David Archuleta – Zero Gravity – VIDEO

I like it. I think it should have made the album. IMO it’s better than someof the songs on there. The fact that he’s singing makes me think it will be released at some point, though.

I’ve watch this video so many time, I already know all the words. I really like it. If he doesn’t release it soon, maybe he’ll save it for the next album.

here is a better vid, awesome vid and sound, from Sayerville(not that the above vid is bad at all haha, both are really good):

Frog – I couldn’t get that stupid link to work on here either. haha! I tried and tried last night. I can see it, watch it, copy it, paste it, save it. But then when you click on it. IT DOES NOT WORK! It is EVIL I tell you! haha!

well.. that sucks… jab LOL
hmmmm yeah i can copy and paste it and it work…. lol clicking… no go… wth?!? LOL

the link to her channel…the vid is there…it’s really good

I was there! Less than 6 feet away from David on the venue floor w/ a group of other Fans of David bloggers……. WOO HOO! He really tore into this song, and brought it! The National was PACKED to the rafters, and the air was filled with lots of electricity and energy, and lots of screaming, passionate fans of David the whole night… he looked great, sounded great, flashed that megawatt smile the whole night as the sold out venue just soaked in everything he delivered… his touring band is one tight outfit, and you can tell they all have great chemistry w/one another – and lotsa love and respect for David…

Zero Gravity needs to be released - it’s been getting a great response, and it’s clear David really gets into singing it… He really used the stage well that night, and waved several times to us as he ventured over to the place we were standing… he is in his element live, and this song especially is the perfect vehicle to show he can deliver on uptempo, rock/pop grooves….

Wish I could see more shows on this tour, but most are all sold out now… Utah tix went on sale this morning and are all gone, so maybe next time David! Knock ‘em dead w/Zero Gravity in PA tonight!

This is better than half of the songs on his album. Badly done, Jive.

the link to her channelà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦the vid is thereà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s really good

:huh_tb:

:doh_tb:

when all else fails link to the channel hahaha

Oh…and YAY! She’s finally go the “One” medley up!

oohhh she does? awesome!

Zero Gravity is HOT HOT HOT! The fact that David co-wrote it makes it even more impressive.

C’mon Jive…let David release this!

This song is upbeat, uptempo, catchy and addictive, and it’s the kind of song many Idol watchers were convinced David couldn’t do by the time the show ended last year. He just comes alive when he’s performing that song in those videos, especially in Richmond and Sayreville. What were Jive thinking not including this song and more like it on the album? I really hope they re-consider. I really wouldn’t mind a re-release of the album with this song and a couple more. The other alternative is to wait for his second album with all new material and that seems like a long time off right now.

These are the lyrics posted in the other tour thread here from Snarkies. I tweaked them just a little but didn’t change any words.

Zero Gravity

Tell me what you did to me
Just underneath my feet
Didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t even notice we were miles above the ground
Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m not afraid of heights
We crashed into the sky
Didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t know that I could feel the way that I do now
Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m not asking for an explanation
All I know is that you take me away
And you show me how to fly

Nothing brings me down
When youà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re around
Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s like zero gravity
The world just disappears
When youà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re here
Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s zero gravity

When things get messed up
I lift my head up
And I get lost in the clouds
Thereà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s no sense of time with you around
Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s zero gravity

The ages fade away
Till thereà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s no more shades of gray
You only have to whisper anything at all
You opened up my eyes
You turn my lows to high
And thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s the only way that I know how to fall
Not gonna analyze or try to fight it
Donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t even care if it makes no sense at all
à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‹Cause with you I can fly

Nothing brings me down
When youà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re around
Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s like zero gravity
The world just disappears
When youà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re here
Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s zero gravity

When things get messed up
I lift my head up
And I get lost in the clouds
Thereà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s no sense of time with you around
Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s zero gravity
You make it
So easy
To just drift away
I canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t
Imagine
Being without you

Donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think about
Donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think about
Donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think about it
Donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think about
Donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think about it

Nothing brings me down
When youà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re around
Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s like zero gravity
The world just disappears
When youà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re here
Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s zero gravity

Nothing brings me down
When youà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re around
Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s like zero gravity
The world just disappears
When youà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢re here
Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s zero
Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s zero gravity

Co-written by David A and Mike K

Lol, no kidding. My daughter (HUGE David A fan) is skiing over in the Poconos today and the Cameleon is a funky little hall where you can get very close to the stage. I wonder how far Lancaster is from , and I wonder if her Daddy and big brother would tag along to see Archie live…

I have to say, I wasn’t one of the Archie fans during last season, but the PTB have really done right by him. This song is great for him and I’m impressed that he co-wrote it, he sounds wonderful!

