David Archuleta Teen Choice Awards and More
Reader, VegasDee, sent me an interesting little tidbit she found on the net:
I got an email from Andrew Hey (BS à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‹06) whoà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s working as an engineer at Underdog Entertainment in LA. Andrew says à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ve been working like crazy on all sorts of stuffà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ . He sent me a list that reads like a whoà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s who of contemporary R & B: Jordin Sparks, Chris Brown, Toni Braxton, David Archuletta, Elliot Yamin, Jojo , Brandy, and Jennifer Hudson.
Hm. The Underdogs are working with David Archuleta (as well as a few other Idols like Elliott Yamin, Jennifer Hudson and Jordin Sparks)… Archie also has songwriter Kara DioGuardi, who has written song songs for Taylor Hicks and Kelly Clarkson, penning songs for him (as well as Cook). David has been busy writing his own songs too, as he tells a reporter for the Salt Lake Tribune that he stayed in and worked on his songwriting during a recent vacation to Lake Powell. Hard working guy!
According to Amazon, David’s CD is scheduled to be released on November 4. I have a feeling the date is random. Release dates are subject to change, and they almost always do…
Lastly, David asks the teens out there, in a recent blog post–well actually, it sounds like a request from his people–to please vote for him in the Teen Choice Awards.
His category? Most fanatic fans…
The awards will be presented on FOX, August 4, 8 pm.

OMG. This isn’t IDF, it’s not the Scary boards. It isn’t the place to fan wank. I hate that shit. If you want to hand-wring and overreact, if you want to bait the other side, you ain’t doing it here. Go to a fan board.
We have no idea whose single is being released first at this point, and in any case, what does it matter? The Davids are out in the real world now, they aren’t competing against each other any more. They have enough to worry about surviving in this cut throat business than to be worrying about who outsells who and which of this year’s crop releases first.
This is teetering on the edge of a fan war. If it escalates, I close the thread, and I put the instigators in moderation.
I suddenly had a mental image of the two Davids reading this thread and looking at each other like, “what the…?”
Oh shit! We’ve brought out MJ! I guess we all need to chill. However the singles are released and the order really isn’t up to us. We will just have to be content with being excited about buying our faves singles and/or albums when they are released.
I haven’t read the entire thread here yet, but my comment that I made that all of Archie’s fans are teenybopper girls, was not directed at MJ.. it was directed at the general consensus regarding his fanbase. So if that’s really true, all the widespread generalizations that only young 13 year olds are his fans, then his win would be accepted as a true win right? One where I do not expect any negative talk anywhere about how his adult fans voted for him? I hope so. But from the talk I see going on here already, I am thinking not. But what about if Cook wins, then will it be b/c his adult fans “pathetically” voted for him, too?
Any adult who pretends to be a teen to vote in the Teen Choice awards is pathetic, in my opinion, I don’t care who they are voting for.
Whatever ppl..just vote for both Davids. Archies have been busying voting for Cook too and Archie is against some tough competition
I wasn’t above having my two teen daughters vote for DC…and I didn’t even have to bribe them!
Archie and the tough competition – someone put up somes of the people that are this tough competition of his, they said Jonas Brothers, Britney, Miley Cyrus – was that a joke? That is his tough competition? Really????
Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers are INCREDIBLY popular right now amongst young people. Any Idol would be lucky to outsell either of them, particularly Miley.
Yes, it’s very tough competition.
Well considering how massively popular the Jonas Brothers & Miley Cyrus are at the moment…. yes, David Archuleta has some tough competition indeed. I hope his teen fans are voting like crazy for him, but I’m sure they are!!!
And really, I do hope that both Davids win in their category .. it’d be a great day if that happens.. keeping my fingers crossed.
Am I a bad Archie fan if I say that I won’t be too upset if he doesn’t win this award? Of course, Hooray for Archie! if he wins, but in light of all of the big things happening for him this summer, this particular award seems rather (for lack of a better word) silly. :unsure_tb:
I agree lefty. I think it would have been more fun to see Archie present the award to Dave C. Of course TCA couldn’t be sure that Dave would win.
Now THAT I would have loved to see.
just for the sake of accuracy, 19 is MAKING money off the skechers deal, not spending it.
It’s just my personal opinion that David Archuleta has tougher competition against the current teen titans. I don’t remember who David Cook was against except for Brody Jenner.
“Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers are INCREDIBLY popular right now amongst young people.”
I have a 10 year old daughter with a whole lotta friends so that is not news to me. I just didnt think of David A is that category – for the most part on AI he sang ballads that the older set seemed to love too. So, I was thinking of it in that direction. I wouldnt compare him to Cyrus or Jonas brothers in that way – or in the same league as those kids as far as his voice and the types of songs he sings compared to their bubble gum. So, seeing him compared to them struck me funny. I was just skimming thru this, didnt read it all and my daughter was with me and of course caught the names of her favs. But as I went back and read over the rest I see where that statement came from now and that silly award most likely will not go to David A against the likes of the ones mentioned.
