    Nice to hear you are doing ok!! Happy Canada Day to you!!

    Did you hear that they cancelled the idol tour in Toronto. They are having a hard time this year getting tickets sold. I feel bad for the contestants from this year.

    Did you see David on a Capitol 4th he was amazing! (I am biased)

  3. Shuki July 5, 2010 at 9:18 pm

    Well I saw David and he certainly was amazing!

    He also did Stand By Me:

    All that stuff about the tour sucks, I blame the economy more than the Idol contestants this year.
    Siobhan fans, there are a few vids of her performances, not as much as everyone else’s for some reason, but they’ll have to do for now.

    Paint it Black, one is full with a blip in the middle, the other has the very end cut off:

    Short clip, but Siobhan is soooooo amazing singing this song!

  5. Shuki July 6, 2010 at 2:56 am

    Okay, that code works for some places, but not here apparently.

    I have a comment above that’s awaiting moderation, but I did agree with you gemzone and posted some vids of Arichie and Siobhan. I guess it had too many links….

    MCL – Have you heard David Archuleta’s new single “Something ‘Bout Love” yet? I anxiously await your opinion of it whenever you’re up to it. And as you liaten, if you think of “love” as broader than “romance”, it’s even more amazing. Loving anyone in any way is a crazy ride with ups and downs. Well, there’s my two cents. ENJOY the song and I look forward to your review.

    You can hear the song either on YouTube or on David’s official website.

    Thanks for the update, Roseanne. Nice to know that you are enjoying time with the family and resting. Please feel better!!

  9. Louise July 7, 2010 at 9:11 am

    Good to “hear” from you. Hope you continue to take it easy.

  10. Kirsten July 7, 2010 at 3:11 pm

    Just like Louise said, I’m happy to hear that your recovery is going well. Having family and friends around definitely makes it more pleasant. I sent you David Archuleta’s song “Something ‘Bout Love” earlier, but I don’t want you to feel any unnecessary pressure. We fans just want to share our joy with you by posting all these links. Your health is what counts, so keep taking it easy! Best wishes as your recovery continues.

    Thank you so much everyone! I am feeling better and stronger with each passing day, but I have to learn not to push too soon. Summer and sunshine really encourages one to relax and let go and let God.

    I am so glad you’re doing well, Rosanne! I was really worried when I heard about your heart attack, but it’s such a relief to hear that you’re doing much better now.

    I must say that your speaking voice is absolutely beautiful! (Will we ever have the chance to be blessed by your singing?) Your voice has such wonderful warmth, as I always imagined it would. =)

    Thanks for always being a kind, gracious host. God bless you and your heart! ♥