This song is awesome. And the crowd reactions to it are amazing. David does seem to come alive when he performs it. It would be a perfect single. I hear jive execs have been at the shows. I hope they take note the songs David had a hand in writing truly are some of the best songs of all the ones he recorded, whether they made the album or not.

Btw I really really love the ending to My Hands

^^ Me too, Frog. I’m liking a lot of the new tweaks to the arrangements. And I can’t quit listening to his take on “One”. I want the whole dang song. Please, David. Put me out of my misery.

I want him to sing Love Song and Im Yours all the way through… :/ Kthx David.

My favorite song of Archie’s, by far! How awesome! Archie, I just became and even bigger fan! Why didn’t this song make the album? They need to put this on a movie soundtrack ASAP, so I can buy it! I hope Archie puts out more songs like this–I only liked 4 songs at most on his album. If his next album sounds more like this…

It’s been stuck in by head for two days lol. It seems to be one of David’s favorites too . Maybe the next album?

Well, I’m a Big Fan and like most of the songs on his album, but the melody for this one is SOOOOO catchy. Love that he has it in his set and hope it eventually gets recorded by David.

Why isn’t this on his album? It’s way better than some of the songs that did get put on.

Anyways, way to go Archie! His performing skills and stage presence have improved so much!

Hermy… its been stuck in my head too… Ive tried to pry it out.. smoke it out(not literally)… coax it out… threaten it with a pitchfork… and it keeps coming back…. It’s hopeless… LOL

LOL frog. Yeah, I was taking a break from studying when I first head it… bad idea lol. It’s really easy to memorize the words too

yeah it is easy to memorize, especially the chorus. I foundmyself humming it in the shower this morning…. LOL

I love this song too and wish it was on the album. I think it was a toss up between putting Zero Gravity and Your Eyes Don’t Lie on the album. A part of me is grateful it didn’t make it only because I wouldn’t have been introduced to my favorite on the album – YEDL. Still, I wish both were on there.

In watching these videos, I find David is looking so much older. His looks are really maturing. It’s been an interesting ride watching him transform from a shy 16 year old to a confident and handsome 18 year old.

jz, that’s one of the questions a lot of David’s fans have. David co wrote a number of songs and brought them to jive towards the end of the process of recording the album from what I understand. Jeff lobbied to get more of David’s songs on there, but they compromised and jive allowed two songs. Those two are altnoy and don’t let go. Jive has been really good to david and they’ve helped him have great success so far, so I hate to second guess them. But the fact is many of the songs that did not make the album, Somebody Out There, Zero Gravity, Works for Me, for example are just as popular if not more with the fans than the ones that made the cut. It’s a done deal at this point, but I think the quality of the songs David co wrote bodes very very well for future projects.

I’m really happy to see David showing such charisma in his performances. He seems to be loosening up more and more. And the band seems to be a great fit for him.

David got 2 slots on the album, and this one didn’t make it. And it’s too good to be a bonus track, so I agree with them not putting it there (I think Somebody Out There and Works For Me are too good to be bonus tracks too, but whatever). I’m pretty positive, given the reaction it’s gotten, that it’ll be released eventually.

djbell has crush up now too, http://www.youtube.com/user/djbell13

you can see the two girls on stage the whole time during the song, and he sings to them several times lol He’s all like jumping and hopping across the stage after the song. lol

I have a feeling the reason more of David’s songs couldn’t make the album was that Jive had already signed contracts with the writers/producers of many of the other songs, so it would not have been possible to change things up so late in the game. Still, if David got to pick 2 songs I would have gone with ALTNOY or Works for Me and Zero Gravity, rather than Don’t Let Go.

I heard a rumor that David will start working on his next album when he returns from Asia – does anyone know if this is true? It seems early to be working on a new album. But, we know he is contracted for a Christmas album so could this be what he would start working on?

