAMI heading our way, I tell ya!

    Lol John there is no turn of events. They have been scheming (sp?) for David to invade and conquer the worlds of Disney & Nick (Disney was dying to get hold of David). ICarly gig came first to test water and it was absolutely FRUITFUL. So they are going ahead with HM (which is way bigger than iCarly). The next stop is to have David’s own Disney show (even for a few episodes) – “Prom Date?” – Reality show to find a suitable date for David……..

    Hahaha….I talk as if I know. Well….that’s what people do right…pretend to know??

    Kylie

    Edit: Oops, silly me….I forgot to put in one crucial step in the Disney/Nick program…….David Meets JoBros…..possibly a duet in the pipeline.

  16. Kylie, David appeared around 7+ this morning …. interview but the background was noisy his hands as usual flying about and happy ….

  17. Wah Lao…Ai Sim….I’m trying to catch up……….

    Kylie

  18. David video blue carpet..
    p://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqNx7kFYq2Y

  19. Yah ‘pretend’ is the word.

    But I have to admit that I’m getting the jitters imagining David with a Disney show of his own ugh! Somehow I can’t connect the two. One is far above the other. It would be a good move if he sang the theme song to a major Disney movie but a Disney weekly show? I don’t know.

  20. ooops…

  21. HM & MC are magnets. Though MC is getting a bad rap over some pictures again (sigh!). MC is SO big that she was involved in SU2C song, sang at the Grammies, even sang at Idol Gives Back …. and she was only 15 then. Envious success.

    I am probably more realistic than idealistic – as long as David gets out there, get more album sales and do the next album. I just read Amy’s post on the marketing jazz at Snarky. Pretty sobering stuff. Kudos to her.

    Kylie

  22. Lol…….I don’t know whether to laugh with you or shiver with you…at the prospect of his own show. But remotely cool to have you own show….big and successful….own merchandise….everything has a David Archuleta stamp on it….water bottles, pencil box, pencils, …….MONEY!!!

    Kylie

  23. Kylie a lot of people would label your ‘realism’ as selling out haha

    MC has an in your face kind of personality. Very over the top and now with the new pics even she’s trying to get out from under the Disney vanilla fare stigma.

  24. woohoo..so many exciting all David thing….i hope we got time to request…..

  25. Hey! I see you are antsy about the HM thing!

    John, is # 2 at 7.53am comment yours?

    Well, I was so unhappy when I read it. But then as I thought through, hmmm our missy finally has TASTE, she now recognizes that DAVID is the Rising STAR. Why doesn’t she invite Jonas brothers?
    But I cringe at the idea that she has her eyes on our David, as a potential lovebug!!!! Ohhh!

    And don’t know if our friend has any hair, but he may sure lose some peace and be pacing right now. There maybe fiery darts flying all over the site by now. Have you lurked over there yet? I did this afternoon. I am not so interested now, just find that it is too……I don’t want to describe it.

    Yes, there are lots of speculations and anxieties about what will it be like. But I don’t know that they are singing duet. I really hope not. She is too barky to sing. Sorry for my description but it is true. I will just wait and see what happens. Remember, this may benefit DAvid too.

    However, just one note to share, David accepts everyone as friends. He sees the good in each person that is why he gets along with everyone.
    I think he konws his fans’ concern, so let’s trust David here.

  26. Oh my gosh Kylie please don’t tell me you’ve given into the shallow commercial world of merchandising! lol

    David’s face plastered all over lunchboxes, cereal containers, thermos flasks etc? Stuff of nightmares! haha And when those stuff are being sold off at giant discounts? At bazzars, best buys? giveaways? Oh no David! lol

  27. Yes Eunice that’s my comment :-)

    Oops edited the name :-)

  28. Sorry, a mistake, “knows his fans’ concern…..”

  29. Oh, is it confrim that he will tour in Asia?

    Wowow! you guys will have sleepless nights for sure!

  30. Eunice I agree that David accepts everyone at face values but I hope he has a clear enough vision of where he wants his career to go – which I do actually – it’s just that he must exert his will every now and then if he thinks a certain direction is not what he’s about. Afterall his music idols are the likes of John Mayer, Mraz and Barellies.

    In any case I won’t be abandoning ship as Kylie has suggested (jokingly I’m sure hehe). I’m curious as to how the next few months will unfold.

  31. Aiya,ya! he is really planning to record a duet with MC! Ohhhh! how is he going to do that… that voice is like the Chinese saying…pulling a bull up a tree!

