My personal preference was not to watch AI this season but behold I had it on last night for background entertainment.  Did not see all of the young people auditioning but those I heard one thing came to mind as I assume many others felt……he/she is not David Archuleta.  But who is except David Archuleta?  Obviously, comparing them to our Angel will only diminish their talent in our eyes as it did for me when this young man sang “And So It Goes”.  I ran to Youtube to hear David sing this song Paula chose for him by Billy Joel.  Not even close, no one can touch David’s talent.  He has spoiled me for any other singer and my love and admiration for him has grown over these past months.  My IDOL is and will always be David, but if anything I have learned from him it would be respect and his true earnest interest for other artists.  For this reason I will continue to observe AI this season from time to time and my hope is to definitely see David on the show this season performing.  He is magical and has brought great music for all to hear and learn from.  American Idol Season 7 will always be close to my heart.  Good Luck to the new contestants on Season 8  and make your families proud.  Your dreams are only a song away!

In an interview with FemaleFirst (FF), David reveals that he would like to sing “Your Call” by Second Hand Serenade on his tour!

And I really like Second Hand Serenade too, they sing a song called “Your Call” [FF: I don’t know that song.]

*David Sings FemaleFirst the song and we go weak at the knees!*

I want to try to learn it, I can play it on the guitar because it’s pretty easy, but normally I wouldn’t be able to play a song on guitar because I suck at it. It’s such a great song though and you have to hear it. I want to do it on my tour.

Listen to the song. I think David would sound awesome. What do you think? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rgInHvW8Ic

Watch and listen to a born singer-performer! Here is David at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York yesterday. I love all the melody change-ups he does so naturally and seamlessly. Born to sing!!!
