don ashley, thank you so much for all the things you said..they are absolutely true! David has touched and will touch so may lives because of his genuine character, that just makes me want more of him every hour of everyday. he's an amazing person, a source of inspiration to millions of people o earth...
Thank you SO much for making this video. Every single word you said about David and his personality, is 100% true. David is a gift and a enjoy every moment of being a real fan of his. You are an awesome guy & for making this video, you deserve these views, comments & publicity :)
Wonderful video about "our" David. He has several videos on YouTube that feature David singing Hymns, especially How Great Thou Art! Wondering if any were taped at your Fireside. Everyone who meets him seems to come away feeling exactly the way you did. Isn't he a remarkable young man. There is no voice I've ever heard that compares to David's. The voice of an angel, and he's like everyone's guardian angel. God must be so proud of him. :O) I'm a 68 y/o female that just adores him.
Thanks so much for bringing some attention to David. It is so exciting for us fans when new people meet him and 'get him' because we want the whole world to know how brilliant, talented, and sweet he is! He is a blessing and a breath of fresh air in the music industry. LOVE him!
Thank you for sharing your opinion abour David!! David definately is very genuine, sweet, caring, and the real deal!! I as a fan feel very blessed to be his fan!! He inspires me and so many others to do good things!! He is an amazing singer and an even better person! Thanks again!
Thank you Don for your honest review of David's character. He is indeed the real deal. That's why his fans love him so much and continue to be so dedicated to him and his music. David's voice is a gift, and his instrument of giving, but his unwavering humility, spirituality, and humanitarianism are really what connects him with his fans. : ) One question though, have you gone out and bought his CD yet? I'm sure you'll enjoy it!
Thanks for your kind words about David. I'd love to be in attendance listening to him sing hymns. I have only heard him sing a couple and he puts so much of his heart into them. As you said, "...never heard or felt the song quite that way..." He is so kind and the most genuine Christian muscian performing in the secular world that I have had the pleasure of meeting. Yeah, David hates to disappoint his fans. Thank you David! I continue to pray you will remain strong in your faith.
I love love love David Archuleta so much! Not just for his incredibly amazing talent, but also for the unbelievably amazing person that he is! I love him with all my heart!! Thank you for your kind words of recognition for him!
David transcends all faiths. I am a RC, but fully embrace David for what he is. He is an extraordinary young man with extraordinary talent with extraordinarily impeccable character. He is a living angel.
Yes, David is as beautiful on the inside as he is on the outside. I love his humble, caring, sincere spirit just as much in not more than his musical prowess. Thank you for posting this video.
thank you for the video i agree with you i been touch by the angel of david archuleta his singing is like an angel singing whene he sing i understan the meseges in the songs i dont know what it is.
Thank you so much for this video and for the wonderful words about David Archuleta.
David is touching and changing the lives of millions of people around the world, of all ages, religions, nationalities, backgrounds. People are inspired to do good things to others thanks to David. He is making such a huge difference on this planet.
I admire, respect, and love David Archuleta more and more each day. God bless him!
Thank you for the video. That is exactly how I have always felt about him. His genuine and caring spirit surely comes through loud and clear. I'm a big David Archurleta fan. I have seen some of the best in concert and David is right up there in my opinion. Thank you.
Thanks for making this vlog. You are so very right, David has the sweetest of spirits. He has touched all of his fans in such miraculous ways simply by singing from his heart and not being afraid to show his sweet spirit. No question about it...David will always be the real deal!
Thank you!! If only more celebrities were as 'beautiful' as David is, I would worry less about who my grandchildren are paying attention to. He definitely is the real deal.
Don, it's wonderful to hear you speak what so many of David's fans have realized for so long now. I believe David is blessed, and that God is channeling his good works through David. And we are the benefactors of this great work, just to hear David sing and perform as he does. We are lucky beyond my wildest dreams. Thanks Don.
Thank you so much for posting this video. I'm 50 years old, and I've been following David's career ever since I first saw him on American Idol. I never really could put into words why I was did this, but Don Ashley did it for me. I loved David's voice, but it was more than that...I respect who he is...his character, his integrity. And like others have said, I truly am inspired to be a better person because of David. I like knowing there's a David out there in this world.
You are so right Mr. Ashley, David really is the real deal. He truly is an inspiration & a wonderful role model for all to follow. What a world this would be if everyone was as genuinely good & caring and lived with the strong sense of faith, character, values & morals that David lives his life by every day. He not only has a beautiful voice but a beautiful soul! Its a blessing to have met David also, and we will always proudly support him!
