Can’t Let the Music Stop
May 18th, 2009Dear Archie and DC,
Roughly a year ago, you belted your hearts out and battled it out onstage for the American Idol crown. When you stood before the judges and the waiting crowd, you were probably nervous and excited, or perhaps you just wanted to hear the results so life can finally go on for you. Maybe you were praying you’d win, or maybe at that point, you didn’t care about the title anymore—having come that far was already enough. Whatever you were thinking at that moment, I bet you never imagined that twelve months later, you’d be halfway around the globe performing in front of tens of thousands of people, all singing your songs right back at you.
Most people would gush about your good looks, or praise your musical talent. But I think the most impressive thing about you is your passion for what you do. Last Saturday’s concert was amazing not because you made all the girls giggly and giddy, but because you performed with such big voices and even bigger hearts. That night will be memorable for everyone who watched because you gave us the show we deserved, without the need for fancy gimmicks or distracting effects. It was like you knew how much your Filipino fans loved you, and you wanted to give back that love with every note you played and every word you sang.
You must have thanked us a dozen times, but it is actually US who should be grateful. You exceeded our expectations, and we don’t regret the hours we spent waiting or the money we spent for tickets at all. You made us happy with your music, and as you took your final bow, slung an arm around each other and walked away from the stage to cheers and applause from strangers and friends, we had no doubt that you were headed towards a bounty of bigger, brighter things.
We love you, David & David! 
Big hugs from huge fans,
Marla, Angel, and Mimi
