"Imagine" David Archuleta as the New American Idol

doubleR
Is David Archuleta the next new American Idol? Let me just say this much first: I was never quite a big fan of AI. This is only the third season I've tracked. I actually make a decision to watch the show each season based on the contestants. Before young Mr. Archuleta, I thought Carrie Underwood was the best artist that ever came out of American Idol. My next favorite is Chris Daughtry. Other than these two, I don't really care to hear songs by any other "Idol." Not to say the others aren't good- they are. It's just that Carrie Underwood's and Daughtry's music are the only ones I'd buy and listen to.

I have to say though, that David Archuleta is giving Carrie Underwood some competition. I've been a fan of his since the beginning of this season. Everything he's sung has blown me away! He's very consistent from song to song, and from the beginning to the end of a song. I believe it'll take a bad day for him to mess up. He's an amazing 17-year old with such a beautiful, mature voice. Which, he presents so well in the songs he sings. Whether or not he wins this season, David Archuleta will achieve huge success in his musical endeavors. I believe he will be the best "Idol" by far. Until, of course, another of his grandeur emerges. I'm surprised he hasn't yet been discovered.

David's rendition of Imagine by John Lennon on American Idol on Feb. 26 was incredible! Magnificent! It's just the beginning of the season, and he's already brought "it." Paula's tear session was a bit of an overreaction to me. But, I understand. David's "Image" definitely struck my emotions a bit. I got that tingly feeling during the performance, because I was so awestruck how good it was. Simon was conveyed what I was thinking. "Imagine," as David sang it, was very risky and brave. You have to know you're that good, and then be that good to pull it off.

I agree with Simon's other honest comment as well. I'm sure the other contestants knew then that that "kid" has just raised the competition to a new level. Doesn't the competition and the contestants get better and better along the way? This is going to be an exciting season. I am looking forward to hearing more of David's performances during this season, and beyond.

    David Archuleta is in a class by himself. There are a lot of David Cooks out there. The first time I heard him sing I was blown away. I have never considered myself a fan of any one until last month. I am thankful for American Idol, we now have a boy who can change the world with a song. He has changed me. I have hope strengthened in goodness, and the power of the human spirit. Imagine!

    I have watched (almost religiously) every episode of AI. Yes, I have no life! I saw David A. on Star Search during season 1 or 2 of AI, and thought then that he would blow away any of the contestants on AI (he was 12 at the time). Thank goodness he did not win on that show or he may not have been allowed on American Idol. I hope he wins, but the best usually place 4th.

    Move over Barac Obama, this kid is amazing. If you want to vote for a president that makes you feel good, David Archulata gets my vote! There is something very special about this kid that is going to make him a huge hit. I just hope he can maintain his innosence in the music industry.

    Until now, I had'nt kept up with AI. That being said, I was captivated by this kids performance. I hope he goes far, and even if he dosen't win AI, I think he has a promising future ahead of him (I kinda think it will be better if he dosen't win so he won't be restricted by Idol)
