I posted this in the Headlines thread, but I´m moving inhere:

From the Tampa Bay Ray page:

It was a party 11 years in the making, with ESPN analyst Dick Vitale and “American Idol” runner-up David Archuleta among the notable attendees.

A season ticket holder, Vitale was on hand with his family and will throw out the ceremonial pitch in Game 2 on Saturday. Archuleta, meanwhile, sat with his brother and father, clutching the words to “God Bless America,” which he was set to sing during the seventh-inning stretch.

The young singer sat several rows behind home plate, eyes wide and grin even wider.

“This is my second baseball game, and the best seat I’ve ever had,” said Archuleta, a first-timer to the Trop. “This is so exciting.”

To those like Morales, who sat and patiently waited through 10 consecutive losing seasons, it was more than that.

David Archuleta likes singing in the Trop

David Archuleta was walking peacefully, undisturbed, toward his seat in section 105, when a reporter spotted him. He was wearing a blue Rays jersey with his name across the back.

He didn’t have many thoughts on the Tampa Bay Rays, saying he hasn’t been keeping track of baseball.

“It’s fun to be here in Florida,” he said, though he added he was only staying in the area one night. He said he was trying to see his grandmother, who lives east of the area.

As the interview went on, more and more fans started gathering, taking pictures with cameras and cell phones. They were mostly female. “Are you freaking out with all this,” one woman asked as she pulled him in for a picture with her. “It’s a little weird…” he said.

He said he would love to sing at more postseason games. “This has been a lot of fun.”

As for his thoughts on Tropicana Field, Archuleta said, “It wasn’t hard to sing in, that was really nice.” He said other stadiums echo more. “I love orange juice, too.”

A lady called out to him, “You were so good! You were so good!”

A man walked away saying, “I like this kid.”

Archuleta took pictures with fans, signed autographs, including one for a woman who works in the concession stand, and chatted with some sisters who run www.fansofdavid.com.

A publicist in red pumps finally pulled him away with the help of a tall Rays security guard.

Wasn’t Brooke a beauty school dropout for real? I’m sure she has some skill in that area. :)

Nice job, Archie!

Oh David. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Random at his finest.
18 JudyOhio Oct 11th, 2008 at 12:33 am

Very, very, very nice. Good job Archuleta!
19 Davidx2 Oct 11th, 2008 at 12:44 am

Excellent job, David!!

Thanks for the blog, frogcooke! Sounds like DA was having a great time at the game.

And Red Sox!!
20 sabby_rina Oct 11th, 2008 at 12:58 am

HAHA Orange juice? That was random… LOL

He sounded great too. The echo in the stadium was mountain lava hot. (Is that how randy says it?) haha
21 frogcooke Oct 11th, 2008 at 1:06 am

Tropicana…. orange juice… get it? lol lol
22 E Oct 11th, 2008 at 1:31 am

After listening to Crush so often, I’ve forgotten how incredibly good his voice actually is! Good job David! Just let him sing all the anthems from now on!

Orange juice? haha love random Archie.

29 ozarka Oct 11th, 2008 at 11:22 am

Just got through watching the Vh1 Countdown and the God Bless America performance on TiVo. I’m soooo proud of him right now. You were amaaaazing, David!!
30 s0x_prisoner Oct 11th, 2008 at 11:46 am

Nice Job!! I’ll forgive for the Rays Jersey… lol

lol! haha, i second that. :)
31 PCdoctor Oct 11th, 2008 at 12:08 pm

Can’t help but like this kid, nice job David. Making fans wherever you may roam.
32 jpfan Oct 11th, 2008 at 12:19 pm

Bring back the spiky haircut. A few too many runs but overall very nice. I’m with you Duke about never backing a winner. I guess it builds character though. :)
33 cruzceleste Oct 11th, 2008 at 12:23 pm

LOL The Soup covers Mileys bday party… a little mention of Archie and a jab to Ryan Seacrest…

PS.
Sorry, if this is in the wrong thread… but is really funny…
34 clee1107 Oct 11th, 2008 at 1:23 pm

IMHO, David’s “God Bless America” was really great. I think he’s very good at a capella and live. Frankly, I’m a fan of DA, it’s just amazing to me. haha…therefore, gelfling, I did not hear any missing note…

36 Aladdin88 Oct 11th, 2008 at 2:25 pm

Clee - You’ve pointed out something that had alway intrigued me about Archie–how much better he sounds live. It always seems to me that whenever I hear a lot of singers live, I realize just how much their vocals get played with in studio recordings. Their live voices are generally not as good as their recorded music portrays.

A handful of singers (Archie included) are the opposite. In fact, during AI I always preferred his live performances to the studio versions. The studio songs sounded great, but I always felt that they lacked something and couldn’t decide whether is was the way they were produced or if he was just holding back. Now, after hearing him live in concert, I realize that yes, there is a certain tendency for him to “let it all hang out” when he performs live, but mostly there is an indescribable richness to the tone of his voice that somehow gets lost in translation in the studio (and even to a certain extent, on television). You have to hear him in person to fully experience how extraordinary his voice is for such a young man. It’s going to be interesting (and exciting) to see how much that evolves once his voice is fully developed in another 5-10 years.
37 SpenserJ Oct 11th, 2008 at 3:12 pm

First - apologies for being MIA lately. Been hella busy :)

HAHA Orange juice? That was random… LOL

LOL - not random at all. Tropicana field is indeed named for Tropicana, the makers of Florida’s yummiest orange juice.

I was at the game last night. David was pretty amazing. We were all darn impressed. He did a lovely job.

and of course….. GO RAYS!!!!
38 cruzceleste Oct 11th, 2008 at 6:34 pm

^^Thank you Spencer and welcome back, glad you have fun at the game

Ha-ha! David Archuleta — a new Disney character. That was cute. He sure has a big enough smile for it!
40 ozarka Oct 11th, 2008 at 7:34 pm

Was David Archuleta there or is that a new Disney Character?

Absolutely!

I’m with you Duke about never backing a winner. I guess it builds character though. :)

I guess I’ve been building lots of character the last couple of seasons.

Anyway I loved the way he took it to churcb a bit. Great job David, there is alot of soul in that 17 year old.
42 frogcooke Oct 11th, 2008 at 9:04 pm

Here’s a story from some fans(Mary and her sis from FansofDavid) along with Amy, from at the game.

Evidently he really misses all the fans and getting to interact and talk and such with them.
43 mj Oct 11th, 2008 at 9:18 pm

and of course….. GO RAYS!!!!

HMPF!!!

Thanks Frog for posting the link to the fans story. So David was sick? aww.

David is so nice to his fans, but I hope fans don’t ask him too much like to please ask him to watch thank you vid or whatever especially when he’s so busy, though David would sacrifice sleep and rest to oblige.
46 CFIdolsfan Oct 13th, 2008 at 9:29 am

Beautifully sung, Archie, and great to see you wearing the Rays shirt. We in the Tampa Bay area are all still amazed by how far our Rays have come this year, and how they performed during that second game. Go Rays!
