Friday, November 28, 2008 - Happy Thanksgiving

Hey Guys! Just wanted to say that I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!! We were in New York this week, and I had a blast! Yesterday was the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and that was really exciting. I was on the Green Dog float, and there were tons and tons and tons of people on the sides. It was pretty chilly too, but I heard that it was a really nice day compared to previous years haha. I bundled and layered up as much as I could though. I sang Crush near the end, and a couple of songs played during our time going down the streets. And there’s a mouse in here. Sorry I know that was random, but I can hear it wandering around and it keeps squeaking. I didn’t think there would be mice here but I guess there are… But anyway. Some kids from the PBS show Fetch were on my float too, and they were really nice kids. I also got to meet a bunch of other people who were in the parade, and it was really great getting to meet and talk with them. Miranda Cosgrove from iCarly was there too, and it was really cool to see and talk to her again. The sad thing is that I didn’t have my camera or phone with me, so I didn’t get to take my own pictures. Someone that worked there was nice enough to let me borrow their camera though before the parade started and I took pictures on my float, and on the Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends float! I know I’m such a dork but that’s my favorite cartoon lol. I was so excited to see it because it wasn’t too far behind me. But they were going to send me the pictures sometime soon.
The night before Thanksgiving, my mom and I went to see the musical In The Heights, and it was pretty much PHENOMENAL. It is seriously like one of my favorite musicals now. It was great that my mom was able to come to this particular musical too because it’s full of Latin music. So we had a great time with that, and also got to meet some of the cast members from it. I definitely recommend it if you ever get the chance to see it! The cast from the musical was also in the parade and did a number. Oh, the night before we saw the musical, my mom and I watched Twilight. I never read the books but a bunch of my friends are really into it, and the movie’s been getting a bunch of hype so we decided to go see it. I actually really liked it. The weird thing is when we walked into the theater Crush was playing so we walked back out because it was so weird haha. But anyway my blogs always get insanely longer than I intend for them to be, so I’ll end for today. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

P.S. It was really fun to see all the signs you guys made during the parade! haha

Songs for the day: Decode - Paramore (From the Twilight Soundtrack) It shows just how great of a singer Hayley is.

First off, Happy Thanksgiving to David and his family and to our visitors and all Arch Angels! I am so stuffed I feel like I am about to explode, lol. But David performed this morning on the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and he did a great job!!

We will have photos of David from the Parade up soon. Watch his performance!

David posted a new myspace blog today!

Friday, November 21- Concerts, AMAs, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and more!

Hey everyone!  I just wanted to thank all you guys for helping the album debut at number 2!  That is so incredible and I just appreciate all the support you guys have shown for that!  It’s really neat to know that you’re all still doing the things you do :).  But really thanks so much!  Having an album out there can actually be kinda scary when you put something out there and expose all your work to the open haha.   But I’m really glad to have this experience and learn so much from it.

I also just wanted to let you guys know really quick that I had enough time this week to work on my scouting!  I tried to do as much as I could earlier this week while I had some time off since I was home for a few days.  And then.. I had my eagle project yesterday!  I got a bunch of friends together to help me plant some small trees and shrubs at a park, and we planted 180 plants.  I’m so excited about this guys!  I didn’t think I’d ever have the time this year to work on my scouting, but we pushed for it.  Completing this is a really big thing for me, especially since I was wondering if I’d even be able to get it haha.  But I’ll let you know when I get everything wrapped up with that.

Some other things coming up, I’ll be presenting at the American Music Awards this weekend, and then there will be the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thanksgiving.  I’m way excited about both of those things!  I think there’s going to be a photo shoot coming up too.  Oh!  And one more thing.  A Little Too Not Over You has been selected to be the next single now!  That’s CRAZY!  I can’t believe a song I helped…. create lol…. is going to be released!  There are just a lot of things I’ve been really excited about lately.

One last thing.  I had a chance to go to another concert this week.  And that was the Carrie Underwood concert!  It was great!  And it’s so cool to see someone like her be so successful.  I can’t believe the way she’s able to sing every night, she has some mad skills.  What a great role model for people too.  She’s someone that everyone can look up to, and is proof you can be a humble small town girl and do well in this business.  Little Big Town opened up for her, and they are also great.  They have such amazing harmonies, and were uber nice too.  But I’m talking more than I wanted.  So I better get going here.  Talk to you guys later!

P.S. David Cook’s album rocks and is in stores!!

Song for the day: So I decided to have a few for today since it’s a special week.  So here they are haha.

The following are all by David Cook:

Light On

Come Back To Me

Permanent

Hey guys.. some of you may know the site has been going extremely slow and it’s because so many are online at a time, we just wanted to let you all know that our host is going to be moving us to a bigger and less busy server so if you experience the site not working or the site is down, we WILL be back online!! We should not be down for too long! Anyways, please know we are going to get a NEW LAYOUT up after the server switch! Right now, we cant get the layout to load in wordpress because its going slow but that should be resolved soon!

