Red Carpet FamilyDavid Archuleta has a very close-knit family, as we all know. At the grand finale of this season’s American Idol, we saw David surrounded by another family. His TV family, a family of musicians who were all contestants on the show since its beginning in 2002. They came together on Wednesday night to pay tribute to the departing Simon Cowell.

As a fan who would like to see David Archuleta on television every week, it was exciting to see his appearance on the 2010 season finale of American Idol. The teenage singer-songwriter, author, and Billboard’s Best American Idol Ever shines a bright light everywhere he goes. To paraphrase the poet Edwin Markham, David draws a circle that takes us all in!
