David Hosted KiWi Radio!
Mizzwad3v3rr was kind enough to capture David’s segment!
Sorry for the Bad Quality
I got up like 5.30am(Malaysia) just to record this!!
I love Archie!!
AFS posted a picture of David Cook sneaking Archie’s Christmas CD into his jacket! Julia, the girl in this picture, says he was so excited to own a non-bootlegged copy of the CD. (Another fan gave him a burned copy of the CD that he’d been listening to up until the time this picture was taken.)
Here’s a new photoshoot picture! Found this one here.
And another great Christmas CD review!
When I first heard that David Archuleta’s Christmas album would be released Oct. 13, I thought surely he’s jumping the gun to beat the other holiday releases.
Then I checked the list of new music releases for last Tuesday. A bluegrass Christmas CD from Charlie Daniels. A new Christmas CD from Neil Diamond. A CD entitled “Christmas in the Heart” from Bob Dylan … yes, Bob Dylan.
Now, ask yourself who from that list seems perfectly suited to release a holiday album.
David Archuleta has to be on the list.
Anyone who watched him on Idol had to know two things as soon as David’s Christmas CD was announced. He has the vocal ability to do justice to the songs of the season, even if it isn’t here yet. And he’d give those songs the respect they deserve.
Even with those lofty expectations heading in, fans will be impressed by young David’s “Christmas From the Heart.”
David Archuleta’s album of holiday music was released Tuesday.The CD features a splendid duet on “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” with Charice Pempengco, another teen with a wonderful voice. For those who wanted to hear more of David singing in Spanish, there’s “Riu Riu Chiu.”
And I’m not much for listening to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving, but David’s vocals on “Pat-a-pan” and “What Child Is This” might change by mind.
The only track that made me wince a little was “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” and that was more because of the arrangement, especially the overdone ending, than anything David did or didn’t do vocally.
David even has a co-writing credit on the one original song on the album, “Melodies of Christmas,” which is pleasant enough, even if it’s unlikely to become as classic as the other songs he tackles on this CD.
So, one question remains. When Billboard releases its updated charts on Thursday, who will do better with their Christmas release, young David or Bob Dylan?
My money’s on David.
Mizzwad3v3rr, Thank you for the radio feed. I listened last night from 7:30 p.m. til 9:00 p.m. EST, USA. Was trying to figure how they do that . David was still in Nashville last night so how could he be on a radio station in Evansville, Indiana? Glad you caught all of it.
Meagan- That was a fantastic Christmas review of “Christmas From The Heart”. Can’t wait to start hearing the songs on the radio. Every year I would say, “Why are they playing the Xmas music so early?” usually in November. Now I wish they would start now. Thank you for bringing us the review, photos and especially that picture of that handsome young man sitting in a concert seat. You’re great!
That was a fantastic album review indeed!!And…aww David is learning, he did great hosting Kiwi radio(what state was it?)!Lastly, I’m impressed that Cook is supporting David with his CFTH album!!David loves to promote other artists’s song and I’m glad his buddy Cook is doing it for him this time!!
Great1 Davids amazing and oh so fierece! Hahaha
