Comments on: Idol Headlines for 11/14/08 http://mjsbigblog.com/idol-headlines-for-111408.htm American Idol - I Love This Cheesy Show Sun, 21 Mar 2010 01:32:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Han http://mjsbigblog.com/idol-headlines-for-111408.htm/comment-page-6#comment-164419 Han Sat, 15 Nov 2008 23:09:54 +0000 http://mjsbigblog.com/idol-headlines-for-111408.htm#comment-164419 <blockquote>Since someone mentioned Yale, I live in Princeton and our snobbish town here loves David Archuleta and his album</blockquote> As a Princetonian myself this made me laugh!

He's definitely one of those singers who sounds better live!

I read them online, subscribe to the actual mag, and all that. I love it, and have for a long time. What I don't really understand is why they would be required to list both Davids as "breakout stars." Just as an example, the dude who plays Dixon on 90210 is listed (which I totally agree with), but the rest of the cast isn't. DC has had enough accomplishments this year to be considered a breakout star on his own merit without being attached at the hip to DA on the heels of the "Battle of the Davids" hook. Not to say that DA doesn't deserve it - he's doing really well right now - but I don't agree that it has to be a "both or neither" mentality.

DC and the band looked and sounded great. The mix was a little wonky like everyone said, but at least it brought David's voice to the fore and who knows, maybe that mix works in the environment of a Walmart electronics department (where they show these vids on the TVs)? Now I'm watching Leno and waiting for DC's performance. Seriously, does Miley's FACE have to be in every single shot of Jason Statham's interview?! I guess it's the widescreen HD picture but I've never seen the first guest all up in the second guest's facetime like that. Just watched the Soundcheck vids. DC and the band looked and sounded great.

It actually looks like it would be a fun show. The female lead was pretty good. I don't think I'll be making a special visit to NYC to see it but if I was in town I would check it out.

I'm sure you can find it on any one of the Taylor fan sites also. Cook was great sounding on Leno tonight and I liked the band better, I think they are starting to feel more confident in their roles. David is looking more rested and happy lately. Maybe he likes being in Ca. near his best girl. Love has a way of smoothing the rough edges of life.

Those are fantastic versions of all of the songs, but you can really tell that he's so much more comfortable singing any other song but LO. So weird they picked that to be the first single that he has to go around singing everywhere. It really doesn't play to his strength as a performer, that ability to lose himself in a song and take us with him. Declaration would have been a much better introduction to the general public for the album. And Lie needs to be a single soon! They were great on Leno. Loved Andy's pink pants! I think I had the same pair about 20 years ago! David sang LO a little lower on Leno, the same way that he did on SNL. It sounds sooo much better that way. I’m still swooning over Lie on Soundcheck.
