I didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t know that Dean was part of the label. I remember some of the stuff he said during the AI seasonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦or some of the stuff that was attributed to him.

Gingerly, I think I get where you’re coming from. I’m remembering something about a Fox interview attributed to that Dean guy. At the time I did not form a very high opinion of him because it seemed kind of meanspirited towards Cook, but I don’t know if he made a retraction or was misquoted or something. The stuff about Archuleta getting label interest before the top ten is definitely more fodder for the grassy knoll, but I doubt it would hurt or help his career either way. Nobody outside of the AI bubble has probably ever heard of Dean whatshisface.

That commercial is the dorkiest thing ever, and I love it! Do we know if David is also going to be a part of the show itself?

Cook plus Best Week Ever staff=dorky goodness. Also, hollogram Cookie >>>> hollogram Princess Leia>>>>hologram CNN correspondents. He was “nominated” for Best Year Ever, and since I’m pretty sure he can take Cloris Leachman, I imagine he’ll be part of the show in some way. :tongue1_tb:

May, thank you so much for posting the link to the David Hologram! Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s fantastic!! lol!

Thank you for this comment, tinydcfan, I totally missed the original post until reading that. Thank you to May as well!

HERE’s David with Santa Claus.

BTW, I love how the girls are screaming for him to sing O Holy Night and heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s like, à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“er, how about Silent Night.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  Guess he didnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t want to sing OHN twice the same night. lol.

O Holy Night was sung in the VIP lounge. The people who were there had to pay extra. I think David wanted to keep that experience for them special, so that’s probably he chose not to sing it again during the outdoor event.

I just watched Imagine and Crush this morning. They were uploaded at Snarky’s late last night. He never ceases to impress!

The Headlines thread is for the use of fans of ALL Idols, and for all news and rumors floating around in Idol land.

DON’T attempt to dictate the conversation in these threads. DON’T tell other posters what to post. DON’T start fan wars by baiting posters who aren’t fans of your favorite Idol.

If your post was edited, pay particular attention to my warning….

I guess I just find what Dean says more propaganda than newsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

Propaganda is news especially when it comes to Entertainment “news” (and business news. Seriously, that section of the paper is mostly re-writes of company propaganda). A huge portion of entertainment articles come from the label’s public relation press releases. Sometimes, those very press releases are published in the headlines section. If that’s not propaganda, I don’t know what is. Most of the subsequent Idol interviews are set up by the PR guys and the Idols are given talking points. Sounds like “propaganda” to me.

Dean is a bit of a blabbermouth, but inside sources are generally considered news (from Kat’s mom to the infamous “Chris Insider” to Blake’s bandmates/dad/aunt to Cookie’s brother to Dean-the-hairdresser to Dean-the-vocal-coach). Sure, insiders are more likely to give the good news than the bad, but I’m not sure how that differs from the label PR’s department except that insiders aren’t PR professionals and are more likely to give us the juicy bits.

If MJ waited for the official press release to find out who the top 24 for Idol were, we’d get the news when it airs on TV.

Dean may find himself on the outside if he keeps this up and he may not be doing any favours to Archie, but I think it qualifies as news. That said, MJ is the final arbitrator on that subject on this site.

Now for the serious part, you donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t see it like something bad, but maybe is my work experience the one thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s tell me that every conversation between two part involved in a negotiation should be confidential, is ethics and according to my previous boss there is nothing worst in the world that a professional that can keep quiet… literally…

Having said that, I have no problem with Dean talking about David is voice, or telling us stories from the past, but when he start talking about things that concert David  ´s career, right now, I would prefer is they use a official channel, that what an artist is suppose to do, thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s one of the reason they hired management, so that they know when to let certain information let out… if David wanted us to know about the tour, he have has a thousand of opportunities to talk about the it himself, in almost every interview he has done recently the tour question appear, he writes blogs, he le us message on our phones , so is David doesnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t tell us I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think Dean should be doing either…

About the other details he giving us, I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t you guys but here in Latin America we have a said that goes à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“A lo pasado pasadoà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ , and ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s mean that things that below in the past should be leave that way, what use we have in knowing that David was getting record offers since Top Ten, certainly right now that wonà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t help him with his career now so for me that kind of information sound pretentious and useless, and it wont help David record anther album is things doesnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t go the way it is suppose whit this album, knots on woodà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ same as the fact that he David hadnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t listen to à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“ADIPà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  until 2 days before ha sang ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ whatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s the point in let in that kind of information outà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

As I said maybe is me being cynical, maybe is me taking works ethics to serious, but for now I would rather that David his family and friends will use the professional channels to release information about Davidà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s career, IMHOà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦.

More David and the Osmondsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦.

David and a little bellà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦ is too bad that I ´m smiling like an idiot to my laptop for this video, he is just so cute!!!!!

Mary did you know

David’s fidgetiness was so cute during Silver Bells. And he outsung all of those Osmonds in Mary Did You Know.

ETA: Here are some professional photos of David at the Tree Lighting concert. He looks really nice.

BTW, I love how the girls are screaming for him to sing O Holy Night and he’s like, “er, how about Silent Night.” Guess he didn’t want to sing OHN twice the same night. lol.

Silent NIght – Gah!

He is opinionated but I think that he is acting with the Archuleta’s blessing or he would be cut off at the knees to any access with David. Saying that there are talks for David opening for Chris Brown isn’t self serving or propaganda, it’s just speculative, and it also is like a trial balloon for the fans to see if this is something that might create a good kinda buzz. What does Dean get out of it? It’s he’s wrong, he’s already said it’s not written in stone. If he’s right, then they will want more info in the future.

I am always interested in what Dean says because he’s an insider and that is one of the things that fans like, is to think that they may get a little tidbit of info before the general public. Nothing bad about that imho.
