David Archuleta - Archey Report #1 - San Diego, CA
(Kristin/blaykee has posted her Archey Report for San Diego, CA. Kristin will report again for Los Angeles -- this time with a Meet and Greet!)
David started with Angels coming up from below the stage - very dramatic. He really changed this up from the many times I have heard it. It is amazing that each time it sounds so different. He was wearing a black suit with sparkles (which IMHO did not fit well). Believe me I was close enough to see that it was HANGING on him. He spoke for a few seconds but unless you could read lips you could not hear what he was saying. Next was apologize which he sang while ascending and descending the stairs. He had some pretty sexy moves coming down the stairs. His runs on this song were superb and it was really entertaining. He then sang Stand By Me. He went to each side and touch the fans hands. People almost died getting to little David. His dance moves were so cute and he sang more than just the Beautiful Girls part of the Sean Kingston song. It was the best performance of SBM yet. Then he moved his mike to within inches from me and sat on a stool. He talked about the meaning of the phrase I Love You and that the song expresses it so well. (Again hard to hear because of screaming). This song was so amazing I think I held my breath the entire time. He hit each note flawlessly. And his expressions were so powerful. He really knows how to feel and interpret a song. This one must be seen LIVE for the full effect. He did stand and embrace the mike stand and the ending his arms went in the air for an amazing finale. He had his hand over his heart as if you convey his love for the fans. He then introduced Cook and disappeared. For the Finale he came out in a cute preppy outfit to join the others in Please Don't Stop the Music. He and Cook hi-fived and then came right up to us to finish. He looked right at us and smiled. Then he was off.
