Why Season 7 Was the Best Season Ever (refs to both Davids) idolwild2010.wordpress.com/2010/04/01/top-9-analysis/And Eman and Hodges were teasing each other and fans. Eman said: # Hey all u @davidarchie fans...@hodgesmusic DOES NOT GIVE 2 $HIT$ about U!!! TRUST ME!!!! # Hey twitterverse good luck following @hodgesmusic...we'll see how many @davidarchie updates you'll get from him... Hodges said: @davidarchie fans, @emanuelkiriakou replaced him with an adorable look alike robot and has the real Archie locked in his basement!

That would be nice rince! David visited some relatives. And asked people to pray for his cousin also named David who was in a bad car accident and was headed to surgery. And Popstar Magazine got their advance uncorrected copy of Chords of Strength . twitpic.com/1c6akv

Bubble tweet from Claude and Eman (I am thinking single!) bbltwt.com/p3mqvAnd then Eman said: # If tweeting about @davidarchie is going to lose me followers than I'm done...it's been nice guys..thanks for the memories..I'm out 6 minutes ago via web But then he tweeted again about brussel sprouts (his other recent topic)

Thurs.. DavidArchie: Got to hang out with @ladyvmusic and had some hot chocolate! Fun times. Went to H&M too.
LadyVMusic: @davidarchie is currently burning my hair! Haha :)
she's on the west coast now??
Friday... and today David said he's beginning to lose the ability to remember names, then he messed up his back and hips running, and he visited a chiropractor. No tweets since that.
Saturday: And wow I am getting ANTSY! No idea what David is doing today. Is this the calm before the storm of new stuff??
And a true comment from someone on Youtube "With every mediocre performance on this year's show, David's star rises."
I am really enjoying this because this time 2 years ago the news was just starting to fill with stage dad stories, the start of a wave that would eventually obliterate all good press for David and then taint it for months after. Nice to see him get good buzz this year.
Sunday - Boy I hope his buzz can stay at least at this level until something is released. Nice to see news mentions, questions of Yahoo Answers, etc.

One more nod to David's voice - Boston Herald: Season nine’s performances are either a bore or ear-splitters. Barnstable belter Siobhan Magnus might make the top three, but for the love of David Archuleta, will she stop ending each song like she’s trying out for the lead in “Saw XII”?

New day... Article about the making of David Archuleta and the Yellow M&M blog.kinetopictures.com/the-perfect-duet-archuleta-mms/and re Seacrest calling Aaron "David Archuleta"... EW: Word of warning to Seacrest, however — you might want to quit with the David Archuleta comparisons. I know I was on Team Cook in season 7, but if we're comparing vocal firepower here, Archie owns Aaron like Oprah Winfrey owns, well, everything. MTV (Jim): My favorite moment was when Ryan Seacrest called Aaron "David Archuleta." The name is Countryleta, Seacrest, and you're not allowed to call him that until he stops singing like a wheezing goat! Don't you dare soil the name of ArchuAwesome! Idolator: So, Ryan calls Aaron “David Archuleta” while giving out his Idol digits, but it’s an unfair comparison: Archie always had extremely polished vocals (don’t tell us you don’t still get the shakes when you hear his gorgeous take on “Imagine”), and Aaron has yet to convince us he’s anything more than a high school talent show performer.

Eman also said somebody DID guess the title of that one song correctly but he is not saying who. I like him. EDIT - David is back in LA and was hanging out with Charice, her brother and David Hernandez. And in the category of I don't think so - tonight after Aaron sang on Idol, Ryan said "If you want to vote for David Archuleta here, the number is..." www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O3l0Fegrio

I don't know if that means _ _ _ _ _ n _ _ _ _ _ s (since this ______ would not show up well) I guessed things like Finding Words, etc. Yeah Eman is fun as always. New Vlog from Eman's - David seems excited about the song www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RKsaNDBlPMBTW - Think we can hope David will be a guest on next week's Teen Idol theme results night? I would love that.

