Hey guys! It's me again. I'm reporting from LA, and have been here
for a bunch of meetings. It's nice to actually be here this week
because, as you probably know, the Finale for American Idol was on
Tuesday and Wednesday! I got to go both nights, and had a really fun
time. Congratulations to Kris! He was really impressive throughout
the whole season, and I think he really deserves his success. It's
always good to see good things happen to good people, you know? Adam
did exceptionally well too, and I'm sure he has a lot of great things
ahead of him with is amaaazing voice and talent that he has. So props
to both of them. I'm glad that they both sang the songs they sang for
the 1st round, because those were my favorite performances they had
performed during the season.
After the Tuesday show, I went backstage and got to see all the AI
production crew again! Which is always great haha. I was able to go
into the production room, which I was excited about because during the
show we were never allowed in there haha. It was good to mingle with
all of them.
All right, so Wednesday now: We started with the red carpet, which
was crazy enough with all the interviews and seeing everyone around me
that was there. It was an exciting show too. They had a lot of great
performers like Cyndi Lauper, Jason Mraz, Kiss, and you probably
already know who was there haha. But I really enjoyed it. Oh, and
Brooke White sat next to me! It's always good to see her haha. I
actually got to hang out with her on Monday, and we got something to
eat and just got to catch up. it was a really good time. After the
show, I went to all the after party stuff and it was great getting to
talk to a whole bunch of people. I hadn't talked to a lot of them for
a long time, and it was also neat getting to meet and talk to new
people too. Someone I got to talk to was Tamyra from the first
season! I was really surprised she was there, and didn't recognize her
at first because I wasn't expecting to see her lol. It was good to
talk to her and let her know I appreciated what she did for me. For
those of you who don't know, Tamyra's performance during the 1st season
top 30 was one of the most influential performances for me. I had
never really WATCHED or studied people perform before, and to see her
put so much soul into it was amazing to me. I'm glad I was able to
thank her again. But yeah, got to talk to a lot of people haha. I got
to talk to Kris Allen's family and they were all just really really
nice people. It made me even happier for Kris, because you could tell
he has some great people around him. I hung out with Carly Smithson
and Jason Castro afterwards, and I also hung out with Castro after my
meetings last night haha. So it's been great just catching up with
everyone! I haven't been able to talk to all of them for a while, so I
was really glad to spend time with all of them. It's definitely been
an American Idol week haha.
Tonight I have a writing session after some more meetings, so hope
things go well! I'm still not that great of a writer or anything, but
man do I love it. Even if we don't write a smash hit, it's great to be
able to get the experience, and feel more comfortable writing. You
always learn something new with each song you do. So I'm really
looking forward to it. WIsh me luck! Well I have to head out now.
But I will talk to you guys later. I have some things coming up this
next week and I'll let you know about them in the next blog. If you
want to keep up with me in a way that's updated more often, you can
follow me on twitter haha. I need to not spend so much time on there,
but my username's DavidArchie. Well I'm off. Goodbye!