I think Jive should consider putting out a “Deluxe” or “Reloaded” version of DATA, get rid of some of the filler, add in Works for Me, Somebody Out There, Zero Gravity, Waiting for Yesterday, and the Japanese Crush remix. OH – and wouldn’t a remix of Barriers by a hot producer like Timbaland be amazing? :smile1_tb:

I love Zero Gravity, but IÂ ´m still in love with My Hands and Barriers, and my favorite in the cd are Works For Me, Somebody Out There and ALTNOY… for me all this songs should have made it in to the album…IÂ ´m not that into TMH and Running but hey what do I know about choosing song for a cd…

Zero Gravity and Save the Day should be released soooooonnnnnnnnn!!!!

I think Jive should consider putting out a à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Deluxeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  or à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Reloadedà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  version of DATA, get rid of some of the filler, add in Works for Me, Somebody Out There, Zero Gravity, Waiting for Yesterday, and the Japanese Crush remix. OH – and wouldnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t a remix of Barriers by a hot producer like Timbaland be amazing?”

^^Has this been done by any artist before? just curious…im all for it

Man, killer song! And I’d like to point out how comfortable David looks up there. I can’t wait for his second album…this is just the start for him and I can’t wait for more!

Oh Wow! FOD is saying that the band IS going with David to Asia and the UK. That is so awesome. And they’ve got a barebones MySpace page up for DavidArhuletaBand

http://www.myspace.com/davidarchuletaband

Yay! I’m so happy to hear that. I hope they can work out a way to stay together and still pursue their other projects. I am so totally in love with the band. FOD has some great new pics up of the guys in the band also.

Zero Gravity and Save the Day should be released soooooonnnnnnnnn!!!!

I’m really liking Save the Day right now as well. When I first heard it, I wasn’t sure and then it grew on me really fast. I’ve had ZG in my head a lot but there have been many other times this week where this other song is stuck in my head and I realize it’s STD (heh).

I think Jive should consider putting out a à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Deluxeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  or à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Reloadedà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  version of DATA, get rid of some of the filler, add in Works for Me, Somebody Out There, Zero Gravity, Waiting for Yesterday, and the Japanese Crush remix. OH – and wouldnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t a remix of Barriers by a hot producer like Timbaland be amazing?

This idea really works for me.

The band really seems to like and enjoy working with David. I love how they’ve even started blogging for the fans. They might as well embrace the Archie crazyness!! ha!!! Cuz it ain’t going awayeeyayeeya!! Sorry. Just dorked out.

^^Has this been done by any artist before? just curiousà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦im all for it

Yes, some of the biggest recent pop albums were done this way. For example, Rihanna’s “Reloaded” version of her CD is the one with like 8 or 9 huge hits on it.

I would hope by now the people at Jive have realized that they had a very limited idea of the type of artist he could be (teen pop singing love songs). He is a great singer, can sing such a variety of styles, and some of his best songs are those he co-wrote himself. He has so much potential.

hahaha Rufus. I think the band has been good for him too. He’s been loosening up even over the course of 3 shows hahaha. They all seem to have alot of energy too.

Thanks for posting the vid, MJ!

I’m still baffled by the fact that ‘Zero Gravity’ is nowhere to be found on the album, or even the bonus tracks. I hope Jive isn’t planning to have another artist record it. I mean, David would still get credit for writing it, kinda, but it would be nice to have his version.

I love Save The Day, too. Lol, I’ve given up on typing the acronym, though, for obvious reasons.

Tatiana, I can’t help but think Jive must be pleased. They’ve been attending some of the concerts, which have been complete homeruns. The shows are selling out. Tons of people are showing up to every cd signing, radio appearance, etc. All the cds sold out (500) at the cd signing yesterday, for example. I do think jive has made some mistakes along the way. But I’m hopeful this has been a learning process for them, too, in terms of David’s potential. There is too much talent there to just let this be a one time teen idol thing. I hope they see that.

Well, I kinda see how Zero Gravity might not have fit with the rest of the album. I think Jive was set to make his first album a pop one and maybe let David try some of his own stuff for the second. I hope so, because I love all the songs he’s written/co-written.

