Jeff told someone about it at the radio meet ‘n greet; that person then told me.

Just thought I’d clear that up.

Crush is #27 on the top 100 videos of 2008 on VH-1

btw bonnie hunt auction is up to $4160 with 5 days left… lol

side note, it was supposed to be on friday but they moved it to today because it was the only day he was free. lol

I don’t think the link above will work with Mozilla Firefox. If you must use Firefox, use THIS LINK instead. The difference is you won’t be able to blow it up to full screen with the latter.

ETA: I just noticed that they have Crush as #11 on their top 20 on demand. Kewl!

Also last night, on the show TV Watercooler Randy Jackson was interviewed. They got to talking about David Osmond and the talent coming out of Salt Lake City this coming season. Randy pointed out, “You know we had our boy last season, our runner up Archuleta, David, ‘Archie,’ as we call him, from there.” They then showed of a clip of him, from a while back, walking on the treadmill thingy for the TV guide photo shoot.

Anything that gets his name and face out on the airwaves, regardless of how brief, is good exposure for David. :thumbup_tb:

I guess I just get a little frustrated with the people that insist that people like Carrie or Archie are still the same performer they were on Idol, which is not true if you really look back at those videos to now.

I completely agree with this. I want critics to evaluate artists on what they are doing now, not just some preconceived notion of what they thought or heard they were like during Idol. If Taylor Swift stinks in a live performance, please have the guts to go against the popular flow and say so.

The true à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“singerà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ , you know that person with great chops who stirs your senses just by the sound of their voice, will never be given the credit their instrument deserves.

If you just go on the fan board for David A, you would find that there are many, many people who have been smitten by his voice and have been drawn back into music, both musicians and nonmusicians alike. So, even though people may not be able to articulate or give reasons why they like great chops, many (if they will allow their mind to get beyond their biases) will somehow notice.

Personally, I am frikin addicted to these performances lol. He has improved SO much since AI. love love these. I want to go to one of these concerts; I hope he comes to KC someday.

IMHO a great many people go to concerts, not to hear a singer, but to have their fundamental base feelings titillated.

That part I kind of agree with. If I just wanted to hear the singer, I’d put on the CD. There’s a reason it’s called a show. That said, I also want see the performance and to hear the singer– the voice is a crucial component of the music! And what I look for in music is in fact, to have my fundamental feelings– ok, I wouldn’t choose the word titillated, but yeah, I guess I want the music to move me on a base level. Sometimes that could mean a performance where the singer is just standing there and interpreting a song, and other times, it will involve my other senses. I like to be entertained in different ways. That doesn’t sound crazy to me, but maybe that makes me sheep. Baaah.

ETA: I just want to say, I’ve been enjoying the links on this thread. O Holy Night is my fave and Archie killed it. *tears* Also, he’s getting super comfortable and good with these interviews– WTG! AND, I also think Carrie and Archie are good live performers.
