Is the Fix in For Archuleta?

David Archuleta could fart and the "A.I." judges would say bravo.


Davie boy was pretty good last night, but really, it's as if the judges were preprogrammed to drool over him regardless of what he did. They didn't cream over Kelly Clarkson the way they did with David, and no offense, but he eats her dust.

"Idol" has its mitts on the recording contracts of the winners. So is this about talent, or that David is more commercial and has a longer shelf life? We're just askin'.....

1. If he wins- his album will sell 1,023 copies.

He has no star quality.

Ta!

2. Too many females have won the contest, and he's got that 'cute' marketable factor.
THe show is rigged for him to win.

3. The show is rigged for sure this year. A while back one of the gossip sites posted about AI was getting together with producers and writers about getting songs created for him in particular. I've know since way back then he is to win. How can he beat David Cook? Please. I can't stand the kid, but all them teeny boppers will pay lots of money for pins, lunch boxes, notebooks, posters, shirts, etc with his face on them. So I can't say I blame Idol, he's where the money will lay with.

4. He has absolutely no personality..
I honestly don't think he'll have a career after the show.

5. Short on time so they cut the dread lock boys intro but still had time for gay boys after that..... bad idol, bad.. and simon is bisexual incase you didn't know....

6. David eats Kelly's dust? Please... she can't even sell out an arena these days and had to tour to smaller venues. Carrie Underwood is by far the most successful IDOL winner. David is great, just because he is young, give him a break and let him have his justified win.

9. And then people wonder why no one watches anymore. It doesn't make a difference who you vote for-they are gonna pick who ever they want. Archuletta is BORING. I haven't watched the show as much as I used to, and if he wins, I can guarantee I will NEVER watch it again. I bet i'm not the only one!

10. I thought about that last night too! I LOVED david's first song, but the second song was BORING. And they were all over him -- he "crushed" the competition...NO WAY! I thought, "how far up david a's ass are tehse judges" they could probably see his bellybutton! unfrigging real!

Posted at 12:23PM on May 7th 2008 by David Cook is this year's idol

11. hes good- but, hes no Luis Miguel.....

12. I can't stand David Archuleta. I hate his speaking voice, his singing voice, his facial expressions etc. Ugh.
Oh & my 12 year old daughter doesn't like him either. She likes David Cook.

Posted at 12:25PM on May 7th 2008 by got nothing better to do

13. I think David Cook will win. Alot of these singers are great on the show and then they can't cut it in the "real" world. I think alot of the past idol's success depended on if they collaborated with good writers who can actually make a hit record. All the winners were good for what they were, not all the winners were given good people to work with to write them a great album,

14. We need to stop looking for the bad on people, this kid is 17 years old and he CAN sing.At the begining of this season(A.I.) I told my wife; that kid is going to make it all the way. Sometimes I get tear-eye when this kid sings, America is doing a good job voting this season. David Archuleta should win by a mile......

15. I think that David Archuleta is much over rated.
He thinks that he is much better than what he is.
I don't know why Paula drools over him like she does.
