archuleta: voice isn't everything

Time for David Archuleta, whose spot on AI has made him miss his high school prom. His would-be date is in the audience. We also get to see scary stage dad. I kind of love watching him do the Mexican hat dance.

Song: "Your Voice"

Me: Wow...he gets the only 90s song of the bunch, and he picks something totally unknown. Please make him be criticized for that. I don't love this performance, either. It ages him like 40 years. He becomes some inspirational singer doing the same verse over and over. I can't even understand what he's saying. Nobody knows this song, and he certainly didn't do a very good job of selling it. Not enjoyable.

Randy: "It was a strange song choice for me...but it was still very nice."

Paula: "You can sing the phone book and we'd fall in love with you."

Simon: "I actually didn't like the performance at all."

his cuteness is going to keep him around for while unfortunately.

it made me feel uncomfortable to watch him sing this song, he's too goofy all that hand slapping on his leg and picking songs that sound like Mister Mister B sides, just awful all around...

I am so over this boy. I liked the 'purety' of his voice at the beginning, but he's way too giggly and naive i think

Bad song choice, but he'll rebound. I expect he will be around until the end. Most of the voters are young pre-teen or teenage girls, and he definitely has appeal to them. He did a great job on "Long and Winding Road," and he CAN sing, so we will just have to wait and see...
