David Archuleta Blogs from NYC: He Continues to Ramble, But It’s All Good

David Archuleta is is New York City to perform a corporate event for J-14, M and Twist Magazines tonight. He’ll also be dropping by the WPLJ 95.5 FM for a live interview on tomorrow, 1/13.  In the meantime, David blogs about singing at the Utah Governor’s inauguration last week, and finally having the chance to hang with friends and family:

Hey everyone! It’s me again, and I’m just checkin’ in with you guys here in New York…. eating grapes… haha. I’ve gotten a chance to spend more time with my family lately, and it’s been sooooo nice catching up with them. It’s nice just to hang out and talk, or play video games, or do some music stuff together, or go out for lunch with my brother and sisters. I also got to hang out with my friends, which was also really fun. The governor’s inauguration was so cold! But it was a good experience getting to sing for him again, even though the flag kept like hitting me in the face haha. So Utah time was good. Oh! I’ve also been getting more exercise in, which has felt amazing! I haven’t really gotten the chance to go running and stuff for a while, so I was so excited to be able to fit that in. What made it really fun is I got to work out with my friends a lot, and that made it a lot easier to spend more time at the gym or wherever haha. But yeah. I’m in New York for a performance I have at the Hard Rock Cafe, where I’m doing a small set for Bauer Publishing’s J-14, M and Twist Magazines.  I think some contest winners have been invited too! I love New York, even though it’s freezing! I don’t deal too well with the Utah cold or the New York cold, so I always have to make sure the heat’s blasting in my room. After New York, I’ll be heading back to the West coast to LA to do a few more things. But that’s all I really have to say for now. See you guys around!P.S. I hope I’m getting better at not rambling too much about things! I’ll keep working at it haha.

    And I don´t want him to stop rambling…his rambling is awesome… I wish he will blog about his opinion on the AI performances form this season… everybody will get some kind of kudos from David… ;D

    It’s no wonder he goes to the gym. Can you imagine David trying to take a run outside? He’d probably have a gaggle of fans chasing him through his neighborhood.

    ^lol… but that will keep him running for sure…

    I love his rambling though. Rambling FTW! Nice to see he’s getting some exercise too. lol

    see Archie, see Archie run, run Archie run. It’s nice to see he’s getting some down time, hopefully he got to rest too.

    Reports are coming in on IDF that 30 David fans, so far, are on queue outside the Hard Rock Cafe, waiting for the show, and are having a David party! LOLOL……… Love the enthusiasm of these fans…

    Good to see the David frenzy is still in effect!

    Raise the roof tonight in NY Angels - show David the LOVE!

    I may be wrong but seems to me this is the date that David meets the person who shelled out $4500.00 on eBay (the money of course going to charity)for the chance to meet him. As much as I love Archie, I cannot imagine anyone paying $4500.00 for a chance to meet and talk to any celebrity and being presented with 4 tickets to a private performance. Of coiurse it was for a worthy cause and don’t you just know the lucky fan is walking on cloud nine!

    new blog. heehee..I’m glad he had good time with family and friends. He needs some rest. I cannot wait for today’s performance. please pics and videos!

    Thanks MJ

    Love the pic.

    $4,500.00 wow, just wow.

  11. 11 wordnerdarchie Jan 12th, 2009 at 7:56 pm

    That’s a great picture. He keeps getting better looking.

    I’d love to meet him again, but there’s no way I’d pay $4,500.00 for that opportunity. But if I were rich, hmmmmm……maybe I’d change my mind. :wub_tb:

    He sang I´ll Be tonight… Oh God let there be a video with this one, I have being waiting since forever to heard him singing that one again…

    He also sang Angels, Crush ALTNOY and ATM…

    snarkyarchies.com has posted pics from the Hard Rick

  13. 13 frogcooke Jan 12th, 2009 at 8:56 pm

    He did I’ll Be acapella, heh I needa see a vid.. Played piano for angels and atm.

    from snarkys:

    He danced and Bri said ‘he has moves and can dance.’ YES. They played the wrong music tracking for Crush, so that is why everyone was laughing. Because David did an MC Hammer dance and waved his hands around in the air. HAHAHHA And Bri said he was shimmying. He messed up in ‘A Thousand Miles’ because he was concerned for a girl in the front and it made him mess up! Awww.

    From Virgin Media (UK) : Great press for David in the run up for the UK release of Crush and his album! :thumbup_tb:

    David Archuleta thrills NY fans

    David Archuleta gave fans a night to remember when he played at the In-Tune concert at the Hard Rock Café in Times Square, New York.

    The American Idol finalist gave over 100 lucky readers from J-14, M and Twist teen magazines an exclusive performance, and was joined by rising star Nolan Gerard Funk, who sang songs from his upcoming Nickelodeon TV movie, Spectacular!

    The hour-long special concert, organised by Bauer Publishing’s Teen Group, wasn’t enough for the fans, who screamed for more.

    “I’m very excited,” David revealed on the red carpet.

    “I’m feeling good. I’m a little nervous right now, but it’ll be great.

    “The Hard Rock Café is like a cosy type of setting with a relaxed feel, so that should be fun. Over December, we did a lot of arenas and Christmas shows so this should be nice and not with so much intense pressure. It will be chilled and laidback.”

    Interview in WPLJ to donwload here

    The link below is a much better quality recording of the WPLJ interview… http://fansofdavid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/wplj-1_13_09-altnoy.mp3

    Crush from the hard rock and his dancing before it because they played the wrong track. hahahaha He lies!!!! Says he cant dance…. my butt!!!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwru7lZ1sQI

    Hahaha!! Froggie, David never lies. He’s just uber humble! He really believes he can’t dance.
    I wish I were a fly on the wall when he was at that New Year’s Eve gig where, as he said, he and his friends were dancing “like idiots.” Obviously, that boy can actually move!
