Give me an example of an artist who doesn't sound the same whenever they perform...(and if you even say Dave Cook...it will immediately disqualify you as a legitimate debator on this subject)...it's called artistic style.

Archuleta has a niche...and he goes with it...if you don't like...don't listen...don't buy his CDs. You're probably a Cook fan who thinks that grunting, "I'm slightly consitpated" vocal style is new and trend setting...I like a singer I can understand...not one who mumbles his way through a song. I won't buy Cook's music simply becaus I don't like it...and you don't like Archuleta's style...faire enough.
