David Archuleta Nails it on American Idol
David came out dressed a little "hipper" than usual as he continues to find his look and performing capabilities and sang Mariah Carey's When You Believe. When singing the audience truly "believes" that he is one of the top contenders and has some great things ahead of him.
When the judges started it was apparent that the reviews were going to be outstanding and they were! Randy started with that "He was a little worried about tonight with the guys all singing girls songs." Furthermore, David picked one of the "toughest songs" according to Randy but he quickly stated "You can sing anything - that was the bomb!" Paula followed up with "Mariah was beaming...you made her proud", and then Simon shared "I knew this was the song from the very first line...very, very good...you set the bar tonight."
The judges...the audience...America...and probably the rest of the world have fallen in love with who this young man is! No pretenses or fakeness. No pride or arrogance displayed and he does not take his position and his fans for granted. It would be great to see a lot more young people around the world have the same type of character and attributes as David Archueleta displays. You can rest assured that his parents and family are quite proud of him!
In my opinion, this was definitely not his best performance but he really did a good job. His on stage presence, comfort, connection with the audience, looks and his sincerity all play into the overall package of David Archuleta. If he is not in the last two top contenders I will be quite surprised and shocked! Great Job David!

If David doesn't win AI i think i'm gonna cry...
Correction : I KNOW i'm gonna cry
I'm sorry correction: I meant to say "who are NOT insecure"... ;)
Good to know that there are some writers who are insecure and brave enough to admit that David A. is indeed one talented kid. Great article, he's a beautiful person inside and out and has a great attitude. Humility is lifting him up, I hope he wins AI. Good luck and God bless always to you and David A.
I totally agree. This young man is so humble, but what a voice. Thanks for the great article!
David A. is a great performer. He is a humble and very likeable - not arrogant like several of the contestants - David C!!!!!!!!
Great write up. I love how genuine David A. is. I thought he sang the high notes great and it showed his versatility since we haven't heard him do that before.
Yeah David is so likeable. I want him to win AI
he is the best singer for me..Go David!!
I
I totally agree with The Scotsman.David Archuleta is humble, simple, decent, very charming. He's young and definetely of good influence to all the teens in this world. It's good to see more young people like that.Not neccesary to be 'hippie/outrageous to be accepted/liked by the world.
I'm sure his folks are really proud of him.I would too.Only thing he needs to have more self confidence.
