EARLY PREDICTION

This is David Archuleta. He's 16 years old, and he's from Salt Lake City, Utah. (kinda started to sound like a Unicef Ad)

If you haven't been watching the latest season of American Idol, you probably don't know who he is.

He's in the Top 24, and the youngest in the batch.

I am going to pull a Simon, and make an early prediction that this kid will be this year's American Idol.

He has a smokin' voice, he's goodlooking, very likeable, and has a winner smile too!

Randy Jackson is super impressed with him. Paula thinks he's adorable. And Simon says he's got the whole package.

And with the High School Musical fever still around, how can he not win? Kids are gonna adore him!

If Sanjaya Malakar was able to make that kid cry, wait 'til that kid hears David.

See what I mean. He even makes one of the back-up singers tear up:
