昨天和Ray的面對面實在太精彩了,雖然我以前也被他罵了好幾次,不過我們都知道他是為了大衛好,我們都知道他是愛大衛的,同時也愛我們(昨天他還為了對粉絲太兇一直跟我們道歉!)。訪問中途我必需去接了幾個電話,所以FOD把內容整理出來是很重要的,謝謝FOD!!!

 

我把中間最最重要的部份翻譯出來給大家看,並且請大家一起警惕,牢記,因為我們愛大衛,因為他人太好了,因為他也會拼命希望我們開心,所以我們不要做讓他覺得不方便的事!


#因為大衛愛我們,他真的會願意為我們做別的偶像不願意為粉絲做的事(例如拼命回信,拼命發tweets,發blog,發vlog,過敏沒聲音還要卯足勁表演等等),所以我們要知足,要愛他就要為他著想,對他絕對不要有非分的要求。愛一個人就是為那個人著想!(這是Gen姐不斷提醒自己的事)

#Ray真的很愛大衛,大衛的安全,大衛是否快樂對Ray來說是最重要的。

#大衛真的花很多很多很多時間看粉絲給他的禮物和信,而且他們在巡迴表演的時候巴士裡真的沒有太多空間裝禮物,所以Ray求大家以後如果真的想送大衛禮物,就捐錢給大衛最喜歡的慈善機構,這對大衛就是最好的禮物了!(所以大家在給大衛準備聖誕卡的時候,拜託不要做的太大,太重)

#Ray希望會服裝設計的粉絲幫忙想想演唱會工作人員服裝的點子!!(哇古!!!)

#大衛一天到晚總是在吃,在吃,吃個不停!!!

#用五個字形容大衛:sweet, talented, appreciative, understanding and genuine。

#FOD的Jenny求大家如果Ray說不要在巴士旁邊等的時候就不要等了,因為如果粉絲不走,大衛會覺得他必需出來跟粉絲打招呼,不論他其實那時候最需要的是不是休息。(我要切切的記住這一點!)

