“American Idol” judges Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul told MTV.com that proclaiming David Archuleta as this season’s winner is a bit premature. Not so fast, they cautioned. Things aren’t over yet — not by a long shot. And if you think you had the competition figured out by now, well, you haven’t seen anything yet, the two judges further added. Here’s what the affable Randy Jackson has to say about David Archuleta:

“He’s in the leader’s role right now, for sure, but also there are some other talented boys too. Jason Castro did [Leonard Cohen’s] ‘Hallelujah,’ last week. There’s David Cook too. And on the girls’ side, there’s Carly [Smithson], there’s Brooke [White]. They’re coming on. It’s too early to tell. You got to keep an open mind, America.”

Randy’s message, I’m sure, will not be heard by the teens — they only have David Archuleta in their hearts and minds. It’s already closed to others, sorry! Hehe!
