Apparently, I've drawn some favorable attention from some of the David Archuleta fan sites as of late because of my "Crush" parody. I'm a bit overwhelmed because I've never received this kind of public attention, but it's been fun and super encouraging.
Here are some of the sites: notingDavid.org, snarkyarchies.com, fansofdavid.com, and also idolforums.com
If you've seen this parody and were wondering where, when and why it happened, here's the info...
I am the emcee of an annual 4 day gathering of college students called RADIATE.
It's in Washington, D.C.
It's at the end of December.
My job is to entertain.
DTR stands for "Define The Relationship".
I love my job.
That about covers it. Here's the video, once again:

Mr. Abbott!
Your parody is FANTASTIC! Thanks for letting David Archuleta's fans freak you out a bit.
We love what you've done and your a funny guy!
Hey Shelby! I'm a member of FansofDavid.com and we all loved your parody! It was pure genius! Thank you for the good laugh.
Great laugh Mr. Abbott! I can see David's smile all the way his ears. Thanks, you are awesome. BTW, I'm from Fansofdavid-best fansite in town...woot! ~rika ;)
Glad you don't mind all of us commenting on YouTube. Imitation is the highest form of flattery, so thought this was totally fun! Fans of David loved it!
Mr. Abbott I'm a huge fan of david and a member of fansofdavid.com and I absolutely LOVED your cover! I've watched it so many times and am still laughing! Great job!
Shelby- My daughter is a college student at BYU and she knew exactly what DTR meant and could so relate to your song. You did a great job!
Hi Mr. Abbott!
Thank you for sharing your hilarious "Crush" parody with all of us. You are very clever! I'm a member of fansofdavid.com and I'm still laughing after watching it numerous times! :) Please let us know if you choose to do another.
You are a riot! Loved the parody, still laughing. Would love for you to do more of DA's songs.(and you can actually kinda sing!)
Thanks so much for making that hilarious parody! Had us all rolling on the floor!
Hilarious! Can you work on A Little Too Not Over You next?! Thanks so much...truly funny stuff. ~Jenny from fansofdavid.com
Bahaaaaa! Very clever. Loved your parody of Crush. Keep it up! We'd love to hear more. You're a hit at fansofdavid.com.
Hey Shelby, you know, you even made it to Germany ;)
Thanks for the laughs!

Your parody of David Archuleta's "Crush" is hilarious. I saw it on fansofdavid.com and really enjoyed it. I'm sure David would enjoy it.
Your parody is hilarious! I really think David would find it very funny, too. I hope that someone mentions it to him at his concert tomorrow night in NYC!
Mr. Abbott, even though it would not be good parody material, I thought you might like to check out a video prepared by Rascal of notingDavid.org. It is a tribute to military families, and it uses "Somebody Out There," a song that is a wonderful showcase for Archuleta's voice.

Thanks, Shelby! We David Archuleta fans can be a little overwhelming (I don't know how David handles it so well, to be honest), so thanks for being such a good sport!
LOVED both your parodies. You're very funny and have a lovely voice too, btw. -Deb, Toronto
Your Crush parody is a classic of a classic! Thank you for taking such care in your lyrics to truly 'flesh out' the song!
Mr. Abbott, you are a real talent and I think you deserve much more attention! I'm so happy that you are doing a 'job' that you love.
LOL--but we still LUV David and CRUSH and A LITTLE TOO NOT OVER YOU! Peace!
Good job Shelby! You did a hilarious rendition of Crush. I'm sure the college kids loved it. I know David Archuleta's fans loved it!
Saw your paradoy of Crush at FansofDavid.com and want to send you a thank you for your originality. My favorite part was the turn of the head at, "And I've just got to kno....oh.oh.oh.ow" at 2:38 in the video. Nice touch!
Shelby Abbott...I always wondered how you would become famous...and now it's no longer a mystery!
I loved the parody and so would David. He has a great sense of humor too and he loves to make fun of himself. I saw it on FansofDavid and laughed out loud. Thanks so much.
bahahaha! i love your Crush parody....so clever!! and you can really sing, too which is a bonus! i think david would get a kick out of it...i hope he has a chance to see it!
would love to see more from you...thanks for a chuckle or two!
Shelby...all I can say is "wow"!! I can now say I know someone famous!
