And am I the only one who’s kind of surprised every time David mentions driving or we see him behind the wheel?
I don’t know why.
Maybe because it seems like such a grown up thing to be doing… or a normal, every day thing to be doing.
Or because I think he should beam instantly places like they do on Star Trek. idek
…..
Was thinking last night how awesome it is that technology allows us all to share in the wonderful performances of David’s from all corners of the Earth (a def. step up from the crappy cell cast days)… but even more than technology, the generosity of the peeps who take the time and effort to record and share these gems with us. I really can’t say thanks enough for that.

AND HE’S DOING A PHOTOSHOOT TODAY FOR HIS NEW SONGS… NEW SONGS… NEW … SONGS … LET THAT JUST SINK IN FOR A NANOSEC, Y’ALL … SORRY FOR THE ALL CAPS, I MAY BE A TAD EXCIIIIIIIIIIITEDDDDDD!!!!!!!
Yo, anyone else??🙂
p.s.
Can I just say that I love the way he was going to end the clip then thought about all the other people in the world in different time zones and added an extra section just for them. This is the person we are cheering on / supporting / benevolently stalking, my friends. I feel pretty happy about that right about now.🙂
p.s.
aww, Kari’s there too!
.
p.p.s.
I like to think David is the bouncing guy back aways on the right.🙂
It looks as though this post was removed from David’s FB. (Probably because it sparked a whole thread of comments from peeps who thought it meant that David’s official FB was fake… what the heck is WRONG with people??)
.
So, as a public service, here are some helpful tips on how to spot a fake Archie page.
Tip #1
They spell Archuleta with two “T”s … Prefaced by “Mrs.”
.
Tip #2
The timeline includes ZERO posts about food.
.
Tip #3
His wings are missing.
.
Tip # 4
The bandsintown.com notice is for Toronto.
.
Tip #5
He’s, um, tanned all over.
.
Tip #6
He’s wearing a man bun.
.
Tip #7
He asks for your number so he can text you.
.
Tip #8
You suspect he’s actually Ryan Lochte.
.
Tip #9
His version of Crush sounds a little different.
.
Tip #10 — and the surest sign of all.
He says his album’s coming out tomorrow.
How about you guys? What do you think the signs would be?
.
p.s.
Beautiful!
Watch how beautifully Daisuke Murakami* performed his skating 2 ‘The Prayer’ by Nathan Pacheco and David Archuleta!! https://t.co/6KI6Ab9rzx
Interesting interview with Shawn Mendes (who grew up just east of my old neighbourhood) … “You have to be careful not to make music something you don’t want to do,” he says.
I stumbled *cough*creeped*cough* on this convo… is it not the cutest thing ever? (And don’t worry, I didn’t bud in with my own tweet and weird them out, I’m sure this will soon be happening A LOT!🙂 )
And this is the video that started their convo:

TWEET OF THE CENTURY GOES TO! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

“We played in the play room and made forts”???? “They immediately found a Disney game that I whip out from time to time”??????? NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NOT FAIR, ARCHULETA!

Imagine, courtesy of Gengen *sniff*… amazes me how well he knows his voice so he can work around limitations while he’s sick and change things up so he makes it work in a brand new way. Guess I’m a fan.🙂

The Moon Represents My Heart Pt I (Gengen, again🙂 who says “his pronunciation of Mandarin is perfect”!)
lyrics：
You ask me how deep my love for you is, how much I love you. Look at the moon and think. The moon represents my heart.
A small kiss has touched my heart. A deep love has made me think of you until now.
Most grateful to the generous Mr Chewea Hu again! Enjoy David’s photos at Taipei concert! Poor baby showed what a trooper he truly was that day. The last two pics are us waving to his last song. He sang “the moon represents my heart”, IN CHINESE!
Thanks, Gengen, and Mr. Chewea Hu!
No captions needed for these, am I right? *sniff*
.
p.s. TISSUE ALERT!... clutched my chest the entire time watching this, just want to jump through the screen and give him a hug… and then have security politely escort him offstage and force him to get the rest he needs to get well. Oh, dear David.
.
p.p.s.
. Bringing this over from The Voice, thanks, dja & fenfan!
Translation from Fenfan:
“The MC said she was surprised and touched to see fans who had come from Britain, America, Canada and the Philippines to attend the press conference and asked them to say a few words to David.
“GenGen talked about her experience as a fan of David from Idol days till now. David came to her attention when he sang Angels and Imagine. She was in Canada at that time and set up a David news site. There were many Chinese fans at that time who were around the same age as David i.e high school age. They were all influenced and inspired by David. Gengen herself had never followed any idol before David. She is very inspired and moved by his singing and his spirit. While she was in Canada she attended nearly 20 of his concerts in America. Then David went on his mission and activities died down. During the time when David was away, Gengen herself was in China where she was involved in a project (I didn’t understand what this project was about). Now David is in Taiwan and she is back in Taiwan. She believes she and the fans and David have yuanfen, having been on this fan journey for almost 10 years. She hopes the other fans can say a few words. She and the fans want to sincerely thank David.
“A note on yuanfen: this is a Chinese concept that has no equivalent in English. It roughly translates to a kind of fated or predestined affinity, connection or relationship. Please google for further explanation of this concept as I am in no position to expound on Chinese philosophy here. LOL”
I love that concept of “yuanfen”! Sounds about right!🙂 And pretty cool to hear Gengen mention Toronto to David!🙂
. VIDEOOOOOOOS!!!!!!
How many times have I heard him sing Imagine? And it STILL makes me cry. Dang.
And HOWLING that David’s “Shawty, why’d you leave me” intro to MKOP is being simultaneous translated… how that guy did not start cracking up is beyond me, what a true professional! LOL

Calgary’s lovely Gengen (who has been doing humanitarian work in Asia for the past few years) is at the press conference! (Who knew she’d have better luck seeing David sing there, than I have here in Toronto?🙂 )
Apparently, Gregory live-streamed David’s “Glorious” on FB… fingers crossed we get to see/hear it!
p.s.
more from Gengen….
LOVE; THIS SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!
Me: David! You haven’t changed a bit! (not being flattering, 100% true) David: You haven’t changed either, still as energetic. Ah! The good old Fangirling mode is on, again!
. IS THERE ANY SMILE SMILIER THAN THAT OF A PERSON MEETING DAVID ARCHULETA?!?
.
VIDEOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
.
his change-ups are … Glorious!!!!🙂

This picture reminds me of the tagline on the lovely @rhiminee’s Tumblr: “David Archuleta is a precious porkchop who must be protected at all times.” #word
Sorry, that was not a survey, but a rhetorical question.
Cannot WAIT for his new music… no seriously, finding it physically impossible to maintain patient composure. This teaser is awesome and all but it’s like being given two crumbs of a giant dark chocolate bar when you KNOW all those other magnificent squares are out there somewhere.
Okay, now I need chocolate. And more David music.
What do you guys think???
p.s. DYING to caption this but I’ll behave🙂
