SnowAngelz: Canadian fans of David Archuleta 
{{{{Kizzi}}} I’m at work so could only listen to a smidgen of TMH and the beginning of Elevator then the uStream cut out for me anyway… when I read your liveblog & saw that D. took off his jacket during Elevator, that explained everything! LOLz
Hitz.fm interview where they actually bleep David!! 😯 Any guesses as to what they bleeped???
…and great photos from the interview on dj JJ’s HitzFM FB page HERE. (thanks, @AnnieDAFG for the find!!!) Here’s my fave …looks like D. had a blast! 🙂
Have not listened to the interview but I heard people on Twitter saying they bleeped “pigs” or “little pigs” or something like that…? Idk haha
oh, maybe ‘cuz it’s a Muslim country, no pork references? … He’d probably be mortified he said something that needed bleeping, lol.
Yeah that’s what people were saying I think… And yes he’d be sooo mortified lol
TOfan….you are the best!
IDK what was bleeped…haha…last person I could imagine being censored though
Saw this tweet – know the feeling?!!
xSakura_Harunox Sakura Haruno
@ArsumUpadhe David Archuleta XD I like him but after his live performance 2 nights b4, I became some kind of crazy fan XD
Another fantastic concert!! Can’t wait to see You tubes with Bachata,drums and of course singing crazy, heaven, etc. U stream was fun!! I kept thinking how many thousands of miles away this was!!
David sounded exuberant when it was over and came out one last time to throw kisses to the audience and bang on the drums. Praying for a safe return and even more exciting future for David and us!!
WOWWWW… epic ending to Crush and David comes back out to hit the drums for a sec, lolol
THIS is the ending to a David Archulet concert???????? Bring it ON baby. I am a lovin’ the free spirited Archulet somethin’ fierce.
Awestruck!!!!! {{{{hugs}}}|}
and here’s Love Don’t Hate at soundcheck… who the heck sounds this good at soundcheck??? LOOOVE this song!!!!!
…and Crazy *flails*
and parts of Crazy/SBM/Heaven at the concert 🙂
Hi! Just want to share a few from the events here in Malaysia (yes, I flew from Manila to KL, Malaysia last night to watch David’s last stop in Asia because I know its going to be epic).
Here’s the setlist from David’s concert in Malaysia. He sang 17 songs. I think David decided to add Crazy in the encore just before he came out for the encore.
I am uploading my videos of David’s soundcheck BEFORE the official soundcheck that was for VVIP ticket holders. We walked into the stadium not knowing that we weren’t supposed to go in yet (no one stopped us). We heard the band playing so we thought the soundcheck for VVIPs already started. He sang 5 songs (Altnoy, TMH, EAM, STR, Elevator). There’s a portion in EAM that David sang using his lower register. We only found out that we weren’t supposed to be there yet when Jeff saw us and wondered how we got in. I guess, the security got an earful from Jeff after that.
My videos are still uploading but you can check them in my channel – http://www.youtube.com/user/lormie
I am also uploading the Q&A vid during soundcheck. I was able to capture the part where David was supposed to sing a few lines from Adele’s Someone Like You (he played a bit on the piano) but the host cut him off and told everyone that it’s already time for Q&A. Lucky was the girl who got a birthday song/greeting from David.
I am also writing my recap which I hope to complete soon. It’s 3:30 AM here but I still can’t get over all the events from the last 24 hours.
lorms!!!!! WOW!!!!! What an amazingly epic experience!!! Thanks for sharing it …can’t wait to read your recap!!!!! And so cool to see the setlist … love the spots for “BANTER” bahahaha … and can’t wait to see your vids from the pre-VVIP soundcheck!!!!
Um, please tell me the address for this “host” who stopped David from singing Someone Like You so I can hunt him down and lock him in a piano … jk…sort of…
Just watched your soundcheck vids & they were so amazing I embedded them at the top of the post! Wow, thank you!!!
lorms THANKS and can hardly wait to read your recap!
Thanks so much, am loving your vids and can’t wait for your recap!!!
Tofan, am still alive! Hugs back.
I LOVE Love Don’t Hate – the background vocals, the ‘tinkly’ accompanment (can’t place the instrument)… Lady V influence isn’t it?