    Have you heard of that before?

  32. Oh, I forgot in this case is…..pulling a cow up a tree.

  33. Haha I just read from Snarky on how they described the supposed David/Miley duet – “seriously, though, her voice is deeper than his! did they not hear miley and taylor? on the bright side, though, david would make her sound like darth vader.” lol

    And they have the perfect term for this little earthquake we’re experiencing – Tempest in a Teapot!

  34. Lol – go request ok? No need to get overexcited haha!

    HM wld be great for him – it sorta launched the JBros – do you know how many albums they sold??? I don’t think David will be ridiculed – his amazing voice will pull him thru – only ppl ridiculing him are his own uppity fans haha!

  35. Tempest in a Teapot! Hmmmmm, what a polite term. Well, David is so good at putting lovely spins in all his songs, let’s see what kind of spin he will put in this case.

    I do thnik he knows what he is getting into. But I agree with you, he needs to be willing to set a boundary, otherwise he will be like a floater. That will hurt him in the future.

  36. It’s only a couple of months since he launched his music career. Let him experiment and feel his way – no need to put him in a box so soon! I trust David isn’t just being accommodating by doing HM. If this is 2 yrs down the row, then I wld worry haha!

  37. Lol how can I be selling out when I didnt even say what David should or should not do in my contract as an ArchAngel? :P Hehe, I’m just watching all the drama and pretend to know stuff. Plus oh my gosh, there so many types of ship in Archuland, bless the diversity of his fanbase……hey got an idea…we can jump ship …. just jump to another Archu-ship.

    No not selling out. Personally I think the term selling out should be referred to David himself. Not me as a fan supporting what he is doing.

    And not being privy to David’s Jive Agreement and Azoff Agreement is one of the saddest thing in my Archulife……besides the currently-unfulfilled-but-holding-on-to-tiny-glimmer-of-hope dream of meeting and chatting with David face to face……….

    Kylie

  38. I am shaking off my doubt about the duet. If David is confident enough to do the duet, I will have my thumbs up too! Yes, he is a smart guy!

    And I am sure it will be Blast one!! That will boost his reputation and albums….

    Let’s just trust our David and wait!

  39. Elicia…that’s because we are so invested in David’s career….all the days & nights chasing after updates, buying his orginal album, requesting our hands and phone off, crying, weeping, laughing, hoping……so tiring.

    Kylie

  40. Lol Eunice….so much for “insightful management” eh? We need to storm that Jive/Azoff office and shake their brains off and put on new and improved brains……..too violent. Okay, I just watch.

    Kylie

  41. Kylie,

    I agree with you! We are so so invested in David not only his career but everything about David.
    How can we abandon this ship?

  42. Hey Elicia….i thought you’re not feeling well..

    i like your… “Lol – go request ok?” ha..ha..

  43. Oh Eunice…don’t be surprised that the MC duet is the straw that breaks the camel back for those unsatisfied fans…. David will lose some of these and hopefully gain a titanic shipload of new fans… that’s how it goes, right? Lose some, Win tons.

    Kylie

  44. How many spin already ALTNOY?! guys..

  45. Yes! Hopefully this duet will gain his critics and strengthens his fanbase!

    Yes! it’s time to request again. Have you done it yet!!!

  46. Hey, John, lol never, never underestimate the power of merchandising! My son has so many Ben 10 clothings!!!!! And to see the joy on his face when he sees a new Ben 10 thingey in his possession is….well, okay….a small joy.

    Kylie

  47. Hey guys…let keep this thread lively…

    http://davidarchuletanetwork.ning.com/group/malaysiafansarchangels/forum/topics/altnoy-request-campaign-on-fly

  48. Don’t tell mention Ben 10 anymore. My nephew had one he is crazy over it. Kept beeping the noise and I was so annoyed by it!

    I could get him to do anything when I threatened to take it away from him. Hahaha……..

  49. Yup merchandising sure brings in the moolah! I read somewhere that in the US the teen market for such things is at least US$50 billion!! That’s a whole load of lunchboxes I tell ya lol.

