Interesting interview with Stephanie Mabey HERE where she talks about “Glorious,” David and him screaming from a cab in Chile when the window blows off. 🙂
SnowAngelz: Canadian fans of David Archuleta 
Oh please, no contest.
David Archuleta is the only truly COOL one in the bunch!
#Realisthenewcool #Politeisthenewcool #Humbleisthenewcool ….I could go on but you guys know the rest.
Love all those photos.
I ❤ him. That page will never turn. 😉
ps. TOfan, I'm glad your "brain on DA" was inspired to post today..
Aww, that last one is an all-time favorite! He wins the minute he genuinely smiles. It’s infectious and he makes winners of everyone around him, too!
Lmao!!! “Scootch on over miss”….OMG you kill me!! 😂😂😂😂😂. He’s definitely the cool one ❤️❤️
Oh, David wins the fan photo Olympics and Nobel Prize. From my one and only VIP photo op:
Me, approaching him for a handshake after my daughter’s photo: “Just wanted to say hi. Don’t really want a picture….”
Him: “Awwww, why not? C’mon, do it to remember this by!”
My daughter: “Yes, Mom, do it!”
Me (sheepishly): “Oh-kayyy”
Him: Huge smile, arm tightly around my shoulder.
Me: Totally melting.
Love this story 😊😊😊
I love your sense of humor, don’t ever stop posting. We need it more now than ever before while we still wait.
The picture of David in the helicopter pilot’s seat deserves a Pulitzer. It never fails to make me smile even though things have been rough for me lately. Glad you dug that up!
“Trying to diffuse bombs here, bud!” is DA BOMB!!! Love it, TOfan 🙂
Oh yeah, he definitely wins the fan photo Olympics, no doubt about it. ““He helped me reach the hats!” LOL. Do love all these photos of David, heck his smile alone wins the prize and the “diffuse bombs photo” is just the bomb.
…and thanks for making us all smile and for digging up all these photos. 🙂
Ha, I guess Mary Dee and I were posting at the same time, focused on the “diffuse bombs photo”. Do love it. 🙂
Love every one of these fan-photo pictures! The last one has always been one of my favorites. It reminds me of Paula Abdul’s comment that she wanted to squish him, squeeze him, and dangle him from her rear view mirror! 😀. Not only does David glow in these pictures, he causes those around him to light up, also.
hahaha ..how DO you do this?! just keep it coming because it cracks me up & I need the laughs! 😁
I think he told them to scootch on over climbing into that copter. Thanks for the pics! I can’t even with that second-to-last one *skeery*
Tofan, that last picture has got to be one of my absolute favorites. Totally relate to the happy hugger. I mean, how can you resist ????
Bahahaha David wins hands down… Gold medal for sure…. One for you as well Ms. TOfan!! ((((hug))))
It’s David for the win. Full of chuckles. Love this.
But also *Standing O* … you go, David!

And on Instagram:
The perfect .gif for any occasion.
😢😢
Was happy for David reading his heartfelt blog and a little sad for him at the same time. Glad he is finding his own way and doing things his way however, really as it should be. Very honest and brave of him to share his thoughts and feelings, have a lot of respect for that young man. Can only think his future music, in whatever form that will take, will be straight from David and David’s heart
I agree, the perfect gif.
wow…”standing O” is right, TOfan. Huge hug to him.
That blog just, literally, gave me the same chills his music does. None of this is a surprise at all, really…nor that he wrote so honestly, openly, from his heart, to express himself to us; that is ultimately who he’s always shown himself to be. …and yet it totally still blind-sighted me to see this today. Raw. Honest. As a fellow introvert I totally can relate…he explained it all so well. It’s not about being social, as much as how you “recharge” best, in solitude, with personal space.
I’ve always seen him as this type, and can understand how difficult it must have been to manage that inside the fame bubble. The fact that he’s recognized all this, held his ground and worked to change the direction of his life, to live more authentically & happily, at such a young age is impressive.
I cannot even describe the continued admiration, support & respect I feel for David Archuleta. Grateful he shared this. Still here. Always… ready for the music, whenever it comes.
Well said amb4da!!!
Ditto! Standing O for you, too, amb4da! Beautifully put, every word!
I agree!!! Perfectly said…standing O as I type 😊
amb4da……You stated my thoughts perfectly! I think that many of David’s fans are introverts and recognized that quality in him. That was part of the heart to heart connection that we felt. I’m so grateful that he’s communicating with us in this heartfelt, authentic manner. I can’t express how much I admire and respect him.
Seems even more poignant now… although the title may have to change. 🙂
“Good Place”
I don’t know what I’m doing here
How I landed in this space
But it’s a good place
And I don’t wanna mess it up
Make mistakes or say too much
‘Cause it’s a good place
You find it
You hold it
You feel its grace
These are words I wanna say
Every hour of every day
These are words that say how good it feels
To be here with you today
I hope it’s not too late (I hope it’s not too late)
I hope it’s not too late
I’ve been silent up to now
I’ve been going with the flow
Wherever that goes
But something’s screaming down inside
Makes me want to close my eyes
And hear the echo
You find it
You know it
Don’t make it wait
These are words I wanna say
Every hour of every day
These are words that say how good it feels
To be here with you today
I hope it’s not too late
‘Cause I don’t wanna waste another summer
I don’t wanna wait until I fall
I could be a memory tomorrow
I could be nothing at all
I don’t know what I’m doing here
How I landed in this space
But it’s a good place
These are words I wanna say
Every hour of every day
These are words that say how good it feels
To be here with you today
I hope it’s not too late
Oh, yeah
I hope it’s not too late
Oh, boy… Stop that. 🙂
