Juvenile

This past weekend, I went with 2 of my roomates Stacey and Mallory (and her two little sisters) to the David Archuleta concert hosted by the school. But of course, I had very little expectations going to the concert (because I wanted to be surprised when he sang!) and also because the majority of the concert goers were still in Young Women.

So having the low expectations, I was extremely surprised that my voice was scratchy the following week, because of my screaming throughout the majority of the concert. As I told people who I talked to it about, "I lost all my maturity at that concert! I may even have a pop singer crush!" I turned to Stacey at least 15 times and told her, "oh my gosh. I love him! He's so cute! I love him! AHHHHHHHHH!!!! (me screaming)" So juvenile, but so true.

So before Lil' Archie came on, David Osmond was the pre-show. He has a voice, I will give him credit. But most of his songs were boring, because I WANTED TO SEE ARCHIE. But regardless, he was a good singer (and I didn't get any videos of Osmond, because I wanted to save my memory card for Archie).

Yes, this does go on for about a minute, but you don't (and I'd be embarrassed for you if you did) have to watch all of it. Even after I stopped recording, the screaming probably went on for another good thirty seconds. And you can hear me screaming. ha ha ha. What can I say?

There were several other songs that I partly recorded (not entertaining enough to publish on my blog) but there were entertaining people in front of us. They were a family of 4. Mom, and Dad were probably around their late 40's, and Daughter and Son were pre-teen age. At the very beginning of the concert, the Dad and Son looked like they were having a MISERABLE time because they were both sitting in their seats (whilst everyone was standing and clapping and screaming) with their heads down, and fingers jammed in their ears. Stacey and I were laughing so hard. But by the end of the concert the Dad at least lightened up and was dancing with his daughter (SOOO cute!)

Archie sang most of the songs from his album and was so surprised to know that some of his songs people actually used his song "To Be With You" as their wedding song. It amazed us how nonchalant he is about his career. He takes it seriously, but is surprised to find out that mature adults listen to his music. He has got such a humble attitude about it, as you will see in the next video.

So after Archie's last song, he went off the stage, and there was more screaming and shouting and hollering and hooting and yelling. He came back on and sang "Crush" and "Imagine" AND a Hymn (which you will see in this video). I started recording a little late in his speech, but what he said was, "I don't do this very often, but since this is BYU-Idaho, I think its okay. I'm going to sing a hymn, and its my favorite. It really has helped me in my trials, and during American Idol..(thats when I started recording)"

He sang "Be still my soul" But I'm having troubles uploading it...I'll have to work on it later.

So to all you people who are rolling your eyes at Archie:

HOW COULD YOU NOT LOVE HIM?!?!?!? Esp. after hearing his testimony and hearing him sing that song!!!!!!

Overall Concert greatness: 100/100