    I think one person who is seriously contemplating jumping ship would be you know who. He’s gonna build his own ark and the faithful will follow hand in hand lol

  50. Heh Rusharr, my flu ain’t going awayayayay! Haha!

    I think fans shld do what they can do – that is request haha! Leave the handwringing to Jive and Azoff lol! I’m not gg to draw conclusions on the whole HM hoopla – I only think it will benefit him in terms of exposure. I think ppl aren’t looking at the big picture, and tend to look at every single thing he does in a micro manner. Note he is also doing a lot of ‘adult’ oriented stuff- tour, probowl etc. Better they want him on HM than nobody wanting him anywhere. When he is a successful multi-charttopping, platinum selling artiste, then he can really pick and choose.

  51. Oh! is he building an ark now? Well, a small one will be enough! I don’t think there are too many around there.

  52. Crush on Hitz!!

  53. I would just say…TRUST THE ARCHULETA….

  54. ooh Eunice are you dissing him? lol

    As expected IDF is in an uproar. The thread about his alleged duet with MC is now at 22 pages!

    And a new thread to discuss the direction of David’s career has sprung up!

    Oh the drama. This is getting deliiiish! lol

  55. Loooooong one coming…..

    From Amy of Snarky

    david is NOT going to appeal to ONE demographic. he is going to appeal to ALL demographics. how is his current marketing strategy NOT appealing him to ALL demographics?

    i hate the j14 covers as much as the next person. when i first saw them in august, i was worried that was the ONLY promo strategy jive or azoff or WHOEVER was going to take. THIS IS NOT THE CASE, THOUGH. DO YOU NOT SEE THE QUIET PROMO ALL AROUND YOU?

    - who is this solo tour, at small, intimate venues, appealing to other than the 18+ set? people with credit cards, who can get on at 10 AM and sell out bars?
    edit: i forgot to add that azoff/jive/whoever is marketing him as a SINGER-SONGWRITER on his tour promo. which is awesome.

    - he’s going on radio shows, PLAYING ACOUSTIC, UNPLUGGED. being an ARTIST, not a puppet. sounding smart and actually knowledgeable about what’s going on in his career. promoting that solo tour. AND HAVING FUN, BEING GOOFY, SINGING RANDOMLY, BEING EVERYTHING WE LOVE HIM FOR. pure, unadulterated david.

    - he’s appealing to teens, tweens, 8-18, by appearing on goofy, but WITTY, teen shows, like hannah montana and icarly. they might be aimed at a younger audience, but you know what? i like them, too. they are FUNNY, witty, CLEVERLY WRITTEN. and by appearing on these shows, david is staying relevant in a pop culture dominated by hannah montana and co. BY BEING HIMSELF.

    - speaking of, POP CULTURE. while he’s doing his raw, davidesque, intimate tour, his name will stay relevant in the gossip blogs that jump-started his career. he is staying RELEVANT, CURRENT, GOOFY, HIMSELF. he is what we NEED in this world — the polar opposite of BALEOUT and DOMESTIC DISTURBIA. pop culture needs him. and he’s staying there.

    edit: thanks, seattle! i was writing so fast i forgot this one: “And Amy, you left out other not-so-quiet promo at the Holiday of Hope, Jingle Balls/Bashes, and talk show interviews. That’s a HUGE cross-section of the general public.” THIS. more! brilliant promo. *bows*

    - while i’m on my edit, PRO-BOWL, too. hello, perfection. do you have any idea how many random men contacted mom to tell her her boi sang the SBB during the pro-bowl SPECTACULARLY?

    so look. he’s not doing one thing. he’s not doing two things. he’s doing the BEST OF BOTH WORLDS, OK, TO BE CORNY. BEST OF ALL WORLDS.

    Kylie

  56. Elicia….lol…so what you are saying is…its too early to jump ship? Okay! Request!!!!!!!!!

    See yall later!

    Kylie

  57. I’m worry about the chart Attack… hope ALTNOY is going up tomorrow

  58. somebody request ALTNOY on Hits…its on air now!!

  59. i’m attacking Hiyz 20 now…

  60. *Hitz*

  61. Hey anyone tuned in to fly?

  62. Ohhh, whatever! Let’s not join the bandwagon!!!!

    Just wait and trust David!!! His dad is with him too.
    We don’t know the details about the duet yet, so let’s be more positive.

  63. yEAH..Lily..no ALTNOY yet….anything..

  64. Ok..look who’s pix.on the bear’s t shirt!!

    http://fansofdavid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/picture-59-300×225.png

  65. Happy Friday ppl, couldnt post earlier coz my brain hurts from all the news.

    IMHO, David would never want to duet with Miley Cyrus, his mgmt was able to convince him that it is beneficial and maybe it will. I remember in one of the radio promo, a dj asked David did he(David) like Miley and David very cleverly paused and said she’s very energetic. Our very diplomatic David meant ’she is not my cup of tea’. Oh gosh, I cant wait for his solo tour to start.

