It seems almost certain that David Archuleta will be crowned the next "American Idol" tonight, after his 'knockout' performance on Tuesday night.
(UPDATE: Utah is in total shock and disbelief! David Archuleta came in second to Idol rocker David Cook. He shoulda WON! And he certainly did here in Utah!!!)
David Archuleta is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He lives about seven miles from me, in Murray Utah, near Salt Lake City. When he was in town two weeks ago, he was asked if he intended to serve a mission for the Church. (many LDS teens serve a two year mission when they reach 18 years old). David answered innocently and truthfully, "I feel like I already am."
David will be a great ambassador for the Church wherever he goes in his music career, just as The Mormon Tabernacle Choir has been a worldwide ambassador for years.
David Archuleta reminds me a lot of Elvis Presley. He can take a ballad and put his whole heart and soul and being into it. When he performed "Love Me Tender", a few weeks ago, it was like watching a young Elvis Presley. Will David Archuleta become the "Mormon Elvis"?
Not too many know that near the end of his life, Elvis Presley was looking into the LDS Church. He wanted to be baptized and he had a Book of Mormon at his bedside when he died. Here is a very interesting article from "The Deseret Morning News" about this story. There is actually a film being made about it, titled "Tears of a King".

He is very cute and I agree he is now and would be in the future a very good ambassador for the LDS church, but he can't sing on key most of the time. Randy, who I believe to be a half tone off and, therefore, tone deaf, praises his songs where David is just terrible and then calls him pitchy when he is right on. Last night, two of his songs were terribly out of key in the low sections, the 3rd he hit out of the park.
In our house, 2 voted twice for David A., 3 voted 3 times for David Cook. Age had a lot to do with who voted for whom. I think it is going to be a close one as to who gets the "Idol" prize.
David Archuleta will be a Super Star in the music field. He said last night, he already has many wonderful offers. ( I do hope he finds time to finish high school, though! )
I'm old enough to be his mother, but I voted for him ten times Tuesday night. He is the only "Idol" I've ever voted for.
They say he lost by 12 million votes. That's so hard to believe.
In Utah he is already a "mega Star".
Is Utah sooooo different than the rest of the nation???
First Mitt Romney is pushed out and now sweet David comes in second. I pray it's not an example of anti-Mormon
prejudice. What do you think?
