okay, I have avoided the urge to blog about good old American Idol, opting to leave that to others who are better than me. But, I have to say how amazingly offended I am by the pimping I am watching. The judges decided long ago that no matter what Archuleta sang, they would love it. It shows when his songs sound the same every night. Tonight the sickeningly sappy praise over his pre-pubescent ick was just too much. If Archuleta loses it will disprove that it is rigged, but I am beginning to side with the conspiracy nuts on this one.
His groban-esque, world-loving, unity songs drip with the kind of teen naivite which makes all of us who have lived a life chuckle. Who knows? I was telling Cathy that he will probably sell just as many CD's as Clay Aiken, but I could not name a single song which Clay sings. Perhaps Archuleta will be the new Zamphir, Master of the Pan Flute.

Clay Aiken sold 613,000 copies of his first album and sold 3 Million total copies of that album. Do you really think David A will sell that many?
Season 2 Hype was so much bigger than the hype this year.
I think he'll do well, but your hopes are a bit unrealistic.
Wow, not sure how one could read my post and think I had "hopes" for Archuleta. I was trying to give him some credit in saying that I just don't get his appeal, like I don't get Clay Aiken or Josh Groban, but they sell a lot of CD's. I am proud, however, to say that while I assume your numbers are accurate, I don't feel the need to find out. Thanks for reading my rant, though. Cheers!
You crack me up, Chris. I think it is better for Cook's career if he doesn't win...then he can do more of his own thing...which I can't help but think would NOT include pretending to be a boxer.
David A is talented for sure, but I'm definitely a Cook fan.
