Syesha Mercado, David Archuleta and David Cook – Glendale AZ – Photos

damn, syesha looks hot. archie’s suit is awful.

and cook is just. GAH. COOOOOOOK.

What the hell is Archie wearing? Syesha is STUNNING. I want to buy a notebook and scribble “I heart Cookie” all over it in glitter.

Wow. Syesha looks Whitney-ish.

Archie looks adorable and the suit’s not that bad. Syesha’s workin’ the hair, you go girl!!!!

Cookie changed clothes?

^ For Cook, I think he changed clothes between his 5 sets and the final group number. He looks and sounds like a real rockstar!

I liked the picture of Archie on the piano.

Never seen Syesha with this hair before, but I think it suits her.

They all look incredible. And Happy. Like stars! Rainbows, puppies and glitter. LOL!

Syesha is just gorgeous! Cookie is well just….THUD!

When did Cookie change clothes? Between his set and the group number, or sometime during his set?
OMG, I love him even more now than I did before. Is that even possible? The videos, the pictures… It’s too much! How I hope we’ll get tons more from each and every venue…
GUH!!!

Am I the only one who hates Syesha with a wig? I love her natural hair curly and straight, but the wig is so distracting.

Don’t mind the jacket on Archie, although it is a bit lounge-singer-ey.

And Wow! to the pictures of Cookie! Drool…

Ok, so Archie’s suit isn’t that great…..but i doubt he cares, and i really don’t either. i love the picture of him on the piano. And syesha looks beautiful!
i can’t wait to see them all on tour!

Cook is eh :/But Archie looks damn gorgeous!!!!! Who cares about the suit it doesn’t matter because hes still smokin HOT and he sounded INCREDIBLE! LOL

Archie looks okay to me. The jacket could go, but the tee underneath looks okay.

I’m taking it Cookie stripped off his outer jacket. Were there fangirly screams when this happened?

Oh, and Syesha. Pretty girl, but I prefer her hair natural. Seems to fit her better. I wonder how much of a say she has in it. I remember TPTB were not so thrilled with Pickler when she chopped off her hair after her elimination and she had to wear extensions on tour.

Yeah Erennick, I’m with you…not diggin the weave. It’s not that it looks that bad, it’s just that she has GREAT hair. Oh…now that I’m thinking on it, she’s probably protecting her GREAT hair by not having it styled and heated and futzed with every night…

I remain, as always, unmoved by anything Archie. Not good, not bad, just nuthin’

And David…

Maybe you guys can help me decide something. When David and I marry — should I just take Cook or should I hypenate?

I read an interview where Archie said he didn’t care for the outfit – but the wardrobe person insisted he needed something to stand out on the big stage. I’m betting Archie’s own instincts would have been better.

Am I the only one who hates Syesha with a wig? I love her natural hair curly and straight, but the wig is so distracting.

Agreed. Her natural ‘fro is very cute on her and I do like the shoulder length straight style. This hairstyle does nothing for her, at all. I am surprised most here seem to like it.

What I can see of her dress looks gorgeous.

.

I read that too, Jan, and I can totally understand why Archie would have preferred something else. It could have at least been something “hip” looking. Instead he looks like the ring master of Ringling Bros’ circus!!

I think Syesha was channeling Beyonce with the straight hair–not sure if I like it. I agree, it’s distracting. Speaking of distracting, those hairs plastered to Cook’s forehead drive me craaazzyy!

DC looks so effin’ gorgeous he takes my breath away…truly.

DA is cute but he looks like a lounge singer in that horribly fugly jacket…what the fuck were they thinking?

Syesha looks beautiful but agree that she looks better with her natural hair, which really really suits her.

Syesha’s makeup and hair is lookin a touch drag queenish to me. I just looked above me – it is a wig? No wonder – she needs to do the natural look. The dress is lovely and the girls are well represented though (I am back I cant stay away, sorry work)

Anyone know if they have a chance to change hair and make-up throughout the tour? Archie’s jacket is ridiculous and he doesn’t like it, Syesha probably doesn’t like her hair either. I hate when other people think they know what’s best for a person.

