<p><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">Archuleta Fan Scene is asking fans for song ideas for David&#8217;s Christmas Album:</span></strong></span></span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#333333;">It may only be the second week of June but the promise of a Merry Christmas is already here.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#333333;">Ever since David Archuleta recorded his demo of “O Holy Night” back in December 2003, fans have been eagerly anticipating the release of his first Christmas album.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#333333;">Fan Scene was allowed a sneak “peek” into Santa’s workshop to see what might lie in store for all the good little boys and girls this holiday season. While most of the presents are still under wraps, Santa told us that “O Holy Night” and “Silent Night” will both be making the CD!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#333333;">“Mary Did You Know” and “The Christmas Song” probably won’t make the cut at this point, but the elves are still working on song selection so it may be a month or so before they are sure which songs are the best mix. In the meanwhile, they’d like to hear what songs YOU would like to hear on the David Archuleta Christmas Album.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#333333;">Go <strong><a href="http://archuletafanscene.com/2009/06/12/david-archuleta-christmas-album/#comment-10430">Here</a></strong> to add your views.</span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">Here are some very notable Christmas songs that David has sung:</span></strong></span></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">Silent Night</span></strong></em></p>
<p><span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://archuletavenue.wordpress.com/2009/06/13/christmas-album-buzz-archuduties/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/QxiMReFqdzE/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">O Holy Night</span></strong></em></p>
<p><span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://archuletavenue.wordpress.com/2009/06/13/christmas-album-buzz-archuduties/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/2d6hHb8-cA0/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span></p>
<p><em><strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">Mary Did You Know</span></strong></em></p>
<p><span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://archuletavenue.wordpress.com/2009/06/13/christmas-album-buzz-archuduties/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/vQxi9UjqfKQ/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>As for me I hope he&#8217;ll sing this song from Celine Dion</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://archuletavenue.wordpress.com/2009/06/13/christmas-album-buzz-archuduties/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/-fmrPlhvDC8/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">Stripped versions of ALTNOY, ATM, Angels</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#333333;">From soundscene</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#333333;">Apparently that NYC show for Z100/Clear Channel was for Stripped after all. Y100 already has up the video On Demand of ALTNOY, ATM and Angels &#8220;Stripped,&#8221; although ALTNOY isn&#8217;t really &#8220;stripped&#8221; by the unplugged definition (he was singing to a backing track). I assume that Y100 probably put this up early b/c it&#8217;s the only Clear Channel station to have it up right now that I can tell. Others should follow.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#333333;">Unfortunately we in Malaysia are not licensed to view the performances. So unless someone can get it on youtube&#8230;. no chance lah!</span></p>

<blockquote><p><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">David Archuleta Not Surprised By Adam Lambert&#8217;s Coming Out</span><br />
<span style="font-style:italic;">The season-seven &#8216;American Idol&#8217; runner-up thinks Lambert wasn&#8217;t &#8217;sneaky and secret&#8217; about being gay.</span></span></p>
<p>Seventh-season &#8220;American Idol&#8221; runner-up David Archuleta is standing behind eighth-season runner-up Adam Lambert&#8217;s decision to announce that he is gay. Following the outpour of support from &#8220;Idol&#8221; judges, fellow contestants and fans, Archuleta announced his respect for Lambert and downplayed the overall significance of the revelation.</p>
<p>&#8220;I know it&#8217;s always interesting and surprising and shocking [to people] when they say those things, but that&#8217;s up to them, it&#8217;s their lives,&#8221; Archuleta said, according to a report from Rolling Stone. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think it was a big surprise.&#8221;</p>
<p>Archuleta was speaking in Washington, D.C., where he attended the Children Uniting Nations gala and performed a fan favorite from his &#8220;Idol&#8221; days, John Lennon&#8217;s &#8220;Imagine.&#8221;</p>
<p>Addressing Lambert&#8217;s decision to stay mum on his sexuality throughout the talent competition, Archuleta said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t think he was trying to be all sneaky and secret about it. I&#8217;m sure he was happy with who he was and stuff, it&#8217;s not like he was ashamed.&#8221;</p>
<p>Like many of the people MTV News has spoken with about the revelation, Archuleta was not surprised when Lambert came out of the closet. &#8220;I just kind of assumed it; I think everyone else did too,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s a bad thing or anything.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">Remarking that Lambert was &#8220;really cool&#8221; when the singers met at a recent &#8220;Idol&#8221; performance, Archuleta went on to pay respect to the man&#8217;s talent. &#8220;He seems really confident when he&#8217;s onstage, but I don&#8217;t think it comes across as cocky or anything, and when I talked to him, it seemed like he was appreciating everything that was going on, and he was really grateful for those opportunities that he had,&#8221; he said.</span><span style="color:#000000;"> </span><strong><a href="http://www.seventeen.com/fun-stuff/17-buzz/david-archuleta-thousand-miles"></a></strong></p></blockquote>
