When David Archuleta sang Bryan Adams’ “Heaven” in Manila recently, the audience was in heaven! What a voice—soulful, golden, pure.

Thank you, David!

Thanks for the excellent video, booradleigh!

According to Steven J. Robinson, David’s drummer, “…the welcome at the Hanoi airport was BONKERS!!!!  The most insane yet!”  Watch this video and judge for yourself!

Malaysian fans of David Archuleta planned, choreo­graphed, and executed a flash mob routine as part of their elaborate promotion leading up to David’s July 26 concert at Stadium Negara, Kuala Lumpur.  If I’m not mistaken, this is the first ever flash mob done in tribute to David!

As an aside, I’ve known about this for a few weeks now.  I communicate regularly with fans at Archuleta Avenue Malaysia, and they started discussing the possibility of this nearly a month ago.  It was a blast reading through their ideas and looking at videos of a multitude of different flash mobs, including freeze mobs, strip mobs, etc.  Kudos to the creativity and resourcefulness of these awesome fans!

Just as we’ve come to expect, David was greeted by very enthusiastic fans in Manila, first at the airport and then at the SM Megamall Meet and Greet event.   David’s flight arrived on July 17, and the Meet and Greet occurred later the same day.  There are lots of videos of the mall appearance posted on YouTube.  I found this one to be the most complete and to have the best vantage points.  It’s so gratifying to see the outpouring of love and support from David’s Filipino fans, many of whom arrived hours ahead of his scheduled appearance.

David arrived in Indonesia on July 14th and was greeted by adoring fans.  I stayed up way past my bedtime to watch it unfold via live stream.  It was thrilling to vicariously experience the fans’ anticipation and mounting excitement.  I had to laugh at their decision early on to maintain composure and not scream.  Well, that idea quickly flew out the window once they caught a glimpse of the band members, and it completely evaporated once they saw David!!!  Here’s a video showing the final moments.
