Sorry, David Archuleta lovers, but you cannot forget the lyrics to a song and hold on to the top spot in our American Idol Power Poll.
Feel free to write in and voice your complaints about your favorite singer dropping in the rankings - just make sure not to forget the words when you do...
1. Brooke White: Every time we see White strumming the guitar or fingering the piano, we can't help but think of folk sensation Patty Griffin. White is an American Idol original with a huge career ahead of her.
2. David Cook: Chris Daughtry proved that an Idol rocker can have a bright future. Cook has a serious shot at being the first to actually capture the show's title.
3. David Archuleta: He's still cute. He still has a great voice. But fans must ask themselves: can you actually see Archuleta as a best-selling artist?
Stage fright got the best of David Archuleta last week. Can he recover?

i can see him as a best-selling artist! i can see him as a josh groban... he is amazing and is so humble with his God sent talent! thats whats going to get him far if he keeps his head on straight!

this guy is so cheese - it makes me cringe watching him - best selling artist, no maybe a Justin Guarini(sp?) clone here... I like BROOKE WHITE - she cracks me up with the never watched an R rated movie - you so know she has LOL

This is a totally lame question. Get real...Archuleta would sell double the albums of White and Cook combined. The marketability of the kid is off the charts compared to anybody else on the show. Why do you think record execs are already having music written for him, win or lose. IF (and that's a big if) he can get it under control and perform just respectably, he'll win. And even if he doesn't, the record companies are drooling over his demographics. Write it down, the kid will have a platinum album by the summer of 2009.

Simon said once that David has many thing in his favor: he's young, he's likable, he's good-looking and has a great voice. While you see the phenomenon of mill produced Disney-created celebrities like Hannah Montana, just think of those who continue to be around making news. The young and talented like Justin Timberlake and such. I totally agree with Simon. David is bringing a great young public to the American idol which, risked to become the "American a-dull" before David Archuleta.

I think everybody is making much too much out of little David Archuleta. He has zero stage presence and it's obvious he's in way over his head with American Idol. He needs a few more years experience.
He has a nice voice but he's far too young, I love the more edgy voices of David Cook and Carly Smithson.

David a is ok but not as good a david cook!hes hasnt a hope in hell of winning!david cook 2 win!

OK.. y are people so against david A. like who cares if he's young, jordan sparks was 17 when she won american idol and look how well she is doing. she has a song out with chris brown. don't hate on the young people. If anything, the fact that he is 17 would benifit him in the long run. Look at disney and Miley cyrus. And the only reason why i dont think david cook should win is because we dont need another Daugghtry. we need some one different lik David A.

David was incredible last week. He should definitelyyy be in the number 1 spot! There are already millions of people who would buy his album, people will be staying up all night waiting in line to buy it! He has everything and more, and is definitely going to be the next American Idol. GO DAVID!
