Is the Fix in For Archuleta?

Posted May 7th 2008 12:12PM by TMZ Staff

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'.....

61. Its ridiculous how the judges just love him he is NOTHING SPECIAL I dont see what it is It will be the 2 Davids in the End but David Cook deserves it more than any of the ones left It should have been David Cook and Michael Johns in the top 2 that would have been fun to see

62. Why don't the judges come right out and tell everyone but David A to go home. Can they be anymore blatantly rude and obvious? He's so bleedy boring. He's got the under teenie boppers and the geriatrics going for him

63. Michael Johns is too busy servicing the hookers like Peter Sellers.

65. He has all those nasty old menopausal Claymate fans voting for him. They probably take out their dentures to soak while they watch the show.

66. Sour grapes, anyone? David is always amazing, but was even more so last night. He deserved all the praise he got. How about the judges' usual fawning over David Cook and his "originality." Gag me! David A. is brilliant.

69. Silly me. I thought AI was still a singing competition, but after hearing the judges' comments last night, I now know the show has become a casting call to find the next Disney Channel star. The only thing Archuleta "crushed" last night was AI's credibility.

70. What a stupid thing to write. David did more then just 'fart'. Both of his songs were fantastic. You idiots at TMZ must not have been watching the show last night, because he outsang some of the other contestants.

and for the "Disney" comment. Miley Cyrus is making MEGA MILLIONS singing for Disney.

74. Holy hell, what is wrong with this world? Can't see the the talent? Get glasses!! This kid is a STAR. His voice is unreal. Visit MTV.com and read THEIR review. They know music. . . . sadly, TMZ does not. I will vote for 2 hours for this kid, every single time, and I am NOT a teenager. I'm in awe of his voice.
