NBC's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade to feature Miley Cyrus, David Archuleta

Nov 5, 2008, 05:15 AM | by Dan Snierson

Categories: TV Biz

Who doesn't love watching giant characters in helium-balloon form before overloading on turkey? NBC will broadcast the 82nd Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Nov. 27, and the network has just finalized the list of performers, which includes Miley Cyrus, David Archuleta, Kristen Chenoweth, James Taylor, the Cheetah Girls, Darius Rucker, Trace Adkins, and...900 clowns! The Manhattan-based festivities — which will be hosted by a Today triumvirate of Meredith Vieira, Matt Lauer, and Al Roker — airs from 9 a.m. to noon.

"I was in New York last year during the Macy's day parade. In fairness to Miley and the other young performers like The Jonas Brothers, High School Musical cast they're all good singers but on a very teenage level. Very Disney. Nothing wrong with that. Just appropriate for their age.

However, this young Asian girl Charice REALLY can sing..and I mean sing like a pro. I heard that she is considered a vocal prodigy by many becasue she can sing big songs at such a young age without having formal voice lessons... I did not have the tickets to the Celine Dion concert in New York last September but I read in the news that she brought the house down. Well, looks like music has a new promising offer to us music lovers.. I wonder if she has an international album out already..."

MILEY CYRUS WAS AMAZING
GO MILEY
I LOVE MILEY CYRUS!

TeNdr Sun, Dec 14, 2008 at 06:56 PM EST

and btw bella is now officially owned by Charise. Gj Miley and Rick.

TeNdr Sun, Dec 14, 2008 at 06:51 PM EST

Charises fans are annoying sometimes, but god, they are everywhere , if im an artist id like to have fans like hers.

keith Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 12:47 PM EST

@bella.
That's so racist. You can't sing even if you try so stop bringing down people who can actually do just because you can't.

bella Tue, Dec 9, 2008 at 08:29 AM EST

Why people from the island of philipines starve for fame? duh! people now listens with their EYES open! your charice is a midget brown girl she wont make it big here! no matter how good she scream on stage damn! Foster is old and dying deal with that!

Russell Thu, Dec 4, 2008 at 03:05 PM EST

Hmmm... just a thought... why can't we have Miley, David, Charice, and perhaps Bianca Ryan and Renee Olstead all sing classic songs in the Grammy Awards in February next year? What a showdown that would be?!!!

Lynn Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 02:06 AM EST

Charice looks sooo adorable in that cute santa outfit! I saw her LIVE in Las Vegas last May where she brought down the house and everywhere people were teary eyed after she sang! Charice come back to Vegas please!!!

Tamaha_03 Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 01:33 AM EST

"Wow! Charice just performs better each time. Talk about confidence and pure talent. That girl is going to have a bright future... so is music! Way to go Charice and Welcome to America!"

I witness the parade and it is really great..very entertaining all the big star is awesome. But I find this new name Charice in the parade,she look so cute and she sang because you love me.and I was awe in her voice.
Happy Thanksgiving Day..I have really great day.

abraham Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 05:58 PM EST

nicole,

you even name-dropped Sarah G...you're pathetic.

It's obvious you're jealous of Charice!

Gray_Knight Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 05:19 PM EST

That Asian girl is CHARICE. But I'm warning you guys, if you happen to view several of her YouTube videos, you'll get addicted to her. That was the advice given me but i chose to ignored it, so here I am a transformed avid fan of CHARICE. You've been forewarned !

julie Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 03:37 PM EST

there were two boybands; varsity fanclub & push play

julie Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 03:35 PM EST

Carol H Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 12:04 PM EST

WOW! what a great parade. Unbelievable that Rick Astley was in it, it truly made my day as well as all my friends.... THANK YOU!!! We loved James Taylor and David A. ANDY WILLIAMS WAS GREAT TOO!

alls Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 12:02 PM EST

Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 11:54 AM EST

varsity fanclub was the boy band.

Courtney Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 11:25 AM EST

It totally SUCKS that the jonas brothers arent going to b there. I LOVE THE JONAS BROTHERS :)

Brandi Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 11:22 AM EST

I missed it too...

ryan Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 11:22 AM EST

I can't wait to see the Jonas brothers today.

Becky Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 11:02 AM EST

squall Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 10:32 AM EST

hi charice

April Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 10:31 AM EST

Clarification: 9 am mountain time.

April Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 10:27 AM EST

At least you all are getting to see it. I don't get to see it until 9 am. I don't get to see the parade live on NBC just the Live lousy coverage of CBS. This stinks! They have ruined my tradition of the parade.

skippy Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 10:15 AM EST

sarak Thu, Nov 27, 2008 at 10:02 AM EST

I agree with Rosalie Hale (i love twilight!!) i cant stand miley cyrus she cant sing!! and her performance at the AMA'S was SOOOO BADDDDDDDD!! FLY ON THE WALL?? come on!!!!!!!

ccess Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 04:24 AM EST

charice is far much better than sarah geronimo. the quality of the voice of charice is much much better... sarah is just good on shouting; you know she can't maintain smoothness of her voice not unlike charice.

nicole Sat, Nov 22, 2008 at 11:36 AM EST

hm charice isnt that good haha i think sara geronimo is wayyyyyyyyy better. sorry to say but charice has a good voice but shes not OMG JAW DROPPING WOW ive heard better she's just getting hyped in the Philippines and in the filipino community cuz she got recognized by Ellen and some people here in the US. but she is far from the "most talented girl in the world"

miley cyrus Wed, Nov 19, 2008 at 11:11 AM EST

hi Miley Cyrus

natalie Wed, Nov 19, 2008 at 06:20 AM EST

the cheetah girls have been x'd from the line up fro the macy's thanksgiving parade, i was totally looking forward to them... no thanx 2 adrienne, great job girl.. NOT... oh well, at least david A. will still be performing... cant wait...

Dhodz Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 09:33 PM EST

Omg can't wait to see charice here! the only international singer sensation can give goosebump to everybody! and the "most talented girl in the world" quoted by oprah! we love you charice!

Ashley Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 06:27 PM EST

darn i was hoping Taylor Swift would perform or maybe even Ashley Tisdale!

kelley Sun, Nov 16, 2008 at 02:10 PM EST

sorry about the spellng below i hate typing, but come on lets all pray the twilight cast is going to be there because i have to meet them again and so should everone else.

kelley Sun, Nov 16, 2008 at 02:08 PM EST

Is it justme or shoule some of the cast of twilight be there. I mean come on that is the most pouplar movie of the next dacade

Maya Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 09:23 AM EST

Don't forget Charice Pempengco! She is also one of the artists who will be performing at the parade, although she's not listed on the lineup of guest performers. Watch her guesting on Oprah under "The Most Talented Girl in the World" and you'll be amazed by her voice. She has David Foster behind her career and will be releasing an album sometime next year. Watch her videos in YouTube and you'll experience goosebumps.

Baxter Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 12:01 PM EST

David Archuleta is good, but he's not THAT good. His new cd is so so. Only a couple of real standout songs. It'll be fun to see him on a float though.

pinoyrock Mon, Nov 10, 2008 at 07:10 AM EST

Watch out for the real deal, CHARICE "The Most talented girl in the world" as quoted by Oprah. "The Star is Born" as quoted by David Foster.

David's fan Sun, Nov 9, 2008 at 09:41 PM EST

I don't ever remember watching the MTDP but that was before the magnificent David James Archuleta. I will be watching and tivoing...so I can watch it over and over...

katherine Sun, Nov 9, 2008 at 03:27 PM EST

omg im sooooooo happy david archuleta is gonna be in it i love him!! <3

nicole Sun, Nov 9, 2008 at 11:10 AM EST

you forgot charice on the list. she's the most important performer on there.

vickie Thu, Nov 6, 2008 at 08:43 PM EST

Something to be truly thankful for this year is David Archuleta. He's amazing!!!!

jaqueline Thu, Nov 6, 2008 at 11:32 AM EST

Can't wait for TCG's performance!!!

Suzanne Thu, Nov 6, 2008 at 09:13 AM EST

Wow--see how many comments are about David Archuleta?! People love him. (I'm interested to see how anyone will be able to hear James Taylor in a parade setting.) Yay--it's cute David!

romy diaz Thu, Nov 6, 2008 at 07:24 AM EST

Well, who cares about the turkey now? We'll have our David Archuleta in the Macy's parade!!!! Gotta love this kid..... l o v e h i m. I will be there freezing my pants out but who cares!!!

maxie2go Thu, Nov 6, 2008 at 07:08 AM EST

P2H_How fitting that on the day to give thanks for our blessings throughout the year the nation will be treated to one of our greatest blessings, David James Archuleta. Kudos to the Committee for adding DJA to your line-up. Someone there obviously recognizes the magnetism of this young man.
What a year it has been so far as a supporter of David James' and his year has plenty of engagements to come. I will definitely count David James Archuleta as one of my blessings.

David James, you are going to experience something that everyone in the world wishes they could have. To be atop one of those floats in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade as it rolls down the streets of New York City. What a blessed young man you are and I'm so happy you accepted this engagement. It is right for you. ENJOY IT!

I love you Sweetie Pie.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY! ! !

Palm to Heart

Yahns Thu, Nov 6, 2008 at 02:25 AM EST

Yay! David will be there!! I love David!!! Wow, he's really really famous now!

DAVID IS UNSTOPPABLE ! Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 10:35 PM EST

HE DESERVED IT AFTER BEING ROBBED IN AMERICAN IDOL.
THIS KID POPULARITY IS UNSTOPPABLE - DAVID ARCHULETA IS A SUPERSTAR IN THE MAKING.

Becca Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 09:59 PM EST
