Since this post is about David Archuleta, I have a feelin it's gonna be long... What's not to love about David? He is so dang adorable!! He recently released a new album titled "The Other Side of Down", and it is wicked awesome! His voice sounds so much more mature in every song he sings on the album. And you can tell he had more say in the writing process, because the songs sound so much more natural for him. There's one song called "Complain", and I just simply cannot get enough of it! It's a very well written song, with a very good message. Part of the chorus goes "Cuz I don't always get everything I want, it doesn't turn out just the way I thought it all should be, baby I can't complain. No more wasting my time looking in the mirror, wishing my life was a little bit clearer, no way, baby I can't complain." And I think that boy is just the most wonderful role model a person could ever even dream of. He's so sweet, innocent, caring, and thoughtful and, in my opinion, really just the best role model in the history of role models! I don't understand why all these kids and teens these days are looking up to celebrities like Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus, and Taylor Momsen. They are the exact opposite of what a real, true role model should be, whereas Archie is the perfect role model. Have I said that enough yet? Haha.
But back to his album. Just about every song on the album just has a really uplifting and positive message. Especially "Things Are Gonna Get Better". And the title track. But, as you would expect with a teenage pop album, there are a couple of break-up songs, "Stomping The Roses" and "Falling Stars". If you're a first time listener of the album, I recommend checkin out "Elevator". That song rocks! From the very first line, you can tell what the song is about; "I had a dream last night I didn't know which floor to get off on, hey yeah." It is simply about a dream he had the night before the writing session where this song was born. It's amazing how he can turn something so simple as a dream into a spectacularly wicked awesome song! That's just how talented he is :)
And even when you meet him in person, he is just as sweet as he is on TV and online. I've met him three times now, and every time he's been so polite and sweet to me and all the other fans. He really does care about and love his fans! Here's some pictures from the three times I've met him:
First time :) May 27th 2009 at a charity event :)

Second time :) This is from his concert on July 29th 2009 :) :)
Third time :) This is from a private concert on October 1st 2010 :) :) :)
And like I said, every time he was so sweet. It seems like he got sweeter and sweeter every time I've met him too haha.
I heard David say himself that he's going out on tour again to promote TOSOD, but here lately I've been hearing lots of rumors that there is no tour. That has to be a lie, because yesterday I read on Twitter where some big shot place (can't remember the name, sorry!) said that David would not be able to make an appearance at their event because he would be on tour in Asia! So at least we know for sure that he will be touring in Asia. But what about the USA? I as well as many many other ArchAngels want tour dates!!! Right now!! Please? Haha. So at least there's hope, we know that those rumors of no tour are completely FALSE!
And when it comes to dancing, we've all heard David say that he can't dance, that he's a horrible dancer. Well, we have video proof that he's lying! I know you've all seen the video from the Mentor's Gala where he and his mom Lupe' do a wonderful Salsa dance :) And if for some strange reason you haven't seen it, boy you sure are missin out on some major awesomeness! That boy has great rhythm, but I don't think he should swing his hips so much, he's gonna give us all a heart attack! I'm not gonna lie, (I'm actually proud to say this) I squealed my head off when I first saw it!! I hope we will see him on "Dancing With The Stars" soon, cause he certainly would win the competition hands down.
I think it is such a miracle that he is even able to sing now, considering he had vocal paralysis when he was 13. I guess that number really is unlucky, huh? I am so glad that God healed David so he could bless us with his amazing talent. My friend's say I have "ODD, Obsessive David Disorder", and I'm proud to admit it and own it! I will forever be a huge fan of David's, forever and always. His talent is just... undescribable!
David, I hope you know how much I, and all the other fans around the world, love you and support you, and I hope you never ever EVER change your sweet and caring ways as you grow, not only as person, but as a musician as well.
WE LOVE YOU DAVID JAMES ARCHULETA!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
