woo.0ow his album was released on my birthday

Thanks for the great article on David. He is an amazing person and a voice to match. I understand that David will perform “God Bless America” during the 7th inning stretch at the Red Sox/Devil Rays game tonight (10/10), he will be performing in studio at the Today show on 11/11 (date of album release), and he will be on VH1 during their top 20 video count down on 11/15 and many other rumored appearances. Azoff and Jive are doing a wonderful job of promoting David and his new album.

David’s talent couldn’t/cannot be denied. Period. Though it briefly stung when the title American Idol went to another, didn’t something deep down in all of us who watched him from day 1 to that finale just know that he had great things in store for him?

As the days went by, and the emotions started fading, it became clear to me – he was FREE – to begin charting his path in music without the baggage, the added and sometimes unrealistic expectations that are placed on the winners, AND we knew that once away from the Idol stage, he could show the public, for once and for all, that he was no “one trick pony, can only sing ballads guy” – which Crush has done masterfully.

We live in a sometimes overly competitive world, where we try to measure “success” in numbers, charts, stats, money, etc. David is step by step, day by day redefining what “winning” is, and what “success” can be.

We picked a true winner Team Archie! We were there standing by him when it seemed the whole world was trying to turn against him, we stood by him, believing in him when the media and critics tried to tear him down. We have overcome a lot of adversity, and as a result, it made us stronger as a team, and bonded all us Archies together in our unwavering support for him – and it shows no sign of letting up.

We’ve all come thru the fire stronger, more committed than ever to support this incredible, amazing, sweet, humble, uber gifted young man from Utah…. and I’d do it all again – this is David Archuleta, and he’s worth it.

Great article…probably the best I’ve read lately regarding David. I agree with the comments regarding David’s father, Jeff. I believe that Jeff has had David’s best interest at heart from the beginning.

Wonderful article on David. I am so excited to see David’s career unfolds before our eyes. I hope he keeps true to himself, because that is who we love and support. I can’t wait for his cd to come out.

So wonderful to hear from a journalist who appreciates David Archuleta’s pure talent. He did, indeed, deserve to win the AI/Season 7 title as millions of supporters agree. The fact remains, though, that being runner up will not deter this remarkable young man from going on to super stardom. He is not looking back, nor should we. There is so much in store for David and I cannot wait to just sit back and watch his brilliant career unfold!
….GO DAVID!!!!!!!