Okay, what the FUCK is with all the glitter this season? Jeez. *shoots daggers at KLC*

I could do without Archie’s weird jacket and those 15 original hairs glued to DC’s face (they drive me crazy too, gumby. lol), but I do think Syesha looks gorgeous, even with the new hair/wig. I can’t remember her having too many fashion flops this season — if any, really. She could probably waffle-iron her hair and wear a burlap sack and still make it look chic.

OMG COOK IS EFFING GORGEOUS ADLJFAS;LDKJF.

Am I the only one who hates Syesha with a wig? I love her natural hair curly and straight, but the wig is so distracting.

You are not the only one. Like my good friend PJ, I much prefer Syesha with her natural hair.

I’m with Sumidol on the drag queen vibe. Not a flattering look IMO.

Archie’s jacket is a bit “different” but it’s his style, a bit theatrical.

Syseha is stunning but I too like her natural curly hair.

If memory serves me right, I think they all change their clothes quite often during the show.

Cook looks yummy!

Syesha has natural beauty…she doesn’t need hair pieces or over the top make-up. I’m not sure about Archie’s look…it’s not bad but it’s just idk weird? and Mr. Cook…DAYUMMMM. he looks as good as he sounds.

Lord A Weber will be tut tutting. Little D, OPEN YOUR EYES!! :cheese1_ee: They look good, but I am a bit iffy about DA jacket too…

Anyone know if they have a chance to change hair and make-up throughout the tour?

Elle, I was wondering if they read the Forums or reviews. There needs to be some minor changes made, but these are really great photos.

yeah but..

America voted. And the ballots are in. And the natural Syesha with the short afro would have been goners shortly after she made the top 10. Syesha was in the bottom two after she sang ‘If I Were Your Woman’ for heavens sake. And that is when her hair was the most natural.
When she straightened her hair, and softened her image, her popularity rose. Obviously not Syesha’s choice, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
And once she steps out of the stage character, the natiural afro returns. As does another character but that is another story.

Archie looks like he is in the Ringling Bros. circus. Who dressed him? Oh yeah JeffA did. How could I forget?

“Syesha has natural beautyà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦she doesnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t need hair pieces or over the top make-up. ”

There you go thats what Im saying – “if it aint broke dont fix it”. Syesha tell them to stay away from your pretty face with the spatula and wigs.

Great photos, MJ. Thanks for posting them. Everyone looks great. Jan, I also read that blog where Archie said he didn’t like the jacket. What are these wardrobe people thinking putting him in something like that? My guess is that he’s probably too nice to tell them to shove it up their you-know-whats. Unfortunately, he really needs to do just that.

I think Donnie Osmond is missing a jacket from the 80s and Archie is wearing it.

I’ll be in SF next week and will be seeing the idols (and stalking Cook and Jason) on Tuesday night. Will let you know how it was when I get back. Also going to see Stevie Wonder on Saturday night and am secretly hoping I will run into Elliott, Stevie’s biggest fan!!

In fairness, according to the L.A. Times blog, Archie didn’t pick his outfit. Someone from wardrobe did. The article states that Archie didn’t seem to like it either.

Syesha’s weave/wig/whateva is on her head looks OK, but I, too, think she looks cuter with her natural hair.

Haaate Archie’s jacket. Glittery piping? Really? Was that ever fashionable? Otherwise he looks fine, though. I am pretty neutral about Archie; didn’t love or hate him on the show, so I’m not going to start now, lol.

Cook looks like Cook. He was always my second-favorite, so he’s all good in my book.

Seems like the format is pretty straight forward. Last year we got all sorts of costume changes and choreography. We even had Blake in disguise! Here I see Cook changes clothes once. Does anyone else change clothes or are they all in the same outfit the whole time?

I don’t think Syesha has much of a say. I doubt Syesha likes her hair either. It seemed like whenever her hair was at it’s natural state she ended up in the bottom 2. Then again everytime her hair was natural, she was either 1st or 2nd…(deadly combination) But like J.S.G. said, you gotta do what you gotta do. I would love to see her on her own tour.

