UPDATE: Videos: Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Touch My Hand, A Thousand Miles, Works for Me, A Little Too Not Over You, You Can, Crush.

David Archuleta performed at the the Q102 Jingle Ball in Camden, NJ tonight. I’m sure there will be video and photos surfacing soon enough. In the meantime, Archie blogs on his My Space. The video for “A Little Too Not Over You” is debuting on Yahoo next week Here’s an excerpt:\

So along comes Friday… dun dun dun.. haha… For the big Z100 Jingle Ball at Madison Square Garden. This was a really intense one, and I was pretty dang jittery throughout the day. Z100 Jingle Ball is a big big deal, and I couldn’t believe I was one of the acts. I don’t think I can explain (not like me being unable to explain something is anything new) how intimidating and nerve wracking it was to be sandwiched between Kanye West and Chris Brown in the lineup, and being 2nd to last lol. but hijole!! Coming after Kanye just felt so wrong for me to do, but man I had a blast! Never thought in a million billion kajillion years I’d be performing at Madison Square Garden with Brandy, Leona Lewis, right after Kanye West (even though I felt like a loser going after someone as amazing as that lol) and then Chris Brown and Rihanna. It was just sooo amazing!! The other really cool thing was that Z100 was the first station to play and debut Crush. Man it’s just such a cool thing to be able to to have done. And now looking back on it.. just wow.. But thanks you guys for coming to the shows! The energy everyone brings to the arena really helps us performers step up our game, and really have a great time up there.

The party after the show was at a bowling alley, so it was fun to go and do that even though I was DEAD tired. my body was just aching since we had so much press and things to do all that day. It was fun to meet so many people though. Bruce Springsteen was at the show with his daughter and her friends, and it was definitely an honor to meet him.

Last thing I wanted to mention is that the Video for A Little Too Not Over You is going to be premiering next week on Yahoo Music! A lot of work goes into making videos so I hope you guys like it!!

A couple more videos from the Z100 Jingle Ball in Madison Square Garden. David gets a “Love Poke” from Lady GaGa. Ha ha She also gives David advice on getting a deli sandwich VIDEO. And a backstage interview with David VIDEO.

  • soundscene

    Can’t wait for the Q102 vids–especially “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” And that er, “love poke” is hilarious. That video with Lady Gaga is so staged–and his Clue game randomly disappears from his hands.

    A little off topic– “Crush” comes in at #46 on Z100′s Top 100 of 2008!

    Jordin is pretty high up on the list with a couple of her singles too, but I haven’t gone through the rest of the list to find other Idols (I believe Daughty may be on there more than once as well).

  • houstonrufus

    Sounds like David is having a ball. Really happy to see him having so much fun. The concerts are going great. The crowds seem to love him and he is meeting tons of talented people. Go D!!

    It said so in David ´s blog ;D

  • lefty

    Best blog ever from David. And I love the shout-out to Carly. :bye_tb:

  • abbysee

    The video with Lady Gaga and David was staged, but adorable yet the same. Somehow I never would have randomly put them together, but it works.

    And Mj, it wasn’t just a deli sandwich we are talking about here, we are talking KATZ’s deli, that is like the champagne of deli sandwiches let me tell you!

    I can’t wait to see David’s second video, and I am glad they are putting it out soon. I love Crush and all that, but it’s time to move on.

  • lefty

    I agree, and staged or not, there were some funny spontaneous moments. Something tells me that the phrase “love poke” wasn’t scripted. :laugh_tb:

  • soundscene

    Oh yeah, totally adorable. lol. I think Lady Gaga is considered a “Mountain Screamer” rather than a puma or a cougar–she’s only 22 years old. heh.

  • ggdoorsfan

    Z100′s Top 100 Year End Countdown! Crush is #46!!!

    WOO HOO WAY 2 GO DAVID! :clap_tb:

  • ozarka

  • sabby_rina

    David needs a gold star for saying “love poke.” That was jus toooooooo funny!!!

  • frogcooke

    some updates from snarkies that came in late… lol

    Update #7: Omgoshhhhhhhhhh.

    Update #6: Long sleeve white dress shirt. Black vest. Light brown scarf. Dark jeans. Amazing! Eeek! I’m like still shaky.

    Update #5: David is love. He remembered my name, signed my CD, remembered our Fiona Apple bond and squeezed my hand. This on top of singing my favorite Christmas song ever!

    Update #4: David dancing or bopping rather to Damaged – such a cutie pie! Think So What dance. He is all smiles as usual. Do you need outfit deets?

    Update #3: Now dancing and singing to Irreplaceable by Beyonce.

