David Archuleta - The American Idol Runner-Up

Is David Archuleta the next American Idol? Unfortunately for some, no.

The now 18-year old captured the hearts of America in a way Sanjaya Malakar could only dream about during the previous season!

Auditioning for American Idol in San Diego, television viewers have witnessed a handsome, humble and self-effacing young sensation, who can actually carry a tune with ease! He has quickly gathered a fan base from a cross section of American Idol fans, who believe he should have been the next winner of the competition.

Commiserations to David Archuleta for a valiant fight. You are still an Idol to millions - and, congratulations to David Cook.

Should David Archuleta Have Won American Idol?

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

Yes, of course!

jaime says:

judy'Z says:

Anna says:

Jade says:

Yes!!!! I wish he did.... now i refuse to have any david cook(<- grrrrrrrr) songs on my walkman

Emily says:

DUHHH his voice is so much cleaner than cooks. and hes younger and cuter!!!

sami says:

yes!!!! he should've won!!

shannon!! says:

ARCHULETA SHOULD HAVE WON!!! he has way more talent than cook

No, David Cook was the obvious choice

Carly says:

Everyone is soo jealous of Daid Cook because he won the and wonderful ARCHIE diddn't. Listen to this... the winner HAS to sign w/ AI and the runner up gets to go where ever he wants and sign with who ever he wants. AI also keeps a portion of the winners money ($). The runner up gets to keep ALL his money ($).
Therefore, the runner up does a lot better in his music career. GO ARCHIE!!!!

alley singer says:

i love you david archleta and will yo go out with me yes or no get back with me at this email singereileen3@yahoo.com

Aleigh says:

On singing and vocal performance yes, on personality no.
I don't think that david archuleta was mature enough. I think that he needs to grow out of his "garsh" stage. Don't get me wrong i think that david a is a magnificent singer! I just don't think that he was ready for the "American Idol" title yet.

beachbum_gabby says:

sorry, but David Cook is my bet. He's good too!

fefe says:

I hope David Cook will win but I think it is going to be a close one between the two Davids.

ShawnsBidness says:

I think David Cook will beat him. But he'll probably be in second place.

Joey says:

No! The aussie boy already lost

Michelle says:

No, the Aussie will win!
