Touch My Hand? That wasn't even a single lol. Raaandom. TMH is probably vocally easier than Crush and ALTNOY though, or it seems it. Are they doing like a "sing songs by past Idols" for Hollywood week or something? I haven't been keeping up with Idol this year. Not that I'm aware--there were about 1750 songs that were available for Hollywood contestants to sing (the list is floating around the internet somewhere), and some Idols had songs on there. Like, David Cook had Come Back To Me and Time of my Life. Daughtry only had Home. I think Carrie had one or two songs, and Kelly had the most--like 4 or 5. But there were tons of songs available, by random artists too. There were, like, 5 Debbie Gibson songs available to sing. lol. I don't really get their choices.

According to a Guatemalan newspaper, David is preparing two CD's for this year.
Not sure if it's true but that would probably mean a spanish album.

I was trying to read some articles that were in Spanish but my Spanish isn't so good. lol. Oh, and ugh, hurry up David, I want new music. Seems like all the artists I love are releasing this year but not soon enough. lol.

A Spanish album? I kinda think he should just focus on the pop album this year, but it's a good career move. I don't know if I'd buy it though...I wouldn't understand any of it

I don't know if I'd buy it though...I wouldn't understand any of it Even if he were preparing a Spanish album my guess is he'll spend the bulk of his time on the pop album. A Spanish album would probably be a lot of covers, I think. I'd buy it just because I dig his voice. I would understand maybe 20% of it, though. lol.

I usually use Google Translator but that Nuestra Diario article has its own translator. Go to page 31. Then double click page 31 (the page with lots of David pictures). It will open a new window. The new window has a Transducir gadget at the top - press that to translate.
Yeah - maybe he'll finally do a Spanish album.

So, I've gained a major appreciation for Save the Day lately.
IMO it should've replaced Desperate on the album. Same general concept, but uplifting instead of depressing and not as contrived.

I love Save the Day too. It's in my top favorites of songs he's done. I actually think it's one of the best songs he's done. I wish it had been on his US album. It's so disappointing that he can't even sing it in VIPs. I would love to hear David sing that one live. It's perfect for David - so Superman, Mighty Mouse, Dudley Doright. I guess Jive only bought the Japan rights for it or something. www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-bTP9SUAU8

I agree, it's much more mature and meaningful than any song on the debut album actually...not that I don't love the debut album, but it's just great. I really think they left some of his top songs off the album completely (Zero Gravity, Save the Day) and I really don't understand why His debut album was solid and I like it quite a bit, but it could've been INCREDIBLE if some of these songs were included (along with some of the bonus tracks like Works For Me and Waiting for Yesterday)

I don't really like Save the Day but I guess it's slightly better than Desperate. I agree that A&R really messed up by putting good songs as bonus tracks. Especially ZG and WFY.
I can't wait to hear who he's working with when he gets back.

Desperate is the best track on the album imo. No other song shows off the power of David's voice as well. Sure it's dramatic, but it's not depressing precisely because David's vocals are so satisfying. On the other hand, I agree that Jive's selection process for the cd is completely baffling. I will never understand how a crowd-pleaser like Zero Gravity was excluded.

I can't wait to hear who he's working with when he gets back. ESPECIALLY WFY. I hear so many people saying that it's their favorite song of his. I know it's mine. Me too! I'm really happy he got to go on this trip and I'm sure he had a great time, but I'm ready for music stuff. :)

I don't think WFY and Crush could have both been on the main album with their similar day-ay-ay and away-ay-ay parts.
and WTH Walmart Canada...
RT @teamarchie: The debut album of David Archuleta's wasn't released at Walmart Canada in 2008, this is coming from a store manager via
David Archuleta's debut album is finally being released to Walmart in Canada on February 3rd, pic floating around is from Ontario.
Any idea why it would take them THAT LONG to release it? I'm pretty sure Archuleta and Cook's album were released on Amazon Canada in 2008, yet Archie's has only 1 review, Cook's 4.

It was at Walmart Canada in 2008. I remember because people were complaining that it didn't have WFM on it.

EOnline is reporting that David will be involved in the Hope for Haiti telethon airing tomorrow on a bunch of networks. Not sure if he'll be in NY or LA. I guess he's probably gonna be working the phones and maybe do a PSA or something. Pretty cool.

@jambajim (Jim Cantiello of MTV) tweeted Ooh! I see @davidarchie is now involved with MTV's Haiti telethon. Awesome! (I *may* have had something to do with this booking.) (then later, after fans of other Idols spammed him over why their fave wasn't invited) Oh dear. @davidarchie's team reached out to me personally. If any other Idol's followed suit, I would have hooked them up, too. #DeepBreaths (But even Jim doesn't know if David is singing or one of the many celebs manning the phones) Not sure. But it's Archie so he'll probably sing while manning phones regardless. :) RT @archftw Is @davidarchie singing or manning phones? (My guess is just manning the phones because the performing acts are stars like Madonna, Bono, Stevie Wonder, Beyonce, etc. Oh, and BTW - Threadless has a $10 Haiti charity tee - all proceeds up to $100,000 go to the Red Cross for Haiti. www.threadless.com/product/2191/Many_Hands_Make_the_Load_Lighter ) NEW - Jordin said in an interview he would like to duet on TBWY or something with David (though it took her a while to decide): www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH4Pgs2Jzp4question asked at 2:16, she answers at 3:14. and David tweeted that he will be answering phones at the Haiti TV event Hey all, tomorrow I'll be answering phones taking pledges for Hope for Haiti. Tune in, and call in to help how you can!

Beyonce killed it. David should be happy to have witnessed it. Too bad they didn't ask him to sing.

Beyonce was performing in London and David is phone banking in LA. He didn't witness it--unless there was a screen up in LA.

Yea and even in LA, I don't think the phone bank is in the same room as the stage.
but Beyonce was really great.
