I don't think the video was amazing but I think it was fitting enough for the song and it looked nice visually. I was glad they didn't try to do some contrived plotline with him and a girl like I thought they were going to do after reading the casting call. My expectations were low so I was pleased with the outcome. David's videos are nothing more than something for his fans to spaz over anyway really so it doesn't matter much lol.

Well, it worked, because as a non-fan, I had a warm smile on my face pretty much during it's entirety.

lol... It's like people are planning a thesis around this video.
It actually fits exactly what David said the song was about, so it's not really "loosely" based on the song.
David's not a video artist, he's a vocal artist. This is a light, visually-pleasing video for people to look at. Another way to listen to the song. It's not anything more than that. lol.
So some people don't care for it. Eh. Doesn't matter. But it really doesn't take much imagination to "get" why others would.

Also, save the video artist vs vocal artist. Worst argument ever. He's a pop star. Videos are expected from pop stars and they should at least look like there was an effort made.

^^ Dude, it's not that serious. In any event, I'll just end this with the fact that I disagree entirely with your last two posts. Have a nice day.

I cant at some people's over-analysis of the video.
Anyway, I was hoping for another scene - like him performing on an improvised stage with a band while the others are dancing to the song on the streets.

^^ That would have been a cool scene. Maybe they were limited by time - they only had 1 day to film.

He's just singing that there's "something about love" by himself. With couples practically everywhere. They should have added him a love interest. Strange. Something to think about...

I'm kinda glad they didn't, although it would've been cool if at the end he walked out with a girl or something. like "lolz im gettin my somethin bout love too ;)"

Some people have entirely too much time.....................!
I may creep myself out saying this but he looks kinda hot here. Seriously kinda sexy. Nobody will say it so I will. Are you guys chastity types or something, lol? Hey, I'm not even a huge fan, and I see it. What happened? He looks hipper and actually cool. Woah. Great video for getting that accomplished even if the rest is a little nonsensical. I wonder how the girls will react and his gay fanbase? Positively I think.

TCA press interview - he's asked about the album first and he talks a bit about his personality and the album and single. This interview got a decent amount of press, mainly because he called himself a dork and for his views on Idol's future.

I think this is one of his best National Anthems ever! Also I really like the subtle messages in the Something 'Bout Love music video.

I agree, the vid makes me wanna do him. ;) They got rid of most of the "awkward innocent shy boy" look from his previous efforts.

Nice that he's doing concerts--but that's not what's important. If this song fails, there won't be much interest in the album and his career will falter. My hope is that it catches fire--but it seems to be off to a sluggish start.

My hope is that it catches fire--but it seems to be off to a sluggish start. Well, most of the "concerts" and appearances he has coming up are radio promotional performances. The point of those is to increase radio airplay. There's really only a few non-radio appearances in comparison.

It hasn't really had any promotion outside web news articles, tweets and little Google ads.
DavidArchie: Been finishing up one of the last songs for the album.

Haha - what a mindset-switch this will be for David ----------------- Christmas comes early with PBS!
Méav is delighted to announce that she will be performing in a new Christmas TV special for PBS. The concert reunites Méav with her former Celtic Woman colleague Orla Fallon, who is presenting this collection of Christmas classics. Orla’s other guest for the evening is the gifted young singer David Archuleta of American Idol fame. The TV special will be filmed in the Polk Theater, Nashville, Tennessee on September 2nd at 7pm. If you would like to be part of the invited audience for this private performance, there are limited free tickets available. Please email bbarr@elevationgrp.com to send an email request with your name, mailing address and phone number before August 25th. Please state on the request that you are coming as a guest of Méav.

Official album cover. I liked the unofficial one better. The typography on this one is SO lazy.

I actually thought the unofficial cover's typography had way too much negative space in the sidebar, thus ruining the flow. This has a lot more flow.

The video is incredibly generic--it does nothing for the song. There was nothing compelling me to keep watching, except I didn't want to be one of those people that judged it after 45 seconds. That makes three "meh's" in a row: the song, the video, the album cover. Oh, and David.

I have no problem with the text, unofficial or official version.
