On his set list were “Touch My Hand”, “Works For Me”, “You Can”, “A Little Too Not Over You”, and “Crush”.

Check out David singing “Touch My Hand” after the jump.

    He looks great. He’s got the Cook bounce going on.

  • houstonrufus

    He had a great night. Relaxed and confident. The crowd loved him, as did Katy Perry evidently. ha!! So happy for him. Can’t wait to see him on Sunday in Houston!!

  • http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=587900002&ref=name cruzceleste

    Good Job Archie… cute to heard the people sing alone to Crush…

    as did Katy Perry evidently. ha!! So happy for him

    lol, I keep imagine the both together,and they will actually made a cute couple… To bad Katy “kissed a girl and she liked it”… lol

    I want pictures of David and Katy together please…

  • houstonrufus

    Good review in Sacramento paper, btw! He got the most praise.

  • houstonrufus
  • JudyOhio

    Well, I guess I know what a Jingle Ball is now, lol. Didn’t know they were so well attended. David did a remarkable job, and I’m really liking how his songs are translating live. He seems extremely comfortable with them. The crowd evidently adored him! lol. I think he’ll go far.

  • terps

    I still can’t stand “Touch My Hand”

  • hardkandy

    Oh God I love these so much.

    Especially Works For Me and You Can. That little pause, smile, giggly wave thing he did after he hit that glory note in You Can. Ahhh. Melts.

  • http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=587900002&ref=name cruzceleste

    ^Judy IÂ ´m croosing my fingers that these appareance translate in more sales… Go David..

  • LK08

    He is growing up right before our eyes, and BOY can he sing! I love the moment in “you can” where he says “this I knoooooooow” (hope I got the words right). His voice just rings and fills the whole place.

  • ggdoorsfan

    That bounce is David’s, and David’s alone…. :)

    David has morphed into a true performer. We kept catching glimpses of it during Idol, and the tour, but it is all STARTING TO JELL and come together in his performance last night in Sacramento. There is energy, emotion, confidence, grace, assurance and absolute ownership of who he is as a singer evident in all these 5 songs. David is very animated and expressive in relaying the tender emotions of You Canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ ALTNOY and WFM shows the soulful side of him off to perfectionà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦. and when the crowd sings along to Crush, you know that he has made a connection with fans far outside of AIà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦. especially when he points the mic toward them and they sing it back to him – you can see his joy in that moment. Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m once again amazed, stunned, overwhelmed at the growth and assurance as a stage performer he has acquired since the summer tour.

    David Archuleta is upping the ante in regard to the old debate in the entertainment industry of style over substance, talent verses flash, mediocrity verses true greatness. Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m out of words this morning to describe all of what Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m feeling as a fan – but there is an assurance within my heart and soul that the young man Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ve grown to admire and love as an artist over this past year is building a great body of work and experience that will place him firmly into the upper echelons of this industry.

    WE’RE STANDING BEHIND YOU IN TOTAL SUPPORT OF ALL YOUR DREAMS DAVIDà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ KEEP DREAMING BIG

  • JudyOhio

    There are other videos! Wonder if MJ would bring those over? Just saw Works for Me. Man, he really had a good night there!

    (Thanks for the article houstonrufus. I was surprised that 8,000 attended. Wow!)

  • terps

    edit: This thread is about David Archuleta. Take your comments to the sales thread, where it would be appropriate. Please don’t bait the posters here.

  • alleygirl08

    I agree, people wil never admitt it but is opening week sales werenà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t good. When you look at how Crush did better then Lights On as singles but yet Cook Sold WAY more then Archie

    What’s there to admit? We all expected Cook to sell more, since he’s in the rock genre and has all the 19M promotion behind him. Archie’s opening week WAS great..I mean he outsold both Pink and T-pain who have huge hits..how is that not good?

  • http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=587900002&ref=name cruzceleste

    ^I never said his first week sales weren`t good, we already have see that considering how the market it is right now for Pop new singer his sales were really good (exactly the same that PINK have in her first sales week), just that I want him to sell more…Actually I raether have steady good sales…

    Um, terpsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦.nevermindà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦..biting tongue to not lecture a fellow poster, lol.

    lol Judy

    At a minute in, Katy goes, “How come you had my number and you didn’t even CALL ME, DAVID?!”

