Part of Jason’s Over the Rainbow–he doesn’t miss a beat when the roadie strolls up and fixes the connection to his uke in mid-song!

… I am guessing his single should be out by the time tour hits your area. And I am guessing he will be performing the single on tour. I just hope WYSYLM will not be nixed if that’s the case.

Have you heard anything about David’s single release? I have been wondering a long time why it isn’t out yet. I thought AI would want to have it for sale at the summer concerts. Any info?? I’m so excited!!

MCL, I enjoyed your critique of David’s When You Say You Love Me. I wonder how he can perform so well with all that screaming! It must be so exciting for a teenager to be on that huge stage. I can’t wait to see him live! I loved all his performances. In this version of Angels, I detect a gospel feeling which totally suits the song. Loved all the walking, hand movements, and then the dancing, oh my gosh! What a star!!!

sheebla, could you tell me where you saw the Richard Rushfield conversation with David? I can’t find it.

I was SOOO blown away when I saw that video this morning–remember “Michelle”? He knows how to move now! Not to mention the vocal growth you noted.

As to CDs, he’s said that he hasn’t been speaking to any labels–of course, until 19E either releases him or their 3-month “hold” period runs out, he can’t–but plans to put out a CD in Winter/Spring, woo hoo!

(And, yes, please!)

Rereader – who is that charismatic young performer and what did he do with the poor, frightened Jason we watched during the AI season?

Oh my goodness! Can this kid sing or what?! I can actually hear some vibrato coming through his voice. His voice sounds so rich and pure – all at the same time.

And his falsetto and ad lib moments were outstanding. As outstanding as the growing star power of this very talented, very genuine young man.

So, which label gets to sign him, because he most definitely should be recording a CD in the Fall.

Speaking of which, I better have a listen to the CD you mailed to me – plus I have some mailing to do myself!

I was just pointed to this video of Jason singing “Daydream” in Glendale (the very beginnin is cut off but the rest is there)…

Thanks, be888. If the single is out by then and he sings it, I will be ecstatic. If he sings WYSYLM, I’ll be ecstatic.

Heck, David Archuleta is alive and singing for audiences and I know about it and can access his performances, so I am ecstatic.

Lathylmh, I wish you luck. I am guessing his single should be out by the time tour hits your area. And I am guessing he will be performing the single on tour. I just hope WYSYLM will not be nixed if that’s the case.
