Seriously bro, in a world full of crappy AutoTune music, you are breath of fresh air. You sound great on album, and even on bad quality video camera recordings, you sound even better live. You rarely hear that in today's music industry. Part of the reason I like American Idol, I know the people that come from that show, like you, can truly sing. Keep up the good work my man. I'm excited to hear what you're going to do with the knew album coming out. Keep doing what you're doing man, and God bless!

thanks for the update! and luv the blog David!!

QUESTION: I doubt if you'll read this, but I'll still be checking every 5 minutes!!!!!

This Thursday, I am performing "A Moment Like This" at a fair. I know that you performed it on Star Search so I was wondering: do you have any advice for performing this song or just performing period? I would really like some advice. I think I sound pretty good, but there are some parts where I want it to be powerful but I ran out of air, how do I belt it and push it out of my diaphragm instead of my mouth (without someone punching me in the stomach ?) When are good places to growl, etc? If you would answer it that would be great! Thank you!!!!!!! Can't wait for your new CD and Fan pack and tour!

its okay..if its fo a better album then why not:) im really rally excited

Yes, definitely take your time! I'm sure you're working really, really hard on this album and I can't wait to get it and hear it =D Keep up the great work! =D

hi david! we just want you to be happy with the album and the song selections, and if you need more time to do that, we completely understand! We appreciate that you want the album to reflect who you are because it will make the songs more special because they reflect what you want them to. We love who you are and are so glad that you can express that through your music! ..already pre-ordered the special fan edition of "The Other Side of Down"! Alll your work is very much appreciated! Thank you!!

David-you must post more long blogs!! They are so entertaining!! And I know the album release date change is for the better! We cannot wait to see you at the TCA!

Can I just say that you look GREAT in this video! Your hair is not "wackety wack" or whatever you called it. It looks good....really. I can't wait for your new album and I'm hoping Not A Very Good Liar and Parachutes and Airplanes are on it, but if not, that's some more songs I know and I'll always have the memory (and youtube) of you performing those marvelous songs. Can't wait for Christmas cuz I am receiving the fan pack for christmas! Yay!

I trust that whatever changes are made in the next coming weeks are meant to be for your benefit, David. So, although I'm chomping at the bit to hear your new music with all the meaningful messages (eeeek!!), I'm content to wait.

This blog is very special to me and I'm sure to all your fans because you're really letting us know what a reciprocal relationship you have with us. One of my favorite things in the whole world to do is to watch/hear you perform live!! It's what you should be doing constantly! I also look forward to the chance to say to you someday again, face to face, thank you. I just hope that you'll come to the South this time, David, specifically FL. I'll try to fly to see you if I have to but that might not be a possibility. I might be able to drive a ways though. Thanks for the blog!!

I am sure that your songs will be very meaningful to many people, and everyone will love them!!!!!!!

Absolutely love the vlog! "Life is good. God is good." He so deserves those TCAs! I'm sad we have to wait even longer now for Other Side of Down. I agree that Jive shouldn't rush into things so much.

Hi David!!
Thank you so much for the vlog - always enjoy hearing about your latest "adventures"!! It sounds as though all is going quite well with "The Other Side of Down" and I definitely can't wait to see your "Something 'Bout Love" video!! And knowing that your CD will be dropping in the fall can only mean one thing to follow - tour!! Hooray!! The preparation may be time consuming, but the end result is sure to be fantastic!! As far as the "Teen Choice Awards" are concerned - please never question whether you are deserving or as deserving as others who have been nominated because the simple fact is OH, YES YOU ARE!!! But, no matter, your fans will always be there for you and we will always have your back - that's for sure!! And you're absolutely right "life is good" and "God is good"! Until next time...stay well, stay safe and stay happy!!

First - about your video blog - I LOVE IT!!! I really enjoy when we get to see you talking to us, enjoy hearing your take on lots of different things, and I actually love any and all rambling by you because it's so unplanned and real. May be my favorite video blog ever.

Second - re the album date - that's fine! Whatever it takes for it to be all that you want it to be! BTW Since you are helping to choose the tracks, I would like to express my love for your potential track PANDA (yes we have a nickname for it) that you did at BYU. I absolutely adore it and I hope it makes the album. Great song.

Thanks again for keeping in touch with us - fans love to hear from you and I think it lets us know that what we do is appreciated. And I hope you have a really great break! You deserve breaks and more of them! Have a wonderful time!

You always make it worth the wait and more! Take the time you need to make it just how you want it and then we'll all spazz with excitement when we get to hear it

Although a teeny bit disappointed at the extra 3 week wait, but take all the time you need until you're satisfied with the outcome of the album David, I'm sure it'll be worth the wait and all the fans will love it and appreciate all the hard work you've been doing

Sorry, another comment lol. I'm happy that the album will be released in October! It'll be a great early birthday gift, because my birthday's on October 30th haha.

*siiigggghhhhhhhh*