    Katy Perry told all the fangirls to back off, because he’s hers.

    DAVID & KATY PERRY 4ever

    DAVID & KATY PERRY 4ever

    But imagine how many pens he would have to use up to draw shorts on her every single day.

  • abbysee

    On the lighter side, Archie kicked serious ass last night. I mean between You Can and Works for Me I don’t know which was more perfect. He was in his element. The crowd effin’ loved him. He sang his cute little face off, and might I add looked extremely adorable in his vest and tee. He exceded my expectations for sure. He’s a star!

  • frogcooke

    ahahaha Lisa! He needs to buy stock in Sharpies… lol

  • houstonrufus

    I NEVER expected Archie to sell more albums than Cook. David’s numbers were and are fine. Every article I read said that. Cook was the winner. And he has an enormous following. Why wouldn’t he sell more? And good for him! Our David’s sales and performances need to be kept in context. If not, you will always be disappointed. And I refuse to be disappointed when he is succeeding and doing exactly what he needs to do.

    The performances last night just go to show that he is his own best marketing team. His talent and sincerity are his best assets. Put him in front of a crowd with a microphone and success will come.

  • houstonrufus

    Sorry, sorry, sorry. You’re right.

    I was so happy to see him perform Works for Me! Love the song. I still think it’s the best thing he’s done since Idol. Glad he gets to perform a song that is autobio and means so much to him.

    Archie kicked serious ass last night.

  • alleygirl08

    My friend went to the concert and said that Archie seriously brought the house down. I wonder if that’s how Archie is like at parties lol. I’m so jealous of her.

  • frogcooke

    Judy heh. He was awesome! and the crowd really seemed to love him.

    Loved that pause after the bridge during You Can and that smile he flashed right after it.

  • LK08

    His talent and sincerity are his best assets. Put him in front of a crowd with a microphone and success will come.

    Well said. Despite the way he was painted by many in the media during AI, David continues to turn heads and change minds. After watching recent live performances from other stars in the business, I appreciate him so much more when I see these live performances, and he will only get better. Amazing!

    David, we are so proud of you. You got #2 on billboard without tons of promotion for a long time, and your song Crush rose like a meteor to compete with the most successful Idol singles of all time (in a very short time). Congratulations!

    edit

  • qbaloo

    Wow..! I think David has just been messing with us all these months. We’ve only seen glimpses of the confident, purposeful performer and finally, last night, he really let it all out for every second he was on that stage. I love TMH as an opening song for his set as it really gets the crowd going, not that they needed any encouragement if all that screaming is any indication! And everyone singing along with Crush was amazing.

    He made it all seem so easy, and he was definitely enjoying himself. Glad that Works For Me got into the set as well. I wonder if David pushed to give that song more ‘exposure’ because it’s so close to him or if it’s all part of Jive’s sneaky plan to unleash that as a single sometime soon.

  • houstonrufus

    froggy, he had that crowd in the palm of his hand with You Can. I thought the Sacramento review was right in noting that his performances were refreshing because they were so “earnest”. That is the key to his success. Not just the voice, because there are plenty of great voices around. But he sings with conviction. His voice is unique in that it conveys conviction, the sound of it. Not sure I understand that technically. But it just, well, does. But his performances of songs, down to his facial expressions. Whatever the material, even if the lyrics are trite, he digs into it and makes you believe it. That is a very rare gift. That is why I have always thought he is special. Everything else can be learned. The trappings of being a good entertrainer. But if you have the ability to communicate meaning with the sound of your voice and with such immediacy. Well, that is more than vocal mannerisms and tics and melisma. That is the beginning of a great career.

  • alleygirl08

    i love his outfit too..couldn’t have imagined anything better. major arm action too :) Every time I see Archie point to a girl in the videos, I hear a sharp scream and hope the girl is ok haha

  • frogcooke

    alley.. hahaha I was thinking the same thing lol

  • Suzanne

    He is so cute. He did great. I’d have loved to be there. Works for Me is one of my favorites–I’d love to see it in a small theatre, though, b/c I really like the percussion in that w/his voice.

    He’s got such tremendous confidence. He could use a bit more confidence when he’s not singing. Not bad on the talking, but he could let the audience finish their applause/cheers before he starts talking or launches into another song. It’s natural to rush–I’m sure he feels like, if he’s not singing, then nothing is happening and the people will be bored. But people won’t get bored in 30 seconds.

