Apparently she is feeling the love a lot more than I. She had just finished watching last night's performance and had gone through a box of tissues after hearing sweet Little David sing Imagine. Wow. No Idol has ever brought me to tears. Taylor Hicks nearly reduced me to tears, but they were not tears of joy. And while I like sweet Little David, a lot, I just can't get on board with anybody this early in the season. Back in the day, I wouldn't even tune in until the Top Ten were in place.
But my friend wants me to write more about him. I don't know what else to say? I guess I could make some stuff up? I just got on YouTube and there were lots of David Archuleta hits including one where he was singing Imagine on some morning news show. Swear. It was a few years ago, so I'm going to assume that he has sang his fair share of that song.
He's young, but he's been at it for awhile, for sure. Apparently he won Star Search when he was 12? And we saw him stalking Kelly Clarkson in last night's Up Close and Personal (and by the way, the video endeared me to Kelly even more. She's a class act). So he's had his eye on the Idol prize for quite some time, too. I mean, yeah, Little David is really good. But there is something a little unnerving about him. I mean, the boy has been working it. For a long time.
We'll have to wait and see. I still think Michael Johns has some major potential, too. And I'm still hoping that one of the girls wins my heart.
I know it's a singing competition, but you need a personality, too. I find David Cook hard on the eyes, but I promise you, if I liked his personality, that same balding head, squinty eyes and bad facial hair would be a lot easier on my eyes. Sweet Little David has the voice and the personality, so he's two for two. For now....
Until tonight...

Tween heart throb David is the one to beat. Man will the label make some money on him. It's a bonus that he is so talented but wow is he marketable! Glad you got your blog back!
If Idol were as interesting as your blog, I would watch. If this comment shows up 87 times, it's my stupid Google account that won't let me erase old email addresses. Can Uncle Ryan help with that?
Guiding Light - that's Hilarious! Hope all is well in the north country.
David A was great. So great I went back and watched the performance again. Twice. But I hate hearing that he sung 'Imagine' years ago. Part of the magic for me was that he did all of that (picked the song, worked out the details, polished it ever so perfectly) in just a week. Not so. Kinda takes the luster off his performance for me. But man, it was still so good.
