    “Sometimes when you talk.. I don’t hear a thing” :P I love how you worry for announcing other artist’s music.. Thats so cool and no I’m not in Dallas.. BUT IM IN LATINAMERICA.. IF YOU’RE COMING AROUND LET ME KNOW =) lol

    Sure you’ll have an amazing time in Asia, Asian ppl are awesome :)

  14. skyangel /

    Thanks for sharing, giving us a glimpse of what it takes to make a record and the some of the things you go through etc. What you have been doing to get us more music, and good music is like climbing a high mountain with many obstacles and still is.

    I am very proud of you and what you’ve accomplished to-date and the things you want to do in the future. You said in the Utah interview that you hope your fans understand what’s behind all this and what you want to do.

    We do. We understand.

    We love you David!!!!

  15. love this vlog!! he’s just so happy here!!! not that he isn’t happy in all of his vids… :P you can just feel his excitement coming through the screen almost!!! it gets us even more pumped that he’s pumped!!! haha!! :D and just want to say again you guys are doing a great job running this site keeping it looking good!!! more power to you all!!! :D

    Hi David! Thank u so much the vlog. All of ur fans in Indonesia are so so so excited to see u at the concert this Saturday. We’re ready and hope you’re ready for us too. HAHAHAHA. Have a safe flight to Asia to u and the gang :))See y’all at the Airport!! :D

  17. catherine_va /

    Thanks for the update, David. And best of luck as you prepare for your Asia tour!

  18. Good Morning Admin,

    Still loving the new site.

    Something that’s missing from the Asian tour schedule is the July 17 MegaMall appearance. Is this just for cd signing? Megamall says he will be performing a few songs. Just thought this should appear on the schedule, especially for fans who can’t attend the concert.

  19. pabuckie /

    Hi David! You look so good in blue :) You look very happy and bright-eyed (your eyes are beautiful btw). Just want to wish you and everyone a safe trip to Asia. Excited to see videos of you and your fans there. Loved the Beyonce video you mentioned. Have a safe trip!

  20. Robin Tuyen /

    Hi David,
    You and your team will be leaving for Asia shortly. I’m so happy and excited for Asian fans to finally have you come for a full concert. I know Vietnamese fans are bursting with joy and excitement at the moment and they are working hard hopefully to give you a very warm welcome. Pray for safe travel for you and the team. Hope you have wonderful time in VN and best success in Asia trip.

  21. syd-sf /

    Geesh….who naturally looks that good up close, I’m jealous! David, please share your secret on how to maintain such flawless complexion! I want my skin to be as silky smooth as yours!

    Please have your people make available live concert cd/dvd for sales asap! Thank you very much!

  22. I can’t wait to have you back here in Philippines! :D

  23. skyangel /

    Angel of the morning :) The light of the Morning ★ SO brilliant! It must be distracting to see your reflection on your computer screen lol! I didn’t even notice the tip of your nose was shiny lol. Cute David!

  24. raelovingangels /

    Safe travels, to David, the band and the team. Sooooo exciting about this tour! Enjoyed the Beyonce video- one remarkable lady! And PS: Everyone should remember to stretch legs alot to avoid blood clots (sorry…can’t help myself)

And thanks to your people for getting this site updated so quickly!! Man I just LOVE it!! You are all awesome!! Safe travels to your ASIAN THE OTHER SIDE OF DOWN TOUR!! Will be EPIC!!

    Hi David, Thanks for the new vlog. I’m excited about your trip to Asia too. I watched the Beyonce video too and found it very interesting. Just one week ago I was watching you sing at SOF and you were great. The My Country Tis of Thee/American The Beautiful medley was so powerful and moving. Now I’m back home in Oklahoma but I miss Utah. The mountains were so beautiful. Thx admins for keeping David’s website updated so quickly.

  39. Oh! quick thought for the admin.~ I wasn’t sure where I’d be able to find the new vlog. I see now it’s on the front today, & under “about David” as well as far down the pg of the videos tab. I guess I’d love it if there was a possibility of having a “My Vlogs/blogs” or just “Vlogs/blogs” tab.. It would be easily spotted especially by new visitors to his site. Hope that makes sense. :) Thank you so much for all of your hard work here. It’s greatly appreciated. :)

  40. Hi there! Love your vlog, David! Thanks for catching us up so well on what you’ve been doing! :)
    I was able to go to UT (from MN) for SOF and I’m so very grateful!! LOVED the show and it was so much fun to see friends there. Wasn’t able to see you to say “hi” or thank you in person, so I’m doing it here. lol Absolutely loved the Patriotic Medley you had in your set!! Really beautiful!
    I’m so excited for you, your band, and your Asia fans!! This next 2 wks will be AWESOME for everyone! Please take a little extra time to relax and take it all in!! It’s a wonderful chance to visit so many beautiful places (with INCREDIBLE FOOD and people)all at once! :D Praying for your safety, happiness, and health as you travel. Oh! and have fun singing in Dallas tonight! I’m off to find the Beyonce vid you spoke of. Take care, David. :))

  41. Becca /

    Wow, you guys are quick!

    Well Thank you David, always enjoy your vlogs. Good luck tonight in Dallas!

  42. DBSandra-VZLA /

    David, you ALWAYS make me smile!!! :) once again, thanks for taking the time to do a video blog for your fans. You are the best!!! Best of luck! have fun! Dios te bendiga!!!

  46. Heidijoy /

    Watched Beyonce’s Year of 4 documentary. Very interesting.
    what she needed to do to be more creative and live life to the fullest.
    Reminds me of David’s decisions to find himself and his sound. I can see why David found her words and decisions inspiring.

  47. someone could help me please!. i need a transcription of the Beyonce’s part of the vlog. i can’t understand some words.. please!! My english is not good.. :(

  48. skyangel /

    Watched Beyonce 4, awesome! Thanks David, the journey is amazing, life can throw some curveballs, but you and your team are doing an amazing job! Live and Learn :)

  49. AnneMarieFOD /

    Thanks for updating us David. :)

  52. I love your vlog. Right now I’m trying to traslate it to post in a spanish blog :=

  53. pabuckie /

    David, I would love to watch the Beyonce video you mentioned but I couldn’t hear what you called it? If anyone does, can they send me a link?

    • admin /

      I think this is the YouTube, and it looks like there is a longer version on her site. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLvwS5bzMuU

      • pabuckie /

        Wow thank you Admin. and David for that video! Just watched it and it brought me to tears. Just keep following your heart, David, like you are doing. :)
        Love you so much for who you are and what you are doing through your music. This is why I’ll be a fan for life.

  54. Heidijoy /

    Love the vlog and having up on this site too! David looks good and he is such a sweetheart promoting other artists.
    Would like to see that documentary of Beyonce’s. Saw her interview on Pier Morgan show last eve. Very informative.
    David is such a sponge learning from other artists and always showing appreciation.
    Adm-Your brain deserves a weekend off. ha!…but not your sense of humor.
