Simon Cowell didn't care much for David Cook, but when time came to critique David Archuleta's version of "Heaven," the man with a million words was at a loss for most of them. Much like the backup singer who cries throughout the 16-year-old's heartfelt performance.
So I've had a pretty awesome week! I was able to get some time to go down to Florida and help Jordin Sparks out with her charity called Jordin Sparks Experience. It was a really neat experience! What made it even better is that I had my mom come down with me. The event was in Miami Beach and I was born in Miami, so it my mom and I were so happy to go back haha. But it was so great because Jordin and I finally got to sing together!! We sang No Air, which is pretty difficult to sing haha. Jordin is such an incredible singer though! I can't believe I got to sing that song with her. At first when I found out she wanted me to sing that song with her I was thinkin', "Uh..." lol because it's such a hard song to sing and I thought I would look like an idiot trying to sing that song with someone who sings that good. It was a real privilege though getting to sing with someone that talented and who sings with that much emotion, and they're close to my age. But yeah it was a fun event and Jason DeRulo, Chrisette Michele, this amazing 9 year-old pianist Ethan Bortnick, and Sam Moore were there as well, and they were all great people.
Oh man so while I really enjoyed getting to go to the event, I felt like such a loser because my cheek was like a balloon! It was swollen, but there was nothing I could do to hide it. So I just had to deal with all the pictures and cameras and not let it get to me lol. At least I'll be able to tell where the pictures were taken, because if my cheek is swollen in any of them it means I was on my Florida trip in the beginning of February, 2010. While we were down there though we were able to go to the Miami Children's Hospital, and it was great getting to meet the kids there. The only thing that made me feel uncomfortable were all the cameras there lol. Not just for my cheek but just how we wanted to focus on getting to talk and meet with the kids. But Jordin was able to ask the cameras to leave once we went to visit the individual kids in rooms to put the focus on them, and it's cool to see how much Jordin cares about those kids.
While I was at the hospital, I was able to get checked on for my swelling haha. So I was able to get some antibiotics for the infection that I had. I think it had to do with my 12 year molars which are FINALLY coming in now that my wisdom teeth are finally out. But it's all good because it's almost back to normal! I can hardly see it anymore. Sometimes you wonder why things like that happen, but it helps you appreciate what you have more and not take it for granted.
Another thing we got to do while we were down there was meet with PeeWee Salinas. We became friends with him when we met him at Nuestra Navidad, and it was good hanging out with him. He's a Latino artist so if you aren't familiar with his stuff you can listen to "Quédate." I heard it on the radio while we were down in Miami which was cool haha. Something that PeeWee, my mom and I got to do was go to the Owl City concert! haha. It was a really fun one to watch and all the band and crew are super nice people. Lights opened up for Owl City and she is one of the friendliest people I've met. She is the one who reminded me that while my face was swollen, it will help me appreciate my normal face more lol. But she's really talented! She has an electronica vibe and you guys should check he rout.
All right, the last thing I did in Florida was visit family!! I got to spend time with mi abuelita, cousins, aunt and uncle and it was just so great. I love getting to see family and spend as much time as I can with them! It was even great driving around with them and going to Wal Mart lol. But I didn't want to leave, and my mom didn't either. It just gives us more reason to go back though. So I'm hoping to go back again soon. I'm proud to be born there haha.
This week ahead is back to writing! I had my first day with Lindy Robbins and Matt Squire yesterday and it's off to a great start! I just felt really comfortable with the song and felt like I wasn't worrying about trying to impress someone or be anything else. I'm excited for the day when everything's ready to get the album out for you guys to listen to the new stuff! But I better leave now because as you can see I can write until your eyes fall out. But thanks everyone for your continued enthusiasm about this next project! I will talk to you guys later!
Songs for the day:
February Air - Lights
I had to give 2 Chrisette songs because she's so amazing.
Well, I think it's safe to say that many of us fans love food just as much as David does! With this in mind, I came up with the idea to make a cookbook. Actually, this thought came to me during a tweet session between Frogcooke, Sheila and myself a while back...but, I am just now following through with it.
I have talked with both Frogcooke and Sheila and they have agreed to help with this project, so I am really excited about getting started! My plans are to make a cookbook of recipes sent in by the fans and then sell the cookbook to raise money for one of David's favorite charities. We will also present David with a cookbook of his very own!
So, in order to get started, I will need you guys to send me your favorite recipe. It can be whatever you want to send...appetizers, soups, salads, etc... Just please label it accordingly so that I will know where to put it in the book. Please be sure that all ingredients/measurements are included as well. You may also send a picture if you like. I will accept recipes until around the middle of March. Please send to archuletaavenue@aol.com.
Once all of the recipes have been submitted, we will work on putting the book together and hopefully have it ready to be sold by Mother's Day!
Please feel free to post this on other sites and if you have any questions, please let me know!
PLEASE NOTE:
* THIS PROJECT IS FOR ALL FANS * PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR NAME AS YOU WANT IT LISTED IN THE BOOK
David performed "Merry Christmas To Me" in Ann Arbor during the "Christmas From The Heart" winter tour. Video taking was prohibited at the concert, but a few people were able to get audio of some of David's performances. Here is the audio of David singing "Merry Christmas To Me"
Industry: Entertainment Reporter/Singer/Songwriter
Occupation: Entertainment Writer/Personality Extraordinaire
Location: Exeter, Pennsylvania; Los Angeles, CA; New York, NY; London/ Kent, United Kingdom
About Me: I love the entertainment industry. I am glad to have been a part of it in my past and looking forward to giving my prospective insight for the future. I will probably be as controversial as most, but I tend to always compromise for the sake of fair.
Interests: Music, Music, and Music...and of course Movies. Singing, Internet Exploration, Car Shopping.
Favorite Movies: There are so many to list and I do not think it would be fair to post here..but I can say that my favorite movie time period is from 1939-1965
Favorite Music: As a performing artist again its unfair to single out any specific genre. I do like all sounds of melodic tone however I do love ballads best and I am a fan of Jann Arden and Frank Sinatra.
Favorite Books:I do love classics such as Dickens but my favorite print would mostly be poems specifically by Emily Dickinson
We post more information about the interview as it becomes available.
Jordin Sparks: Season 6 winner Jordin Sparks hosted three days of events at the Edec roc Renaissance Miami Beach. Billed as the "Jordin Sparks Experience," it included a duet performance of her hit "No Air" with Season 7 runner-up David Archuleta. (If you haven't already seen it, check out the video below -- Archie could give Chris Brown a run for his money!) And now that Jordin's hosting responsibilities are done, she's back to charity work, auctioning a Pennyroyal Silver pendant that she designed to help in the Haiti relief effort.
While American Idol viewers are already comparing the aforementioned season nine contestant with David Archuleta, the former runner-up proved this week that he won't be replaced without a fight.
The talented young singer took to the stage with Jordin Sparks at the 2010 Jordin Sparks Experience, a pre-Super Bowl event held at Miami Beach on Wednesday night. Don't they look adorable together?
The former American Idol alumni performed a duet to “No Air," the single Sparks originally made famous with Chris Brown.
Could she have replaced Brown with anyone more opposite from him? We doubt it. This, of course, is a big compliment to David. The day he beats his girlfriend is the day Jon Gosselin starts caring about his kids.
