Crushed... Unbeautifully - an introduction

little baby steps - maybe the best way to go eh? my first post. yay :P and to open, i picked a rather unlikely pair combining efforts on tour. i'll find my words at some point i'm sure, but for now, let me just announce the joint tour of David Archuleta (we know him here from American Idol, yes?) and Irish rocker Lesley Roy - described as a cross between Avril Lavigne and Mellissa Etheridge!!! i hear a lot more Etheridge than Lavigne though! Lesley will be opening for David's first Solo Tour starting feb 24th 09! somehow, this combo tickles my fancy :) have a looksie! :) recon it'd be a good concert? i recon so!

first, a sampling of David. some lesser known tunes: (i picked for variety - which was WAY easy coz this boy offers a surprising range! bear in mind he was 17 when he recorded his debut album, while touring, and doing school!)

angels



a little too not over you



somebody out there



my hands



running



works for me



to be with you



i'll be (a capella)



and now.. to miss Lesley Roy!

unbeautiful



where the streets have no name



i'm gone, i'm going

this one is sadly "embedding disabled by request" - everywhere! so here's the link:

psycho bitch



thinking out loud



come to your senses



crushed (yup! Archuleta's most well known song thus far also happens to be Crush! :) here's the link for kicks lol - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yff9nCctMkg )



slow goodbye



they're both signed by Jive, which of course makes the teaming up clear in that sense, 'n i give Jive kudos for what i think will be a very nice merging! so whats the verdict then? bound to be a good set of concerts? i say yes. what say u? :)

addendum:
two things. first, please do suggest and share songs/artists you like as well, coz my main aim is to share music, a big part of which is to discover new artists/songs myself. secondly, any general comments on the blog [for example, "dude 8 videos per artists is way over the top!"] are most welcome too :) just keep away from the "hateration" 'n we're all good :) happy listening!! :)