We will be getting updates up! As “We” I am talking about I & our new co-web, Dale! Dale will be around the site helping me keep it up to date for you guys! He is also a really big David Archuleta fan as I am so this should be fun.. We are going to have a ton of cool changes, and we will even get caught up on photos! Everyone welcome Dale to David Archuleta Web!

Okay I’m getting caught up! Yesterday was busy because I was just listening to David’s cd all day.. which I still am acturally listening too haha, its a great CD so everyone go pick up a few copies! David did really good on each performance, well done Archie!

DAVID ARCHULETA - IN STORES TOMORROW NOVEMBER 11TH!

Hey guys! I got a letter from someone at the Ellen DeGenerous show! Here is what they had to say:

TUNE IN! “American Idol” finalist David Archuleta will be appearing on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Friday, November 14^th 2008, performing “Crush” from his upcoming debut CD.  Don’t miss it!

That’s great! Everyone make sure to tune in and set your DVR’s!

Also, David uploaded a video log from New York to his youtube today.. he is in New York for the Today Show appearance and for TRL so tune into both tomorrow — also make sure to pick up David’s album tomorrow!!

FINALLY got another blog up giving an update on what went on this weekend. Sorry it took so long, I just avoid making them since I have such major issues making anything that involved me talking. I should probably find a way to take blog-making classes or something.

According to some sources, the next single on David’s album will be “Touch My Hand”, personally I would like Barriors or My Hands to be the second single, but this is still great, can’t wait for single #2!

Oh, and a radio DJ Elvis Duran played Archie’s song “Angels” which is available on itunes if you pre-order the album (also on the album 11/11!), the DJ’s had great things to say about David!

David shot a message for the magazines Tiger Beat and Bop! Listen to what he says..

Another video is from a few days ago, but It slipped my mind to even post about it haha, here you guys go. This is Archie on Busradio.. check it out!!

Here is David performing last night on Jay Leno, he performed “Crush” and it was great! I will have video up on the site’s youtube channel soon but until then check the video out thanks to FansOfDavid on youtube! Oh, and his band sounded great!!

David also posted a new blog on MySpace yesterday! I didnt know because my blog subscriptions (I subscribed to David’s blog) didn’t go off and let me know - I guess myspace was having problems haha anyways here it is:

11/6 PERFORMANCE ON JAY LENO TONIGHT!

Heey Everybody. This week has been the week of band rehearsals, and it’s been awesome! Everyone in the band has been way cool so far, and I’ve had a lot of fun rehearsing my own songs! We have performances coming up pretty quick here, with Jay Leno tonight already. I’ve been really enjoying it so far, and am looking forward for what’s coming up! It’s also getting pretty close to the album release too, which I’m so pumped for. I can’t wait to see what you guys think of it, since I’ve been spending so much time on it heh. Anyway, I have things to share with what else has been going on besides the band and rehearsing. Before things begin to get really hectic and busy, I was able to have some free time and go to Six Flags Magic Mountain! I love that place. It’s like roller coaster heaven. I love X2, Tatsu, Goliath, and Riddler’s Revenge. All the roller coasters are pretty good there, actually. I just don’t like when your head bangs side to side on the twisty ones, it gives me a headache.
Another thing I got to do was go to the Jason Mraz concert at the Greek Theater! We were in the 4th row center and I had such a good time! Castro came along too, and it’s always good to hang with him. It’s great the way Mraz communicates with the crowd. He’s really witty and makes it feel a lot more up-close and personal conversation he’s having, despite the fact that there are thousands of people there. I loved when he did Only Human, The Remedy, Life Is Beautiful, No Stopping Us, and I’m Yours (of course.. ha…) Honestly I loved all of them. Maybe I’m a little biased…. but I’m pretty sure all of the songs were just amazing. He did Oh Happy Day too! And that was sooo cool. K, I’m done with that now. We got the chance to talk to him for a little bit, even though he was getting MOBBED. It was really neat to see how friendly and laid back he was in person. You never know how people are going to be when you meet them, since they’re usually getting dragged all over the place and under a lot of stress. He kept his cool the entire time though, and I’m sure he’s been doing this for a while now. I had tickets for when he came to Utah on October 28th, but I had to do promotion stuff and couldn’t go :(. So I’m really glad I was able to go last Saturday! All rightyyyy… That’s enough of talking about that. If you haven’t gotten his new CD yet… you should really check it out
The last thing I’d like to talk about is something I did at the Universal City Walk. It’s this thing called iFly, and oh my heck! It’s roocks! You get to fly in a tube! I have a couple of pictures that I’ll put up. I was a little nervous at first, but it’s not even scary when you get in there. I kinda slobbered over myself, but that’s ok because it was totally worth it. I can’t really explain how it was because it was… just a really different experience. I guess it was kinda being like a bird or something… you just don’t move around a whole lot and you’re inside a tube. I guess I got a DVD of it… but I’m pretty sure I’m not going to show that haha. Anyway I’ve written quite a bit in this one, so I’ll try to get back later. 5 Days until the CD comes out!

P.S. I know I talked a ton about Jason Mraz, but I think that only makes it even more appropriate to share one of his songs today. So the song for today is A Beautiful Mess - Jason Mraz. It’s amaaazing when he does it live too!
