Suzanne there was a grand piano on the other side of the stage. He just doesn’t need the help of the piano. He is fantastic all by himself.

Funny, a little while back ago I was wondering what David would be doing after the Demi/David tour. I thought there would be a dry spell and he wouldn’t be seen much. Boy was “I” wrong! The guy has a Christmas album out, a Christmas album tour, is guesting on MTV, hanging out with Jim C. (who I’m a fan of btw), working on a new pop album, a speaking engagement. This guy amazes me……he never stops!!! And I enjoy about everything he does, lol…..I am such a fan!

dunno how or why the political makeup of this crowd matters… not sure the same questions were raised regarding the number of republicans in attendance when he appeared and sang at some of the obama inauguration festivities – namely the latino gala… david wisely keeps his own counsel regarding these kind of things, as it should be… he’s an entertainer, and has not shown any desire or inclination to immerse himself in the tangled web of politics… the music business is political enough

I wonder if there were any Democrats there. (Just sayin’ it’s quite an overwhelmingly Republican line-up.)

That’s great for David, but I wonder what else was on the agenda?

I also think that, after this experience, David should plan on having to sing if he’s on a podium. He sounded great as always, but how long did it take him to decide what to sing. I bet that there was an upright piano in the wings right off that stage too.

I’m speaking from experience of a woman’s festival where there’s nary a man for a week (unless he’s sucking out the porta-potties in the middle of the night). This festival has been going on for 35 years. Women go onto the land each year, set up the plumbing, build the stages (four of them), lighting and support tents, set up the kitchens, cook for 3,500 to 10,000 other women. The logistics are amazing and we don’t need Orrin Hatch for a bit of it.

I didn’t write it off based on David. I wrote it off based on the entire premise that a first lady cares more about women than her husband’s latest candidacy. Sorry I come from a different place in this whole thing.

Although I cannot see myself ever attending a Women’s Conference, I wouldn’t write off the whole experience based on one speaker. Usually these events offer women a chance to network and attend workshops on a variety of topics like health, family and business. As for David’s appearance, I watched both segments posted here and granted, the kid is rough around the edges, but I was honestly impressed with his thought process and his use of the language. Considering he was basically unable to speak in front of an audience a little over a year ago, he’s come a long way. There is a lot behind those beautiful eyes.

We’re hoping his next single will be something from his Christmas album since it will be a while before his 3rd album comes out. There’s no word on it yet or which song it will be. It’s too early anyway to release a Christmas song on the radio. We’ll just have to wait and see.
