Ok Alumni...the key element here is IDOL...which is defined as "any person or thing regarded with blind admiration, adoration, or devotion". That's what David Archuleta is...his is idol material because he appeals to the masses with his genuine nature. Humbleness and shyness are not negatives. Pacing back and forth on stage while singing a song does not make a person entertaining. I don't understand what is so wrong with a singer standing on stage just looking out and singing to their fans. I agree...he is young, but he has so much going for him already...he's getting better and better every week. The kid is amazing.
