Galen, I was fortunate to be able to see Season 7 Idols in Concert. What a joy that was. It doesn’t look like I’ll be going on the tour this year. I’d love to see Siobhan Magnus!

I agree that David gave the best performance on the tour as well, Kariann. For me, though, I would have to say it was Angels. That was my favorite performance of all of Season 7 on Idol, and it didn’t disappoint me on the tour!

Oh, please understand that I love David's performances. Even though I was a huge fan of Jason Castro, it is David Archuleta who gave the best performance on the tour. For me, that was Stand by Me!

Thank you, janey. I’m relieved to know that David will be on the show at some point this season! I’ll have my DVR ready for that for sure!

David Archuleta singing How Great Thou Art, a capella, from a recent Fireside.

My favorite version of “How Great Thou Art” has been Elvis Presley. I am trying to understand what type of singer Elvis was (baritone?) compared to David A. Is there someone who can help me?

I agree, janey, I would love to hear that performance as well. David is doing absolutely amazing and deserves every standing ovation he gets! I wonder when they are going to have him back on Idol?

MCL. i can’t begin to describe how incredible this is. i’ll leave that to you.

time for a short story? last Saturday at Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Richard Parkinson told us (I was in town as were many of David’s fans for his final performance of his sold-out solo tour) that the previous Thursday evening David, with Kendra accompanying him at the piano performed Be Still MY Soul at the Mormon Tabernacle rehearsal. The choir rewarded him with a standing ovation.

Now! what I wouldn’t give to hear that performance!

Janey – i just saw this on the Facebook site earlier this evening. I will follow up with a blog topic tomorrow. It’s beautiful, though, isn’t it? Thanks for sending the link.

Thank you so much, MCL!! I admit I did get confused, so this will make it so much easier for me!

We appreciate all you do with your website, especially the reviews of the performances. I know you have helped many of the singers improve their technique!

I think threading would be cool if everyone used it consistently, but not everyone does, you know? So that led to more confusion.

Thanks for the blockquote explanation. I do know how to do that, but I always have to refresh my memory on it. WordPress should just have it as an option to click! (Are you reading this, wordpress powers-that-be?)

You are most welcome, Galen. Yes, I was really excited about the threading option, as were many of the bloggers here on WordPress.Com.

But, honestly, it was just so confusing and my readers were upset and I can’t have that, can I?

Oh, and thank you for that link! That was very helpful to me!

Thank you MCL for this pleasant change. I must admit that whole “threading” thing was becoming kind of confusing. I guess sometimes something sounds better in theory than in practice, you know?

I appreciate so much you putting all the work you do into this site. It makes talking about Idol fun, inviting, and interesting. Anyway, God bless and thanks again!

Thanks for doing this J! Much appreciated as I am head out the door. THis is a link that might help the others. http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_blockquote.asp

MCL – I just saw your reply comment! Yay! Very cool, I’m glad it worked. I noticed that you were trying to explain how to do so, but the HTML was quite functioning right. I have an idea, but I’m not sure if it’ll show up right. So I just explained above by using square brackets.

By: J

Fri, 03 Apr 2009 22:32:06 +0000

Basically, what MCL is saying is that you use angle brackets around blockquote tags. So, it’s similar to:

[blockquote]Text here[/blockquote]

EXCEPT you use angle brackets instead of square brackets.

J – you did it! Good work! I can’t write out the HTML because WordPress “strips it out”
