The Davids'

My mum has loved David Archuleta ever since the first day he stepped into the American Idol audition room. Hoping he'll win, she cheers for him every week. Then the finale came along, all her dreams were crushed within one second; Ryan Seacrest announcing David Cook won. Till today, she discriminates Cook and the sentence "David C. cooked David A".



David Cook (Champion of AI)






Runner-up

David Archuleta has a good voice which is suitable for ballads unlike David Cook, who is this translucent, hanging voice which is rather current. Although my mum wanted to David A. to win, Al and I were secretly wishing that David Cook would be the champion. Our mothers loved the sweet, little talented boy. He didn't win sadly. Still David A. is rather awesome.

Recently, he came up with a new album, "Dacid Archuleta" with its hit single, "Crush". "Crush" was a rather immature twist for the low vocals and lack of music sense. Even my family laughed out loud including my mum when his song was playing. Singing something like "Imagine" was amazing but "Crush" was just ... listen to it yourself then tune in to "Imagine".

Can't Wait for Season 8 of American Idol!

David is amazing. In the CRUSH video, his vocals soar, his charisma and musicianship command your attention - he is the rare performer with no need of the artifice and gimmicks used by many other artists to sell himself. He has the uncanny ability relay the emotional intensity and depth of a song. Crush is the vehicle that will effectively silence the critics and detractors who so foolishly wrote him off as not having appeal to a mainstream audience. This young man has the goods, and his debut album, due to be released in November, should establish the blueprint for a long, success career. Bravo David.
