5. Uh, I believe you mean he was bawling, guys. Balling is something we're not likely to see Archuleta do in public.

6. Leave him alone. The boy is young and I'm sure this was extremely overwhelming.

7. Umm, nice grammar, TMZ. He might be a little fey, but wasn't he *bawling* not *balling* ?

8. LET'S ENJOY HIM WHILE HE'S STILL YOUNG AND INNOCENT. SOON ENOUGH HE WILL BECOME JUST ANOTHER CORRUPT, DRUGGING, ALCOHOLIC THAT TMZ ALWAYS SHOWS WOBBLING OUT OF A CLUB.

9. Im not a fan, but come on now, hes 17 and all these people are rooting for him that is overwhelming hes probably exicted, nervous, a bunch of things going thru his mind give him a break

12. He is the most annoying thing to walk the planet Earth.

13. I swear some of the people on here just use things like this as an outlet to make fun of others, only to make their own pitiful selves feel better. The kid is happy, and probably cannot believe that all of those people from his home town are there for him.

14. Oh people - leave him the hell alone. This was his first time home since being on AI. It's a lot for a 17 year old to take. I mean look at the so called "professionals" that have lost it over fame. David Chappelle for one. Kurt Cobain....well he killed him self - so much that he couldnt' take the fame. The list goes on.

15. I don't even like AI, but I think you should lay off of him. It is more pressure than most could handle, and don't forget it is a proven fact that his father is a very mean son of a b who pushes that kid beyond belief. Pick on someone who deserves it like kim kartrashian, lilo, or some other lying theiving attention whore with no talent at all