Have to go but will be back to check out Crazy…
Awestruck {{{{Hugs}}}} Love ya’ Give my best to Mr. Awestruck. Miss ya. And “Crazy” is just insane. 😀
(((Kizzi))) Love ya’ and miss ya too and Mr. Awestruck says HI
Crazy holds a special place in my heart and soul… and for soundcheck WOW, just WOW.
I tried to watch Crazy full screen and It was too much…. crazy
Hiiiiiii everyone! Wasn’t David simply amazing?
So he is bound for home. So we in Asia did not kidnap him, ok? Although we were SO TEMPTED 😉 In Manila we had the Malaysians, Aussies, HK peeps, and even 1 from Saudi Arabia plotting, LOL. His next engagement in the US is in September yet. So I hope people would flock to see him. But he should get his much deserved rest. The man works so dang hard!
JR, actually, I don’t think he would mind all that much! I am sure a big piece of his heart has been left in Asia.
So glad you survived your Archu experience JR!!! Watching from over here was amazing, can’t even imagine being there!!!
Sensory overload. It is almost all too much to absorb.
He has slain me…agin. How many times can he do it?
Crazy is crazy, Crush is crazy, Love Don’t Hate, lOve it!
Run out of words for him.
Anw, last night I met REFNAF at livestream chat and mentioned to her that I just finished uploading my DALIM3 concert vids. I know that we are already happily drowning w/ videos, interviews and pix bu in case anyone is interested, I recorded the whole Manila concert. Naree and I tag teamed to exchange cameras in case anyone of our recording gadgets lost power or memory.
Since its been weeks since I have been around sites (and had to play catch up updating TDC), I hope you don’t mind if I post them here in the latest, though unrelated, thread.
It is in 7 parts. If the view seems to be out of focus or that David seems to be out of center, that only means am looking at him straight and not through the lens. I mean come on – you can’t blame me, now can you?! LOL
And if some parts are a bit shaky, that only means the people from my right keep on creeping & jostling into my space 😦 Here we go:
Part 01 — STR, TOSOD, ALTNOY, LDH
Part 02 — EWTRTW, SBL, TMH
parts 3-7 in the next posts. BTW, am NOT the one singing in the background…
continuation of DALIM3: The Concert
Part 03 — MKOP, GGTT mashed w/ MIAB (+ band intro)
Part 04 — MY HANDS, ATM
cont of DALIM3 The Concert
Part 05 — ATM, FALLING STARS, SBM, EAM
Part 06- ELEVATOR, ZG
Finally – the epic encore #’s
Part 07 — HEAVEN & CRUSH
Just to clarify, am not the one singing in the background, ok? Yeah was really tempted to do something to her, esp during EAM, lol
Then, if you want a seriously upclose M&G footage @ SM Megamall, got that one, too
Guard keeps asking me to step back, so what I did was seat near the ream of the stage, and he became quite ok with that, tee-hee. One of the advantages of being small 😉 You could not even see as I am being covered by the monitor/speakers in front of David.
Enjoy everyone!
Bahahhahaha. Ironies of ironies. I post a ton of materials and emmegirl comments “sensory overload”
So sorry (chuckling)
LOL, JR, aMAZing videos!!!! Was thinking of you the whole time David was in “Maneela” 🙂 ! Were you there when Naree did her interview with D.??? *hopes* Love your strategy at the SM Megamall … ninja JR FTW!!!! 😆
Just need a day or two to decompress and then I’ll be strapping on my oxygen and diving in again, into the deep end. 🙂
Hello everyone! Can you help trend a welcome for David on Twitter? If so please tweet #WelcomeHome@davidarchie&band
Thanks! 🙂
DUH sorry we cannot use symbols! Let’s do #WelcomeHomeDavidArchuleta
Thanks!
JR4DA – great videos as always; your channel is a treasure trove. Can always feel the love! 😀
fguc – funny girl is that you? Yeah, a great big Twitter-style welcome would be wonderful! Thanks for the info.
David drumming a bit at sound check in Hanoi:
The beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da
and the beat goes on, and on, and on…..
Priceless, thx. Kiz! Why do I have this feeling that we’ll see David play the drums in concert before we see him on guitar? LOL … Maybe seeing Mumford & Sons at the Bonnaroo Festival this summer (where Marcus Mumford sings lead while playing the drums on certain songs) inspired him! 😆
ahhhh, there’s a Part 2! 🙂
This is too cool, I have two drummers in my family and I say Go David!!!
emmegirl>> “Sensory overload. It is almost all too much to absorb.
