Comments about ‘Dueling Davids: Archuleta gasps as he advances to 'Idol' finals’

Congrats to David A! He deserves to win next week! I can't wait to buy his CD!

David your the best!! you tried your best and you got as far as anyone has tried!!

Way to go David...you are an amazing talent! Thank you for representing the State of Utah so well and with such humility. You are an incredible youngman!

Nice thing about this is, that David already won. He is just very happy to be singing and the result does not really matter to us. God be with you David.

I am so EXCITED for David A and next week I will be voting, voting, voting!!

I agree, David has already won. As he has shared his gift with all of us, out of pure humility and gratitude, this has shown us who he really is as a person. A man of character and maturity, with superb talent -- something American's hunger for on television these days. Congratulations David Archuleta!

Gee, Heck, Gosh! Go for it David! It's fun to watch someone wholesome and full of life do as well as David Archuletta has done on Idol. As a grandparent, its great to have a positive role model for young people to emulate. With all the Britney and Mylie wannabes walking around, my children can now point their children in the direction of the TV and breathe a sigh of relief that David A. is a positve breath of fresh air.

May the best David win, Good Luck to both of you. I will be glad when it is over so I will not have to hear my neigbhor talk about it any more , Good Luck ,

Congratuations to
David Archuleta. I have hoped that you would be able to stay on A.I, but I do believe that you are no match for David Cook.

Ryan did not say that this could be David's last time on stage cause he was in any danger of being eliminated, it was the same banter that goes on every week. David has never been in any danger, he was destined for the finals all along, neither David has been in the bottom for the entire season.They are both talented and will both have great careers but I think David A. will take the crown

As a mother of seven I just want to say thank you for setting such a great example for the youth of today. No matter what happens next week you are what an Idol should be. We have enjoyed watching you so much. Good luck and God Bless. My son wants to hear you sing "I am a Child of God."

Expect Simon to ratchet up his criticism of Archuleta next Tuesday, regardless of how well he sings and how much Cook growls, howls and screams. Simon wants a rocker to win this year and is still embarrassed that Chris Daughtry did not win Idol but ran away with post-Idol accolades and CD sales. And wasn't it Simon who constantly urged the public to vote for Ruben over the far more successful Clay Aiken?

Despite Simon's efforts, I expect Archuleta to win this year. After that it will be up to Archuleta's song choices as to how far he goes. I would like to see him put together a band of the best songwriters to give him some great hits. Good luck, David Archuleta, from a former fellow Spartan.

way to go David A.. I hope you win.. However I think Murray high has gone a little over board. My student who attends Murray came home saying that a VP and other staff members were handing out vote for David fliers.. they need to realize that their are tons of really talented students at the school in all areas. Lets give them credit too. I don't see this much support for any of the sports team, or choir or anything else for that matter.

I want David A. to win but if it comes down to shelling out 20 clams for a CD? Well I'm going to have to opt for David C. - Sounds a little hypocritical, I know. Bottom line? All three of the finalists have enormous talent and a great chance at commercial success.

this is the best thing to hit utah since the olympics. Congratulations Little David and thank you for being a great example to other teens! It means alot to the rest of us. Thanks to your parents as well. Good Luck next week!

David Archuleta is typical of many Mormons who feign humility in order to appear meek and mild and wholesome. It is all a big act that they are trained in from the time they are young children. Frankly, I find it extremely annoying. Sometimes David A. acts like he has an I.Q. of less than 80! Gosh! He may be an adequate singer, but he sure wont win any points with his intelligence.

The program is fixed, we already know that David is going to win.

you have my vote

I know David Archuleta is going to win this season of American idol! I wish I could meet you sooooo...........bad!!!!! I think you have an AMAZING VOICE and I listen to yuor music ALL the time! I have your videos on my computer that I tape every Tuesday and I watch them ALL the time also!!!!!!!! I can not wait to go out an buy all of your cds.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Randy's dawg doesn't bring it up a notch for the final, I'm afraid his naive humility, will leave him wondering why he lost, because Simon has plainly made it known that his horse is KC/DC.

I can hear the excuses now, "oh, he is still young..."

DA's only hope is that there are more "tween" voters than those who like the older rocker.
