Thank you, Radio Disney for premiering the David Archuleta/Miley Cyrus duet “I Wanna Know You.” Many David Archuleta fan sites have noted that the version released by Radio Disney on Saturday, May 2nd is not the same as what is featured on the Hannah Montana show, in that David’s solo part has been left out. In other words, David Archuleta has been turned into a backup singer on the radio version. As fans, we are wondering what happened to the so-called “duet” on the version played by Radio Disney.

We are hoping that the version released for sale will include David Archuleta’s solo. I guarantee you, you’ll make David Archuleta fans everywhere happy, and you’ll secure more sales of the song!

Thank you for your consideration.

I posted this email on FanBlast. I received feedback from a couple of people who were worried I would make Disney angry and that it would hurt David, while others were happy I had written. As far as I’m concerned, Disney pulled a “bait and switch” on us, advertising the song one way on the Hannah Montana show, and then watering down David’s part considerably on the radio version. As one comment I read I YouTube said, “Wasn’t it David who asked Hannah to do a duet with him and not the other way around?!”

I’m not the least bit worried I offended Disney. As part of the huge ABC conglomerate, Disney no doubt welcomes feedback. Heck, I’m only trying to help them sell more copies of the song! I think many fans have been walking around on eggshells, worried about being too openly enthusiastic in their support of David, and afraid of being compared to the Claymates. At this point in time, that comparision is stale and completely nonapplicable. David is fast becoming an international superstar, and we are not desperately trying to gain acceptance for him in the wider world.

Britney Spears was in Seattle not too long ago on what I like to call her B.S. Tour! I’ve never heard so much promotion and advertising for a concert before. (It just goes to show you that Jive will reach into their pockets if they feel like it.) KISS-FM was giving away free tickets, etc. in connection with the concert, and there were lots of annoying young women (16 to mid-twenties) calling the station begging for tickets, requesting Britney’s songs, etc. Let me tell you, the DJ’s loved the feedback, and were more than happy to play her songs. As long as the artist is sucessfull and brings listeners to the station, music and program directors love it. They see dollar signs in terms of ad revenue.
