Mr. Archuleta

David Archuleta is a gift from God; at least that is how i feel. His voice is so natural and commanding it is unbelievable. Ever since the first time i heard him sing, i knew he was something spectacular. At only 17-years-old, David has beat out an insane number of competitors, and is looking to do so again tonight in an effort to win the title of this years American Idol. In my mind, there is no excuse for why David Cook should win. Though he is talented and has a special quality on stage, Archuleta takes talent to a whole new level.

David Archuleta is young and gifted, but for some reason many people, including my mother, prefer Cook. This boggles my mind. I have tried to explain over and over again about the differences in quality of sound between the two contestants. However, it seems to go one in ear and out the other. What can possibly be seen in Cook that makes him more appealing than Archuleta? This question rang through my head many times and i could not find the practical answer.

Finally while watching the season finale tonight i think i found my answer. Though i will forever be devoted to Archuleta, he has this quite and sweet innocence about him which can almost come off as being fake or insincere. I never have seen it this way, but i can understand how others could. Also, as my mother reminds me every time he sings, Archuleta is outrageously young. 17 years is not a lot to gain experience and know-how, but in my mind Archuleta has the entire package. If someone is given a gift, it shouldn't matter how young that person is when they begin to showcase it. Archuleta is amazing in so many ways, and i can't wait to see the results tomorrow night. Archuleta should win, but the exciting thing about reality TV is that you just never know what will happen next.