    Update #2: Katy Perry loves our boy! She made him come back after he left just to take a pic with him. She kissed him on the cheek and he hopped away like a pogo stick.

    Update #1: We just talked to Jeff for like 30 minutes! He remembered us! David was doing a little CD signing thing and when he was done he and Katie Perry like crossed paths… They were talking. Then all of a sudden David like started um dancing–like majorly haha. I don’t know why. Then he like hopped away on one foot haha! But he was randomly singing! And super happy and Archudorable! So random but so awesome! Haha

  • soundscene

    Update #7 is the most informative.

  • ozarka

    ^^ Awww!!! Wish I could have witnessed all that!

  • Jabkmc

    Update #7 is the most informative.

    It is. The visuals are amazing. haha!

  • frogcooke

    update 7 is super descriptive.. its’ almost as I was there myself…

  • ozarka

    Thanks! I just read it! I love, love, love his blogs! I love that they are long too! LOL! His joy is even contagious in his writing! I am curious as to why he hasnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t gotten new phone though??? Strange. Oh wellà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦LOL!

    Actually, he got one last night as one of his many parting gifts at the Z100 Jingle Ball. However, he probably doesnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t have Carlyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s phone number programmed into it just yet. He probably lost a whole bunch of contact numbers.

    And à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“hijoleà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ , I ´m so excited that ALNTOY video is releasing next weekà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ Go David!!!! lol to him using spanglishà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

    Celeste, what did David mean when he said à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“hijoleà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ?

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

    Celeste, what did David mean when he said à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“hijoleà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ?

    Some people are translating “hà ­jole” as “gosh” I think that OMG is more close to the meaning, is an expression that shows shock or surprise… you use it to call for attention towards something, is used a lot in Mexico, El Salvador and Honduras…

    You will pronounce it something like e-ho-le

  • JudyOhio

    The actual quote was “it’s a love poker” lol. You know, some site (like VFTW) might have a field day about David’s love poker statement. lol. I caught that and had it in the other DA thread because DC always says DA is funny when he doesn’t even realize he’s being funny and I think I can really see what Cook is saying now, lol. The off-the-cuff remarks. It just cracked me up that David would say that, LOL, still does, lol. The canned question from him asking her about where to get a deli sandwich around here struck me funny also. It was like an awkward pick-up line, lol.

  • hermy

    lol, yeah “hijole” is kind of like the spanish replacement for a swear word. Sort like saying “snap” instead if crap. In David’s case it’s probably a replacement for ‘gosh’ haha.

    I hope some video of him and Katy Perry comes out, that sounds so funny! Only David would hop away on one foot and randomly dance in his adorkable way, lol

  • frogcooke

    Well at least he didnt ask her if she liked water…. lol haha

  • JudyOhio

    ^^^”In David’s case it’s probably a replacement for “gosh” haha.”

    LOL hermy!

  • Suzanne

    What’s up with that staged, semi-scripted little video with Lady Gaga? Why was it even made? To advertise that sandwich shop and Barneys?

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

    lol, yeah à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“hijoleà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  is kind of like the spanish replacement for a swear word.

    Not exactly, HÃ ­jole is used a lot by kids… is really a expression really innocent… actually is surpriseme that he used it, considering that David is mon is for the north side of Honduras, and this kind of expressions I have hear them more in the Central, south and accidental side of the country…

    But anyway, is really an innocent expression, is not a bad word, as we use to said here ;D

  • abbysee
  • ozarka

    Whatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s up with that staged, semi-scripted little video with Lady Gaga? Why was it even made? To advertise that sandwich shop and Barneys?

    If you watch closely, it appears to be edited. You’ll notice that the Clue game suddenly disappears just before David asks where’s a good place to get a sandwich. They were probably casually discussing food and the conversation lead to delis.

  • houstonrufus

    Thanks for the info on hijole, celeste! Very cool!!

  • JudyOhio

    ^^^ frogcooke, yes that was another thing he said that made me laugh, a pick up line.

    It was something like “Do you like water?” Person would respond yes. To which he would say. well you’d like me then, I’m 70% water! (or something like that)

  • frogcooke

    yahoo lists his music video premiere as 12/16

  • giapicchi

    I don’t know how many of you are familiar with Lady Gaga. I didn’t have a clue about her but looking through videos of the MSG Jingle Ball I saw that she has a song called Poker Face which incidentally she sang a capella (kind of a weird performance) but this is probably where the joke about poking in the face started. I’m sure David could sing it for us now if he wanted to:-) as he has been to at least 2 Jingle Balls with her.