    Loved his interview with Ryan Seacrest, cheered me up.

  66. Haha this is what the great rascal has to say about the latest twist in the saga of David:

    “The argument being advanced for this strategy within the circle of advisers and stakeholders around David is almost certainly based on time. His youth is undoubtedly being cited as the ace in his deck, with an emphasis on the notion that whatever decisions are being made now will be ancient history by the time he may want to cultivate a more unique, mature, or personal presence in the market. Let’s hope. Audiences may be fickle but they have long memories, and today’s unprecedented availability of easy-access media may not help the case for wholesale re-invention.

    As it is, I am content to accept what I consider to be questionable but perhaps practical decisions. Real vision is a rare commodity in any business, and true originality is an enigma; no one knows what to do with it, so “let’s just do what we always do.”

    Seems like he’s gonna reluctantly go with the flow and adopt a wait and see attitude. Good decision! lol

  67. Uh ha! Way to go dear R! That’s the way he’ll make it!

    Thanks John, for posting this piece of cheerful information. What a tone from Rascal. I think if one loves/adores David so much like Rascal, one has to accept whatever decisions David makes.

    Feels like a real valentine atmosphere now!!!!

    Happy valentine to you, John, and to all you faithful ones!

    Good night and have a blessed day with your loved ones tomorrow!!!

  68. Hold on a minute! Why the sudden change of tone and thought? Maybe, he has been informed about his critical comments from other sites?

    Anyway I am so happy for him personally.

  69. Crush was on Fly around 12noon! Don’t neglect archuduties everyone haha!

    Good for Rascal… I think we all need to be a little more patient.

  70. Did you feel guilty? hehe

    Kylie

  71. Yes Ma’am yes, requesting and voting on charts!!!!!!

    Kylie

  72. Kylie and Anne,

    I read your email. I have decided no, don’t do that!

    Have a great valentine with your loved ones!

    Elicia, have you been baking a lot of valentine’s cakes and cookies? I wish I can taste some of them.

  73. Ha..ha..you people amaze me…

  74. Gotcha, Eunice.

    Rusharr……will be very interesting to watch how Jesse’s new song do on LI/SI. With “It’s Over” crushing MWC, the new song should dominate LI/SI plus MWC at the same time?

    Kylie

  75. Eh? How do we amaze you?

    Kylie

  76. Lol Eunice – I only did a bit of valentine cupcakes!

    M gearing up to bake 100 cupcakes or so for a huge cupcake party if David comes here hahaha!

  77. Wow! Elicia, maybe thousands of cupcakes for David. A few hundred for the AAMers alone. So you may need to add more.

    Let me know so I may plan to attend.

  78. We will see..Kylie…i think Fly has been keeping this in their pocket ..just wait the right moment to get it out…

    ..your all obsessive disorder….don’t mention about me laa….

  79. We are all loco ODD. Except for Rusharr. The only sane one left. Who is still right in the mind to stay up to stream David at ungodly hours. Who have all the correct answers to the Loco ODDer Puzzle. :P

    Kylie

  80. ALTNOY on Fly!

    Kylie

  81. Kylie, 1 question, what is loco?

  82. Will Fly pit ‘It’s Over’ against ALTNOY on LI/SI?

    And if so who will the ArchAngels vote for if they are fans of both singers? Hhmm…. decisions.

  83. Haha Dja ‘loco’ means crazy, gila, whacko, bananas etc!!

  84. “I’m goin loco…down to Acapulco” I think that’s how the song goes :-)

  85. Wah! I nearly choked when I saw your question, DJArox and John’s answer.

    Kylie

  86. ALTNOY retired liao on LI/SI. Phew! Otherwise outright war!

    Kylie

  87. OIC, thanks. I’m going loco too.

    Hmm… Jesse or David on LISI, this wll be interesting. Theorectically, if a person is a fan of both Jesse & David, that person might give Jesse a chance since ALTNOY had 51 nights. This is where Archangels must work 10x harder lor!

  88. Guess have to bribe these ArchAngels to vote for David?

    Kylie

  89. Now..they already have ALTNOY in the wall of fame..so they are fishing JM fan for the wall to….try top the record…fly is aiming for rating….hopefully Jm fan concentrate in the LI/SI…will loose a bit on MWC…and ALTNOY will go up!!

