I would like to see Archuletta win, but I don't think he will.  They've made a big deal here about how his father is a "stage" father, and he's been banned from rehersals now. Consequently, David A. didn't do as well in this last round. He's got great potential, but I think David Cook is ready for the stage.

 

Not that it matters. As Sue said, Clay Aiken's career has far outclipsed Reuben Studdard's (Idol winner). In fact, I thought I heard somewhere that Studdard's contract had been cancelled. As Paula is so fond of saying, this is the launching ground for careers. So many of the Idols have fizzled out, and othere in the top 10 have gone on to stellar careers.

 

Going back to Archuletta, he'll get a contract in any case, and I'll be buying his cds!