Archuleta’s eye’s are closed

Looks like Cook bought a nice watch with that signing bonus

Syesha is a beautiful young woman, Archie is, well, Archie. But sorry, Cook is no way no how gorgeous – or even good looking, IMHO.

I prefer Syesha’s hair natural as well. The thing with natural hair is that in that temperature and humidity the hair gets REALLY frizzy, or really stringing depending on the texture of the hair. Therefore the wig is something that can be controlled. She didn’t like her dress either. Said it didn’t fit well. So she and Archie were evidently overruled. Hopefully Archie can chuck the jacket.

Long-time lurker, first-time poster, but had to sign up now that the tour has commenced!

I agree with the reaction to much of the wardrobe decisions, but as far as make-up goes, don’t forget we’re looking at close-ups, and the make-up was designed to be seen by people up in the bleachers. It’s hard to do that in a way that isn’t going to seem harsh up close.

Re Archie’s jacket, the kid is freakin’ adorable; I think now would be a good time to assert himself with the “wardrobe mistresses” and demand a suit more along the lines of that hot thing Joe Jonas was wearing on Idol Gives Back. Yeah, I get that Archie needs something dramatic to make him stand out on that tiny stage, but channeling Wayne Newton is not the way to make that happen. Still thought he looked beautiful though!

Ah, Cookie. (Sigh.) Yeah, his hair can take on a plastered look when he’s performing, but that’s what happens when you perspire, and anybody working that hard is going to perspire under all those lights. Not going to fault him for the fact his hair is thinning on top any more than I’m going to fault Syesha for having naturally curly hair. They’re both gorgeous and they’ll work out the kinks (hah!) in hair, make-up & wardrobe decisions, as the tour moves on. (I hope!)

Thank you, MJ, for this treasure trove of photos, etc.

Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m taking it Cookie stripped off his outer jacket. Were there fangirly screams when this happened?

I think he actually put it on, because during Hello he had the vest, but no jacket, and that was his opening number.
Gotta say, you don’t see it here, but my favorite part about David C’s wardrobe? The pants. OH man, he should never wear any other pair. Srsly.
*fans self, goes back to watch the videos again*

eek, Archie’s jacket! Elton John called and he wants it back!
How can wardrobe be so cruel to such a nice kid?

Hi, BootStar. I see your (sigh) and raise it.

Gotta say, you donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t see it here, but my favorite part about David Cà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s wardrobe? The pants. OH man, he should never wear any other pair. Srsly.
*fans self, goes back to watch the videos again*

Amen Jolene…He wears the hell out of those pants…they look good from the back and from the front.

David Cook = Sex

That man makes me weak.

I don’t understand why Syesha is wearing that wig. It’s not even a good wig. I like her hair the way it is.

Archie’s outfit is a fail. What year do they think this is? He needs to stand up for himself and say he is not going for the Taylor Hicks broadway look!

Syesha is a beautiful young woman, Archie is, well, Archie. But sorry, Cook is no way no how gorgeous – or even good looking, IMHO.

I’m with you chewsday. I guess beauty is truly in the eyes of the beholder. I like DC fine but don’t see him being good looking at all IMO. Now Taylor on the other hand…..

I guess beauty is truly in the eyes of the beholder. I like DC fine but donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t see him being good looking at all IMO. Now Taylor on the other handà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦..

See, this is exactly the thing – beauty is indeed a matter of taste, and is completely subjective. I find DC to be effin’ gorgeous, and sexy as hell, but I know that MMV. I don’t mind that not everyone perceives him like that, because –
1. it makes it more likely that he will attract male fans too, who may be reluctant to follow a “pretty boy”.
2. It makes it a little harder to claim he only won because of fangirls falling over themselves due to his appearance.
3. It’s mostly his talent which makes him sexy. The makeover only goes so far, but with the stage presence and charisma? Wow.
For me, that is, YMMV indeed.