    ..ha..ha i’m the loopy one!!!

  90. Kylie, you are not helping here, why would you choke on my question? I think I know, today you found 1 human being that doesnt know what loco mant, right?

  91. David + Miley = nightmare

  92. Not again..Damania….i thought this one dropped already….

  93. Haha Damania it would be a Disney nightmare! Now this would be loco! lol The magic kingdom would not have enough magic to make it work I think hehe

    If Fly proves to be as sneaky as it has been in the past, I wouldn’t be surprised if they reprised ALTNOY and put it against JM on LI/SI. They love fan wars as it means more listeners and more money! The David vs David would’ve taught them something about the fervour of Angels in distress lol.

  94. Kylie, can I bribe you with Secret recipe’s New York cheesecake not to tell the whole world, Omgosh, I just realize you r in the position to delete that post, haha!

    DAMANIA! Hope you had a good lunch.
    LOL at your post! I know dear, but it is not a collaboration, just sing together in her show, I HOPE!

  95. I didnt know wert “loco” means until I met Anne & the gang. So no worries. Just happy that there is someone finding it out later than me.

    Kylie

  96. David + Miley = Disney Lovvveeeee = More fans

    C’mon people, David just sang Lets Talk About Love yesterday.

    John, no jinx-ing!!!

    Kylie

  97. “Anne & the gang” – pray tell who’s included in that gang ;-)

  98. David, David, what do you have in your powers to stir such emotions in archuworld without even knowing it yourself, you must be agent from u above…
    see Rusharr, I’m the one that’s going loopy here :)
    Rusharr, you just gave Fly fm the idea to pitch ALTNOY against It’s Over, I caught Adam a short while ago, reading your post above, hahah!
    I dont care, it if happens, we will need to have a pakatan!!

  99. oops, you must be an agent from up above,

  100. Really DJA…i’m not on Fly now…wow they really eyeing for my post huh?!!

  101. Eassy DJA…if it happen…we vote againts the song that that they throw to It’s Over!!

  102. OK A SHOUT OUT TO ADAM!!!

    WHERE’S THE WALL OF FAME!! DONT SEE IT ON THE WEB!! PUT UP A BEAUTIFUL ONE TOO!!!

  103. Oh, I meant to mention this earlier but forgot, at the interview wth Ryan, it was mentioned that biskut also starting his tour, wow. It made me realize how hard new artists have to work to get stardom. Which reminds me, David will be touring Asia soon.
    Omgosh, did we concur whose home will play host to David? John’s?

  104. Rusharr, you r my hero!

  105. Hey djarox13!!! why did u sponsor for the others instead of me??!! :( </3

  106. Another question, why AAM uniform avi?
    Except for Kylie, who is who?

  107. DJA, no good lunch. David + Miley, I lost my appetite.
    Positive side – David will be touring Asia. Yeahhh!!!

    David wishes all of us happy valentine, he sang you can.

  121. DJA…you caracked me up!! lol! take that John!

  122. *cracked*

  123. Damania, rotfl

  124. Did anyone hear Crush or ALTNOY on Hitz Top 30? Is today’s theme something about Valentine?

    AAM avatar is uniform – allof us will put down our indiv names except for John. He’s lazy. But you can tell from the way he writes mah. Although I think there’s a way to have indiv avatar and screenid under AAM….

    Kylie

  125. Damania, Fusion calling you cute is a compliment. Trust me.

    Kylie

  126. No..Kylie didn’t hear it…..must be coz of the theme??!!

  127. Kylie, thanks, not everytime can tell lah. Only if John writes long long post, then we can know. NVMlah, small matter, I agree, Fusion calling Damania cute is a compliment.

    Sorry, no radio at my office and hp, but off topic, I heard ths morning and yesterday evening, Fly was still annoucing Rihanna’s concert. No sure why?

  128. Fusion or SC in my drea…..nightmares. Don’t know which is worse hehe!

    Not lazy lah, mysterious :-)

    And why is a young man sleeping at 3.30pm in the afternoon?

  129. Crush on Hitz..

  130. A few djs at Fly are in denial about the CB/Rihanna episode that’s why they’re still promoting the concert AND spinning CB’s songs

  131. YAY! At last CRUSH! And i just turned off the radio.

    That young man is still a kid. Growing kid. So needs a nap everyday.