    ETA–that handshake with that girl was very businesslike. When he offered his right hand, she should have given her left.

  • LK08

    Katy Perry- not David’s type

    BTW- that article was harsh on Katy:

    Take, for example, Katy Perry. Please. The newly minted pop diva’s frenetic stage antics and chatter felt overly rehearsed. Those little pre-song story preludes to “Hot N Cold,” “Waking Up in Vegas” and her mega-hit “I Kissed a Girl” are repeated in every city she plays, guaranteed.

    The former Christian pop singer exudes an undeniable quirky, cute-as-a-button charm, however, and even though her songs often sounded flat and tuneless it will be interesting to hear what time, maturity and experience does for Perry’s talents — if she’s still around in five years.

    Oh, BTW. I know all about IP proxies and how they work…

    If I ban you, you are banned. If you try to post again, I’ll figure it out, sooner rather than later.

  • frogcooke

    yeah LK they were a bit harsh on katy.

  • IdolFanatic

    I actually find the idea of rooting for an Idol contestant who is not completely polished on the show quite refreshing and even endearing sometimes. The raw talent where you can see their potential and then watch them grow is really quite exciting. Carrie Underwood is a perfect example of this. Simon is really good at spotting potential and I think that’s why he was so dead on about Carrie. I saw it in her too just like I did with Archie. Although the difference with Archie is that he actually started out very strong but then the pressure started to show and he was a bit more awkward and closed off in some of his performances. Then we started seeing some of his earlier flashes of brilliance again as he progressed further in the competition. And now, you would hardly know it’s the same kid except for that amazing voice! :)

  • LK08

    I know David won his category in star search, but he really didn’t start singing in public until around that time 11ish and after that, he had the vocal paralysis. I my mind, David is exactly the perfect person to be discovered on American Idol- someone who is just blossoming, with so much more all around potential for improvement such as room for his performance skills to grow, room for his music writing skills to grow, and room for his interviewing skills to grow.

  • rockfan

    This was a stellar night for David. I am so happy and proud of him. He is no longer just “ours” within the fanbase…he is now on the world stage!! Congratulations, David!!!

  • primeminister

    I love love love how comfortable he is singing Works for Me. It’s one of his strongest songs, IMO.

  • ozarka

    Loved those videos. David brought the house down! And he looked so hip in that t-shirt and vest. He was very relaxed and poised, not at all awkward. He’s growing up before our very eyes.

    Did anybody else watch the Jimmy Kimmel show last night? Kimmel used David, Sanjaya, and the Crying Girl in his monologue. They showed a clip of the Crying Girl as she was sobbing during Sanjaya’s performance. Then Kimmel said, “Apparently, her tears aren’t reserved exclusively for Sanjaya, because well take a look at this here…” They then showed a clip of David during one of the outdoor signing sessions with the fans from the AI tour. He was wearing his skeleton t-shirt and he was giving the crying girl a hug, as she was crying. I’m not sure if they used any camera tricks because it looked authentic. It looked like the very same girl. I wish I had a link for you all to see it. It was pretty funny.

  • clee1107

    I’m kinda late. I couldn’t get up early. haha..lol…
    Last night I was there!! Yes, I was. David was just amazing. He has the voice as we know. Last nite David totally owned the stage. I donno how to describe that moment. It was so amazing and blessing and spaz spaz. His voice was on fire. His every movements made ppl crazy. He looked confident and relaxed. Sacramento loved David so much. (did u remember 4 mins standing ovation in Sacramento? ) David touched(grabbed whatever) one girl’s hand during touch my hand. How lucky. After his set, I saw Jeff for few seconds, but no David. :-( I strongly recommend Jingle ball concerts even though u’r not a fan of David. It was so much fun!!!

  • LK08

    ozarka- that was a real moment before a show outside with the same girl. Fans call her the crying girl.

    Yeah, remeber that video, it was the day Cook and Archie did the hands stand… if I remember there is one version in wicht David said to the crying girl “oh I remember you”…

    BTW Jimmy Kimmel really loves some David, or at least mention him in his monologues… why will he mention David yesterday?…maybe he will invite David to his show… anyway any publicity us good publicity I guess…

    Good grief

    Charlie Brown FTW

  • PCdoctor

    Good grief, I don’t think those girls stopped screaming during the entire TMH song.

