    MJ, while you were out the “Crush” video leaked! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgSbiOr0y3A

  • abbysee

    Dammit, I was gonna post that! LOL! It’s a cute video. Perfect for the song. The camera loves that kid. He’s a natural. Who’da thunk it?

  • Suzanne

    Thanks for the link, Desii. I’m really surprised by how much I like it. You’re right, abbysee, the camera just loves him. The only part that brought me out of the story was the piano on the pier. I mean, is it me? Piano in the living room, guitar outside?? But I nit pik–it’s a gorgeous video, with a cute story, in a beautiful place, and I wish I were there.

    Hmmmm…thought this thread was about a Providence, RI, concert? :confused_wp:

    Can’t wait to hear your report from tonight, MJ! :smile_wp:

  • MagazineFreak

    Did I hear right that Mavid was the boys pouring soda on themselves? I’m waiting for a tweet from MJ!

  • gerreb

    i was surprised at now much i liked the video too….not the cheesefest i thought it would be. The girl who played his Crush did a great job….and yes, the camera loves him. It was a very age-appropriate video for him. Great job Archie!

  • Jolene

    Did I hear right that Mavid was the boys pouring soda on themselves?

    LMAO! Need video now!
    Also… I cannot wait to see what they’ll do in Tulsa. Has to be epic.

    PS – I wasn’t sure if this was the right thread either, Gwen! LOL

  • MagazineFreak

    Update from MJ is that the boys toasted themselves then smashed the glasses. So I guess they got wet, but didn’t pour soda on themselves. Need video now!

  • abbysee

    ‘But in the meantime, talk amongst yourselves.’

    Just filling the gap until the concert tidbits started drifting in. I mean Archie is still touring with MJ and Cook right? LOL!

  • FolkFan

    I’m loving the twitter updates from MJ. Sounds like a great show, and it sounds like she got lots of videos.

  • gerreb

    I mean Archie is still touring with MJ and Cook right? LOL!

    Umm….i’m pretty sure he is. LOL.

  • desii

    i can’t wait for pictures and video :]

  • Jolene

    The Twitter updates are great. Gives a real sense of live updates and being up to the minute on what’s going on. Great addition to the blog, in my eyes.

    I got all excited thinking the Mavidance consisted of wet David and Michael, but I guess that would’ve been a little too risque for an all family show.

  • Jolene

    well, ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m sorry. i thought she said to talk amongst ourselves.

    I took it to mean – talk amongst yourselves about the topic of this thread… But maybe I was mistaken.
    mj will clear it up when she gets back.
    Congrats on Archie’s video, BTW.

  • iamislove

    MJ said she would be home in an hour. If she does post any vids/pics props to you MJ for stamina!

    Twitter is actually fairly useful, but I’d like it to have an IM feature. I guess they took it down for compatability reasons.

    In case anyone’s interested the link to the “Crush” vid was posted in the headlines thread too.

    Perhaps. :laugh_tb: But, I imagine not much can be too risque with David wearing a black jacket.

    I honestly cannot imagine what they’ll do in Tulsa. Very unpredictable.

    I’m also hearing that there was a MJ/Jason jig of sorts, and something happened with DC, Archie, and a stuffed rabbit. Hehe.

  • AInoob

    Stuffed rabbit? Aww, man, if they were going to used stuffed props, why not Charlie the Unicorn? :lol_tb:

  • smartcookie

    So few shows left! So few Mavids! (I may cry.)

    Thanks for the news on tonight’s Mavid. Toasting and smashing sounds pretty fun!

  • gerreb

    i am getting very sad that the tour is coming to a close….what am I going to do to fill the american idol tour gap in my life?? lol

  • IGetCranked

    Whoohoo! The Mavid and the Arvid sound like so much fun!!! …… (though a stuffed rabbit could be a little skeery)

    MJ, I’m so glad that you got to see some fun stuff since the last concert you attended was during the time when Mavid was cut off.

    I can’t wait to hear how the crowd was!

  • iamislove

    i am getting very sad that the tour is coming to a closeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦.what am I going to do to fill the american idol tour gap in my life??

