    “Salamat Po”

    hahahaha!! Awesome! Happy for the fans of both in Manila.

    LOL, I’m sure they’re booking their flights right now. Besides – international airfare can’t cost much more than bribing college kids for their tickets and making fake college id’s for 17 different universities.

    On a serious note – good for D & D. It must be fun to get to perform in all of these different places.

    Wackos don’t necessarily have to “follow” him (or Archie for that matter) anywhere. Unfortunately, plenty are in abundance in cyberspace.

    Purple, if you go to this we neeeeed pics, so jealous they ALL go there!!

  • weareallinnocent

    Aww, that’s cool.. I’m sure they’ll enjoy each other’s company again. :-)

  • Victoria

    Awww, the Davids back together again. Oh, how I miss Season 7…

    it will be interesting to see if cookà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s wacko fans follow him in the philippines.

    I hope not. Poor Cook. :down_tb:

  • cmom

    I was glad to read that David A. is bringing his whole band with him since they will be on their way back from the McFly concerts. I would love to see him and his band and Cook and his band at the same concert – they will have a blast.

  • sabby_rina

    Oh awesome! American Idol is like huge in the Philippines.

  • Keel

    So happy for our Pinoy friends! You guys have brought us so many great tidbits about both of the Davids and we really appreciate it. You guys really deserve this great treat and we know you’ll make them both feel very welcome and appreciated.

  • mac

    Hope they do some songs together. The one they did on the AI finale was great.

  • Michelle

    oh cute!!! love the coordinated vlogs, heh. The Davids pwn Season 8 :P

  • http://absinthedreamers.blogspot.com/ Starrlight

    Totally agree Michelle =)

  • AnoopFan

    Can Archie EVER talk without laughing? Im starting to wonder….

  • dante

    I love the David’s together – this is great!!!

  • abbysee

    The Davids pwn Season 8

    Sad but true so far.

  • Jabkmc

    Can Archie EVER talk without laughing?

    Yes, when he’s talking about a serious subject. But he absolutely can not talk without his hands. Nor can I. :smile1_tb: At least he doesn’t use sound effects like my younger brother does. :rolleyes_tb:

  • http://myspace.com/arcadata arca

    Awww – lil David made the effort to say some stuff in the local dialect!

  • Victoria

    The Davids pwn Season 8 :P

    They should be mentors. They could teach the kids a thing or two…

    But seriously, there are some times during Season 8 I would much, much rather watch Season 7 re-runs.

  • frogcooke

    Definately need some pics from this!

  • kimberann

    It’s the start of the worldwide domination. :jittery_tb:

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/iamthepurplewalrus purplesmile

    Purple, if you go to this we neeeeed pics, so jealous they ALL go there!!

    sumi, I am definitely going but I’m not sure how close I can get. This is, after all, not going to be one of those Idol “mall shows” (even though the venue is still practically a mall) we are used to, where the Idols are usually very accessible. I will do what I can, though. At the very least, I’ll point you to where the goodies can be found. And there will certainly be lots of them. ;)

    ETA: We do get a number of them Idols. Too bad our boy Castro has not been by, sumi. :p

  • SashaB

    I love the Davids. DC just shared in some UK artile how he values their special friendship or relationship.

    Seriously, Archie cracks me up. His vlog was FTW. What did Pauler once say last season? Some crazy ass shit about how she wanted to take his head off and hang in from her dashboard because he is just too damn adorable. He really is an awesome guy.

    And seriously, if any of those North American stalkers follow DC to Asia, well, then he needs to get more security and a US restraining order when he gets back.

  • frogcooke

    I just notice DA looks like he’s got bed head again haha

  • Victoria

    What did Pauler once say last season?

    “I want to squish you, squeeze your head off, and dangle you from my rear-view mirror!”

    Best quote of Season 7. :laugh_tb:

  • RV65

    “Hope they do some songs together. The one they did on the AI finale was great.”

    Knowing how Filipinos are in love with these two guys…Im sure they will “demand” for time together on stage…hopefully a duet….and yes Hero!…they sounded good together in this song….

  • Laurel

    LOL. FYI, it costs at least $1000 for a round-trip ticket between the U.S. and the Philippines, during these current peak months.

  • hardkandy

    Archie: Salamat po!

    Ahhhhh, sooooo cute! Love this boy! I am definitely going to this! I just hope I can get close tickets.

  • sunchick

    Best quote of Season 7.

    My favorite will always be “I was thinking Bob Marley!” :smoke_tb: Followed closely by Pauler’s gushing over David Cook’s “beautiful instrument.” *cough* :smile1_ee:

    The Davids pwn Season 8 :P

    I fourth that.