I dont think Syeshas HAIR got her into the bottom three. Towards the end they always give the Idols makeovers and things. Her talent not her new hairstyle is what got her into the top three I would think. Gorgeous girl – definitely under that getup.

Ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s mostly his talent which makes him sexy. …….but with the stage presence and charisma?

See? And to me. that’s exactly what Cookie and Taylor share. But, I’m with hicksaholic. I’ll take Taylor’s looks anyday! (Although Cookie does have a killer smile!)

I’ll be buying the music both of them produce though!

Cook better hope he doesn’t have too much in common with Taylor although I see some similarities. Cook will need alot of male fans as that’s what usually gives rockers their careers. He’ll need more fans who don’t care about how “hot” he is. Good luck Cookie.

About the wardrobe and hair issues – They’ll be getting feedback, that’s for sure. But it’s the stylist who needs to hear about it.

David Archuleta = Pure Love

:wub_tb:

Do not like Sy’s hair at all. I prefer the way her hair was at the auditions. I see she’s got the Mctata’s going on too.

I’m a Cook fan and a Taylor fan and I made a list of things I noticed they have in common. !. Both need to feel a vibe to connect with a song 2. Both sing with lots of passion 3. Both own the stage when performing 4. The camera loves them and they love it back 5. Both had prior self produced albums. 6.Both had a younger brother who played a part in them trying out for Idol. 7. Both aspire to be working musicians 8.Both play instruments and write music. 9. Both were active in sports and still remain fans 10. Both like to wear boots and well fitting jeans 11.Both had divorced parents (Cooks seem to have handled things better) 12.Both had wanted to be a garbage man at a very early age.(how cute). I think the passion they perform with makes them sexy and Taylor has the most expresive eyes and David C has great lips. I think it’s time to end my list as I may be getting carried away and become fangirly.

Great post JoJosie I had no idea that had so much in common!

Also I know this can’t be right but when I see YMMV all I can think of is You Make Me Vomit.

Sorry they had so much in common

im not sure where to post this but this is the closing group number (don’t stop the music):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFQP6Jvsl08

Thanks for these great pics MJ!
Ummm have you all seen the pic floating around of the two Davids doing handstands today? LOL I don’t know about those two.

I love the two David’s. Would love to see the picture of the handstands. Thanks for posting these pictures from the concert last night. Also, thanks to Mesmerized for the link to the final group song. I am so excited for all of Season 7s contestants and hope the tour is all they hope it will be. Judging from the cheering and audience response, last night’s show was a winner. Can’t wait until they come to Chicagoland.

Here is the handstand pic.

Thanks for that link Mesmerized! That is a fun group song!

ShariG, I just went and looked and Rickey posted it!

ETA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiisF8sTeYY

Video of the handstand! LOL

this is a video of cook filming the crowd:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmPUS1IzngA

there seemed to be someone holding a sign “i demand a recount” or something like that .. he responded to it with “me too for what its worth” which was great on his part .. the competition is OVER there is no need for these kinds of signs :/

the competition is OVER there is no need for these kinds of signs :/

Agree completely. That’s the part I hate most about AI – even when you’re successful and you win, there will always be a group of people resenting you and holding a grudge, simply because of the way the show is built – for one person to win, others have to lose. It’s a shame fans can’t just support and love their favorite, and feel the need to bash and discredit the FORMER competition.
It’s so obvious that Cook and Archie have a great relationship, and yet – you read the comments on that silly handstand video and you can only go “WTF?!”.

UMm… I think the “I demand a recount” sign is a joke!! It’s supposed to be…. FUNNY?!!!

ETA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiisF8sTeYY

Video of the handstand! LOL

wow….i’m impressed, lol, cook didn’t last as long as archie though, lol

If you haven’t seen it there’s a video on U-Tube of him in a high school version of Singing In The Rain where during the performance of Make Them Laugh, he does lots of antics and at the end not only stand on his hands but actually walks a little on his hands. The boy has moves I was surprised he could do.

