Transcript from SnarkyArchies :

23. Best thing about the fans? There’s a lot of things that they do. They are so supportive. They voted for me to get to this point. There the ones who request the songs, and buy the albums, and go to the events. They are the ones who support you and let you live your dream. They’ve been really respectful and have been great fans.
22 Lol, laughing at the username “biebershirtless.”
21. Guitar? I have practiced a little bit. That’s just something else I feel a little self conscious about. Better at piano or guitar? Piano.
20. Spanish album? That is still one of my goals and something I really want to do. I guess you just have to wait for the right time. Have to fit it into your schedule. Right now, I’m working on this next pop album, but I’d like a Spanish album to come out soon. My album I’m finishing up comes out October 5th.
19. Why isn’t your book available worldwide yet? I don’t know. I guess it’s just the cost and getting it out there. I did try to get it some places. But it’s pretty complicated. Even in the US, it’s pretty complicated.
18 Wished Lindsey a happy 17th birthday. Doesn’t remember what he did for his last birthday. Favorite birthday memory? I was in Georgia for a family reunion, and I got to spend my birthday with my family. I was 16 or 17. It was during Idol, and no one knew about Idol yet.
17. When will you be visiting Indonesia? I really hope soon. I really want to. I went to Singapore and Malaysia one time, and I went to the Philippines another time. It was so great. The fans there are incredible. I was not expecting that. It was really neat. I really hope I can go there. I know some of the pre-order packages from the album are available there now.
16. Will you ride any rides today? Yeah, I plan on it. I love roller coasters.
15. If you could tour with anyone, who would it be? I’m not sure. I’d be too intimidated to mention some of the people I’d want to tour with. He mentioned Billy Joel. (Yeah, bb!)
14. Said this is his first live chat.
13. Piano seems to be getting stronger, practicing more? I don’t think I’m practicing as much as I should be. I should be practicing more. I think I need to practice a lot more. Actually, that’s a conversation I had this morning about focusing on practicing. And learning new songs from album.
12. Favorite song on new album? One I just introduced called “Elevator” and another which is the title track, “Other Side of Down.”
11. Favorite song performed? I love Christmas music. That’s always good. I like to do Robbie Williams’ “Angels.” I never get tired of that song. It’s a good, heartfelt song.
10. Do you like monster trucks? I was into it when I was little. I always wanted to go to a show, but my family wasn’t into it. That’s a really interesing, random question.
9. Can you walk down the street without getting attack? Everyone can walk down the street. (LOL.) They usually just say hi.
8. Did you think you’d be as famous as you are? No, not really. A show like American Idol, you don’t realize that many people watch it. It’s crazy.
7. First song you wrote? Song called “Falling.” I was 15. They heard it, at least some of my fans.
6. How do song ideas come to you? It just comes to you, something that’s on your mind. Every single song is written differently.
5. How do you see yourself spending days off? If I had a day off on the road, I’d walk around looking at different places. Being touristy. Like looking for ma and pa type restaurants.
4. There’s David. Talking about phones with the radio peeps.
3. Haha, I can hear David and Mike. Well, could. They keep turning the sound off so we can’t hear David.
2. DavidArchie:
1. They are setting up the live chat. And you can hear David soundchecking “Something ‘Bout Love” in the background. Looolz. Sounds like he was mixing it up a bit.

Look @ the question #17, he mentioned Indonesia.
Yeah, we hope you can come to Indonesia very soon.

reporter: “When you meet people on the street, what’s the no. 1 thing they say to you?”

Archie: “I guess most of them soy, oh, you’re shorter in person”

awwwww D

David Archuleta brings his holiday spirit to the Wellmont

“American Idol” runner-up David Archuleta heads to the Wellmont Theatre on Sunday promoting his Christmas album, “Christmas From The Heart.” The album works to capture both Archuleta’s cheerful personality and undeniable vocal talent. Archuleta has proven himself dedicated to singing, being famed for overcoming vocal paralysis before starting his whirlwind of success on “American Idol.”

His progression would continue after the show with his popular self-titled debut album. The album featured “Crush,” a song that would hit No. 2 on the Billboard charts. Not surprisingly, both of his parents have musical backgrounds and were an inspiration to the young Archuleta, who is now only 18 years of age.

DILLON RAND: I’m sure everyone asks you about “American Idol” and what the experience was like. What questions are you sick of answering by now?

DAVID ARCHULETA: I wouldn’t say I am sick of hearing any of them. I mean, a lot of people ask me if Simon is mean. He is actually a nice guy who is just doing his job as a judge. He can get pretty blunt in doing his job, but he is a nice guy in person.

DILLON: Your most popular song has been “Crush,” which boasts a chorus “I know this crush ain’t going away.” Who was this crush on and has it gone away yet?

