David Archuleta – Silent Night
Katharine McPhee – I’ll Be Home For Christmas
Katharine sounds great on this song. Where’s Tonya Harding when you need her?
David’s performance in Ann Arbor was just magnificent! His voice just soared through the auditorium. I was worried the full orchestra would drown him out but it didn’t. Had great seats….second row, but to the right of the stage. David stood more toward the left and because of the orchestra set up, there was no way for him to move around the stage. He looked adorable in his black suit, tie and white shirt. And his smile just beams like a ray of sun. It amazes me that this young man, just a month shy of 19 years of age, has so much maturity, depth and talent. You could tell that the orchestra members were just as much in awe of him as the rest of us. What an incredible night….one I won’t forget and I’m sure one that David won’t either.