  • Anya

    Katy Perry used to be a christian (as in the genre) singer, then she took her clothes off and sang about kissing a girl and became much more popular but she still can’t sing worth a darn. She is a cute girl but KEEP YOUR PAWS OFF DAVID Kat!

    Does anyone know what happens if there are more performers in the JB show? Do they cut their sets? I’m going to MSG and there are more artists in the show so I am hoping that they don’t cut David’s set. They are also big names like Rihanna so she probably gets an hour and her boyfriend Chris B. gets another hour…..

  • ozarka

    Thanks LK and Celeste. So it was for real! I saw the handstand video but I never saw the clip with the crying girl. Thanks!

    Super secret Meet and Greet from yesterday. I would love to have seen people’s reactions when he gave them food in that drive through. I think it said on there that they would have video up sometime.

  • clee1107

    Before the show, I went to arco arena around 2pm. There’re many David’s fans. (only David’s fans), cuz we knew they’ll have meet&greet events at 3pm. No luck. Security guys kicked me out. haha…I went to a restaurant nearby arena. FOD organized lunch meeting. We got a VIP room and had David’s photo slide shows on huge screen TV, and audio streaming of David’s songs.
    I went to the arco arena after the lunch meeting. They had couple of t-shirts and bags of David. I bought a bag, btw. haha..
    The show order was Shontelle, Boys like girls, David, Katy, and Jesse. They’re all good. Personally, Katy was kinda “surprise”. She was adorable and a great performer. As u already knew, Katy became a fangirl of David.
    David started Touch my hand. It’s really really good live song. David connected with audience in this song. One lucky girl. Oh..that girl. I was so jealous..haha..j/k. When he grabbed her hand, ppl went nuts!! When he pointed my camera, I literally passed out.
    David sang Works for me right away. This is the first time to hear “works for me” in live. It was really good. I really loved this song. It was a nice transition.
    You can.. oh well..One lady next to me became a fan of David after this song. Yeah. It was that good. People was listening to David’s stunning voice and beautiful smiles. During this song, ppl turned on cell phones and waved them. It was cool to see.
    David introduced ALTNOY like “hey, this is my next single.” Fans were crazy. It was so good in live. I cannot believe that was a live voice. Perfect tone and lots of emotion. I’m so happy this song is a next single.
    Finally David sang crush. Whole arena sang along this “familiar” song. David was spot on. People really loved this song. It was cool to see ppl sang along David’s song.
    Overall, David’s set was incredible. Band was great. David looked nice. that voice…oh well…He’s keeping better. I was totally shocked. David was such a great performer.
    This is my short recap.

    edit: if you have a question, email me.

  • IdolFanatic

    Those K-Hop pictures are great! Thanks!

    I think these performances prove that a “pageant kid” he ain’t. I love how he’s proved so many of his detractors wrong… go Archie!

  • LK08

    Idolfanatic- IMO that is the way they (media and many blogs) painted David- bread from the time he was born to compete- a robot, etc. but anyone who has watched him since AI knows that he didn’t even get voice lessons until he started star seach and that he is a sincere person who loves his parents dearly (not abused), and he is not robotic at all. His interviews are not preplanned and rehearsed. That is why they are awkward at times. He says what he is thinking.

  • Niall

    From the Sacramento Bee review:

    More than a few middle-age women unceremoniously bulldozed girls three-quarters their age in hopes of getting a better glimpse

    I think DA’s teenage fans need to forget about respecting their elders and start returning the favors by giving the weirdo oldies good hard shoves. I don’t have any use for the kid but he’s a teenage girls dream guy and the old ladies should let them have the best seats/view. Disgusting.

  • soundscene

    I think DAà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s teenage fans need to forget about respecting their elders and start returning the favors by giving the weirdo oldies good hard shoves.

    Well, I don’t think anybody should be shoving anybody, regardless of age. But music doesn’t have an age limit, and if somebody is a fan, then they have every right to enjoy the show from the seat or spot that they’re given or that they’ve managed to get (if it’s general admission). It’s a falsity that teenage girls are David’s only fans. Moreover, it’s his talent that attracts most of his fans, not the way he looks, so whether he’s a “dream guy” for some doesn’t have anything to do with who gets a better seat.

