David Archuleta sings Selena's Como La Flor

This past summer I had the opportunity to take a number of really great trips to see some of my favorite artists in concert.

Several of those trips included attending the American Idol Live tour in several cities. Why you ask? To see Jason Castro -- and different cities offer different opportunities and meeting new friends in new places. Each attendance allowed me to leave with something special -- a fun experience, a new friend or two, a special memory. (I actually got to celebrate my birthday with a group of wonderful sisters and got a special birthday hug from Jason Castro and special song just to me from Michael Johns LOL)(Even more special was I got to pray with Jason Castro -- but I digress, this post is about David Archuleta)

Many of the Season 7 American Idol Alum dove head first into the entertainment business and are finally getting to pursue their careers along with a fanbase. Some are already on the radio because of the way AI contracts are written and others are working on bringing their music to you as soon as they can. (There is a lot of redtape in getting a song out to your ears for purchase.)

David Archuleta's songs can be heard repeatedly on the radio. He is now touring the country in his solo career and meeting fans. So, Thursday night (March 12), a beautiful sister DH (Lorraine from Texas) attended David Archuleta's concert in San Antonio, Texas. (I got to meet and talk with David a few times and he is one of those with a beautiful heart -- no wonder he and Jason Castro became good friends).

While at the concert, David (Archie as we call him) was asked to sing something in Spanish by the fans. (San Antonio after all has a large Spanish influence and population). Lorraine was able to catch this video of David singing a snippet of Selena's Como La Flor and enjoying every word. The fans singing along made this a really cool moment as well for David and the audience. (Note, if you don't know who Selena is, you can google her, or you might remember her from the movie that truly launched Jennifer Lopez's career "Selena")

Thank you Lorraine for sharing and for giving me permission to post. Hugs to you girl :) and keep Shining Your Light :)
