I’ve always been interested in this group ever since I saw them on TV. And now I’m even more interested to see it since David definitely digs them enough to go see them. And we all know he has great taste, especially in music. For those of you who don’t know who they are. Let me give you a little info.

Here’s how they look like. Cool huh?

What is Blue Man Group?
Blue Man Group is a creative organization dedicated to creating exciting and innovative work in a wide variety of media.

Blue Man Group is best known for their wildly popular theatrical shows and concerts which combine music, comedy and multimedia theatrics to produce a totally unique form of entertainment. The blissful party atmosphere created at their live events has become the trademark of a Blue Man Group experience.

Now back to David:
Here’s the evidence that he indeed went to watch them perform.

*Star surveillance: David Archuleta, the American Idol runner-up who won 44 percent of the votes from last season, attended the Blue Man Group’s late show at The Venetian.

He’s unbelievable

He climbes a fence just to talk to his fans. Wow. This guy is totally… Wow. haha

Thanks to snarkys for posting this one. I just couldn’t resist. This pic totally captures how he values his fans. Now climb down from there else you’ll give me a heart attack. Haha.

It’s the Archie Rap

Since the embedding stuff still doesn’t work for me. LOL. Click the screencap to view the vid.

Thanks to wincy at ta intl for the heads up!

Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr.’s second inauguration has been scaled back to reflect the state’s tough economic times — but that doesn’t mean there won’t be big-name entertainment at next Monday’s ceremony.

David Archuleta, the Murray High School student who became an “American Idol” finalist, will sing the national anthem, the governor’s office announced. Archuleta performed the anthem at Huntsman’s first swearing-in four years ago.

David Archuleta: Where Did He Come From?

“American Idol” is a lot like a political campaign, and the contestant’s high school is a lot like their campaign headquarters. We loved catching up with David Archuleta’s current classmates, but it was our chat with his childhood vocal coach that really opened our eyes. After our interview, he played us a brilliant demo of “Imagine” that Archie recorded when he was only 12 years old, half a decade before he pulled that song out of his back pocket on TV and floored all of us — the viewers, the judges, the other contestants — with one of the best performances in “Idol” history!

SU2C: Crush Kids’ Cancer updates!

Hello again Archies, it’s Pecan Pie. At present, our team holds the lead by a slim margin of about $700 and has apparently been too busy celebrating yesterday’s big event to keep up the pace with donations. The way I see it, the Crush Kids’ Cancer – David Archuleta’s Angels Team is a brand new team as of December 28th, 2008. Before that date, we were honoring a kind, generous, talented BOY named David Archuleta – a mini-hunk, if you will. Today, we have a team in honor of a compassionate, extraordinary MAN of the same name who has chosen to use his rare gift as a means of reaching out to others so that they should, in turn, have the same opportunity as he has had to grow into happy healthy adults. Now that he has achieved full-blown hunkdom, I dub him the Half-Honduran Hunk (I’m all about the alliteration) and clearly no wimpy little $700 lead over the second team will do. So let’s give some big, hunky donations and show the world on national television that no one knows how to Stand Up to Cancer bigger and stronger than our man DJ H3 (the Half-Honduran Hunk needs a new gangsta name to go with his new manly self, right?). Don’t forget, Santa has agreed to release the conclusion of the “are you Pecan Pie” video only if our team raises the most money by the deadline. To hug or not to hug, ahhh that IS the question.

David Archuleta Is Now a Man

The real winner of American Idol has turned 18.

A happy belated birthday to the most talented singing sensation ever to take the stage! American Idol’s true winner turned 18 yesterday, which means David’s of legal age to marry. So if you’ll excuse us, we need to step out and buy something in a little blue box. But is he the brilliant- or princess-cut type? Oh, who are we kidding — he’s BOTH. [Confessions of an 'Idol' Addict]

Crush is Global!

‘Crush’ is the brilliant debut single from 17 year old David Archuleta. David is already a huge star in the US where he was placed second on Forbes List of Breakout Stars of 2008.

‘Crush’ debuted at No.2 in the Billboard charts and went on to sell over a million downloads.

David Archuleta was the runner-up on the 2008 season of American Idol, his debut album ‘David Archuleta’, entered the Billboard 200 at No.2 with first week sales of almost 200,000, making it the fastest selling debut album by an American Idol contestant.

It will be released in the UK on 2nd March.

David Archuleta is from Murray, Utah, a town outside Salt Lake City. He came to national attention and captured the hearts and imagination of a nation with several show-stopping performances on ‘American Idol.’

ALTNOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYY

So, I guess it’s TRUE that ALNTOY will have a radio mix, and probably a new release on iTunes, come January. Yay!

New CD art/cover for the win!

Before you listen, here’s Jive’s (idf) listing of “changes” in this new version. Check which ones you notice yourself.

They’ve added reverb to his voice

They’ve cleaned up a lot of the busy-ness in the final choruses…brought out the electric guitar and did away with all the hyper synth stuff

They really brought out or added a high-hat cymbal or ride cymbal that plays a driving sixteenth-note rhythm throughout.

They added an echo to David’s last line…before it was just the guitar riff that echoed.

Overall I think it’s a much cleaner mix.

More guitar-driven and less synthy.

edit:

here’s chris’ (chenson/idf) observation:

Ok its not DRASTICALLY different. The acoustic guitar has been brought forward and there is a bit more bass definition and they have done away with some of the synth noise and made the drums sound more organic. It generally sounds a tad cleaner. Sounds like a tweaked production rather than a drastic re-mix.

and from snarkys’, here’s the email from Co-writer/producer Mike Krompass:

The radio mix is the same version, just a little big bigger and hi-fi sounding…. in general just sounds better  It’s the same version that appears on the ALTNOY video on itunes.

/edit.

Here’s the radio mix for ALTNOY!
