Everything's Waiting

You know what I love?

David Archuleta and One Republic singing Apologize

It would've been pretty win if David actually sang that song in the competition.

Things I love.

1) Singer guy from One Republic consistently pwning that high note. Effortlessly.

2) David's "yeah, yeah" at 1:35

3) Around 2 mins, they sing the "It's too late to apologize, it's too late" twice and the first time David sings the high note and One Republic guy sings the lower harmony, and then the second time they switch.

4) The lack of pressure seems to make David twice as confident a performer. It's a little... sexy. I'm allowed to say that because I'm 17 :)

5) The cello.

6) Jabbawockeez danced to a remix of that song on ABDC.

1) I love Jeffery Self.

Keep David Archuleta Alive

2) THE "YELLOW" DRESS (WHICH IS APPARENTLY ORANGE SINCE APPARENTLY I DON'T KNOW MY COLORS) IS ALIIIIIVE



I have a nerdy fascination with the costumes of the female swings in Spring Awakening. The screenies on the right, from their performance on The View, is all I've ever seen of the mysterious yellow -- ORANGE -- dress worn there by Jenn Damiano who later, and for most of her time with the show, wore the purpley dress. And then when SA ended up with three female swings (as opposed to the two they started with, Jenn and Krysta), I assumed that Socha, who replaced Krysta, would inherit Krysta's dress (which she did), and then Eryn, who replaced Jenn, would inherit the purpley dress and then the new girl, Jenna, would end up with the yelloworange dress. But no. JENNA got the purpley dress and Eryn got a new dress. So I assumed the costume department just had something against the orange dress and it would be lost to the depths of Spring Awakening lore. UNTIL THE ABOVE PICTURE. (Which has Eryn in the purpley dress next to Jenna but I'm too lazy to go get the full picture).

If they're going to do a yellow dress/purple dress/Krysta dress thing now, they ought to just replace the Krysta dress with Eryn's new one. I have no idea how the ugliest dress of that bunch has never been touched while the others get rotated around. I also rather like Eryn's dress and don't want to see that get lost to the depths of SA lore.

3) My parents are back, with my grandma here for a month. It's nice to have the responsibility off my shoulders and to just have their company.

4) I have a bazillion SA icons I will post soonish. HERE'S A SAMPLING OF THINGS TO COME.

OH WAIT LULZ I HAVE AN ICON WITH ERYN IN THE PURPLE DRESS



5) I hope to get all my stuff together for mailing out the first batch of DVDs and such tomorrow (with the envelopes I have).

6) Gahhh I'm getting so behind on GTC stuff. This is going to come back and bite me in the ass, I know it.

7) PROM IS TOMORROW.

Upon further review on YouTube:

David Archuleta: Now, I love David A. He's young and adorkable and part of me sort of wants him to win because I love his humility and all. But. That Think of Me performance was... a mess. Bad choice, really bad choice. There were a billion better things he could've done. And, he messed up his lyrics. Twice.

1: Lyric (OLCR): Think of all the things we've shared and seen
David: Think of all the things we've said and seen

Now, I'm pretty sure, correct me if I'm wrong, that the only variants of that lyric are "Think of August when the trees were green" (Most places) and "Think of August when the world was green" (Vegas). So, David is, well, WRONG.

2: Lyric: Imagine me, trying too hard to put you from my mind.
David: Imagine me *mumblemumblesomethinglikesoftlyhaveyouonmy* mind.

At least the judges didn't seem to notice? Guess they're not PotO fans XD

David Cook: WOAH. Now, it was a little too rocker Gerry-esque for my taste... but he nailed the "be" and overall it was... way better than I EVER could have expected from him. For the win.

GUYS HOLY SHIT XDDD

So, I've been trying to look up some more info on David Archuleta's supposed love of Broadway musicals so I can make a bet on what he's going to sing tomorrow.

And I found this journal thing online that he wrote when he was doing some junk in New York in summer 2002 (he had to have been... 11), and he says this:

"We got up and packed up so we could leave that day. Then we went to another musical, The Prince and the Pauper I liked it a lot. There were 3 kids in it and one of them was in Les Miserables when he was younger, and the girl sang really, really well!!"

You know who was in Prince and the Pauper off-Broadway in summer of 2002 and was in Les Mis when he was younger?

Spring Awakening ensemble member Gerard Canonico

GUYS DAVID ARCHULETA PROBABLY SAW GERARD WHO ELSE CAN IT BE OMG WTF XDDDD THAT'S SO INSANE.

Okay, um, 17-year-old American Idol contestant David Archuleta.



Should be the next epic Georg, Ernst, or other? Bertha and I were pondering this as we watched one of his performances. He plays piano. Discuss.

Too bad his dad supposedly is a betch.