  • David will go above and beyond for us, even though he doesn’t ever have to.  So we need to remember that what we get from David, whether through Twitter, in VIP, through his music or on stage, is more than most artists give in a lifetime.  We are GREAT fans…we just need to stay that way.
  • Ray loves David and will do whatever is necessary to keep David safe and happy.
  • Ray said David spends endless hours going thru his gifts and fan mail… I think we already knew that tho!
  • Describe D in 5 words… Sweet, kind, understanding, appreciative, genuine!!
  • Ray said that David is so understanding when people makes mistakes and that he is the same way all the time… Just genuine!
  • Upcoming Tour? Ray does not do any booking of dates… He organizes them once dates are set. He is hoping for dates soon.
  • Unplugged Concert… No camera’s policy… Was the unpluggled concert stressfull? Ray said David wanted the show to be unique and special.
  • David did not want the Acoustic show to be put on Youtube… He wanted it to be special for people who went to Louisville show.
  • Ray said taking care of David is very important to him. Ray wants to make sure that he is always there to make sure David is ok!
  • Ray is answering @starrynites01’s question about David’s fanbase…
  • Ray is always taken by the outpouring of appreciation for David by his fans… Talking about Manila fans at airport.
  • Sometimes fans get a over excited and reckless when trying to get to David. Ray does not want to see anyone get hurt in these situations.
  • Ray did the curtain drop during tour… He would q the drop! #ray
  • Who designed tour shirts? Ray wanted to do something special for crew… Talked to D… Talked about ideas… Came up with the design!
  • Could David see us behind curtain? #Ray said no…
  • Craziest fans… Teens or Mom’s… Answers: Mom’s! Teens are shy… Mom’s want to adapt him and hug him. Flight attendance love him!
  • Is #Ray suprised at International fans that come to see David? Yes! Lots of fans come from all over!
  • #Ray loves Rome, Italy…
  • How tall is David? #Ray said 8′11… he just looks shorter!
  • #Ray is licensed to drive the Tour Bus!
  • David likes to eat as much as possible. He eats a ton. #Ray said he has to chase him cuz he moves so fast. Kendra makes sure he eats healthy
  • David does excercises on tour running around venue and up/down stairs. #ray
  • #ray said that ILAA did a great job of VIP’s. David looked forward to them every day!!
  • It’s 100 degrees where #Ray is. Favorite band is Devo since he was a little kid.
  • Keep gifts to a minimum for the make- up shows! Last night of tour is difficult to pack gifts. A donation is a better gift!
  • #Ray… Canada? D and Ray went to radio station in Toronto… They loved David there!
  • #Ray feels very honored to work with David. “he’s a great guy and a great talent”. He’s looking forward to working more with David.
  • If your at a show… Say “hi” to Ray. #Ray always wants David to have comfort level and fans to have comfort level at shows.
  • Ray has been working for over 20 years as a tour and production manager with artists such as Devo and Smashmouth.
  • The funniest moment with David: when they were in Kuala Lumpur at a venue trying to figure out where to go, and David was in a state of awestruck wonder, trying to understand that all of this (the fans, the venue, the big fuss) was for him.
  • The scariest moment with David: “There are a lot of scary moments when we’re in situations that are not easily controlled.”  One that stands out in Ray’s mind is the airport in Malaysia when they were trying to leave.  “There was not one single person who wasn’t trying to get in front of him, grab him, hold him, block him.”
  • When responding about David’s relationship with fans, Ray said “David, more than any artist I’ve ever been with, spends a huge amount of time going through fan gifts and letters just trying to please the fans.”  That’s why Ray is so vigilant about protecting David’s few precious moments of private time; he witnesses the fact that David has virtually no time to himself all day and is pulled in so many different directions.  Ray is so impressed with how much David’s fans genuinely care about David, and the feeling is reciprocated.
  • Most fans are very respectful, but there are some who won’t take “no” for an answer and don’t seem to get that the need to move away from an area when they are told to.  David loves to spend time with fans–he gives as much of himself as he can give in a 24-hour day, so fans should respect it when Ray says to move on.  [Editorial note from Jenny: please, I'm begging you, fans, don't wait by the bus before or after concerts when Ray tells you to leave.  David may see this and feel bad/obligated, when actually what he desperately needs and deserves is quiet time to rest and relax.  Think of David and remember that he is a person, not a machine.]
  • Gift suggestions for future concerts: DONATIONS to David’s favorite charities!  [Rising Star Outreach, MS Foundation, Invisible Children, SU2C, and Make-A-Wish, to name a few.]  He has an incredible number of gifts and feels obligated to go through each one.  “I’ve never seen anybody with so many scarves in my entire life,” Ray noted.  David is “genuinely touched” by all of the gifts but is understandably overwhelmed by them and out of space.  This is why a donation to a charity is the perfect gift.
  • If you include a self-addressed-stamped-envelope, make sure you put enough postage on it and include both an address and return address (yes, those would be the same).
  • When asked what kind of music Ray would like to hear David record, he immediately answered “hard core rap.”  Ha.  Then he got serious: “Everything he does is totally cool–he has a gift to swim between different styles.”
  • Who is the scarier, more aggressive fan: the teenagers or the moms?  Definitely the moms, Ray said without hesitation.  The teenagers are shy and timid and giggly, but the moms [and grandmas, I venture to say]…well, Ray was too nice to say it, so I will: some are called “cougars” for a reason!
  • I asked Ray to describe David in five words, and Ray said “David Archuleta is the boss.”  I loved that answer!  He also went on to explain how genuine and talented David is.
  • David’s eating habits?  He eats and eats and eats and eats.  Wow, the kid can pack it away.
  • Does David work out?  Yes, he often runs around the venues and runs the stairs.  Kendra has been keeping him healthy!
  • I asked Ray if he had any Christmas tour information, and he took that opportunity to remind us that he is a tour manager, not the booking agent.  He did not have information about specific dates and tour stops, but they will be coming soon.  And yes!  Ray will be on the Christmas album tour.  (At least that’s what I think he said.  Right?)
  • The unplugged acoustic experience in Louisville was very special for David, and he wanted it to be special for the fans who were there.  Many artists like to give “surprise” concerts like this one.  This presented Ray with a challenge, as he had to make sure no one was recording or filming the performance.  Most fans were very respectful of this, and Ray wanted to make sure that we knew this.  He really does love the fans.
