David Archuleta
Video from Archuleta's home town in Utah, where he had the parade, crowds, etc.
The mayor meets Monchichi on stage (Jeff Archuleta, as always, hovering in the background). The mayor reads a note from Paula Abdul. Her song choic for him is one of Billy Joel's more forgettable tunes, "And So It Goes".
This is a hanging curve ball for this kid. His dad couldn't have picked a more syrupy song.
Randy: Paula chose a dope song for you, man. You are in the zone, man yadda yadda yadda. (how does Randy sleep at night)
Paula: Fantastic (what else is she going to say?)
Simon: Very good. No surprises. A bit predictable. It was good, I don't think it was outstanding.