  • JudyOhio

    Just saw some other pictures at snarkies. Even though that shirt fits him perfectly at the shoulders, it is way toooo long imo. Hope they get shorter ones for his height when he goes the shirt/vest route.

  • frogcooke

    I think this is his 3rd JB with lady gaga lol She’ll be at the one tomrrow I think too haha her and shontelle

    some infos from fans that went:

    Backstage, one of the DJs called up her daughter so she could talk to David, and David was very gracious. The DJ was so glad. (report from another fan)

    At the FYE booth, David and Jesseà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s albums were the ones that got sold out first!

    Someone (FYE or Q102 staff) took a picture of David and Katy – Katy kissed David on his left cheek and she really pressed her lips hard (David had to wipe the lips stick off).

  • ozarka

    DA: “So where would you…?
    LG: “He’s embarassed!”
    DA: “Yeah, I am embarassed. Hahaha!”

    What were they talking about?

  • frogcooke

    her outfit I think lol
    —————
    heres the link for the video premiere date

    http://new.music.yahoo.com/videos/premieres/

  • Suzanne

    What were they talking about?

    Her clothes. I believe his “line” was to ask her where she buys her clothes, but when he looked down at her body to reference her clothes, he got tongue tied because she isn’t wearing a lot.

    See, though, that’s what I mean about the scripted conversation.

  • soundscene

    ^^ I believe it was partially scripted–they were shilling products in the gift lounge (and apparently products outside the gift lounge as well). You can kind of tell that they were prompted to ask certain questions. But it was cute nonetheless.

  • ozarka

    Hmmm… yeah, I’m beginning to see it now. lol.

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

    Oooooh gosh! That “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” was amazing! I love when he sings a ‘Capella. Ugh, I wish I could get his Christmas album THIS YEAR. lol.

  • frogcooke

    I know I know…. christmas album please… like yesterday….

  • Jabkmc

    Has anyone ever done an all a cappella Christmas album? That would be my vote.

  • serenade

    HYAMLC is amazing. I think he should do at least one acapella song for the Christmas album but there should be music for most of the songs. He should also sing at least one Xmas song with a choir on the album.

  • sabby_rina

    Holy moley! That rendition of Merry little christmas is freaking amazing!!!!!

    I’m speechless!

  • frogcooke
  • soundscene

    LOL, I love how he’s *trying* to touch those girls hands but he just… can’t… reach.

  • Jabkmc

    Trying to reach out to you, touch my hand
    Reach out as far as you can

    lol!

  • JudyOhio

    Wow, Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas was outstanding! That’s one of my favorite Christmas songs. I would just LOVE to have an Archuleta Christmas CD and gift them too! I hope he continues to grow in the business and by next year be able to put a Christmas CD out that will be the top Christmas CD of that year! Such wonderful vocals he puts out! Amazing!

    TMH, as usual, a real crowd pleaser. I wonder when he is just going to jump off the stage and go touch those outreached hands, lol. Security wouldn’t know what to do if he did that. But he SO wants to touch some hands, it’s obvious!

    Thanks for the videos! Loved “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” — one of my favorites, and David definitely does it justice. He did well on every song last night, and I love the stories about Katy Perry kissing him and him HOPPING away!?!

  • ozarka

    Is there a video of Crush from last night? I don’t think I’ve see that one yet, has anyone?

  • kimk

    ozarka Oh yes that is the one! Thanks! He was outstanding last night!

  • frogcooke
  • abbysee

    TMH was incredible last night. I mean he performed the hell out of it. Have Yourself…..was beautiful. I really appreciate David giving his fans these songs for the holiday. I don’t really like xmas songs, but I appreciate them so much when David does them.

  • JudyOhio

    Thanks frogcooke! Wonder if David will ever choreograph some dancing moves or different moves when singing. So far it’s been the Archustomp for the most part, lol. Not that I have anything against that at all, it’s just that I’d like to see a few different moves on occasion down the road maybe.

  • Jabkmc

    FYI – I don’t know if this is posted already (I don’t see it), but the bracelet/shirt/cd/poster package up for the Bonnie Hunt charity auction sold for $6,550. On Friday, when Bonnie mentioned it on her show, it was still at $4,160. I guess there was a last minute bidding war. haha!

  • LK08

    I have been in Disneyland all week, so I am trying to catch up.

    I love the comment on youtube under the 1000 miles video that Frogcooke posted. It is from palmtreephan:

    “David is like a prism. He is so aware of the joyful simple pleasure he brings to people when he sings and when he performs this song. It’s as though he looks out on the sea of smiling faces before him and absorbs all their joy and just glows and reflects it back on everyone tenfold. . .Wow!”

    So true!
