Fun at the Pier



Recently, I got to go to the Jason Mraz concert at the Greek Theater! I had tickets for the concert he had in Utah, but I ended up not being able to go because I had more promotion things to do. I'm glad I was eventually able to go, though. It was my first time ever seeing him perform live, and he was amazing! He interacts with the crowd really well, and I like how he involves them. He's always experimenting doing different things with his songs and is just amazing at improv. On some of the songs, he had some gospel singers come and perform with him, and I loooved it. I really liked when he performed "A Beautiful Mess" too, which is an awesome ballad. Jason Castro came along to watch the concert too, and that was fun. He seemed like he had a good time, haha.

Something else I did was I went to the Santa Monica Pier, and that was cold, but fun. I went on the Ferris wheel, and the lady before me in line paid for my ticket, haha. I thought that was really cool of her to do. So the Ferris wheel was nice. I also went to the little aquarium place they have there, and they have a few small tanks and a touch tank. Sea cucumbers feel a little weird, haha. But anyway, that's all I'll say for today.

TTYL,
David

An interesting article:

David Archuleta's CD Debuts Today!

David Archuleta fans everywhere must be feeling like the holidays are coming early this year, as the extremely popular season seven runner-up is releasing his album TODAY!  In an interview with Reuters' Jill Serjeant, David wants his fans to know that they can expect more than ballads from his debut album, including one song that even has a "reggae-ish feel to it."

As he explained in the article, "I did sing a lot of ballads on 'American Idol' because I felt I could connect with people most that way. But I don't want people to think that's all I can do..."  Fans have already proved that they are more than interested in what David releases, as his first single, "Crush" catapulted to number one on iTunes within 24 hours.  It also debuted at number two on the Billboard Hot 100.

While some might think "Archie," as he's known to his fans, is trying to get a leg up on season seven winner David Cook by releasing his CD a week before, he says that's just not so.  In fact, he says that there should be no comparison, as they are totally different artists.  As he explained to Reuters, "I know everyone wants us still to compare and compete, but we are so different. Cook is a rocker guy, a guitarist and an amazing musician, and I'm a pop kid."
