I feel amused when Archies complain when people criticize the performance of THIS SONG and requests for the closing of the thread... but they are VERY happy with a poster that talks about random ish related to David such as his succes in Radio Disney, the selling out of his tickets, or posts any random picture of David that can be found in the net... Just a comment I barely posted in this thread. I posted like a few times after that duet (and I posted in the Miley Cyrus thread about it too). But look for my comments before that... yeah, there weren't any. It doesn't matter who posts what and when--people were calling for this thread to be closed a LONG time ago.

Just a comment Whatever, either way this thread should be closed. If threads for songs that are confirmed singles but have no adds date are closed why does a song for a thread that was nothing but a one-time performance on Idol get to stay open? ??? I'm not even going to sit here and weed out all of the replies and argue cause it's a waste of time and most of the points are pretty much BS if you ask me, but I still don't understand why this thread gets to remain open when it's confirmed it's not getting sent to CHR.

I don't call ALTNOY a super flop because it wasn't. WHAT A SMASH... #1????? When? It reached #1 on their countdown, but not on their playlist. It was #1 for like a day or two and then it went all they way down on that countdown. It's not really a super important countdown. Almost 200k for a song that was out months ago? Not really good in my opinion. Everyone who performs on Idol gets a bump on sales, it's not really a huge accomplishment. Also moving on the lower half of the chart is easier. With the sales going down almost every week, there are even ties on the lower chart. A week or two ago there were two albums at #150. I'm not a hate r, i do like this song, and 'Crush' was cool for me too, but some crazy fans are just getting on my nerves And yes, this thread should be closed. This is not a single, it was just performed on Idol.

^Well, I think most of us realize ALTNOY was not a success lol....and I don't think davidprincess is exactly the voice of the fanbase...however I don't think that really warrants people to continue to analyze a performance on American Idol that's 2 weeks old and the general public has forgotten about already like it's the turning point of his career.

Ouch and LOL at the same time. I don't think radio will stop playing David cuz his idol performance wasn't mature enough. They played Crush just fine. ALTNOY failed cuz it didn't fit the current CHR changes. As for Miley being a better singer than David..well let's say that can only happen when he's sick lol. I don't understand why this is so difficult to process. The vocal performance was the LEAST of his problems. The performance was incredibly immature and embarassing. He conducted himself like a child. Nobody who posts in this thread hates David. We all want him to do well. But the performance sucked. Hard. He's done a lot of corny s**t, but that is the first time I actually felt embarassed to be a fan. And I'm a BACKSTREET fan for christ's sake! In 2009! It takes a lot to make me backtrack. He came out there, jumping around awkwardly, with that strained smile plastered on his face, sounding a hot mess. Not only did the performance not help his career, it probably damaged it to some degree. Rather than showing the growth I hoped he would, he came on there and looked like an unsure amatuer singing a song for 8 year olds. I could go on and on about how much I hated that performance. He really blew it. Jive really shouldn't be rushing the 2nd album (obviously to make a quick buck from the tweens). If ANYONE needs time, it's David. He needs to get better. And more mature. If he comes out looking and sounding the way he did on idol, he can forget about getting any mainstream airplay. Or credibility. Or fans over the age of 12. And please. No over defenesive replies. It is just an opinion. Nobody is picking on David, alright? LMAO! But as for the intellectually inept sissies (a.k.a. the disciples of Dr. Jane Medicine Woman's Polynesian cousin, La Comtesse de L'Excuses) who want Mommy to close this thread simply because they find themselves ill-equipped or otherwise unable to cope with a bit of criticism, I have but one piece of advice: Quit your bellyaching and buck up!!

^Actually, I want it closed because it's not a single, and this board is for singles going for adds on CHR, which this is not, so it's pointless to remain open when there's no CHR chart run to discuss (aka the point of this board).
If people really feel the need to analyze a 2-week performance some more, they're free to do so in his artist thread :)

Yep. You want to hide behind the rules and dump this topic and its attendant faults and failures in the graveyard that is his Artist's page. Nobody goes there! Convenient for you.

So this thread should break the rules and stay open just because some people don't want it to? Oh that makes sense! :) Whether people are critisizing him or fangirling over him, this thread is not a CHR single. This board is for tracking the chart run of CHR songs. This song is not going for CHR adds. Therefore, there is no CHR chart run to track. Which means - this thread serves no purpose on this board. And I ignored this thread for most of it's existence so I'm not trying to "bury it into the artist thread".

Every thread closed because there's not an adds date will always have this one to use as precedent. Except forum moderation is not based on justice or fairness, but whatever mood the mod has at that moment. See Paula's new song thread already closed, which is is her new single with a performance on AI. Have I seen a song in a similar position somewhere? Hmm... I just think the mods are amused by all the constant stupidity coming back and forth between 99.9% of the posters on this thread. They know there's no limit for retardation on the "internets". Can't really blame them, can I?

Well, um, as to the edited part/version or addendum, I suppose you mean to add extra emphasis with all the bolding and such? You sound so authoritative, so resolute. Perhaps you've been to Mod school? edit of my own: (becuz I do love you)

More like 'cause some people want it to. Obviously you don't know how this board works, so let me help you. Threads are allowed to stay open if they have either an adds date or are exploding without one. Neither is happening for this song. So, whether this thread is filled with puppies and bunnies and happiness or criticism and arguing and bickering, it shouldn't be here.

Edit (yet another): All needling and joking aside, I see no harm in allowing this trainwreck to play out. It'll die...eventually. Just like the song. :) PS...rules are made to be broken, heh, heh....

YES! Exactly what we needed! Bringing up David Cook! The party is full NOW! haha One question to those criticizing the inaction of the mods. Did you guys bother to send a message to Haley? Well, I just did after reading this mess.
Mods have a tough (unpaid) job checking all threads, too, so it would be better if we help them pointing out stuff that we think is not okay, instead of blatantly criticizing them for their actions or inactions IMO.

I tried being lenient and I even stated that in my first post. If you guys want a thread for David Archuleta again you'll have to run it by me, because apparently that isn't capable of being done without fanwars and so on.
