useless – When David closes his eyes when he is singing, he is feeling the song, and the fans are connecting with him. People usually close their eyes when they are praying, and it is very appropriate for him to close his eyes during performances such as “Prayer for the Children”. He doesn’t always close his eyes, just when the song he is singing is heartfelt. Anyone who has seen David in concert knows that he makes a lot of eye contact.

OMG. That was beautiful. Many pop “stars” sound awful “singing” a cappella, but not archpuppy. I wish he would take Andrew Lloyd Webber’s advice. Open your eyes. …Open your eyes…

Yes we must give to Haiti.

I read in my local paper some very sad things about the children of Haiti.

One child was injured on her hand and she did not get treatment and because of that she got gangrene in her hand. The doctors determined that they had to remove the child’s hand, so they operated. The worst thing was that they did not have any thing for pain or to put the child to sleep. The story went on to say that the doctors thought as they amputated the child’s hand that she was singing the whole time. They later found out that the child was not singing but praying as they removed the child’s hand.

So I hope we all are hearing “The Prayers of The Children.”

God bless David Archuleta for singing his song for the children of Haiti.

David, thank you for being who you are. This world needs more people like you who get in to help where ever there’s a need AND you are so accepting of others! This song was very beautiful and appropriate for the situation. I love you the just way you are – with various ethnic accents, and cultural diversities!!!

David truly sings from his heart, such a beautiful performance of “Prayer of the Children” on behalf of the children of Haiti. We couldn’t be more proud of David, he’s the best! As always David’s a true inspiration to all of his fans to do what we can to help those in need, especially now the people of Haiti.

What a heartfelt performance by David, he’s so humble and giving. And “high fives” to all the Arch Angels who donated to this worthy cause

I’m looking forward to hearing the next CD, some of the peeps he’s been writing with, have been tweeting about how gobsmacked they are by David Ekkk CD

Not getting a Eastern European accent on the “Children” part either. He’s a Latino with a Utah accent. Go figure.

It’s not a song he’s ever recorded, nor does he intend to, as far as we know. Maybe someday. It’s just a song he likes to sing when the occasion warrants. Don’t think it’s part of his long-term career plans. lol

Ozarka – LOL at your geography lesson. You forgot Daniel Bedingfield (New Zealand born based in LA) and Kina Grannis (Californian based in LA).

David is working with a wide variety of artists from all over the place for his next album. He is in LA right now working with Nasri and Adam Messinger who are Canadians. There have been recent tweets from other artists saying that they are working on his record, such as David Hodges (originally from Arkansas), Eman Kiriakou (Pennsylvanian based in LA), Claude Kelly (from New York City). Victoria Horn (a Brit based in LA) tweeted that she’ll be working with David next week. Last November, he was in Nashville working with Matt Squire (from Washington DC), Joy Williams (from Santa Cruz, CA), Nate Yetton (from Nashville), Matt Wertz (from Missouri), Mat Kearney (from Oregon), and Robert Marvin (Nashville). He also went to New York City to work with Jeymes Samuel.

Hmm…carolinacharms – the utah connection was mostly for some of the Christmas songs on his second cd with the rest of those songs produced and arranged by EMAN. As far as his first “David Archuleta” cd, I don’t think any of those were arranged or produced by Utah people. Since he is currently writing with many people in Nashville and LA, I don’t think the “regional act” will be an issue for him, not to mention the Latino connection (hence the “Contigo en la Distancia” at the ALMA awards. I was happy to hear Prayer of the Children, but my favorite is “Save the Day”.