    Fly is still giving out Rihanna tickets today and the concert is supposed to be today. But they say hold on to the tickets for the date to be announced.

    But if you still hardup to attend Rihanna concert tonight, step over to Hitz coz they are conducting a radio Rihanna concert at 9pm. Admission is free. Hitz Fm. Never dissappoints.

    Kylie

  132. Yay, Crush on Hitz. Thats it. This Sunday, I will go buy me-self a radio from pasar malam coz I get jellus whenever Elicia, Kylie or Rusharr goes, Crush on Fly now,
    ALTNOY on Hitz now,

  133. Pls do…DJA…and i’m off to webquest some more…and see you all at night flight….and vote HARD..weekend!!

  134. Wow, Hitz FM damage control plan is superb. No wonder they are #1. Rihanna’s fans would really appreciate that very kind gesture.

    Alrighty, gtg. Pleasant evening everyone. Catch up with you guys later.
    Take care

  135. Lol very true, DJARox, and risk losing some section of listeners who cant listen to Rihanna for a straight up 2 hrs.

    Me too…..see yall later.

    Kylie

  136. altnoy was just on hitz…

  137. altnoy on fly now!

  138. This is what rascal has to say about the pernicious nature of being associated with the Disney brand:

    “If David emerges from a full-blown Disney alliance with his artistic integrity intact and any semblence of his own individuality — and doesn’t have to do something drastically and even offensively “adult” in order to shed the childish image — he will be the first in entertainment history to do so. Not saying it’s not possible, but it has so far never happened. The Disney brand image is one of the most powerful on the planet, and getting out from under it is almost impossible. For Disney’s part, it would be a coup of unprecedented proportions. David would be far and away the most talented young artist they have ever had.”

    On my part I have every faith that David will find his own special brand and place in the pantheon of legendary performers. His artistry is unique and will see the light of day no matter what brand he’s associated with. Cream always rises to the top.

  139. When did David become a Disney artist? LOL! It’s just a guest appearance and a possible duet! Ppl are really overeacting here. Jesse was on Suite Life of Cody and Chris B on Sesame Street – didn’t harm them one bit haha! And aren’t Britney, Christina A and Justin all mouseketeers? It’s wrong for him to say no one has broken out of the Disney hold – I saw a program on the mouseketeers and where they are now – some you wldn’t believe it – you have the famous ones, and then some who went into acting/producing, broadway, indie music what have you. Even Kurt Russell started with Disney for goodness sake!

    I for one wld love for David to have the album sales success of Miley!

    Ur right John, his talent will shine thru. It’s a pity some of his most ardent fans doubt it.

    Maybe Rascal shld suggest David get plastic surgery to that he will look less Disney pinup haha!

  140. let’s talk about how we can be one big familyyyyy !!!
    nice see ain’t it…

  141. *to*

  142. Good evening everyone!!!

    Rusharr, elicia, you guys still around? Tonight, I can join you two here while listening to MWC. hehehehe….

    Oh boy,away for 2 days, and I see THAT many stuff. Just finished reading them.
    * David and Miley??? NOOOOOO!!!
    * David, Asia, tour?? OOOOOOOOH YEEEEEES!

    Off to watch all the videos now. Oh and listen to Let’s Talk About Love.

  143. Ryan Gosling was also a mouseketeer and is now a very talented actor and has even garnered an Oscar nomination.

    Kerri Russell is another actress who has shed her Disney shadow.

    JC Chasez is another talented graduate from the Disney stable who has forged a highly successful career with Nsync.

    None of these people had to do anything even remotely offensive or drastic to chart a credible and successful adult career. Even Britney before her meltdown didn’t resort to scandals to further her career.

    Some fans are too cynical and faithless by far.

  144. LOL. i just read thru all the comments and u guys here crack me up! love you guys! IDF and elsewhere are mostly doom and gloom and it kinda affected me slightly but reading the comments,i couldnt help lol-ing. elicia,thanks for ur posts regarding the HM/David issue. ure right.
    the matter of fact is, right now there is just RP’s statement and nothing more. its just a rumor. so i wont bother getting all worked up abt this.
    i read some comments by fans saying if he/she duno if he/she can support david anymore if he goes on disney just cause that person cant stand miley. i mean…c’mon. David deserves our support, whether he does disney or what not. sigh,some people -.-

    Anne

  145. Oooh..tonigth MWC Valentine’s Edition…

  146. Hey Lynn…..how are ya…..

  147. Helloooooo is any interesting peoples on ?:D

  148. I’m good…. school has been sooooo busy with debate competition coming up.

    For now, ITS ALL DAVID! I’m trying to read ALL the comments since yesterday’s post. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!
    Build-a-bear song…. I really like it!!!