  • Niall

    Sorry, that article says “unceremoniously bulldozed.” That has nothing to do with getting the spot you paid for. Adults should know better and display more dignity.

    I’m so happy I clicked into these comments again. That was great.

    ETA–If you click on the pic, and then click on “misc.” (a group of 7 pics) and THEN on the pic with David, her system gives a print option. LOL on that too.

    Clee–Thx for your recap. Did you get the impression that most of the audience was there for someone else? How was the audience rxn to David vs the other performers?

  • IdolFanatic

    LOL at the picture! Wow! Did that really happen?!

    Gee freakin’ whiz, I don’t know how many times I have to say it, but seriously, just because I’m nearly twice Archie’s age and am a fan does not mean I want to jump his bones. I love him for his talent and of course his endearing personality doesn’t hurt, but I don’t think of him in some strange inappropriate way. I do think he seems like he’d be fun to have as the little brother I never had though :) I’ll never tire of hearing his amazing voice though regardless of everything else.

    I agree soundscene- no one should be shoving. Not sure what that article was refering to. It was likely one person and they dramatized it to make it sensational.

    David knows he has a huge fanbase of all ages of both men and women, young and old and very much appreciates them all, although a few can get “creepy”, as he has said. He realizes that without his fans, he is nothing.

    Regarding the Kathy Griffin picture- The things people ask David to do!!

    Okay, so there are 2 shirts(one has a pic), a bag, and a jacket for sale. The bag, jacket, and pink shirt just say ‘David Archuleta’ and there is not a picture.

    I rarely post here but I read a lot. Anyway, I was lucky enough to get passes to the station’s meet & greet last night.

    We weren’t allowed to take pictures with the artists nor were we allowed to snap pics while we were up at the signing table. Anyway, David seemed to have such a good time there. He was sitting between Shontelle and Jesse McCartney. He sang and danced along to the music they played, and he made me laugh when he almost spelled my name wrong. I gave him a little early birthday/Christmas gift of hot chocolate. Random, but I thought that would be fun.

    I also got to chat with his dad for a bit afterward. He was very nice and thanked us for all the support.

    I have a full rundown of everything here at my Myspace blog but I figured I’d share the David part here with you guys!

    Love the Archie/Kathy Griffin pic!

    Sorry, that article says à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“unceremoniously bulldozed.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  That has nothing to do with getting the spot you paid for. Adults should know better and display more dignity.

    Agreed.

    “unceremoniously bulldozed”

    Maybe I’m a word nerd but I really think the author of the article was searching for a descriptive verb to indicate the great enthusiasm that even older fans have for Archie. It would really surprise me if this was a literal translation of what really happened!

    Did anybody else watch the Jimmy Kimmel show last night? Kimmel used David, Sanjaya, and the Crying Girl in his monologue. They showed a clip of the Crying Girl as she was sobbing during Sanjayaà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s performance. Then Kimmel said, à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Apparently, her tears arenà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t reserved exclusively for Sanjaya, because well take a look at this hereà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  They then showed a clip of David during one of the outdoor signing sessions with the fans from the AI tour. He was wearing his skeleton t-shirt and he was giving the crying girl a hug, as she was crying.

    You can now view last night’s monologue on the Jimmy Kimmel website.
    [If the Crying Girl segment isn't the first thing that pops up for you, then what you should do, after the ad plays out, is to click on the browser icon (magnifying glass) and look for the thumbnail titled "Crying Girl."]

    P.S. That pic of Archie carrying Kathy Griffin is the cutest thing ever!!

    :jittery_tb: OMG….David was just awesome! I couldn’t wait to get home from work and watch all of these videos. He looked like he was having such a great time and the crowd LOVED him! :clap_tb: TMH is a great concert song and he rocked it. He seemed to really love performing WFM. And “You Can” was so beautiful….loved how he stopped towards the end….that big smile! :grin1_ee: He’s already really comfortable singing ALTNOY….and it was awesome how the crowd sang with him during “Crush”. Loved how he held out the mic for the crowd to sing….just like Cook always does. :thumbup_tb:

    Thanks for all the KHOP pics and videos….Archie working the drive-thru was priceless!! :mrgreen_wp:
