Many people make music but when David sings suddenly I hear the words and message. He is young but he has an incredible gift and I am excited about following his journey. I am addicted to his sound and have to listen to him each and everyday. I want him to do a cover for every song out there. It is hard to explain but once his voice has grabbed you-you are a willing captive. I haven't seen him perform on stage yet but I promise myself I will as soon as I can.

Ok, Ive NEVER read your blog, and you are a close friend. But I had to check out what you posted about David Archuleta. I was part of the entourage trying desperately to meet him, perhaps snag an autograph and photo at the Pro Bowl Ohana Day! It is still very sad that we had so much bad luck! Please continue to blog about him. Hi Capsun-

He is not God or even close to that. His fans just love him so much because of who he is as an artist and person. Why does age matter when you become a fan? Are you a fan of someone who is always older than you? His haters try to shake him off right, left, upside down and inside out to get dirt out of him, but fail. BTW, David is the last person who thinks himself of even a celebrity. He just wants to sing and deliver the positive impact of music that has done to himself. Capsun, I think you are such a nice guy trying to help her. Think about this way. Do you have something you absolutely love to do? Does she understand your passion for that ? If you truly love her, you should at least try to understand her passion too. I've never been a fan of anyone, but I fell for David, and my hubby deals with my new hobby pretty well. He even tried to go to an upcoming concert for me, but tickets were sold out. Julie,

I'm a fan but I don't think he is the 2nd coming. He is charismatic with a beautiful soul and one of the most amazing singers of this generation. I hope some of you non-fans will take some time to google his performances and I'm sure you will enjoy what we fans do! I think the world just needs more ppl like David to inspire goodness!

The "testimonials" in this thread from other members of the Archuleta cult should be plenty of reason for this guy to intervene with his girlfriend. Stuff like "Someday the entire world will know who he is, and others won’t think we’re so crazy" is just bizarre. You DO know this is just a teen idol kid and NOT the second coming, right? Wow. I wonder if this is the weird mentality that made such a mess of Michael Jackson's head? Good God.

Sweet of you to try to help your fiancee. I think David spoke at a church fireside on Sunday, not that it matters now. A lot of guys can relate to your David predicament. My son thought I had totally lost my marbles and fought against my fixation. He has given up now, has finally come to terms with it. I am a rabid fan of David's and will ALWAYS be one. I've travelled 7,200+ miles thus far to see him sing three times. And, I've got a couple of concerts and an additional 1,200 miles coming up. Lots of people have me beat for mileage, though. One girl has flown in to see him three times from SINGAPORE, plus driving when she got here. haha I have never, EVER been a fan of anyone in my entire life. I always thought it was immature, nonsensical. But, I am over the moon for this young singer. David is more than an entertainer. He inspires people. When you get to know him, he changes in your eyes from a singer to a DEAR friend who sings. You cannot help but love him. And thousands of us do. I actually stopped listening to music for a good 20 years. No lie. I listened to talk radio, went to the symphony several times a year, that was it...until I heard David sing. Then I said, "If there's beauty in the world like THAT and I'm not listening, I'm a FOOL!" I have been listening to music ever since, mainly David but lots of others he's recommended, as well. Following him and his career has brought me great JOY. You'll be happiest with your lady if you open your heart and mind to David, and hopefully become a fellow fan. Best wishes!

I feel sorry for anyone who hasn't experienced the joy this young man brings to the people who get him. I am 53 years old and will gladly be following him wherever his career takes me. There are a lot of other level-headed older women like me whose lives have been turned upside down by this phenomenal guy. Someday the entire world will know who he is, and others won't think we're so crazy. Would you say that the people who followed Elvis were crazy or "missing something"? If so then I really do pity you because you haven't known what it is to live. Wow, some of you just don’t get it.

Capsun. Those of us who have met David Archuleta know it is not possible to be close enough, often enough. He's a very expensive hobby and I think you were getting off cheaply that your girl hasn't decided to take off to the mainland to hit 4 or 5 of his concert venues. He's an addiction, that's what he is. Many husbands, fiancees, and boyfriends can relate to what you’ve just written (and well!) Capsun.

Sorry. I am no help whatsoever because I rarely ever turn on my TV, and so I had no idea half the female population had gone gaga over some guy who looks to be 12. I guess I need to do some net surfin' and hear him sing. It must be magical. It doesn’t look like you had any luck. Sorry.

For an adult to be traipsing all over an island to get the attention of an 18 year old boy there must be something missing in her life. It's just a tad bit weird. Be a fan, that's fine, but this need she has to meet him screams "inappropriate fixation." We aren't entitled to meet celebrities but her stalking is bizarre.
