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!!

Richard Rushfield

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

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!)

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!

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

I am such a fangirl for David Archuleta.

He values his fans and family and friends above all else and his humble, endearing demeanor is a testament to this.

And he sings When You Say You Love Me with so much passion and sincerity – you just know he means those words. His body language alone emphasizes this fact – those arms – it’s like he wants to give everyone one big gigantic hug.

However, that being said, he could truly benefit from private coaching, as this would allow him to focus on areas in his voice that need improvement (from a technical standpoint)

“He is saying that he loves ALL of you, he is so grateful for you all, to the point that he once again, staying true to what he keeps saying in all his interviews, things he can’t even express in words, so he does it through song. And THIS song is so brilliantly chosen, what could be a better way to end his set? This isn’t about him trying to sound like Josh Groban, it’s all about the beautiful song and message. It’s just a coincidence that it happens to be a Josh Groban song. Rather, it’s all about the meaning, emotion and feeling contained within the song.

Do you not see that he is just trying to say, it is all worth it when you say you love “me”. All he is trying to do is return the same to you. “When you say you love ME, do you know how I love YOU? How could it be more perfect??

He already proves what he can do as a pop artist with the other songs. But this one? It is the icing on the cake, it is the symbol of what he is as a person and is the device he chose to wrap up his gift and tie it with a bow all for you his fans….”

I read some of the other posts from this guy and he does seem to have close connection with David. But we can’t confirm that. However, I thought this was so magical and wanted to note it to MSL readers.

I know this is about the third(!) time I’ve mentioned this in the comments sections of your blog, but he never had any formal vocal training prior to Idol. NONE.

So my question is do you think he was simply taught very well during his high school/ college theater participation? Or is he just a natural?

Thanks as always.

MCL…did you see the post on IDF that includes the paragraph of David’s in the tour program…he thnaks his vocal coach…I thought that was touching.
Also…check out Richard Rushfield’s conversation with David about why he is able to focus so completely on his music…also touching.
Love that D is so open with everything…from his interviews to his amazing song interpretations.

I loved his voice, his passion, his relaxed stage demeanor, including those wonderful arm movements toward the audience.

Oh, and by the way, the arms moving out to the side? That’s a neat technical trick to encourage the rib cage to remain erect and elevated, thus fortifying the diaphragmatic breathing skills that he so obviously has down to a science.

However, it also created a dramatic visual moment in this song. No one can deny his talent now – no! one! To do so is simply ludicrous and ridiculously subjective.
