Archuleta in Manila

David will sing songs from his latestalbum, The Other Side of Down
| Zoom

MANILA, Philippines - David’s show is presented by Ovation Productions, etc, 2nd Avenue, Talk TV, Diva David Archuleta’s Twitter description, “I’m David. I like music.” is probably the understatement of the century.

As a boy, David says it was Les Miserables that inspired him to begin singing. Some 10 years later, stilljust a boy, he took his singing hobby to the hilt and captivated audiences the world over when he, then at 16, took theAmerican Idol stage and gave his all — landing the runner-up spot in Season 7.

Later the same year, he released a self-titled studio album which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard charts, kicking off with the hit single Crush. This was followed by 2009’s Christmas from the Heart.

Now 20, David is all grown up, not just as a young man but especially as a musician — and he is coming halfway around the world to prove just how much so.

The balladeer is ready to hit Philippine shores once more for a one-night only solo concert on July 18, 8 p.m. at the Araneta Coliseum.

He will be sharing his first love to the Philippines for the third time, after two previous visits in 2009 and 2010. Get ready to hear David’s new songs from his latest album, The Other Side of Down, including the hits Something Bout Love, Elevator and Falling Stars.

David’s show is presented by Ovation Productions, etc, 2nd Avenue, Talk TV, Diva, Basketball TV, Solar, Jack TV, The Philippine Star,Business World, EDSA Shangri-La, Home Radio 97.9, Mellow 94.7, RX 93.1, RJ 100.3 and Optima Sign Solutions. Tickets are available at P4,500, P4,000, P3,500, P2,500, P1,500 and P500. For details, call 911-5555.

David knows what he wants. ;)

Finally!! Thanks to @Becca_Cali, finallllllyyyy got the link to watch the Manila Press Conference Interview that was in last November.

David Archuleta @ PressCon, MNL PromoTour (17 Nov 2010)



This, this is one of the reasons why we should NOT be worried about our lovely David.
He knows what he wants.
He says that here among all the other mature and inspiring things that he always says.
This interview touched my heart on so many levels, I don't even have words so explain how I freaking love this kid! ^-^

I advise you, if you are worried, watch this. Yup. It's over 15 minutes long, but it's David talking the whole time. :D
And if you are not worried, watch it anyway.
It's amazing to watch how David is turning into the young man we all knew he would ^-^

Oh and David? YOU'RE PRETTTTY COOL. Just saying. ;)

Right On Chatter! Right! ON! ^-^

We Haven’t Heard The Last From David Archuleta

Fans have been tweeting David Archuleta words of encouragement this evening at a dizzying pace.

So I guess it’s true. The guy who was the runnerup in season seven of Idol, who appeared to be the judges’ favorite throughout that season, is no longer a member of the Jive record label, having been released or dropped.

I figured that if I waited until this evening to address the issue in a blog, one of David’s hometown papers in the Salt Lake area would surely have gotten to the bottom of the matter.

They haven’t. So we’re left to draw deductions from a couple of tweets from his former management team and the unnamed source who told Hollywood Reporter on Friday that “David was released from our roster.”

It caps a strange couple of months for the former Idol finalist, who has one of the most devoted fan bases you’ll ever find.

On one hand, David’s been featured at a number of high-profile events, appearing on NBC’s Skate for Heart in mid-January, starring on FOX’s New Years Eve Live, and performing in front of thousands at the Children’s Medical Center Holiday Parade in Dallas in early December.

And when Billboard asked folks to vote for their favorite album of 2010, those loyal David Archie fans made his “The Other Side of Down” number one. That’s right, number one. In front of Eminem’s “Recovery,” Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now,” Taylor Swift’s “Speak Now” and all the rest.

Ah, but online votes are not CD sales, and if the numbers I’m reading everywhere are correct, “The Other Side” has sold a paltry 63,000 copies. And I kept checking David’s website for news of a tour to support the album. It never materialized.

In contrast, his debut album was certified gold in a matter of months; and the Christmas album David released in the fall of 2009 was well received, selling nearly 250,000 copies according to one source I saw.

To my ears, “The Other Side of Down” is David’s best album yet. But it was also released to a fickle public enraptured by new pop sensations like Justin Bieber and Kei$ha. And it was released in the highly competitive period right before the holiday shopping season, when lots of artists are rushing new music to fans.

True to form, David seems to be taking the latest development in stride. And remaining upbeat.

I’ve interviewed the guy twice about upcoming concerts in this area. He always comes across as humble and gracious.


And he might not have a record contract with Jive, but he still has that voice. More than one of this year’s Idol contestants cited his performance of “Imagine” as their favorite Idol moment ever.

Since Friday, David has sent out tweets thanking fans for their support, to let them know that “I am excited for the opportunities ahead” and that “things are going where I feel they should.”

I’m sure we’ll find out where that is in a matter of time. Given that voice, I have no doubt we’ll be hearing more from David.

Why thank you Idol Chatter!

^-^ Yup. He will be singing from the roof tops....once he gets off that Elevator. ;)

The Power of Perseverance: Interview with David Archuleta On His Book and Music

Dreamerent.com interviewed David about his book, Chords of Strength and his newest album, The Other Side of Down. The video and audio can't be embeddedon here, but they were nice enough to include written versions of the interviews as well, so here they are:

David On Writing His Book Chords of Strength

“It was something that I never thought I’d ever do because I just didn’t think I was capable of doing it… But I guess that’s kind of the theme of my life and it’s actually kind of the things I talk about in the book, just about going for things that you don’t think you’re able to do, you don’t think you’re good enough or ready for yet, but it’s about taking the chance when you’re given that opportunity and it’s amazing what could be the outcome of it.
“It’s been a really wonderful experience hearing the positive feedback from people on it and seeing how it’s been helpful to people who have read it. That was really the goal of it just being able to help by sharing experiences that I have had and hoping that it will be helpful to people when they read it – I’m really happy with the way it’s turned out.”

David On Making His Recent Album The Other Side of Down

“I just wanted to show more of me and show more of the things that I believed in… allow people to relate to me more, kind of see my personality more in the songs.”
