"...THIS is American Idol"

okay, so I've never really followed a TV show faithfully until the last few weeks of American Idol, and I have never voted, not even remotely considered it, until this week. But Simon couldn't have put it better when he said to David Archuleta, "You didn't just beat the competition...you crushed the competition." Not only did he sing two songs that I know and love - "Stand By Me" and "Love Me Tender" - he completely nailed them. Aah! They were awesome/beautiful! And I can't forget to mention the fact that he is just...cute! I'm not talking screaming-teeny-bopper-girls "oh-he's-so-cuuuuuute!-I-wanna-go-out-with-him!"...no, no, I'm talking about the "you-sure-I-can't-claim-you-as-my-little-brother" kind of cute. He's humble and unassuming, always nervous about what the judges'll say and so thankful when they say good things...which has been basically every week since the beginning, as I look back and do some research. So anyway, I probably called and got through 20-25 times...just wanna make sure this boy WINS!! :)