DAVID: Well I didn’t actually write the song so I didn’t have anyone particular in mind when it was being written. I don’t really have anyone that I have a crush on right now either. I really feel like I have been married to music. I mean, I don’t feel old enough to be married to anything, but I guess you could say I am married to music. That is the thing I have been focusing on. It’s fun to go on dates, I just haven’t done a lot of it! Maybe next year there will be a time when I can focus more on that. But I don’t know. I have not been focused on anything like that lately. So no crushes right now!

DILLON: So I’m guessing the focus has instead been the tour and the next album. What can you tell me about the upcoming album?

DAVID: Well now that the Christmas album is done and the Christmas tour has already started, the next focus will be writing for the next album. I think I will be starting to get into that in January, so next month already, I will really start to focus in on writing songs, and I am looking forward to getting a hold of other people and writing with them.

DILLON: I recently read a review of a show from this tour in which the reporter wrote that your rendition of “Ave Maria” moved them and everyone else in the audience to tears. That’s quite a compliment!

DAVID: That has just been a really special song to sing and I feel like it’s a really reverent one. It is about someone who was really special. You know, the Virgin Mother, Mary. It’s interesting because I wasn’t even going to keep it in the show. I almost didn’t put it in the show because it was so hard to sing and I didn’t want it to be a letdown every night. I would feel horrible doing that. I told myself I was going to try it for the first two shows in Utah and then just drop it from there. But I just enjoyed singing it so much and felt that it was such a special song. I knew it was a hard song to sing but told myself I was going to try and go for it anyway. And I am really happy about that. I am happy that people have appreciated it, too. It’s been so fun to have in the show. It is still not an easy song to sing, but it is worth trying, because it is such a great, meaningful song.

DILLON: At a show last month in Utah, your mother, Lupe, came out and joined you in a duet of “A Merry Little Christmas.” I heard she sounded good, too! Ever think about having mom go on tour with you?

DAVID: Man, I was trying to get her to come to other shows because it’s just fun having her, but she said, “Oh I’m tired … I don’t know.” She came to the San Francisco show because I was in the Bay Area after Utah, so I was able to sing with her again there. But I think she is kind of worn out. She is running around keeping track of the rest of my brothers and sisters, so I don’t blame her for being too tired to come. But I really like singing with her. I think the last time I sang with her was years ago so I was really happy to get the chance to do it again. And I let her enjoy it, too. She loves it! She is part of the reason why I love music. I would always listen to her and think “Man … I kind of want to be like my mom.” I had always wanted to be a performer like her.

DILLON: It’s funny that she is telling you that she’s busy, when most people would guess it to be the other way around.

DAVID: Oh no, it isn’t her show or anything like that. She is a mom. She said she wanted to, but she was just tired. I was trying really hard too! I said, “C’mon mom, it is close enough to home where you can come!” And she just said, “Ugh, I’m too tired.” But she is such a hard worker. It has been great that she has been home taking care of the kids and all. She treats all of her kids the same. People talk to her about me but she always tells them: “I love all my kids. They’re all great. David, Daniel, Claudia, Jazzy, Amber, they’re all awesome!”

DILLON: Well she sounds like a wonderful lady.

DAVID: I love my mother (Laughs).

DILLON: I hear you’re writing a memoir. How’s that coming?

DAVID: It has been fun because I have been able to show people more of my personality. I have gotten to talk about the things I want to talk about, things I actually normally talk about.

DILLON: Shifting gears a bit, you won a Teen Choice Award in ‘08 for “Most Fanatic Fans.”

DAVID: Oh yeah (laughs). I was surprised because the Jonas Brothers have more fanatic fans than I do. I don’t know. I don’t have as many fans as the Jonas Brothers, but the fans I have are really dedicated. I really appreciate it. They are the ones who allow me to do this. They are the ones who support me and come to the shows and enjoy the music. You just have to love and appreciate what they do. Sometimes it can get a little crazy, but all in all they are really great. And they try to be really respectful to me. I think that is really cool of them to do. They don’t hound and attack me. They just say “Hi!”

DILLON: Well what has been your craziest fan moment so far?

DAVID: Well they don’t usually pounce me, but it was weird with this one lady. She must’ve been in her 40s and I was running to a car when she just screams, “David Archuleta!” and grabs me. She wouldn’t let go of me and she kept trying to kiss my face. She just kept screaming my name, too, and I was wondering what on earth was going on. It was really awkward. No one had really tried to kiss my face like that. And I’m not a kissy person (laughs).

DILLON: You recently put out a Christmas album, you are currently touring across the country performing Christmas songs, and your birthday is three days after Christmas. It must be pretty easy for you to get into the Christmas spirit …

DAVID: Yeah, well I’ve been celebrating Christmas for five months now, so it’s been nice (laughs). I said to myself, “Okay David, it’s weird singing these songs in the summer, but there’s still meaning to them and that doesn’t ever change.” And that makes me think about what these songs mean and what they are all about. The songs are really cool and I’m just glad to sing them and make an album of them because they really mean a lot to me. It has just been a great experience.