Here is an interview that both Archie and Cookie did yesterday in Phoenix.

Idol One on One

Does anyone remember that Kimmel episode when he said that Archie looked like a Monchichi (sp?), those little monkey baby toys from the 80s?
His look here must be The Monchichi Creepy Vegas Edition.
That is a bad look, sorry. YMMV

Cook better hope he doesnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t have too much in common with Taylor although I see some similarities. Cook will need alot of male fans as thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s what usually gives rockers their careers. Heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ll need more fans who donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t care about how à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“hotà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  he is. Good luck Cookie.

Seriously? Oh, I forgot how many male fans contributed to the initial success of pop/rock artists like Bon Jovi, Nickelback and our very own Daughtry. I’m sorry, I couldn’t even keep a straight face while typing that. They may have gained some male fans along the way but I think we all know the majority of their fans are of the female persuasion. Certainly goes a long way toward explaining why singles from those artists sell more when marketed through pop and HAC. Why, you ask? Well, because most men listening to rock radio are not music buyers. They will go to a concert or buy an album after they have liked an artist for a long while (sometimes) but they make up a small minority of the music buying public. If you doubt this statement, take a look at the BB rock charts and compare to the Hot 100. You will find few, if any, similarities.
That having been said, my personal adoration of Mr. Cook began sight unseen. I wasn’t watching this season initially, until my local radio station played his Billie Jean the morning after that performance. The voice and the style are what hooked me, anything more than that is just icing on the cake. As far as any Taylor comparisons, I will grant that both men are great performers. The problem was that Taylor never had a commercial look or sound and radio was completely not receptive to him. Cookie does have a commercial look and sound and radio is apparently receptive to him, even with a coronation song. Apples and oranges, IMO. And, looking at RCA’s artist roster (complete with Foo Fighters, Daughtry, The Strokes and Velvet Revolver) they seem to be quite rock-friendly and Cookie fits right in.

But, on the subject of fans, I wonder what will happen to the Archie fans who are fans of his pretty ballads if he puts out a Disney type pop album? Will they go the way of Kat fans who wanted the performer they saw on the show and not the one that the record label tried to manufacture? Or, on the other hand, if he does make an album of what he does best, will the little Disney types who squeal because he’s cute (really?) and young buy it? We know that he can’t go the urban route; that would be absurd (he is no Timberlake and I giggle thinking of Archie bringing sexy back). And, looking at Jive’s artist roster, the only non-urban male solo artists are Nick Carter and Nick Lachey (former boy banders who have struggled with solo careers). Good luck Archie.

Yep, the Idol fan base is primarily women. Then, the idols move past that and get a more diverse fan base or they fail. In terms of music, that older fermale audience didn’t do much for Taylor in terms of sales. Cook will do much better no doubt. I just don’t think he’ll be selling millions of records based on “he’s so hot.” Or maybe he will.

Archie has his own problems.

NIckelback, Daughtry, Lifehouse and the other “rockers” out there have tons of male fans. And it’s much better to sell albums than singles. I don’t think Cook wants to start his rock career assuming men don’t buy music. That might be a mistake.

Unless you take a nationwide survey there’s no way of know exactly what kind of demographics someones fanbase consists of. Just because there aren’t men squeeling on message boards doesn’t mean they aren’t fans. Lots of boys my daughter goes to school with LOVED David and voted for him, one I just discovered the other day even has Billie Jean his ringtone. When David was interviewed on Ryan’s show two weeks ago some guy called up gushing all over him telling him how phenominal he was. There’s no way of knowing how many more like that guy is out there.

I don’t see anyone making fun of Archie personally or his actual looks, I see complaints about the horrible outfit he has to wear, which even some of his fans don’t like.

But, on the subject of fans, I wonder what will happen to the Archie fans who are fans of his pretty ballads if he puts out a Disney type pop album? Will they go the way of Kat fans who wanted the performer they saw on the show and not the one that the record label tried to manufacture? Or, on the other hand, if he does make an album of what he does best, will the little Disney types who squeal because heà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s cute (really?) and young buy it? We know that he canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t go the urban route; that would be absurd (he is no Timberlake and I giggle thinking of Archie bringing sexy back). And, looking at Jiveà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s artist roster, the only non-urban male solo artists are Nick Carter and Nick Lachey (former boy banders who have struggled with solo careers). Good luck Archie.

