Who's David Archuleta?

My 10 year old daughter is positively GIDDY over this young man.

I guess if I were 10 I probably would be too. He's cute, very wholesome, not at all self-absorbed, and has a fabulous voice.

I have no doubt he's going to win the finale of American Idol next week. He is a marketer's DREAM.... I can already see the plastic figurines in the Happy Meal boxes at McDonald's; the ABC After School Movie starring him, and of course, the tour (sponsored by Bubblicious) that "sweeps the nation". Yes, I can hear the squealing little girls already. (And I've experienced this firsthand; I took my daughter to the Jonas Brothers concert.... I thought my eardrums were going to rupture from the squealing....)

But, truthfully, I would rather have her pining over this wholesome young man than listening to so much of the junk that's on the radio right now.

I may have to let Nick Jonas know that his formerly much-loved poster will soon become "garage sale material" though..... alas.