  149. heartbreak kid – depends how u define ‘interesting’ :P

    lynn-hiiiiiiiiiiiii! Its been a while since we saw you! busy with school? ure in a debate team?cool! i tried my hand at debate before….not my thing lol.
    i love that song to. such a lovely cheesetastic song. i cant believe how many times i put it on repeat.

    Anne

  150. What do you mean interesting..kid?!!

    Lynn..yeah…love, hugs, peace…..all cheesy but gooood….

  151. Is ALTNOY fall into the the criteria tonight?…this song u dont want people to dedicate to you ..VDay…

  152. ALTNOY was spinned around 5.30pm. Today’s chart is songs you won’t want to dedicate to loved ones on VD haha! I love that a lot of ignorant ppl are dedicating Thinking of You to their partners hahaha!

    Right on John – Ryan G, Keri and JC!

  153. Hi Anne! Yes, I am in the team, but haiyah, I can’t debate well at all.
    Heartbreak kid, what do you think? ;)
    Rusharr, I was wondering as well. But I don’t think it’d make it, sooooooooo now nothing is playing except the super cheesy song. hehehehe…

  154. Rusharr – it’s another excuse for them to play It’s Over haha! I don’t think ALTNOY is appropriate. Although when they spinned it earlier, they did dedicate it to a caller who was contemplating going out with his ex for VD haha! Really appropriate!

  155. Ya same thot elicia….but then it’s ok i guest ..we are not loosing if ALTNOY not appear..just out of criteria!!

  156. Yeah….ALTNOY is definitely a song that you want to send your love one VDay..ain’t it….

  157. Ha..ha..how true….

  158. YO!!! Flyfm…..you’re so twisted!!!

  159. Ok peeps…..lets rock the request on nightflight….for next week!!!

  160. LOL altnoy is a break up song ? Isn’t it? Shed it as caller ringtone? Means it’s over ? LOL rushar

  161. Though if you peeps don’t feel like requesting ..i understand how you feel….i feel it to….sometimes just better listen to David’s cd or itune download in the computer rather to listen to this radio station…but really thinking of it back…David’s career wise…just have to swallow it…so i’m texting..

  162. You’re smart one aren’t you..fusion…but that song is a regret song..there’s still hope…

  163. Fusion, I’m interested to know whats ur caller ringtone?
    hehehehe

  164. If we want the song to appear next week pls request..the more of you request ..the brighter the chance for MWC next week…

    way to go Justin…request..

  165. altnoy on fly

  166. Very clever request Justin..i might say…kudos!!
    Hey elicia..are you in or not…

  170. The response from one the FODer…regarding HM..
    that is so complete …i think..

    #

    David’s talent is bigger than Idol, bigger than Miley – even bigger than Disney. And it will rise above and be heard – regardless of the people, places and things that will cross his path from time to time in his career. We may not like, or agree with everything that transpires, but the love, admiration and appreciation for David and that golden voice is never in question where I sit…..

    He must do what he has to do, and I will respect him and support him all the more, because change is never easy. Trying to satisfy a large and diverse fanbase is never easy…. Conditions in our economy and in the music industry have changed dramatically from last year to this year, and decisions have to be made at times to accommodate these changing conditions. I have been in the corporate world for a number of years, and to survive, one has to adapt to changing conditions almost daily – what worked, or seemed like the plan yesterday may not be viable today. As long as the core culture of the company and what it stands for is not compromised, the company will weather and can even thrive with those changes.

    David’s career to this point has been a fast paced, fun filled, rollercoaster of ups and downs, highs and lows, but that’s life. This is not a matter of life or death – it’s just part of some of those twists and turns and curveballs that come in life….. it’s how one handles those curve balls that are important. Using a lame baseball analogy, a good batter stands in the box, watching those curveballs come their way… curveballs result in the “brushback” every now and then, but the great batter just squares their shoulders, tightens the grip around the bat, grits their teeth, and gets right back in the batter’s box, eyes and mind fixed on waiting for the next pitch, hoping to catch that sweet spot that will send the next one out of the park. They don’t lament the curveball, or question it’s fairness to be used – it’s a part of the game that one knows will be coming, a part of the game one has to be prepared for, and has to learn to deal with, and overcome, if getting consistent hits and a respectable batting average are to be attained…..

