Bubbliliciously good from neonlimelight

There are several reasons why we adore David Archuleta. He’s a former American Idol contestant and we are nuts for Idol! He’s always humble and gracious. It’s like the kid doesn’t know he’s awesome. And probably the biggest selling point: he’s talented beyond reason.

He’s done some pretty epic covers in the past and on a recent concert stop, he added to the list with a cover of Colbie Caillat’s sleeper hit single Bubbly. Perfect song choice for Archie, and his voice? Buttery good!

Prince Of American Idol

If you have any lingering doubts about David Archuleta’s status as one of the most successful American Idol contestants in the history of the show, look to the hordes of sobbing tweens that linger in his wake. There should be plenty of them in town the night of the 28^th, when Archuleta brings his smooth, R&B-inflected pop to Pittsburgh. Like his committed fans, Archuleta’s many accolades speak to his success as a performer.

Take more than a pinch of youthful vigor, combine it with a classic pop voice and you’ve got the recipe for David Archuleta. And don’t forget the fans.

Seriously the boy is the bestest

Recently a fan ( Bianca from TeamArchie) was asked to pass a letter to David during the Seattle stop. And would cha know it David not only read the letter BUT responded as well!

Lately I’ve been really enchanted by the Black Eyed Peas‘ latest party anthem I Gotta Feeling. It’s quite a departure from the techno/r&b sound of their first single. With it’s catchy, essentially pop beats crafted by  club hit-maker David Guetta’s production and sound engineering skills, the Peas has another winner. The song is very mainstream for a hip/hop outfit and has a huge feel-good vibe to it giving the Peas another facet to their sound thus keeping the group in the fore front of the musical landscape. Using a simple message “Let’s party!” it’ll doubtless  be THE signature tune of the Summer season.

When I first heard the song, not knowing that it was from the Black Eyed Peas, I immediately had a thought, “Hm.. wouldn’t it be great if David came up with such a song?”

In my mind’s eye I could see him executing a variety of hurly, whirly dance steps on the stage while his band pounded out the song. What a great opening number it would be for his own headlining tour. “I gotta feeling that tonight’s gonna be a good, good night!” I smiled at the scene running through my brain just like the countless times the same silly smile would appear whenever one of David’s songs came on. My feet would start tapping and my head would bop along with the song all the while having a real rush. Endlessly I would switch between stations hoping for a Crush, Touch My Hand or Zero Gravity but alas, more often than not, I am bombarded by a stream of dull, banal and largely uninspiring fare. Most have left me bewildered, searching for any musical merits in a veritable desert. I confess that I Gotta Feeling is the first non David Archuleta song in the last 18 months that I’ve downloaded and looks to be the only one for the foreseeable future. I believe I may have been ‘brainwashed’ by David’s singing to the point where no one else seems worthy and I wish the radio was like Astro with over a hundred stations each playing an assortment of David’s music.

It’ll take a lifetime to expound on the exact reasons why I get such a natural high from listening to David. The most cogent one I can come up with is that his voice simply agrees with me. Physics students of harmonics and frequency would tell you that this is probably resonance – when one object vibrating at the same natural frequency of a second object forces that second object into the same vibrational mode. Put simply, everything, be it animate or inanimate, vibrates with an innate frequency and when it contacts another object vibrating at the same natural frequency, then both are vibrating in harmony. It is this same phenomena that happens when the cadence of a huge crowd jumping up and down at a rock concert exactly matches the natural frequency of the concrete terraces causing them to shake ominously and in danger of collapsing.

However on the flip side,  and delightfully so, such symmetry can also bring about a happy flood of endorphins which our resident food scientist would explain is the body’s hormones producing a natural feel-good moment. A kind of drug if you will but one that is brought about the natural way through exercise, being in the company of loved ones or listening to a good song. In the latter situation David’s voice washes over me, through me and the endorphins are at a feverish pitch – our frequencies are in sync. For a few minutes at least I’m transported and all is right with the universe, the planets are aligned:

The world just disappears
When you’re here
It’s zero gravity
When things get messed up
I lift my head up
And I get lost in the clouds
There’s no sense of time with you around
It’s zero gravity

I gotta feeling and it’s a preeetty good one. Unfortunately the rush remains for only a bit until the next inane song comes on and I  crash to Earth with a thud!