I’m so happy the band will stay with him for the UK and Asia. I looove them <3

Houston – I hope so! My only concern is Radio. It doesn’t seem David is being embraced there, unless the song is a monster hit that can’t be ignored (like Crush was). The public is going to have to push radio to play David. I think these PD’s think they are “too cool for school” and many aren’t giving him a chance. However, if the song is good enough they will be pushed to play. The songs have to be amazing. IMO, Zero Gravity would have been a smash second single.

Thanks for answering my question, houstonrufus and soundscene (at the exact same time too, lol)!

Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s a done deal at this point, but I think the quality of the songs David co wrote bodes very very well for future projects.

Great point. I’m expecting to see more of David’s own songs on his next album. His potential as an artist has only increased since American Idol, which is a rare and wonderful thing.

I know. I’ve been talking about the radio thing with friends. I had hoped Crush would have opened the door more, but it seems there are still some significant challenges to marketing David in certain areas, radio included. ALTNOY just hasn’t seemed to take off like I thought it would. Zero Gravity would have been a great choice, I agree.

Yeah, I thought ALTNOY was a great choice at the time too. But like you, I think I was assuming he had broken down the door of Radio with “Crush.” To think of all those promos he did, and none of those Florida stations are playing his song – ugh!! :wallbash_tb:

lol at this,

from twitter: 50 Fans of david archuleta are staying at my hotel…when one or more of them are in the same room the volume level quadruples.

^^Has this been done by any artist before? just curiousà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦im all for it

It has been done before with other JIVE artists, so they could do the same with Archie. I don’t know what they were thinking by leaving Zero Gravity off the album, but I would love to see them re-release his album, include ZG as one of the tracks and release it as a single in the summer. I think it’s a great song and could be another potential hit for him if they were to give it a shot.

lol at this,

Yeah, I had a vocal contingent of them behind me at Idols Live last year. Crazy loud.

Frog – a comment on another board – “My 20 somethinà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ sons have their friends over plus girlfriends (21 – 25 age rangeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’some GFs are younger)this afternoon (swimming and grilling) – most home from college this weekend for an event at their High School later this evening.

LOL jab thats cool!

^^^ Just so people know before clicking, that’s Don’t Let Go from last night.

Yeah, he really gets into DLG. Tbwy was posted up too

ETA:
someone pointed out he put in like a line saying “and i know how to save a life”, at 2:39 on dlg

Wow, that don’t let go is pretty intense.

ETA:
someone pointed out he put in like a line saying à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“and i know how to save a lifeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ , at 2:39 on dlg

I was just watching the video and I totally caught that. Hee. Why did he do that? Well, he can ad-lib a new line into DLG if he wants since he wrote it. lol Very passionate, intense performance too. I have a new appreciation for that song now.

Works For Me from sayerville is now up

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTLEtyPpR7k

holy guacamole

Pass the chips, would ya? :gulp_ee:

Jab, shouldnt that be the ‘spicy nachos’ lol lol lol

haha! Yes Frog…spicy nachos.

Dang! Zero Gravity is catchy! Love it. And that note in To Be With You is just, intense. wow. He gets so into the music. This kid (or adult now, adult kid?) is un.freaking.real.

Thanks for posting the videos MJ The sound and vid quality is great! Now if only there were a way to filter out the bloody caterwauling…

I watched Archie’s American Idol videos last night and couldn’t help but laughing so hard. There was this kid who couldn’t even lift (?) up his legs during his performance of With you. And now this handsome young man who totally knows how to work the stage. Awesome. I am so sick with this year’s format to forget that I used to love Archie and American Idol so so much.

Btw, I’m from Vietnam, so, sorry for any mistakes I made. I don’t use English on a daily basis here .

It has been done before with other JIVE artists, so they could do the same with Archie. I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t know what they were thinking by leaving Zero Gravity off the album, but I would love to see them re-release his album, include ZG as one of the tracks and release it as a single in the summer. I think ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s a great song and could be another potential hit for him if they were to give it a shot.

I’m with you on this. Chris Brown (Jive artist) also did this and Forever was a single added on his re-release.

Jesse McCartney’s album Departure is being re-released in April with additional tracks and the feat. Ludacris remix of his third single “How Do You Sleep?”, and the new remix is what’s being used on a lot of CHR and rhythmic leaning stations. We know Leavin’ was a huge hit for him but his second single not so much. His third single is doing much better.

If Jive opts to it this way for David, it’s been done successfully several times.

It’s really good, catchy tune, it should have made it on the album. And nice performance too.