DILLON: What are your plans for the holidays?

DAVID: I’m hoping to be home. My birthday is just three days after and it would be nice to be with the family just relaxing. It was so nice to do that last year. I had never appreciated it so much until last year, when I was almost never home. I am just happy to hang out with my family, playing video games and watching TV. It’s nice.

Part-2

P.S. udah bolak balik ngedit jadinya link-nya aja yah. mungkin jeng Admin mau ngedit. please.. hehe

After we completed our routine interview questions with 18 year old star David Archuleta, we thought we would take some questions from the people who adore this handsome young man the most; his fans. We reached out to David’s fans on Twitter and they poured in over 500 questions. Below are the fans that Latinaroom selected to personally get their questions answered by David.

Latinaroom: Before we get into questions from your fans, what is the nicest thing you have ever done for a fan or your fans?

David Archuleta: I don’t know I try my best to make sure that they know how much I appreciate them. You know I wouldn’t be in this if they didn’t enjoy it. I try to make sure I get to know them; I try to get familiar with my fans. I try to make good music for them; I try to perform my best for them.

Latinaroom: (@pam05) David I hear you sing a Spanish & French song on your Christmas CD, will you be doing a Spanish CD someday?

David Archuleta: I am definitely planning on doing a Spanish CD. I think that would be so great to do and it would be so important to get back and reach out to that side of my heritage. That’s a big part of my life, half of my family is Latino, a lot of them don’t speak English, so I want to give back to them too. I think Spanish music is so beautiful too, I love how you can get very emotional with music and very sensitive and very powerful with it.

Latinaroom: (@Smkndofpnutdssr) What are a few of your favorite Christmas traditions?

David Archuleta: I remember always going to my Grandpa’s and having dinner and then we would have a family talent show. So people would play instruments and sing, and tell stories that was something really fun to do during the Christmas time. On my mom’s side it was like a party. It was kind of like the same thing we would have a talent show but it was a SHOW with performances, costumes and dancing. So both sides have fun memories; it just depends on where I am celebrating.

Latinaroom: (@missbianca) How/why he picked up on this P90X exercise stuff he’s been tweeting about.

David Archuleta: (Laughing) My friend just invited me actually to do it and I’ve been running anyway, so…it’s really good actually. It works your entire body. It’s just a good workout. You can take different exercises and they have different programs and for each area of your body. Your abs, shoulders and cardio. You say to yourself: “Oh, kill me now!” when you’re doing it, but afterwards you just feel so good and it actually helps a lot with your breathing too. And it just gives you so much energy; it’s like before I had to like get a lot of sleep. I get up earlier now and I just feel good, and the breathing is another big thing because when you have that going for you, you sing better, like I have a lot more air for my singing.

Latinaroom: (@maninmirror) What’s your favorite song to jam to in the car?

David Archuleta: It depends on what kind of mood I’m in. Battlefield, that’s a good one.

Latinaroom: (@Jonerz) Your fans were blown away by your performance on the ALMA awards. Were you pleased with it?

David Archuleta: Aww, thanks! I was so nervous I don’t even remember. It was so fun, I love that song and it’s so beautiful, it’s one of those classic Spanish songs. I was just so nervous just because it was my first time singing in Spanish on TV, but it was so cool at the same time. So I don’t remember exactly what was going on because I was a little nervous…I had such a fun time…sure I could’ve done better, I’m sure but I’m still really happy with getting to do it. Getting to say: “Hey I am Latino,” I do have it in me; and I want to give back to you guys and it’s me being able to sing in Spanish and being able to reach out to that side of my culture.

Latinaroom: (@YourLightShines) What was your favorite moment of the ALMA awards? Who were you the most excited to meet?

David Archuleta: I didn’t get to meet him, but Rainn Wilson was there. (Laughing) He’s not Latino even, but he was there. I was like Oooh Rainn Wilson! Because I do like the office; I don’t watch TV, but sometimes every now and then I’ll watch a little bit of the office and it’s just so funny. So, I got real excited because he was there but I didn’t want to bug him because he was going up to present or something. But my favorite was singing and having my mom there. Just to have my mom experience it all with me. So those 2 things!

Latinaroom: (@maninmirror) How did you get the nickname Lechuga?

David Archuleta: Well people, like my friends, called me lettuce boy because I love. So some of my fans started calling me Lechuga, because it’s Spanish for lettuce.

Latinaroom: (@elliexarchiie) what do you like most about being famous?

David Archuleta: Just getting to sing. Getting to do music, getting to travel, and getting to meet new people. So now getting to sing all the time, and getting to see other people enjoy it. So getting to see other people and the way they love what you’re doing is so cool.

Latinaroom: (@pastelpastel) You have toured, recorded, performed, helped fundraise this past year…what are the highlights?

David Archuleta: There’ve been lots of highlights. The tour was a big highlight, getting to go to different places…getting to meet some of the people that I got to me.
