David Archuleta
“One of the biggest songs of the year for me was definitely ‘I’m Yours’ by Jason Mraz … you gotta love that song. I mean, who doesn’t? If you don’t there’s something wrong going on. It’s an awesome song.

“Some of the big albums for me were We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things by Jason Mraz, Where The Light Is, the live album by John Mayer, Pocket Full Of Sunshine, Natasha Bedingfield — that’s a good one. I really liked Fearless by Taylor Swift, that’s an awesome album. I like, uh, Sara Bareilles’ one, but I don’t know if that came out this year or last year. I don’t know which ones came out when.”

The LA Times lists the top ten moments that shoock American Idol this year:

6. The emergence of Archuleta
For seven years the tween vote was the sleeping giant of “Idol” demographics — whose backing could send even contestants such as Kevin “Chicken Little” Covais to the upper reaches of Idoldom. But never had America’s 11-year-olds had a real contender to root for. And when The Chosen One appeared a shriek was ignited that left Idol Nation’s collective eardrum, bruised and vibrating for months to come.

4. Jeff Archuleta controversy
Of the many micro-scandals that broke in Season 7, as they do in each season, perhaps the one with greatest toxic potential were the allegations that David Archuleta’s father had been banned from the back stage area because of overzealous stage dad behavior. In itself, the controversy never came to much, but it touched on a third rail at the heart of Idoldom — the issue of underage performers on the show — and thus drew responses from the producers more alarmed and protective than the typical “Idol” scandalet.

1. The Finals
The first finals upset win in “Idol” history. At the end of the last performance show, Simon declared the night a “knockout” for David Archuleta. The coronation of the Chosen One was a done deal. And then the shocking announcement that condemned millions of tween girls to years of psychotherapy. The victory, however, gave “Idol” its most original, unique champion in its history and one whose rocker creds have the potential to give a powerful boost to the franchise as it enters its eighth season.

Ten Best-Mannered List of 2008 Led by Olympic Swimmer Michael Phelps
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, who has been commended for being a role model to young people, heads the list of the “Ten Best-Mannered People of 2008,” as named by the National League of Junior Cotillions, an etiquette and social training program that involves thousands of young people in the United States.

Says Anne Colvin Winters, NLJC Executive Director, “The annual selections are based on the demonstration of honor, dignity and respect. Michael Phelps was chosen because of the exemplary manner in which he conducted himself at the 2008 Olympic games in Beijing, China.”

The 2008 list includes:
1. Michael Phelps - for being a positive example for young athletes.
2. The Jonas Brothers - for their strong commitment to personal values.
3. Carrie Underwood - for the courtesy she shows to her fans.
4. Eli Manning - for displaying good sportsmanship on and off the field.
5. Will Smith - for setting high standards of excellence as an actor.
6. Paula Dean - because of her charming and friendly manner.
7. David Archuleta - for his example of humility and politeness.
8. Meredith Vieira - for the warmth and kindness she extends to “Today Show” guests.
9. Phil Mickelson - for exhibiting grace in defeat and graciousness in victory.
10. Josh Groban - for inspiring young people with his music and his manners.

Cotillion students and directors nationwide nominate individuals for the “Ten Best Mannered People” award.

Fun at the Pier

Recently, I got to go to the Jason Mraz concert at the Greek Theater! I had tickets for the concert he had in Utah, but I ended up not being able to go because I had more promotion things to do. I’m glad I was eventually able to go, though. It was my first time ever seeing him perform live, and he was amazing! He interacts with the crowd really well, and I like how he involves them. He’s always experimenting doing different things with his songs and is just amazing at improv. On some of the songs, he had some gospel singers come and perform with him, and I loooved it. I really liked when he performed “A Beautiful Mess” too, which is an awesome ballad. Jason Castro came along to watch the concert too, and that was fun. He seemed like he had a good time, haha.

Something else I did was I went to the Santa Monica Pier, and that was cold, but fun. I went on the Ferris wheel, and the lady before me in line paid for my ticket, haha. I thought that was really cool of her to do. So the Ferris wheel was nice. I also went to the little aquarium place they have there, and they have a few small tanks and a touch tank. Sea cucumbers feel a little weird, haha. But anyway, that’s all I’ll say for today.

TTYL,
David

David Archuleta will be stopping by Camp Buzzworthy this Tuesday, November 11 — the same day as the release of his highly anticipated debut album AND his live performance on TRL — and I’m turning over the interview to his Buzzworthy fans!

Post your Archu-questions in the Archu-comments, and I’ll do my best to ask them when I interview him!

If you wanna know how he manages to cram so much adorability into one human being, or who he’s got a “Crush” on, or what Jason Castro’s hair looks like in person, this could be your chance!

Hey everyone, I just thought we should take the time to congratulate Obama & Biden on their history-making victory! It was just officially announced that Barack Obama is the new President of the United States!

Please be supportive! No matter who you were voting for, you shouldn’t disrespect either of the candidates.

Promo Wrap Up and Family Reunion

Hey alllll. Just wanted to let you know that I’m finished with the radio promotion stuff and it was soooo much fun. We went to San Diego, Seattle, Milwaukee, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, Atlanta, Albany, New Haven, Hartford, Worcester, Boston, and Providence. It was cool revisiting some of the cities we went to during tour, and getting a better feel of different places. Oh and the Autumn colors in the East were amazing! I tried taking pictures but they’re all horrible haha. It looks a lot better in person anyway.

So what I wanted to share today was my time in Atlanta, because I have relatives in the lovely area. What’s great is that I had some time off during the promotion tour, and it just so happened to be in Atlanta! So as soon as I got there I called them up. My cousin was at work at a shoe store haha, so I wanted to go surprise her while she was working. My aunt, uncle, and other cousin came to pick me to head down there, and it was fun to see them again. They all came to the video shoot for “Crush” since it was filmed in Georgia, and that was when we last had a little reunion. But anyway, It was fun to see my cousin’s reaction when we came in because she wasn’t expecting us haha. So we took pictures with all the shoes and with the people she worked with, and then went out to hang out. We went to this cool place to eat called the ESPN Zone, and they had this HUGE screen to watch sports on. They also had an arcade above the eating area, and we messed around a little up there.
Another person I got to see while I was down there was Alexandrea Lushington! I haven’t seen her since… February? And it was great to see her and her family again. She got to meet my relatives and we all had a really good time. (I have some pictures too so check out my photos.)

Oh I wanted to mention another thing. Since I’m back in California, we’ve started band rehearsals! The band is awwesooomme and are really cool guys. So while I’m here that’s what I’ll be doing. I wasn’t sure what to expect at first, but now I’m really pumped haha. But anyway I better get going here and I’ll talk to you guys later!

P.S. While I was in Hartford, I made a quick appearance at the Boo Bash there which Jordin was at too! It was so good to see her again and we had a fun time just hanging out backstage. So I wanted to share one of my favorite songs on her album for today. So the song for today is Permanent Monday - Jordin Sparks. If you haven’t heard it yet, she puts soo much feeling when she sings. You can really feel it in this song, and it allows a lot of emotion into it.