  • LK09

    LOL. FYI, it costs at least $1000 for a round-trip ticket between the U.S. and the Philippines, during these current peak months.

    That’s nothin’ for some of these people. One lady recently paid $13,000 for a dinner with David A and his family (total of 12 people). It all went to charity, but some of these people have a lot of money.

  • Suzanne

    Ahhhhh, sooooo cute! Love this boy! I am definitely going to this! I just hope I can get close tickets.

    And you’ll be bringing your camera with you, right? So you can upload some photos or, even better, video of the boys for all of us stuck back in the States?

  • SpenserJ

    LOL. FYI, it costs at least $1000 for a round-trip ticket between the U.S. and the Philippines, during these current peak months.

    Tee Hee – I’m guessing, scalped tickets + hotel + gas + food + fake id’s + diguises is probably pretty similar to that. So, don’t be surprised when the tards show up. Perhaps though, if they don’t already have them, they won’t be able to get passports in time. Or, maybe someone can make an anonymous report and get the crazy pack on the “no fly list” LOL.

    The Davids pwn Season 8 :P

    I fourth that.

    Aw, am I the only one who has love for season 8? I can’t help it – I love the cheesy show more than I love any of the contestants.

  • katymac

    LOL For a minute there I thought they were filming from the same bedroom (SCANDAL!) But then I noticed that the pictures on the wall were different.

  • hardkandy

    And youà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll be bringing your camera with you, right? So you can upload some photos or, even better, video of the boys for all of us stuck back in the States?

    Definitely. I just hope I can get a close enough view and I hope the audio is great even if it’s outdoors. This venue is not the greatest for taking pictures/videos, I hear from my friends who went to the Eraserheads concert a few weeks ago.

  • golcook

    Ohhh!!! The room where DC did this vblog is from The Borgata Hotel and Casino. The pictures on the wall, the lamps and the headboard are the same. SEE HERE A PIC OF THE FIORE SUITES

    So he taped this on Atlantic City.

  • Hoppy

    LOL. FYI, it costs at least $1000 for a round-trip ticket between the U.S. and the Philippines, during these current peak months.

    My friend is going to Manila about 6 days before this concert and her ticket cost about $2100. So yeah… that’s a LOT of money to shell out for some of those obsessives.

    I love David and David, especially together, but they’d have to be playing with Jesus and The Beatles (including the deceased ones) to get me to shell out 2 grand for a plane ticket.

  • Jabkmc

    ^^ Would Elvis tip you over the edge? heh

  • Lisa

    What did Pauler once say last season?

    à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“I want to squish you, squeeze your head off, and dangle you from my rear-view mirror!à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ 

    That is skeery cause Pauler’s stalker had a photo of Pauler hanging from “her” rear view mirror…….

  • jumpstart

    Thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s nothinà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ for some of these people. One lady recently paid $13,000 for a dinner with David A and his family (total of 12 people). It all went to charity, but some of these people have a lot of money.

    Amazing

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/iamthepurplewalrus purplesmile

    My attention was called to this, so just to clarify, the Davids’ concert(s) are not “mall shows” like those done by Elliott, Taylor, MJ. This is probably closer to the Daughtry concert (read: expensive tickets).

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/iamthepurplewalrus purplesmile

    I just hope I can get a close enough view and I hope the audio is great even if ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s outdoors. This venue is not the greatest for taking pictures/videos, I hear from my friends who went to the Eraserheads concert a few weeks ago.

    This is what the audio is like at the Journey concert also held at the MOA Grounds the Saturday before last. I understand this (Journey) concert area is different (smaller) from that where the Eraserheads performed. (The Davids could be performing here, depending on ticket sales.)

    Unfortunately, what could discourage some people from going to a concert held at this venue is that unless one is right up front, one is not very likely to get a good view (if at all) of the performers on stage. With the Eraserheads, it was alright (it was enough for most to be able to say “I was there!”), but those who want to see their Idols will have to shell out (a lot) and possibly queue early to get good positions. :s

    In my case, I’d probably be content to say “I was there.” Heh. :p

    That’s crazy. At least she did it for charity, unlike Jess & Co. who do it so they can feel ‘famous.’ I’m keeping my eye on DCO… it will be interesting to see if any of the crazies mention going to the Philippines.

  • Michelle

    Hey, despite the complaints I’m still watching! :D I just think we got an awesome top 2 last year. Who knows, maybe this year’s top 2 will be awesome as well.

  • lemvin05

    anyone knows the price of tickets? meet and greet please. LOL. hehehe
