If Jive is smart, they'll have Archie singing Touch My Hand as at least his second song on that promo tour of his. I guess that starts tonight? That song was kind of meh for me. I like the one about the eyes. Who knew? I've always associated whistling in songs to my Mom's old Roger Whitacker tapes, but this thing just kind of works. I like the bounce to that song. But, I can see how that wouldn't be a good winter song. I think I need to cut down in the caffiene though. That lady suddenly appearing to say "Music on Demand" nearly made me jump out of my chair. When is Cookie streaming? I only like listening to the entire songs (after Archie, Pink's album started streaming and I really liked one of her ballads on there. I would like a version without the "Music on Demand" chick though). Um...so new single. What say the Archies?

They have done well for David and many other artists they handle so far, so I am going to trust them. Even that guy in the Salt Lake Tribune likes Touch My Hands.

I thought ALTNOY or Desperate would make a good next single, but mabye they are going to put out multiple singles. Do they normally put out several to see what sticks? When I first heard that song, I could imagine teens and young adults, since I have recently been to some dances with them, reaching out their hands and then jumping up and down once the band part comes in. That is what they did to several songs at a recent dance. This is when they need a light thing like Cooks thing for the second verse. I guess they could use their cell phones. I think they will love it. I like “Touch My Hands” and could see teens and young adults really liking it.

Archie does giggle a lot, and his stage presence on AI was a little lacking for some viewers (the closed eyes and outstretched hand). I think David has grown tremendously as a performer since the show ended, but the reviewer probably skipped the pop tart tour. He gave major props to Archie's voice.

I didn't even post a comment to this current Vulture review to point out that they placed DC's hometown in Mississippi! I was truly surprised that Vulture didn't do a post-SNL/Cook post.

Two of my favorite parts were the look of shock and awe on Slezaks face as he met David and was really impressed with him; and David's reference to how a rainbow would probably have appeared over his head if he had sung TOML.

In hindsight, I do feel that Archies had it tough this season, and even DC's said as much in interviews where he gave Archie props for shouldering the frontrunner burden with grace, while he had an easier time at first because he could get take his time and get his footing as long as he wasn't last each week, etc. (paraphrasing horribly).

And that's it. He would bring up stuff about Archie's dad, or he would make some sarcastic remark about how Archie managed shockingly to pick a good song this week--yet never commented on the actual performance. He barely ever commented on the actual performance. It would always be something sarcastic about Archie's clothes, or his father, or how he licks his lips. Other contestants... actually most all of the contestants... got better treatment than that. In his Idol reviews he wasn't trying to be funny, he was actually reviewing the show. That would annoy fans of Archie just as much as Vulture annoys fans of Cook. BTW, while I think Vulture is being snarky, they actually have written articles solely about Archie that weren't over the top. They even made a montage youtube video after the finale about Archie that wasn't snarky at all--it was well-put together and sentimental. Do they want the hits? Yeah. Are they playing Archie's and Cook's fans for all their worth? Of course. Do they actually like Archie's album? I think so. They go on to list some of their favorite songs. They would simply make broad platitudes if the entire point of the post was to diss Cook. I never put stock in music reviews, though. Actually, I never really read them.

Every fan base has its extreme faction.

He and his crew poke fun, but it's never mean-spirited, IMO. The Brooke as Bambi, Syesha Wonderwoman, and KLC as Godzilla or whatever was hilarious, and I *love* Brooke. I was a fan of EW's TV Watches back when I was a very casual viewer of AI, and Slezak and his crew always have their favorites, but that's their job. I honestly don't agree with Slezak often (his music tastes in particular, except for his eventual support of DC this season), but I always enjoyed his coverage, clips, and writing because they were smart, interesting and well-done. I'm a fan of NYMag, and snark in general, but I've never been into the Vulture because they're just not that funny. (A much smarter version of that NY snark can be found on Gawker.) I wasn't even aware of the Vulture's Cook hate until after Idol when I lost my mind and started reading all DC news and coverage, haha. Anyways, I guess I say all this to get myself to the point where I will be able let the negative coverage/reviews on either David slide off and not get worked up ;).
