David Archuleta
Love Me Tender
"He's Archuletting it," said my wife (a.k.a. Mrs. Tuned In), as David A. laid an additional trowel of honey on this ballad. Indeed — and he just Archulet himself into the Final Three. What can I say? It was the perfect nighttime serenade by the overstuffed musical teddy bear every 11-year-old girl Idol fan dreams of getting next Valentine's Day. Squeeeeeeeeze!