Archie’s fans are much more diverse and much more savvy than most people give them credit for. The “Disney” comments are not even a worry as that is as laughable as you say going the urban route is. The young girls who are squealing now are squealing for everything he’s done so far, so I don’t see a problem. If the album is less ‘ballad-y’ than some older fans like, they will stick with him anyway. Archie has a much broader appeal than Cook and a much longer career, because of his age and the changes he will go through along the way.

Oh, I forgot how many male fans contributed to the initial success of pop/rock artists like Bon Jovi, Nickelback and our very own Daughtry. Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m sorry, I couldnà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t even keep a straight face while typing that. They may have gained some male fans along the way but I think we all know the majority of their fans are of the female persuasion.

Huh? This theory doesn’t wash for me. I was in high school during Bon Jovi’s late 80′s heyday. They had a ton of male fans, and if the most recent concert I attended is any indication – they still do.

All of the Nickelback fans I know are men. And, my husband loves his Daughtry cd. I also attended one of Daughtry’s first concerts, and while there were plenty of fangirls in the room – there was also a respectable representation of men.

I guess maybe it’s a perception thing, but my perception is just the opposite. I think huge success usually requires both male and female fans. I also think the more you move away from the pop rock and into the harder stuff, the more the male fans outnumber the women.

I guess maybe ità ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s a perception thing, but my perception is just the opposite. I think huge success usually requires both male and female fans. I also think the more you move away from the pop rock and into the harder stuff, the more the male fans outnumber the women.

I agree, and to take it further, the appeal has to go beyond looks and personality if the artist is going to have any sort of longevity in the business.

Archie has a much broader appeal than Cook and a much longer career, because of his age and the changes he will go through along the way.

I’d love to know what you’re basing that assessment on (not fanwaring, actually curious). I’m refering more to the first part – How can you tell Archie has a “much broader appeal” without having some kind of survey in place? I just don’t get how anyone can do anything but guess at this point – we really don’t know what their albums are going to sound like, so how can we say who they will and will not appeal to?

I’m not that familiar with modern rockers but the ones I’ve seen aren’t particularly hot. I’m sure Cook has male fans but I’m mostly seeing the “thud” focus. Most guys don’t usually get off on that But I know a couple of male Idols who’ve had their careers hurt by overinvested female fans.

Archie has one fan who isn’t a teen. Barbara Cook(Bway legend) did a recent interview and raved about him. Archie has enough to deal with overcoming the curse of the runner up. So far only Clay has survived that one.

So I’ll stick with my comment, that the most male fans Cook gets the better off his career will be. I remember reading a comment about a guy at the Idol concert running back to his seat (and forgoing a beer) to hear Daughtry. When someone posts that about a Cook this tour, I’ll predict platinum plus sales.

Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m not that familiar with modern rockers but the ones Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ve seen arenà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t particularly hot.

LOL, I’m always amazed by the rock star hysteria that overtakes women and turns them into groupies for seriously fug dudes like Mick Jagger. In my early 20′s, I worked in an office building that housed the local rock station. On occasion, I would quite literally bump into some famous rockers on the way in or out. The one that sticks with me the most – was Aerosmith. Their collective fugness in real life nearly knocked me over. Yet, the hotest women in the world will have sex with them because they’re rock stahs!

Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m sure Cook has male fans but Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m mostly seeing the à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“thudà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  focus.

But, on another note, I think the thudding is pretty harmless. I’m not typically a thudder (for instance, I can plainly see that my dearest beloved Billy Joel is kind of homely), but I totally understand how people can become overcome by such things. I don’t think it becomes troublesome until fans get, as you say, “over-invested” and defensive and protective and start pearl-clutching and mother-henning all over the land.
