David Archuletta: Next Clay Aiken?

Tonight is the season finale of American Idol 56 or whatever it is and it is down between David Archuletta and David Cook. Both are big tools, but the young, pristine David Archuletta is quite the character. Only 17 years old, I don't see how this greasy haired, yet-to-hit puberty kid is so popular. He sings all of these ballad songs and most likely is going to win American Idol because of his popularity. But I ain't buyin it.

I hate American Idol for these reasons:

1.) It finds the next great flop of music artist. The only two to actually have solid music careers are Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood. Don't think that America just forgot about the great American Talents like Taylor Hicks and Ruben Studdard.

2.) Can we drag it out any longer? I'm currently watching the season finale of the show and the entire season finale is performances. Tell us who won so we can move on with our lives.

3.) Randy Jackson doesn't know anything about music and Paula Abdul is a creeper.

4.) I know you are all looking for me to dig on Ryan Seacrest, but I actually respect the man. He does a lot for himself, from hosting all of these shows to doing radio shows to doing a lot for his career. I have no problems with him.

I'd like Cook to win tonight, but Archuletta will win to become the next big flop in American Idol history

p.s. The Jonas Brothers are performing right now...they suck...

EDIT: David Cook won by 12 Million Votes. I guess I was wrong...oh well...I guess it's time to start talking about "So You Think You Can Dance"!

America did NOT forget about taylor hicks...he's touring in italy right now, and he's going to star in GREASE on broadway this summer as well as release a new album in the fall.

and if you hated idol so much, why are you putting soo much extra effort into bashing it?
so really stop bashing on my boy archuletta..he made it this far and he's only 17, that shows alotttt. Posted 05/22/2008 12:28 PMReply

Gotta love the "anonymous"

guys...its my opinion and I'm going to write what I want to say...if you don't agree with it, thats fine...write your own post talking about how Idol is great...or how paula abdul is not a creeper

Compare Hicks to the other American Idols...where does he rank? He hasn't been what an American Idol should be, which is chart topper.

I don't like Idol...this is true...and why not bash it if I don't like it... Posted 05/22/2008 2:00 PMReply

Seems all you could say was negative!! I feel bad for you!! Posted 05/23/2008 10:21 AMReply

I'm soo happy for him that he came sooo far and I love his music..An amazing performer. He proved a lot and he outperformed his rival by a KO in 3 performances..I'm so proud. He's the best singer for me and my IDOL forever.. I'm happy and have to move on. He's a star now anyway, a celebrity.. I'll buy his albums.

How about all of you get a little bit nore cynical. If you have the time to write an article and bitch about how people go about their lives and watch whatever shows they want to watch. Couldn't you be using your "precious" time to do something better.

PS: David Archuleta ROX!!! You bunch of douchebags. Posted 05/24/2008 12:54 AMReply

Clay Aiken rocks. You only mention his name to get 'hits' on your
boring article. Posted 05/24/2008 08:08 AMReply

If performances irritate you so much, and all you want is the announced winner, I agree that American Idol is not for you. Maybe a competition like the Lottery is more your style. Tune in to your local news at 6:17pm and enjoy the result. American Idol is a singing competition. If songs get in the way of your enjoyment, then why do you pay attention at all? Let alone write about it. Posted 05/24/2008 09:35 AMReply

Petro is under the delusion that being cynical about pop-culture is popular. By definition, it is not. Maybe among your college buddies, but there is a real world outside the ivory tower. Posted 05/24/2008 09:38 AMReply

Note to Self: Don't be opinionated... I honestly do believe he will be the next Aiken. Everyone said he had a great voice, but he has never really been a so-called "pop" singer.. He is more or less an adult contemporary star. Thats where I think Arculeta is headed. Posted 05/25/2008 10:11 AMReply
