David Archuleta Inspires Charity Calendar

8 February 2010

David Archuleta is a great singer who is also a great human being. He inspires the best in so many people. Take Jennifer Barry, an über fan with extraordinary talent as a photographer. David has inspired her to create a “Charity Calendar.” I think it’s a wonderful idea! Every month as the year rolls by, the calendar reminds us to give to those less fortunate than ourselves. Thank you, Jennifer!

Be the Change calendar designed by Jennifer BarryJennifer explains, “This year instead of waiting for a fundraiser to begin, I created it myself as I was inspired by David’s charity speech before singing ‘Prayer of the Children.’” She continued, “I have been wanting to help support Crush MS through photos I have taken of David. So, this year, I made a 2010 David Calendar called ‘Be The Change.’ All proceeds will go to help support the fight against MS. I was inspired to help this cause after meeting Brett Hales, who is such an amazing individual who has such a positive outlook despite having MS. So whether you purchase this calendar or not, please make this the year YOU make a difference!”

The “Be the Change” calendar can be purchased for $21 at Qoop.com. All proceeds will benefit the Utah Chapter of Crush MS.

pix of Derek SheldonAbout 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 it’s 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.

The Song of the Week

8 February 2010

Songs I have been listening to many of David’s ‘live’ concert performances on my i-Pod lately. Since it may be awhile before we fans have the chance to experience David in concert again, I am enjoying all the songs I have accumulated since David was on American Idol‘s Season 7. I have also been fortunate to get songs from various concerts David has performed over the last year that were converted to mp3 format. I have put those songs on my i-Pod as well! I love all these performances of David’s. Honestly, he sounds better to me when he is singing ‘live’. He has such an incredible ability to put his emotions into the songs. Add the comments he makes to his audience of fans and their reaction to him, and these ‘live’ performances are incredible to listen to.

One of my favorite songs that David sings has always been a song that I loved even before I heard David’s version. It is a beautiful love song and the words are really very poetic. When I first heard David sing it, well I was just blown away! Truly, I like his version better than the original. It is David’s voice that brings the song to life and he does it so beautifully.

The Song of the Week is…

“I’ll Be”

“I’ll Be” is a song written and sung by American Alt-Rock singer–guitarist Edwin McCain. The song was released as the first single from his second album, Misguided Roses, which was released in 1998. “I’ll Be” ended up being a success for McCain in the United States, peaking at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 after debuting at #7 on the issue dated September 26, 1998. While it was only his second single to chart, it became his first and only Top 10 hit and his biggest hit to date. “I’ll Be” was featured on A Cinderella Story, Original Soundtrack, music from the 2004 movie starring Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray, as well as the movie, Family Man, starring Nicolas Cage. It was also featured prominently in the Season 1 finale of the hit TV show Dawson’s Creek in 1998.

Here is the original song, “I’ll Be,” as performed ‘live’ by Edwin McCain. Such a beautiful song!

The first time I heard David sing “I’ll Be,” it was from a video of a Murray High School performance he did before he tried out for American Idol. He must have been 15 or 16 at the time. Even back then he could wow his audience!

David singing “I’ll Be” a capella at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York City, January 2009. All I can say is his voice is powerful and beautiful and he makes it look so easy! Listen to him talk to the audience about what he should sing…love it!

David singing “I’ll Be,” full song version, from his Rockville concert in August 2009. Love this one, so incredible the way he makes this song sound better.

“I’ll Be” Lyrics
by Edwin McCain

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I’ll be captivated
I’ll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

[Chorus:]
I’ll be your crying shoulder
I’ll be love’s suicide
I’ll be better when I’m older
I’ll be the greatest fan of your life

Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You’re my survival, you’re my living proof
My love is alive, not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I’ll be captivated
I’ll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

[Chorus:]
I’ll be your crying shoulder
I’ll be love suicide
I’ll be better when I’m older
I’ll be the greatest fan of your life

I’ve been dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on, Remembered the things that you said.

[Chorus:]
I’ll be your crying shoulder
I’ll be love suicide
I’ll be better when I’m older
I’ll be the greatest fan of your life

I love the way this young man sings and no matter how many times I listen to any of his songs, I never grow tired of hearing him. David Archuleta is a gifted singer who grabs you by the heart and then wraps himself around it…every time! 😉

Have a nice week everyone, and as always, take care!
Katie

Listen to Song of Last Week.
