movie. It's a film that has aired several times during the month of

David Archuleta revealed that American idol creator Simon Fuller discussed
with him a record deal with Jive records. To Archuleta's credit in the

She
survived losing her voice during the Hollywood Week auditions. She then
survived through being nominated for elimination in seven of nine shows
after it reached the final 12. She grinned and endured it all, survived
again and again making it through all of those cuts until the final
three. It was at this point that her dream of becoming the next American
idol came to an end as she was eliminated

the lyrics to a song and he was voted off the show.
For Syesha Mercado her toughness has been tested week after week as
once again she was in the bottom two up for elimination. She has been
in the bottom three or two all but two weeks since the competition went
to the final 12 format. - HOLLY VALANCE CITING - Recommended

It was somewhat of a surprise to the judges in contrast to their statements

they voiced their opinions of who they thought was the best in the competition.
