I just turned an 80 year old woman, and much of my days I spend listening to CD's of Josh Groban. David Archuleta reminds me of his beautiful songs. You never get too old to appreciate such talent. Each American Idol night I watch David with a smile, and I am only sad when the last note has been sang. God Bless You David Archuleta, and please stay an honorable and good person. Do not ever lose your way in this world that is so full of temptations.

David Cook is the most deserving... he should win but I'd rather he take 2nd place to avoid the "winner curse" and have more control over his career.

So, let Archuleta win... no problem with that as he NEEDS to be molded and shaped... he needs guidence in order to succeed properly and thus might benefit from being overly controled by "Idol" producers for the next year and during the creation of his debut CD.

Next week I plan to vote for Cook heavily to assure he's in the final two, then on the final I'll vote for Archuleta to help ensure Cook gets the better position long term career wise... 2nd place. The longer you're in it, but without winning, the more free huge media exposure and promotion you get.

There are many things Archuleta needs to fix about himself, but Cook is ready to go into stardom... he's already there.

What's wrong with Archuleta? He never varries his singing style/delivery, doesn't try to match it with the song and more often than not fails to sell it. He shouldn't sound like he's doing a ballad when it's up-temp/rock. He stays in his safety zone.

It's very unusual that I felt 'hope' when I started listening to David sing; and it's even more unusual that others felt that way too! I love David Archuleta! He's a like a rainbow!