You know, don’t let go is not my favorite from the CD, but I see now what people have been saying about the live performance. It is intense.

(He really jumps directly into the next song though. I think if he came up with a few anecdotes to use to chat with the crowd, to space out the songs more, might be easier on his voice.)

I like Zero Gravity quite a bit. It’s so weird how they pick songs for a CD. Frankly, although I’ve come to love the songs, some of the songs sound quite the same as each other.

Maybe in time, David will learn to tell his stories — he’s young. And I do remember his vocal coach saying that talking is much harder on the voice than singing — so maybe that’s part of the reason for the long set list.

I don’t really have anything else to add except….I LOVE ZERO GRAVITY!

It’s stuck in my head. I find myself singing it here and there while doing housework or driving or whatever…….it just keeps popping up in my head, lol. I memorized it accidentally I guess…..how does that happen anyway?, lol.

ETA:
someone pointed out he put in like a line saying à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“and i know how to save a lifeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ , at 2:39 on dlg

Isn’t that a line from The Fray’s “How to Save a Life”? Or am I just confused? Lol. Either way, loved that little improv. Loved that whole video, actually. I found myself holding my breath for parts of it – it was that intense.

Isnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t that a line from The Frayà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“How to Save a Lifeà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ?

Yep. Strange thing for him to add in there, but it worked, I guess. Makes me wonder why he decided on that particular line, from that particular song…

Zero Gravity is MUCH better than most of the stuff that made the album. I would download that one.

Thanks for the link to Don’t Let Go. That’s the Archie song that I did buy and he really gave a great (but not hot! ew!) performance of it.

^^ The rumor I heard was that a fan gave him a card saying she loved the Fray and he should check them out. Either she put him in that mindset, or he was answering her in song. “And I Know ‘How To Save A Life’” LOLOL!

Well, He likes the Fray I think too. And he’s a walking jukebox hahaha It wouldnt surprise me that he’d stick a line in a song or something.. lol

Cute vid of David taking a pic with the richmond crowd. Yes, he had the drummer take the pic and he gave the peace sign, haha

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsaFa6U7e_4

Zero GRavity from tonight, at the Chameleon Club in Lancaster, PA. :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Di4fp5w7yY

Oh btw thought Id mention this, one of the snarkies tossed a potato on stage at David lol lol

theres pics up, heres what they wrote… lol

OMGGG. Palak threw the potato on stage and it hit David. And he picked it up and was like “What is this? A potato.” hahahah And then she still had three potatoes, so she just set them on the stage and David said, “Where are all these potatoes coming from?” So they yelled to him that there was a note and he said he’d read it later. “David, you’re our little potato.” Or something like that, hahaha, I’m not exactly sure what it said, but it was something like that. And Bri got it on camera. YES. MISSION COMPLETE. I’m dying of laughter. OH! And it was right before he sang You Can.

And I bought David his beets today. Not fresh beets, unfortunately. They were out. But muahaha.

Some good pics up from tonight, here at snarkies

OMG, David is getting lose! I knew he was talented on idol. I knew he had one of the best voices I’ve heard in years. I had no idea he would have this much presense on stage. It’s as though he’s grown even from the idol tour. I love Zero Gravity. Makes me want to dance too!

I am a little concerned about throwing things at David, especially things like potatoes that could potentially hurt. I remember Carrie Underwood talking about how she almost got hurt by a weighted-down carebear that was thrown onstage. LOL Except, it’s not so funny if a person really gets hurt.

When I saw him on Thursday I was thinking that it was great that the Jive peeps were there but also wished that some of these asses DJ’s saw him perform. I think that David would also benefit from having a professional publicist who could guide him thru public appearances. He is adorable in those radio interviews but often comes across as a young kid and at least the DJ’s in my area say he is only good for Disney. He is too nice and too clean and not controversial enough. Radio has now become TMZ-like to attract more listeners from some imaginary target demos. Playing stuff by a Mormon kid who doesn’t even drink coffee is not cool enough for their narrowly defined format. Too bad that success is still measured by radio play. Who listens to radio anymore?!

I almost never listen to the radio lol, only occasionally in my car, which isnt a lot.

They were going to roll the potato on the stage, but ended up lobbing it… lol

POTATOOOOS

Thanks for the pic, frogcooke. All I can think is, “SECURITY”! Oh, and I notice David’s nice shoes. I wonder if he wears a new pair every time he performs. He needs a shoe endorsement.

