One writer advices American Idol’s current tween sensation “to bomb one of these early weeks.” The writer explains, “For some reason, ‘Idol’ history shows that the more flawless someone (like David Archuleta) appears to be early on, the harder they fall later for the tiniest mess-up. If he’s too perfect up until the top four or top three, and then gives a subpar performance that week, ‘Idol’ past suggests he’ll have a huge target on his back.”
Another writer agrees and thinks our darling David Archuleta isn’t without his weaknesses.

“Nobody likes a contestant to peak too early on ‘Idol,’ ” he said. “It sort of takes the fun out of it for viewers if it becomes a 15-week coronation march for him. I think there will be moments where the judges are tough on him, maybe even overly tough on him, because I don’t think they want this season to be a forgone conclusion before we reach the final 12.” Hmmm, I quite agree with the both of them! Let’s see how David Archuleta fares this week!
