I like Kris Allen. But David Archuleta is the best singer there is today. DAVID ARCHULETA IS THE REAL DEAL.

It's been a pleasure to watch and listen to young Mr. Archuleta since his Star Search days. I am as proud of his accomplishments as if he was my own child.
The range of his angelic VOICE is beyond perfection to my ears! The way he handles himself in public, and with the media show how CLASSY he is. These are the things that will have me continuing to support David forever.
I will buy Kris' CD also. Just not as cranked-up over him like I am for Archie! It's that VOICE! :-)

Kris' new single is such a great beginning to what I know will be a long career of awesome-ly listenable music. Great job, Kris!
Archie's performance on ALMA Awards night was all that I love about David Archuleta! Just exactly what I want to hear from him. Beautiful voice!
I'll be buying both CD's asap.

I love both Archie and Kris. They are both talented and great inspirations. I loved Archie's song on the Alma awards and love Kris's new single.

The problem is as it has always been for David. He does not have a management/label company that will represent him fairly and appropriately. They don't demand the radio stations to play his music. They don't allow him enough photo shoots for all the magazines,They don't give him a creative and experienced stylist.
They are lacking major promotion for David. They didn't even congratulate him for his stunning performance at the Alma's. They
vaguely mention his performance. Is that all they can do? No, it isn't. It's just that they don't want to for their own sneaky reasons. That is why some people still don't recognize him like the idiot who wrote that article as the public should by now.But thanks to the Alma Awards who has his back and gave him national exposure. It has opened the eyes and ears about David. This is something Jive purposely fails to do. They continue to limit his career and I feel it all goes back to the idol connection. They are trying to keep cook on top but cook

David's career is alive and well. He does not a need a prop or gimic to make him sound good. He is a great career ahead of him.
Kris Allen song is good, it will probably do well on the charts.

I must say that I agree with everyone here. David Archuleta has won my heart forever. I don't know what my life would be like if I didn't listen to his CD every day, watch my DVR shows from Idol and all his other TV appearances, go to my favorite fan sites AM and PM, go to his concerts (five and counting), and now for my birthday on Sat. my husband bought a DVD recorder so he could make a copy of the his performance at the ALMA awards for me to take and show other family members and friends who missed the most amazing performance of his career so far! Can you tell how much I love him----in all aspects of his life. There are no words to describe how his music and his persona affect my life. I hope that the powers that be will give him the recognition he so greatly deserves.

Thanks for this article. I am still stunned by David's performance. To me, it was just kind of mind-blowing. I thought, "Finally, the world gets to see what I've been watching all along." And I'm sooo proud of him. He's one of a kind, and I really mean that. He's just irreplaceable...I do think Kris is great, also, and I hope he goes far. But my heart belongs to Archie.

David is a real deal! His music and songs are all inspiration in our daily lives. His being humble and thoughtful of his own family reveals the foundation of his belief and values. He is sweet, charming and clean cut!

Ok, I voted for both Kris Allen and David Archuleta. To be honest there is NO comparison. David Archuleta is the real deal in every way possible. Sorry Kris, but I seriously don't love the single (sad). David's "Crush" however, was one of the best pop songs of that year (and now!). Add on David's crazy vocal skills (can anything be better than that ALMA performance?) and his awesome performance skills (can any fan seriously watch him sing Don't Let Go without dying??) and you've got the cream of the crop in the music business. David rules!!

Kris Allen seems to be a nice guy but there is something about David Archuleta that just grabs your heart and doesn't let go! The ALMA performance just demonstrated how musically powerful David is. He is equally impressive jumping around on stage singing pop-dance tunes like zero gravity as he is singing an epic version of Contigo en La Distancia. (David is one of a kind).
Like others that have commented, David has been extremely successful since Idol with NO help at all from JIVE records!! As the AI8 winner Kris will get a LOT of promo and should be initially successful. However, for the long haul my money is on David Archuleta.

Archie is a cutie, no doubt about it. So handsome, so fun to watch him grow. Kris Allen's new single sucks, unfortunately, and I think it'll be no time at all before he's back in Arkansas, either playing bars or going back to school. Oh, well.

Kris Allen is who I voted for and wanted to win season 8. I am glad he did...but I have to say season 7 was the BEST! David Archuleta is a great singer. That ALMA awards show was freakin' HOT!! OH, and I will be buying both Kris and David's new cds!

I too have been a David Archuleta strong supporter since his audition on Am Idol. I haven't been able to attend any of his performances (sob, sob!) but I follow him faithfully on-line. I must say he has grown tremendously performance-wise. And even more importantly, he has not been effected by his success. He is still sweet and humble and adorable!! I agree with everyone here that his performance on the ALMAS was his best ever. Stellar vocals and a true show of real emotion emanated from his handsome young face. He didn't have to use dancers or an orchestra or his 'body' to win over the crowd. They were mesmerized! America is waking up to the talent of this lovely gracious beautiful young soul. Good luck David! We love you!

David and Kris are both very talented artists and will have very
successful careers. I am a David fan from day one and have been following his career and FYI, his career has taken off since right after AI: debut CD (almost platinum), debut single "Crush" (almost double platinum), sold-out spring '09 tour, UK tour w/ McFly, concerts in Asian countries, summer tour w/ Demi Lovato (sold-out solo concerts in between), release of Christmas album next month and 2nd CD early next year. Also, he won 3 Teen Choice Awards for Breakout Artist, Love Song and Tour and of
course, Male Rising Star at the Alma Awards. And that's in only a year and 1/2 after Idol!!! This young man is an exceptional talent and a beautiful person inside and out and we will forever support him!!!!

Looks like everyone commenting loves David Archuleta. And after people see the ALMA performance, I'm sure the rest of the world will as well. From the very first time I saw him on "Idol," he had my attention. It has not waivered for over a year. I have followed him every step of the way. He is an amazing performer and will be around for years to come. There's room for everyone; I know Kris Allen will have a great career, too.

David Archuleta was HOT on the ALMAs!! His Christmas album--0n Oct 13th--will be unbelievable!!

david archuleta without a doubt is an amazingly talented singer. he is above the rest. he is already successful with his gold album and platinum single considering the very little promotion from his label. he is destined to become more successful not for cuteness but for his genuine talent.

Oh I loved David's performance on the ALMA's and think it may have been his best! Such a big fan of his and can't wait for his Christmas From the Heart CD to come out. Yikes 3 weeks!
They both seem to be two very nice young men which sometimes seems like an an
anomaly in the music business today. Kudos to them both and hope Kris' new song does extremely well! Doesn't seem too bad at all!