    Great question. If there is one thing you could do that is fun and would totally satisfy you, what would it be?

    I’m actually looking forward to it being over in a way. I can get over this crazy addiciton and get back to my writing. :smile1_ee:

    Media has it now.

    Wow, so fast!

    [You may leave comments there.]

  • smartcookie

    Well, I’m looking forward to it being over for them, because they must be about ready to drop by now (as well as pretty darn sick of “Please Don’t Stop the Music.” I know I watch the Mavid dances with the sound off these days.) But I bet they are sad to say goodbye to each other, since they seem to be such good friends. Kind of like packing up your car at the end of senior year of college. You know you’re glad to be done with finals and glad to be moving on to the next phase of your life, but sorry to be saying goodbye to your friends, as well as very aware things will never be the same again.

  • iamislove

    Smartcookie,

    For Sure, for sure! They’ve got to be ready to collapse after Tulsa. I’m sure they’ll have a blow out end of tour party for themselves and close friends, but once that’s done – SLEEP!

    How do you give sleep as a giftie?

  • 123abc456

    It sounds like the concert was great, I think I will miss reading the reviews but I think I need a little break, maybe see what is on TV these days, check out some politics as the election is coming up. Most importantly wait impatiently for David Cooks new album!!!!! But it has been fun.

  • gerreb

    iamislove….writing?? what do you write???? and that is a great question….i would love to take a vacation. too bad i’m barely a few months into my first job as a nurse and haven’t built up any vacation days yet. lol. oh well…i can dream. :)

  • gerreb

    yeah that is more what i’m sad about, rather than the tour itself. i don’t know why i’m sad for them…i don’t even know them, lol. i just feel like i know them though.

  • FolkFan

    How much sleep can Cookie get after Tulsa? I think that he has to be in KC the next day for the Chiefs game….

    I can definitely commiserate with the conflicted feelings on PDSTM. I actually dislike that song quite a bit, but I find myself waiting impatiently for the videos of each performance for the goofiness. It was bad enough when it was just Mavid. But now there’s the possibility of MJ/KLC, MJ/Chikezie, MJ/Jason, MJ/DA, Cookuleta, and random passing around of DC hats and/or cheeseheads, in addition to Mavid. Why couldn’t Pride have become the must-watch group number of the show this summer? At least it’s a good song.

    Plus, I find it amusing that you can hear DC’s voice booming out whenever he is singing during PDSTM. He may hate the song (and I bet that he does) but he gives his all while he’s out there. So I never seem to turn off the sound on it.

    I shall now resume my impatient waiting for the PDSTM video from tonight. (Sigh.)

    I write poetry, songs, (i’ve been in too many bands to remember them all) and have been working on a novel. I submitted it in short story format to a professor for a course I was taking and she fell in love with it and is urging me to write the novel instead of leaving it as is. Anyway, enuf about my real life away from being enamored with DC. He reminds me of an ex, so…..

    Well, I’m outa here. Vids are a comin’!

    Hi I’m home.

    First thing:

    I’m going to go through the guidelines again:

    Topmost thread DOES NOT EQUAL breaking news thread.

    ALL BREAKING NEWS GOES IN TODAY’S HEADLINES THREAD. If there is a catch all thread, the Headlines thread is it.

    I want peeps who open the comments thread of a topic TO FIND POSTS ABOUT THAT PARTICULAR TOPIC AND THAT PARTICULAR TOPIC ONLY.

    Yes, I’ve gone ape crap enough times about off-topic posts, particularly in the concert threads, that I figure most of you knew.

    So, here’s how it will go. Further discussion about the Archie video will continue in the Headlines thread until I there is a separate post. Concert chat will continue here.

    And I’ve got some video to upload! :) .

  • http://myspace.com/girlgeek mj

    Holy shit, I’m watching Mavid, and it’s cracking me up. What I thought were flowers was a stuffed bunny. Hysterical. The mavid thing is funny too. I’m working on that now…

  • cruzceleste

    Charlie the Unicorn

    Yeah I was specting that Charlie will have his big stage moment that night :(