He has slain me…agin. How many times can he do it?””
I am so blown away How many times can he do it?? I am beginning to think this is going to go on and on, he is driven to push and perfect each song, and wow, we are the beneficiaries…………..
I was able to do the ustream (( hi JR)) awesome to be able to watch and meet with fans from all over.
Kizzi love this post, you have a way with building excitement…. and this>> “What a wonderful show – jumpy, freezing UStream and all. Just to get to experience it half way round the world is still a load of fun. Next stop, Gilbert, AZ – 19 songs, no make that 20 with 3 encores, right!!???
20 songs??? WFM!!!
fguc, is there a special time for the trending???
Must-read blog from Alicia: “An Amazing Two Days With David Archuleta” in Malaysia, read HERE! … she asks him about getting to talk to Michael Jackson! And love this: “time isn’t very relevant when you know that you’re going to hear David Archuleta sing live” LOLOL, ain’t it the truth! 😆
.
…aaaaaand another awesome KL blog, read HERE … fave bit: If you cut him, I swear music would flow out.” LOL
I am so behind. Hahaha attempting to catch up today before I leave for a cross Canada adventure tomorrow and all chances of catching up will be gone lol.
Realllllllly wish that host had let him sing Someone Like You! *dies just thinking about it*. He’s so funny “I haven’t really practiced it” and then starts playing it one handed on the piano hahaha.
Yeah, that’s about as far as I’ve gotten to catching up on this post. lol will be back!
abanana – cross Canada you say… if you are coming through Calgary and have time contact me!!! You can get my e-mail through TOfan!
LOL, abanana! Try to see this KL Heaven before you go on your cross-Canada adventure (will also post on the Malaysia Vids Page 🙂 )!
Can hardly catch my breath after that Heaven, ohmygosh!
Amazing. Affecting my motivation to pack though. Have watched like 25 times lol
lol, I know! I couldn’t believe tofan did that to you!
oh no, lol, sorry, ab!!! It’s just soooo amazing … completely different than the other equally amazing one from Manila … how does he do that with exactly the same song?????? *replays*
Wow, so much to take in. I’ve hardly had a chance to make a dent on all these incredible videos, recaps, love, love and more love. I will absorb it all….eventually. Wonderful post, thanks to all for contributing. What a tour this was! Can only say Bravo to David….you ‘astounding, dazzling, knock ’em off their feet’ performer you!!…. bravo to the band, to the sponsors, to the loving, supportive, awesome fans. I just watched that heavenly gorgeous video of Heaven, had to watch that one, again and again… leaves you at a loss for words, wow. So much to take in still.
All the fan love is incredible and love the many sweet tweets like this one (which I adore) and love that so many males are big fans too:

Asia mp3 ALERT!!! Here are mp3s for the Asia tour from Abrra HERE
…and from @jenleighbarry, mp3s from the amazing KL, Malaysia, show HERE (adding more later).
Thanks so much you guys!!!!
oh my abrra and jenleighbarry I’m going Crazy in Heaven THANK YOU!
I am having trouble downloading Abrra’s EWTRTW though…
Hi everyone! I know you’ve read a lot of recaps already from the different tour stops in Asia. Here’s what I’ve been able to put together since the concert in Malaysia last Tuesday night. The first half was written while I was waiting for the concert to start; the other half was after the concert and just a few moments ago, ha ha!
http://lorms.wordpress.com/2011/07/28/malaysia/
lorms, wonderful recap, thank you!
– I especially hope this is true “Before I end this already very long recap, I’d like to share one of the speculations I heard that logically explains why David wore the same outfit to his shows in Manila, Vietnam and Malaysia. Maybe, just maybe, Sony is planning to release an Asian Tour DVD and they will put the best of the best shots of David’s show together from the different venues. This utterly made sense and I hope it’s true.”
lorms, LOVE your recap!!!!! Thank you so much!!!! I saw the roses flying through the air in naree’s STR vid, hahaha, now I know why?
And awestruck, I was just about to copy that same bit over … eeeeeee, please let that be true!!!!!!!!!! *spazz*
Great review Lorms. Oh a DVD would be so great! Sandybeaches was predicting this!
New post/thread!
