Aside from the performance of David Cook, one of the biggest revelations of last night's episode of American Idol may not have taken place on stage.
Sitting right next to David Archuleta's father in the American Idol audience was ... wait for it ... his girlfriend! Yes, the 17-year-old is off the market!
After David Archuleta performed on American Idol Tuesday, he received generally positive comments from the judges while his dad and girlfriend looked on.
While millions of teenage girls may have had their hearts broken by this news, one woman is happy about it: Carly Smithson. She was by far the most hated person on American Idol this season before this news. Now she's got competition!
Then again, David Archuleta is still oh-so-young, and we've all seen in the past what the fame of American Idol does to pre-existing relationships.
Our favorite, Carrie Underwood, broke up with her boyfriend after she won, while Anthony Fedorov broke up with a girlfriend publicly on the Internet after the show, Haley Scarnato called off her engagement, Bucky Covington got a divorce, etc.
Keep hope alive, David Archuleta lovers!

I think all of the Arch Angels agree that this girl is just one of his good friends that he hangs around with in Utah. She's on one of the FOX interviews with his other friends. He said he wants to focus on his music and career right now. So David A. fans, don't jump to conclusions...until you hear it from David himself! It's good that he has friends there to support him from his school. KEEP ON VOTING!!

The AI site even mentioned that one of his BF from school would be there to support him!

hey, he never said that was his girlfriend! first of all, he said he didnt know if she would say yes, so she cant be his girlfriend. second of all, he was on an interview on FOX only a couple weeks ago and he said he wasnt in a relationship. So no jumping to conclusions!

Calm down silly girls. You do realize that none of you have a chance with him. He is now famous and all of you are not in his league anymore. Now if you met him months ago b4 the fame you would have though he was a little geek but now that he is famous he has that whole Adam Brody Seth Cohen thing going for him. And none of you stand a chance so stop getting upset about the comments that he is off the market

I'm so sorry to break this to you, ladies, but... the fine young Mr. Archuleta miiiiiiight not be straight. Ever consider that? It's fairly clear to much of America, I think... and I say good for him!
