David Archuleta - Preview - American Idol 7
David Archuleta from Sandy, UT won the Junior Singer category of Star Search in 2003 when he was 12 years old. Now 17 (birthday December 28), David Archuleta auditioned for American Idol in San Diego. After we see him on the show next week, this video of David Archuleta singing "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" in front of Kelly Clarkson will be played thousands of times. Of course, he doesn't have the high voice anymore, and he's more of a young Josh Groban now based on some recent videos of him on YouTube, but I think we could have our first male power belter on American Idol.
