David in concert plus a little quiz

This is an amazing picture of David in concert ( not sure which Jingle Ball show though ). But it’s a dynamic take on the Archuleta emotional power punch on stage. So rock-starish; the clenched fist, stand apart legs, hitting a sustained note and shot from an angle that makes him look ten feet tall. It reminds me so much of the finale night when he gave that unforgettable and emotional performance of DLTSGDOM. The quintessential image of an artist in full throttle on stage. This is the David I’ve always imagined he would be in concert; power, dynamism, compelling, magnetic and connecting with the crowd on a visual as well as visceral level. It’s such a stark contrast to his usual shy awkward self and the teeny bopper image that some want to limit him to that it’s like yin and yang. This picture speaks of the smoldering artist within reaching out to the crowd with an intense, potent assertion that’s frankly mesmerizing. The potential for an electric display of on stage performing skills leaves me breathless with anticipation for the day he ever makes it to our shores for a concert.

“Hot 100 Singles Recurrents is a music chart published weekly by Billboard magazine. This chart ranks singles that have reached Billboard recurrent criteria. Billboard describes a Hot 100 recurrent as a song which has spent twenty weeks on the Hot 100 and has fallen below position fifty. The scope of this chart is to highlight songs that continue to receive significant airplay on U.S. radio stations well past their peak in mainstream popularity, while keeping the turnover of the main Hot 100 chart as fresh and current as possible.”

iCarly pics and Articles Nickelodeon Crushes on David Source

Nickelodeon’s pre-Valentine’s “Crush Night” is music to kids’ ears when teen “Idol” David Archuleta takes on his newest challenge: The crush-worthy singing sensation makes his acting debut on the mega-hit iCarly, and helps kick off all-new episodes of back-to-back romance-themed primetime premieres, Saturday, February 7 (8-9:30 p.m. ET/PT). Archuleta, whose hit single “Crush” is topping the Billboard charts, teams up with iCarly headliner Miranda Cosgrove to celebrate teen romance as they host the night from the set of iCarly. Archuleta performs his current hit “Crush” (February 7) and his new single, “A Little Too Not Over You” — debuting the new tune on TV within Nick’s Crush Night encore, Sunday, February 15 — in front of adoring fans, and the duo also unveils premieres of iCarly, True Jackson, VP and The Naked Brothers Band.

Kicking off the New Year right, iCarly and True Jackson, VP are the new number-one and number-two kids’ programs, respectively, on all of television with K6-11 and T9-14, as Nickelodeon ended the month of January as the clear leader with kids and tweens. iCarly averaged 11.1/2.4 million K6-11 and 10.2/2.2 million T9-14. True Jackson, VP averaged 7.8/1.6 million K6-11 and 7.0/1.5 million T9-14. Archuleta, 17, affirms his first acting gig was enjoyable and came with a couple of perks. “I was nervous and thought I’d be awful, but it felt really comfortable and came pretty easily since I was allowed to play myself. With ‘iCarly’ I got to hang out with kids my own age for a change, and that was a real bonus.” An added plus was the network itself. “I’m a huge fan of Nickelodeon’s, and two of my favorite shows growing up were Kenan & Kel and All That, so it was especially cool to make my acting debut on a Nick show.” Kicking off the night, at 8 p.m., fellow teen idols/budding pop stars Cosgrove — whose single “About You Now” has charted on multiple Billboard charts including the Hot 100 Singles Chart and the Hot Digital Tracks — and Archuleta converge with comedy on Nick’s convergent hit series iCarly. Season-seven American Idol runner-up Archuleta plays himself in the episode titled “iRocked the Vote.” Archuleta stars as a contestant on an “Idol”-esque show called “America Sings” who gets a huge spike in votes after being cheered on Carly’s (Cosgrove) webcast. When runner-up Wade King tells a sob story about his sick mother, guilt-ridden Carly invites him on her web show, only to discover that he’s an arrogant phony. Carly uses it as an amazing opportunity to welcome nice-guy superstar/heartthrob David Archuleta as a special guest.

David on Neon Limelight

Neon Limelight has culled David as one of the male recording artists who should play the lead in ‘Thriller: The Musical’ (though this is unofficial):

David Archuleta

Why he should get the role: Talk about putting butts in seats! Fans will flock to see Archie perform! He’s got a great voice to pull off any song, and we’d totally believe him when he utters the famous “I’m not like most guys” line.

The MJ song we want to hear: We want to see Archie sex it up a bit singing “PYT.” Swoonarific!

