It doesn't take much to make Paula Abdul cry. Tears flow for this American Idol judge over her assistant purchasing the wrong shampoo. Or a broken remote control. Or a poorly mixed margarita.
Last night, however, it was the performance of American Idol contestant David Archuleta that left Abdul's mascara a mess.
After the 17-year old sensation completed his rendition of John Lennon's "Imagine," Paula choked back the tears and said: "That was . . . one of the most moving performances I've ever heard. You're destined for super stardom."
Take a look. Take a listen. Let us know if you agree:

This kid is so darling, so gracious and what talent. His rendition of "Imagine" was absolutely chilling! I'm quite certain he brings tears to more than just Paula A's eyes. How proud his family must be! David, you are the one to watch. No matter what happens with Idol, someone will pick you up and you will follow your dreams. Best wishes!

I love David. I'm a single mom with two daughters and I hope his wins. I'm not surprised Paula cried because that performance sure made me tear up as well. He's young with good morals and I believe he would be good role model for our kids. Best pf Luck!!!

I think he is an absolute doll and an amazing talent. Even if he doesn't go on to win AI, he's got a wonderful future ahead of him. I loved watching how he smiled every time the audience cheered for him. Heart warming!

david is absolutly amazing. I have never heard a 17 year old boy sing so well. i love him! hes so great.A great singer, very cute, has everything going for him. If he doesnt win i will be very upset. Last nights performance gave me chills, tearing up like paula, made me wonder how is all the other contestants going to react for the rest of this season. Its going to be pretty hard to beat him. I lOVE DAVID ARCHULETA! VOTE FOR HIM! ITS UP TO US AMERICA!
