Archuleta Saw "Angels" Way Before Idol

31. David A. has undeniable talent. His voice is amazingly mature; but the rest of him, not so much. Hey, he's 17 years old..he shouldn't be behaving like a wiseass beyond his years. He will have a career, in spite of his father. David C. is also terrific, he handles his performancs like a pro..same with Carly. She is gifted with a beautiful voice; she just needs to give more consideration to her song choices and choose songs with a bit more mass appeal. I think this is the most talented group of A I finalists in the history of the program.

32. You know that hyperventilating daddy's boy drives me crazy! He has been groomed very well and the cute little "Oh really (inhale) ... thanks (inhale)" shtick is old and not very believable.

He reminds me of a puppy chew toy. Now if only he could get his father the Rottweiller off his ass he won't need as much therapy in a few years. Somebody get this kid Mylie Cyrus' number.

33. Star, I think the song "Angels" was originally performed by Robbie Williams, but was later covered by Jessica Simpson. I vaguely remember seeing a video of her singing on a rooftop with a lot of birds flying around.. I think that was her cover of it.

34. Does it matter if he sang it before?? Some of the Idols have record deals... just because he sang it before does not mean that he is not IDOL material...give me a break!

35. And? This bothers you and we should care because?

36. Who cares when he sang it before? What difference does it make? He did a great job. I am sure that all the other contestants that have a singing background use songs they have done before. They are probably comfortable with a song they know and have done before. I can remember some of the scathing remarks from the judges when someone forgets the lyrics. Leave all of them alone......no one except a few people that would complain if they were given a sackful of money and bi%#* that it was dirty.

38. Music is so subjective. I just don't get the hate mongers. If I hear a song on the radio I don't like, I turn if off but I don't hate on the artist (except for Paris Hilton maybe).

I don't get the people calling him boring....... like you are all so fascinating. People it's music and either enjoy it or turn it off!

39. TMZ--this is such old news. Seriously. AND it's lame. Come up with some useful stuff, please and thank you.

40. So he sang the song before, big deal. Do you think others on the show always maiden voyage it with the songs they choose? They're pulling from their own repertoires when they can; they'd be stupid not to. All of the Idols have sung in public many times before. If they're familiar with a song and it suits the night's theme, great, more power to 'em. Sing away.

41. If I didn't know what this kid sounded like talking or looked like, I might be ok with him, but because I do know what his goofy innocent talking sounds like and what he looks like when he talks, I can't stand him. He's so immature, I don't even think he knows what American Idol could do for him. Maybe he could go be a wedding singer somewhere.

42. "mommy," he's 17. He has an extremely domineering father. I don't think he's had much of an actual childhood, as he's been performing, constantly. You're a mom(?)...Give him a break.

43. Husky McMuppet is the most annoying thing to happen to AI since Sanjaya. He suffers from an acute case of Doolittle-itis. Symptoms include: constant smiling, faux-humbleness, bad jokes, and general fakeness all around.

He has one vocal style: ballad. He doesn't even have the personality like other one-trick-ponies like Michael Buble. He'll continue the streak of crappy album sales by Idol winners.

44. TMZ, he never said the song was new to him......sheesh, always trying to create drama where none exists. He said he was having a hard time deciding which song.

45. so according to tmz all AI contestants most be totally new to singing.....the requesits is to never ever had sung in oublic. or have a video of it..........