I think Archie got tagged on AI with the reputation of singing slow ballads. The folks at Jive obviously had no clue just how good he is with these mid and up-tempo songs like Works For Me and Zero Gravity.

You’d think Jive would have done a few focus groups with Archie fans since none of the execs themselves are teenage girls.

Anya, currently for my 30 minute drive to and from work, I might tune in to 3 or 4 local pop/rock radio stations in the greater Toronto area but if none of them are playing anything interesting (which is most of the time), I’ll switch to my MP3 CD instead to listen to songs by Archie, Levi Kreis, Jason Mraz and Beecake. At some point, I’ll add Kelly’s new CD into the mix.

when i watch this vid…david singing ‘one’…which is incredible and ‘gotta be’ and ‘love song’ which he obviously has a blast singing, it really makes me realize that AI is just so ridiculous with their theme weeks. If the contestants could sing the songs they love and do such a great job singing…it would be a whole different show.

oh course shebee… but then it wouldnt be AI without the crappy songs they make them sing

Lys and all…….Jive has already let someone else record Zero Gravity!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD3SMAXfajw

I love Zero Gravity! I’ve got it stuck in my head since first I heard it. Jive! get it released pls!

I wish David can sing ZG when he goes on AI lol. oh well I hope when he does go on AI he will sing the 3rd single hopefully YEDL

So is it confirmed then that the album release in UK is now May 11? Any chanZero Gravity will slip in there? I guess they are keeping it for the 2nd album but imo that is taking too long.

LVanna — I think they were, at one point, shopping ZG around. Some of the more internet-savvy fans had heard this demo. Now that David is singing it on tour, I’m think he may just keep it. Which he should, IMO. I love his interpretations of his own songs, this one most definitely included.

Thanks for the videos. I am of the opinion that throwing potatoes at David isn’t funny.

One of the snarkies girls just explained that the note with one of the potatoes read something like, “You’re our little potato, but you are not small potatoes.”

But, yeah, I hope this doesn’t start a trend or security will start checking for vegetables at the door. (LOL — sorta.)

I’m calling this tour the Zero Gravity Tour. love this song.

Yeah seen that ZG demo back in Jan the time Snarky Archies interviewed Mike K.

I don’t love each and every song on the album, but I do love everything that David had a hand in writing (with the exception of ALTNOY, which I like but don’t love). Zero Gravity included.

It bodes well.

Check out these pics from Sayreville (my concert). You could touch the love going between the stage and the crowd.

Whew, you had me scared for a moment there, LVanna. Fortunately, like Kathy pointed out, it’s just a demo (and hopefully it’ll stay that way until David himself records it). Around the time ZG leaked, there was another demo floating around, too – Fighting For You – that David co-wrote. Anyone else remember that one? I thought it had a lot of potential.

^^ Yeah. I snagged it before it went poof! heh

It’s a power ballad and the demo was recorded by a female. It was also a DA and Mike Krompass collaboration. But I understand that both songs WERE recorded by DA. They just had the demos recorded so they could shop them around after Jive passed on them.

Great, glad to hear that Jackie Boyz version was just a demo. It would really be a shame if David’s people let ZG get away! All of us on here just love it by David so think of how many more ppl in the world will love it too. Someone needs to get to Jive regarding releasing this by David. Hopefully they may already have plans and are just waiting for the right time?

Just watched the videos from earlier tonight. If the screams get any louder, David won’t be able to be heard. Unbelievable.

Zero Gravity from Allentown, he’s been getting into it more lol Hopping up and down and spinning around lol

David’s tour has sold out in 19 of 21 venues – That’s astounding, and deserves it’s own Headline – hint hint MJ

Tempe AZ and Reno NV are reportedly both thisclose to selling out… the demand to see him is high, and he is delivering consistently great performances on tour that speak to his ability to deliver in studio, and on the road – Come on Tempe and Reno – make it 21 of 21 this week!

The reason Reno is so slow is that SF Bay Area stations have never even played Crush – even the one with Ryan Seacrest on it. They need to do some marketing here! I would like Jive to even buy some promo spots on a couple of these stations just so people who were not Idol fans could get to hear his voice.