    I believe in David, his talent, and will support him through Miley and the Hannah Montana appearance if this is the step he and his team feel is an avenue that warrants exploring. David is still David, and until he does something that rivals the controversy and firestorm Chris Brown is involved in, or gets caught with drugs or guns or starts kicking puppies or some other seriously boneheaded move, the Miley thing is just another dues paying chapter in this long journey David has embarked upon.”

  171. Here goes my last texting of the night..

  172. Continued from the above post…….

    “I do understand folks thinking David would pair better with the likes of Natasha, or Jordin, or some other singer that meets their preference… my realist side is coming to the fore, so bear with me ….. in the cold hard light of day, the business side, and the decisions made from that side, are never going to be always in sync with our artistic and/or personal preferences for David’s career…. not taking anything away from either of the two ladies, but neither have the drawing power or capacity to generate the type of media attention and exposure Miley does now…. and David, rightly or wrongly, needs exposure to go to that next level – what the right type of exposure is will generate discussion and contemplation like this for a little while, because everyone has their own opinion what they think that should be…
    I am exercising my faith in David to know who he is, who he is not, what he wants, where he wants to be, and the way HE feels is the best way to get there… We can’t have it both ways…. His outward appearance may still be that of a young kid, but legally he is 18 – an adult by law. Capable of making his own decisions about his life, his career…. Maturity and wisdom come with life experience, and he will acquire that – he has guidance, via his Dad, and people from his management team charged w/helping make decisions, but ultimately David is the captain of his own ship….. we may not be in agreement with some decisions he or his team may make, but I respect his right to make them, and applaud his courage in staying true to his vision of himself – whatever that vision may be.
    Love the guy, and his music, and the promise of the greatness to come…. Count me in for the long haul – through heck, high water and Hannah Montana.”

  173. lol Lynn, my caller ringtone is Womanizer

  174. rusharr..thanks for bringing over that post from that FOD-er.so true. every word of it.
    another post i came across that was quoted elsewhere reli reminded me what david’s all about. (LTAL playing at the background…LEts talk about loveeeeeeeeeee~)

    “I have often wondered what is the special attraction that David has with his fans. I thought I understood it. I watched the entire season last year, went to the AI concert at Sunrise, Florida. I have watched all of the videos on YouTube, and I have read every post ever written on the 10,382 websites dedicated to David. But it wasn’t until I had the opportunity, no wait, the privalege of spending the day with or around David that I finally got it. I witnessed something very special and surreal being in David’s presence. I have to thank Meleah for encouraging me to take the day off or otherwise I would have missed out on one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Whether David gave you a hug or a “vitual embrace”, he managed to make you feel like you were the most important person in the world at that moment. There is an aura that he projects that makes people feel like there is a sense of hope and optimism in a world that is becoming more challenging every day. I would guess that many who have criticized the decisions of today have never even met David. I understand that deep down they want the best for David and believe their way is what is best for David. Let us step back for a moment. What makes many people gravitate towards David is the obvious, his soaring, beautiful voice! However, we are also drawn to him for his innocense and the fact that he has not been jaded by humanitys’ shortcomings and failures. When you see polls on David’s demographics, they are all over the place. What American Idol has appealed to such a broad spectrum of people? For those that feel that David doesn’t know what is best for him, let’s not forget that he put together the greatest three- song finale in American Idol history. And yes, he had to do this without Jeff’s help if you remember. Speaking of Jeff, I came away with the distinct impression that he is a loving, caring father first and a co-manager second. In taliking with him, he allows David to make many of his own decisions and recognizes the fact that David is very much aware of who he is as an artist and a person. He gives credit to David for being the kind, caring, humble, and loving person David is today. We know David is very much a kid at heart and this is what endears many of us to him. However, in talking with David, I came away realizing that this is a young man who knows what he wants and has a plan to get there as well. He makes awkward and dorky COOL! But make no mistake, he is very wise beyond his years. Maybe we should all trust in David to make the right decisions, even if we don’t agree with them from time to time. Something tells me that he knows himself better than most of us know ourselves. When you have doubts about David’s career decisions, step back and ask yourself what makes you a fan of this incredible young man. My advice to everyone is to sit back and enjoy the ride on what will truely be a remarkable journey.”
