Aw, heck, I'm not afraid of these nice people on this thread. I see why they are not excited by Archuleta's overearnest face and high concept song choices! Tht about him bugs me too. But he seems to have a pure, sweet soul and he can REALLY take a song and make each note perfect. He is very much the prodigy, and I don't know about you, but at 17 I too had felt enough love and pain to feel the songs he sings. I thought he was really singing Love Me Tender from the heart. I can't STAND Elvis's version of it, and I am not sure Elvis could either.
Whoops wrong song, but HILARIOUS TO HEAR Elvis unable to keep his "romantic song voice" and just cracking up for the rest of the song. For the record, I want David Cook to win -- he seems more of an all-around, emotionally fit person, and he is smokin' hot -- but Archuleta will definitely make it big too.
