David doesn’t have to use “smoke n’ mirrors” or magic potions to sell himself!!! All he has to do is sing and people realize he’s the REAL DEAL!!!
This past week has been a GREAT one for David and for creating buzzzzzz!!! His heart-stopping performance of “America The Beautiful” at the US Open sent chills through my body. His rendition of “Contigo En La Distancia” at the ALMA’s was stunning and one of his best!!! David has shown how he can master singing different genres and there’s no doubt he has gained many more fans because of it!!!
I am so thankful he has had the opportunity to record a Christmas CD!!! With the upcoming release of “Christmas From the Heart” he will continue to spread his sweet spirit!! Hopefully all of the Honeybees have pre-ordered their copies and making sure EVERYONE on their Christmas list is getting one!!! Can’t wait for Oct. 13th!!!!

David just tweeted he really had a craving for juice after running! He is limited in what he drinks as milk give him phlegm problems and he doesn’t drink coffee or tea unless it’s herbal tea. He is trying to stay away from sodas, so it looks like a lot of water and the juices he craves. What do you think? Pineapple juice, since he loves pineapple so much, orange juice, the variations in between?
He really seems to be working out with so much time off these past few days. He definitely will be really buffed and in great shape when he starts his Christmas concerts soon. By the way, has anyone heard when we will get those dates? I am all on pins and needles waiting to book those dates. Let’s hope it is soon!

I enjoy all kinds of music—Classical, Blues, Jazz, Folk, Pop, Rock. Give me a song with lots of grace notes, glissandos and appoggiaturas and I’m in heaven. I enjoy complex, reflective music. At the same time, I know that the best music comes from the heart of the singer and sometimes ‘less is more’. Let’s take David Archuleta’s ALMA Awards rendition of “Contigo en la Distancia” and compare it to others. For further reference, you might also listen to David himself singing this song a few years ago.
American Idol has been criticized for making a sport of singing. Its contestants are encouraged and rewarded for using many musical ornaments to out-sing one another. The AI singing athletes bring their own equipment to the game: trills, runs, bluesy slides, sustained notes, melisma, and high notes. Mariah Carey encouraged David Archuleta to use his falsetto, saying “I wouldn’t be mad at ya.”
Compare these three versions of “Contigo en la Distancia” and tell us which one you like the best and why.

“Simple Gifts” was written by Elder Joseph while he was at the Shaker community in Alfred, Maine in 1848.
‘Tis the gift to be simple, ’tis the gift to be free,
‘Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
‘Twill be in the valley of love and delight.When true simplicity is gain’d,
To bow and to bend we shan’t be asham’d,
To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come out right.
October 13, D-Day, is three weeks away. Do you have your “Thumbs Up” postcard? Review the plan of action and get all the details, including the mailing address for David Archuleta. If you need help or have questions, please contact me soon. I hope everyone can participate!
It has been nearly 41 years since Jose Feliciano sang “The Star Spangled Banner” at the World Series on October 7, 1968.
melisma
Etymology: New Latin, from Greek, song, melody, from melizein to sing, from melos song * Date: circa 1880
1: a group of notes or tones sung on one syllable
2: melodic embellishment
Instead of using the word ‘melisma’ in a sentence, sing “Angels We Have Heard on High” which contains one of the most melismatic sequences in popular Christian music. How many notes can you sing on the letter o in the word “Gloria”?
Now make a beeline to last week’s “Type Bee”. Catch you next week! Now one final thought…
To stop the flow of music would be like the stopping of time itself, incredible and inconceivable.
~ Aaron Copland (1900 – 1990)