It's interesting ready about the backstage switches and changes involving Imagine. I am really happy David pushed for what he wanted because his Imagine on Idol was exactly when most Idol-watching fans got hooked on him. It's also the the main performance that articles point back at, including Best of Idol type articles.
BTW - the Making of Somos el Mundo special will not be until the 21st.

DavidArchie: Finished writing and putting down vocals for today's song! Now off to a meeting. And somebody said David was on ABC? Ahhh "OMG!! David was just on EXTRA for Somon El Mundo!!!!! They showed one of his singing parts!!!! Woooohooo!" And a nice mention from Michael Orland, assoc. musical director of Idol: "Michael Orland, American Idol's associate music director, told USA TODAY's Bill Keveney that this year's Top 12 has less experience than some recent ones, which is one reason not to make a judgment too quickly about the group. "The last couple of years, with David Cook and David Archuleta, and then last year with Adam (Lambert), Kris (Allen) and Alison (Iraheta), those two years were filled with people coming in going, 'Hey, here's what I want to do. Here's the part of the song I want to do. Here's how I want to start.' Those people knew who they were already. These people are just exploring it," he said on the blue carpet Thursday at Idol's Top 12 party." content.usatoday.com/communities/idolchatter/post/2010/03/michael-orland-debra-byrd-talk-season-9-singers/1And here's an old quote from Michael: "The show wasn't easy for him, but he made it look easy" Said Michael Orland, musical director of AI. "He came as a genius and left as a genius. All the contestants wanted to reach his level" NEW: ImChrisRich: @davidarchie think its about time we get into the studio... twitter.com/ImChrisRich

Yes - Mix it up. Have a variety. On the first album, his ballads were all serious and the rest was fairly intense, except maybe YEDL's verses.
DavidArchie: Have yet another writing session today. Working with Danny Orton, and then also back with Jen Schott and Joy. Should be good. 4 minutes ago via txt

I would like David to have some songs that are not big and powerful. An occasional complaint from reviewers and non-fans attending concerts is that everything he does sounds the same. Live, part of that is the band's fault. Jerry on drums and Dave on bass was a bad combo - every set would devolve into a roadhouse rock sound full of snares and distorted bass and David singing as loud as he could. Just takes all of the finesse out of it. He shouldn't have to accompany himself to get a different sound. I want to hear some songs like the kind David himself chooses as covers. Bubbly, I'll Be and One are my three favorites of those though he also got a lot of mileage out of Thousand Miles. Bubbly was playful and flirted with sensuality. I'll Be and One were songs that gave him some room to do what he wanted with his voice. One www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mdZdsBOxVEI'll Be www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCs2yVk6SQwBubbly www.youtube.com/watch?v=iz5LspR1ixwI think the last thing he should do is all big songs with big climaxes aka American Idol Syndrome

Today -
JoyWilliams: About to start writing today with Jamie Kenney, Jenn Schott and @davidarchie. Cheers to another tune!
(and referring to his busy day ahead) Mach1Music (Eddie Galen): And can't forget writing session for Karina Pasian and another for @davidarchie
Brian_Mansfield: @joywilliams Happy happy joy, Joy! Would also love to hear what you guys are up to this week with David.
And David is getting a lot of favorable mentions in the press in comparisons to this year's Idols. Slezak has referred to David nicely twice recently, and here's Billboard.com's mention: "1) Katie Stevens: "Breakaway" by Kelly Clarkson Poor Katie Stevens. It was pitchy and you could tell she was just trying so hard to nail it. It's hard being set up as the golden child and then just not quite have the stuff to match up to it. And after listening to the judges' comments last week to go younger, you can tell she is floundering. She keeps thinking she's doing the right thing, but she's just not. I wish they would actually raise the age limit a bit to allow people to develop a little more -- for every Jordin Sparks or David Archuleta, there's 1,000 Katie Stevens."
