When did you become a fan of David?

As the new season of American Idol nears, so do the anniversaries of all of David's performances on the show. Believe it or not, it's been almost 5 years since David competed on the seventh season of American Idol, so in honor of that, we want to know...

When did you become a fan of David?

Was it sometime during American Idol? David's debut album? The summer tour with Demi Lovato? David's memoir Chords of Strength? The Other Side of Down? David's performance with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir? Or maybe even BEGIN.?

Personally, while I voted for David every week on American Idol since the Top 12 and absolutely loved his performance of "You're The Voice" during Top 10 week, I didn't really become a fan until the Season 7 finale. But I guess you could say I've been a fan pretty much since the "beginning" ;)



Whether it was David's first American Idol audition or since David left for his mission, we want to know when and how YOU became a fan! Be sure to let us know in the comments or you can tweet us @SBArchie_site!

David mention on My Fox Atlanta!

Dale has been hooked on “American Idol” since she was a little girl. She’s watched it every year, been to a local “Idol” concert – even carved 2008 finalist David Archuleta’s name in the cement outside her home.

Meet Allie!

Hey there lovely Archies! My name is Allison, but a lot of you may know me as Allie! I am so excited to finally be blogging again. Some of you may know that I use to run the site All Things Archie, well our site isn't running anymore and I was taking a break from blogging, but I really decided that I missed it and wanted to get back into it!

I'm currently 17 years old and I live in the Chicago area. No I do not live in the city, I'm actually from the suburbs about 45 minutes from downtown, I WISH I lived in the city. Since I'm a high school senior I will be heading off to college this fall. I'm not sure on where yet, but I've been accepted to all of the schools I applied, and I really want to go to Belmont in Nashville! I want to major in Music Business and Communications. I think it would be really cool to either be a tour manager or manager of an artist, or own my own record label. I always thought I would go into music, especially musical theater since it was my biggest passion growing up, it still is, but I realized performance is not what I want to go to school for. Speaking of theater and music I am involved in the top Chamber Orchestra, top Choirs including the top mixed choir and chamber choir, which is madrigals during the holiday season, I am a member of Tri-M which is the Music Honors Society, Drama Club, and Christian Youth Theater. I think it's safe to say that music and theater is and always will be a big part of my life.

Anyway, speaking of my love for music, David is my favorite artist, obviously. I have been fortunate to see him 6 times; 3 times here in the Chicago area, and 3 times I was able to travel to see him. Each of those times I saw him were some of the best days and experiences of my life. I have seen him on the Demi tour in Chicago, the Rockford, IL show, the Waukeagan, IL Christmas from the Heart show, Six Flags New England Ticket to Ride, Motab Christmas Special, and on his My kind of Christmas tour in Ventura, CA. Of those 6 times of seeing him I met him twice at ticket to Ride and in Ventura. I've been fortunate to be told by him that I whistled better than him, he stopped and pushed away his security just to sign my book, and I've sang with him. I think singing "Lean on Me" at the Ventura VIP was my favorite memory.

I became a fan back in the idol days, but I didn't become a huge fan till his performance of "Imagine". I always liked him, but it wasn't till that performance that I really became a big fan. My best friend at the time came up to me in class the day after David sang "Imagine" and he said "Hey you know that David Archuleta guy you like, did you see his amazing performance last night?! I hope one day I can sing as good as him". And then he showed me the video of it on his iPOD. Lol and in that moment we made a competition of it to see who could vote for David more, lol. I would always win :P

Besides being a fan of David I'm a huge fan of Demi Lovato and Bruno Mars. I've met both of them before too! I love their music so much, among other artists like Kelly Clarkson, John Mayer, Adele, Taylor Swift, Jonas Brothers, We the Kings, and Lady Gaga.

I also LOVE making videos. Maybe you have seen some of my videos, including the Thank You video for David that so many of you were a part of, my stop motion videos, or my covers! And I'm also thankful for all of the friends I have made through David including best friends! But, anyway I think I've said enough lol. I would love to get to know each and everyone! I'm a talkative person who loves getting to know new people.

Help Lisa Get to India with Rising Star Outreach!

From Lisa:

My name is Lisa. I have been a long time fan of David and love helping out on causes he cares about. One pf them spoke to my heart over and over again. I can't watch a video without crying. That is Rising Star Outreach.

I thought and prayed about this for several months before getting the courage to complete the application. This was meaning a lot to me and the denial would have hurt my heart, but I have been accepted. My journey was to begin in Nov. but they changed my journey to DAVID's BIRTHDAY!I thought that was cool. I really want to go.

I am having a hard time with donations and such. I was wondering if you could post something for me to help me raise money. I have started this: http://www.efundraisingonline.com/LisaMurphy

My friend Dorthy graciously has donated her drawings on 8x10s for me so I can sell those framed or all them in the Mark.Make up grab bags I am doing for 20.00 a bag. I have 45 more days to raise this. I want to go so bad. I feel I am needed. I can not wait to just see those beautiful kids. I can not wait to make someone feel better buy helping on the mobile med. Even if it is washing their feet. I am grateful for what I have. It is my turn and go help someone who needs me. That is RSO. Could you put me out there and help? My goal is 2500. 1400 to RSO and 1100 for my flight. I already have some of that put away. If they want to donate they can do so on RSO website My name is Lisa Murphy (WI).

If you want to help Lisa raise donations you can go HERE, and also visit her blog HERE. It's a great cause, and we hope you guys can help Lisa out and make this happen! :)

Comcast cable guy is a fan of David!

Ok so the Comcast cable guy came today to hook things up because my family is getting Comcast, and after a while he had to put a box in my room and hook up the internet, and I guess he saw my David cover-ed room, David mouse pad, etc. and all of a sudden he goes "So who here is the world's biggest David fan?" LOL So my mom said it was me and she said how I've seen him in concert and have met him and the cable guy starts asking me about it. lol Then he said he was a huge fan of David on Idol and he likes his music :D

Just thought I'd share :)