Why he shouldn’t get the role: Besides his total lack of dance skills, the producers would force him to tan or use “black face.” Riots will start. Al Sharpton will hold a press conference. It won’t be until the huge public fall-out is over that producers will realize they can just change the role up ala Usher as Billy Flynn in Chicago. Racial!

LOLOLOLOL!!! 😀

MTV’s Buzzworthy Article

OMD! Arch Angels, you’ve totally already seen it already, but I’d be remiss not to devote an entire post to David Archuleta’s latest video, “A Little Too Not Over You,” known in the Archu-mmunity as “ALTNOY.” Anyway, my digi cam’s got blurry, fuzzy shots of, like, my cat and family vacations so ancient I’m not even like related to those people anymore, but David Archuleta’s memory card is full of mature-sounding memories. Seriously, is David almost all growed up? Also, more importantly, who would dump Archie? NOT Buzzworthy, obvs! (And WHY was that girl so emo over losing at “Rock Band”? Ew.)

Article in its entirety HERE.

New MySpace Blog:

Adele, Senior Ball and Miranda all in 3 days!

Hi all. David here with another blog. So this week I got to go to the Adele concert!! Adele is amazing amazing amazing amazing, and she sounds so good live! James Morrison opened up for her, and he sings with so much soul. It’s so weird to see him perform because white people usually don’t sing like that haha. But anyway, I loved how Adele didn’t move around a whole lot when she performed.
She was all about the voice, and didn’t try to change that. What’s also cool is that it was at the Murray Theater in Murray, my home town! A few of my friends came with me too, so good times haha.
This Saturday was another extremely exciting day, because I got to go to Senior Ball at my high school!! I didn’t think I’d ever get another chance to go to a school dance, but I asked management and they gave the ok and made time in the schedule for me to go. I had soooo much fun! For our day activity, we had breakfast and then played games. We fit in a lot of them too. We played dodge ball, basketball, musical chairs, apples to apples, and crab soccer. I got a good work out from the crab soccer too haha. We rocked out at the dance too, and even though I sweat so bad it was worth it.
The girl I got to go with was awesome too. After the dance we all watched Mall Cop, but I kept falling asleep lol. I was so tired.
And I had to wake up early in the morning anyway for a flight.
So yesterday, we flew back down to LA, and I did some things for Nickelodeon with Miranda Cosgrove. It was something that involved more lines to say, haha. So I was really nervous before we started, but once we got going I had so much fun! It felt like Miranda and I just hung out all day long, and she’s such a nice girl. But yeah, the lines were for Crush Night that’s coming up on February 7th! The day of my acting debut.. when the episode of iCarly I’m on airs. It really is so much fun working with all of them on that show. I wasn’t sure if I’d get to work with them anytime soon, so when I heard I was going to be working with Miranda Sunday, I was pumped! haha. But yeah, I’ll stop talking about that and save it for the week it comes on. But keep that on your calendars! It’s a big day haha. Well for me anyway. But yeah I wrote an awfully lot in this blog. But it was a big weekend! Adele, the school dance, and Miranda all in 3 days. But I will post some pictures for you guys. Bye bye.

Song of the week: Adele “Best for Last.” Her album is my favorite right now!

Teen American Idol Star David Archuleta To Launch First Solo Tour

American Idol breakout star David Archuleta will be launching his first solo tour at the end of February, and he admits he’s anxious. “Hopefully, I’ll be ready, but I can’t help being nervous about it. It’s a really big step, and you wonder whether anyone will come out to see the shows, what songs to perform and all,” says the 18-year-old cutie.

There’s little doubt the teen idol, who’s racked up several hits and done the “American Idols” tour already, will prove a draw. He has a vast fan following, and has gotten used to crazy fan encounters.

Last week near his Utah home, for instance, “I was running on an indoor track and this girls’ sports team spotted me, and they started running with me and screaming. About 20 girls,” he tells us. He tried to tune them out. “I had my headphones on.”

The fans will get to see lots more Archuleta Feb. 7 — guesting as himself on Nickelodeon’s “iCarly,” and hosting the channel’s romance-themed night with “iCarly” star Miranda Cosgrove. “That was fun,” he says of doing the episode. “I don’t usually get to do work things with kids around my age, and that was great.”

He did ask for a change in the script that has him competing on a reality show. “I was supposed to say I hated this other person, but I don’t really hate anyone. Since I was playing myself, I didn’t want people to think I’d hate somebody,” he says. “That’s really not me. So we watered it down a little bit — ‘I don’t really like that person’ — and it was fine.”

As far as whether he’d like to try acting in the future, Archuleta says, “This wasn’t really acting, but it did give me a little taste of how it would be. I was surprised by how much I liked it and how much fun I had.”
