David’s Plattenfirma war auch ein bisschen stolz: Jive’s twitter
Auf Towleroad.com (kleine Warnung an die, die mit homosexuellen Themen aus unerfindlichen Gründen nicht klarkommen: die Site ist ein Schwulen-Blog, es wird also auch entsprechend dort geschrieben), wurde David’s Performance ebenfalls geposted. Einige der Comments sind ein wenig… naja, sagen wir mal, am Thema Musik vorbei… haha! ;)… aber der folgende Kommentar stach für mich sehr heraus, deswegen muss ich ihn einfach zitieren:
“I am latino, and have listened to a hell of a lot of latin music, all my life, but that doesn’t give me a leg up in being able to discern great vocals or authenticity when i hear it…. archuleta has the phrasing and pronunciations down cold, the tone and all the nuances are spot on in this rendition.
the power, and magic of this performance lies in the very fact that david makes you understand the fire, the longing, the passion in this song, without understanding a word. he has an endearing quality of vulnerability that distinguishes him from luis miguel, and other male singers in the pop game. miguel is the more stereotyical ”macho” latin singer… david has traces of that, but his vocals are more fluid, strong, yet appealingly vulnerable… men and women eat that kind of tenderness up.
the mark of a master singer is being able to convey and relate the message of a song, through the sheer beauty and power of the vocals. david transcends the language barrier here, and goes straight to the listeners senses – powerful stuff. and who says you must have to grow into something, or have experience of it to be able to sing about it… if we applied that same line of reasoning, haley joel osment wouldn’t have been so convincing in ”the sixth sense”, cause it’s doubtful he had ever really seen dead people… singing and acting go hand in hand, in that the great ones are able to get inside the character, inside the song, and use their abilities to relay the message in a way that is utterly credible, and authentic. the overwhelming opinion in the latin community, and the latin press is that he was and did both. and the mainstream media is beginning to finally see the light… this dude ain’t no joke, and i predict that very soon, there will be a major shift in what is recognized on the charts and in the media as real talent… archuleta is going to be leading the way.
Masterclass Lady – sie bietet schon seit American Idol-Tagen immer wieder großartige, professionelle Kritiken zu David’s Auftritten. Hier Ihre Meinung zu David’s Auftritt bei den ALMA Awards:
“(…) Despite my absence, I have received numerous emails about David Archuleta’s outstanding and inspiring performance of ” Contigo En La Distancia” (With You While You Are Away) at the 2009 ALMA Awards.
Let me just say that, if you have not seen or heard David’s Spanish number, you are in for a very memorable musical treat. David’s artistry continues to enfold and soars to remarkable heights during the performance of this song.
Oftentimes, the refinement of his technical skills astounds me – he never veers from the proper technical approach in his singing style. Yet, at the same time, his voice sounds fluid, relaxed, liberated and soulful.
His Spanish pronunciation is exquisite and meaningful. He feels every word, every nuance and, thus, is the key to David Archuleta’s musical gifts. He is a vocal narrator of the highest order and makes absolutely certain that his musical heart and passion reaches the center of our soul.
And, did you notice the depth of his lower range at the beginning of the main section of the song, as he sang the words “No hay bella melodia”? The rich timbre of his baritone voice has definitely increased in volume – just gorgeous. This will continue to grow and flourish with each passing year.
In closing, the strong visual and aural presentation of this song was extraordinary. Enjoy the video below this article and, as always, I invite your comments.”