Thank you for this video!!! David is such an amazing person!!! He really does care about everyone!! I am proud of David and proud to be his #1 Colorado fan!!
I have never had the privilege to meet David, but I have followed him since Idol. I have been to 2 of his concerts and was amazed by his talented voice. But what has impressed me the most is the person he seems to be. David has been a role model to me, and Im twice his age. I look at things with optimism now, I see the best in people now, I enjoy my life better now all because David has shown me my his example how to be a better person.
Thanks so much for posting this. I've been supporting David's career since American Idol. I, for one, can definitely 'feel the spirit' when he has performed songs such as "Angels" and "Oh Holy Night."
In defense of the 'trainers' - David is in such demand that the people at the end of the line often have a long time to wait. In consideration of that, I think they've made the compromise of pictures only. I think it is a reasonable request. The requestor put David in an awkward position.
Thank you so much for this video. I am so glad that you "get" David. I thought he was the real deal when he was on American Idol and I still think he is. I am so glad to be a fan of his!
Thank you...Thank you...Thank you for letting others know that he is the "real deal".
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video!
As a fan I know that after getting so caught up in promoting David's pop album, it is refreshing to watch videos that remind me why David is so worthy of success and admiration. He truly is a gem with about as pure a heart as I think anyone could find.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video expressing your feelings about David. I was so touched by the things you said and know exactly what you were saying is true. David is the real deal and I'm so proud of him for just being himself in this industry. My prayers are with him daily for I know he will have challenges and I want him to have all the help he can get. I know so many other pray for this well being too.
Thank you sooo much for this wonderful video. You truly 'get' David & everything he's about. The effect he has on people is just astounding. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!! Love this part - "I just want to promote the good things in this world, and David Archuleta is one of those" :)
Spoken from the heart, this was so nice of you to do this. It is so refreshing to hear from people who get him.
I am not a Morman either, but his fans have witnessed and meet him and yes he is the real deal. We gladly do charities in his name to help others in need, and do anything to support him through his journey :D
He has inspired me to be a better person and think of others, and I am a better person because of that.
I'm not a Mormon, but I also love the spiritual side of David and look forward to his Christmas album. He brings peace and happiness to people, through his charity support, kindness, thoughtfulness, and music. He is non-judgemental and teaches us all by example. He is humble and true. I'm a senior and I will always support him by attending concerts, voting, and buying albums,,,something I've never done before.
thank you so, so much for posting this! I agree whole-heartedly with everything you said about David :) he is just...amazing! there's no word for it haha. his "genuine, genuine fans" know EXACTLY what you're talking about here! glad to know that more of the world is being exposed haha! thank you again!!! :)
Awesome!!! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with David. I loved everything you had to say about David and couldn't agree with you more about how humble and down-to-earth he is. Thanks again!
thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with david to us....i agree with everything you said...david is a real deal...i love his spirit, i love his music and most of all, i love him as being just DAvid...!
thank you,thank you for the bottom of my heart...love reading your blog too!kudos to you and your family!
It seems David just gained another new admirer, someone who recognizes the 'real deal' and who does not hesitate to reveal his admiration. This is another confirmation of David's profound effect on people, just by being his sweet, sincere self and with the awesome gift he recognizes and uses very wisely. I am more in awe of him as the days go by. He just never ceases to amaze me!
This gave me chills. Your blog was amazing enough, but this video was icing on the cake. Thank you so much for sharing your story. David's fans are so amazing, because he has touched and inspired us. He truly has the best fans in the world.
What a blessing that service must have been...to have The Angel himself ministering. Of course, that's what he does at every concert, every appearance, every encounter.
Oh, also, David's coming out with a Christmas CD this year! Promoting that will help his increasing popularity and ability to spread his spirit! Thanks!
It was nice that you were able to witness what we all know about David. None of this is a surprise to us his fans, but it's always wonderful to hear it again. Thanks!
I am in *tears*. Thank you for sharing your experience with David. I have a teenage daughter and pray that she can date boys as humble and sweet as David.
Thank you so much for this video, David really has touched many people all over the world, including me, and it's amazing how he wants each of his fans to be happy.
He's a great role model, he sets a very good example to his fans.
Thanks for sharing! I'm not LDS too, but David brought me closer to the spiritual, intangible things and the God I worship. I'm so proud to be a big fan of his! - Larissa
WOW!
