[quote] While "Idol" producers never confirmed the stories, they never denied them, either. And that was clearly because they were hoping the publicity would help the show regain some of its lost ratings.
In other words, they hung Jeff Archuleta out to dry. And affected 17-year-old David Archuleta toward the end of the season as well. [/quote]
[quote] “He's a more romantic figure. Female fans ache for him. Even crazy ole Paula Abdul admitted getting “goosebumps” when he sang those I-gotta-have-you-or-I'm-gonna-die power ballads. In short, there's an extraordinary, passionate connection between David Archuleta and female fans,” opines O’Neil.
According to O’Neil, “Cook is terrific at stylizing music to give tunes a hip sound, but he doesn't break hearts when he sings. He needs to do that to establish a music career that echoes on.” He also observes that singers from Frank Sinatra to Justin Timberlake have all beat out the competition largely due to their appeal to fans of the opposite sex.

Take me to the church where my father and my mother
Prayed for me and my dear brother
While the angels undercover cursed our names
Children, do you believe in heaven?
Tell me, do you believe in heaven?
‘Cause there’s a place that’s filled with flames
And it’s calling out your name
So you best believe in heaven
With your blind and absent faith
And take me to the park where we played, the light went dark
And even Jesus didn’t matter
’cause our souls were filled with laughter
And our laughter reached to heaven
While our sorrows went to hell
Take me to the fields where my father spent his days
Slaving for a beggar’s wage
The day is over, turn the page
There’ll be another when you wake
Waiting in your cup of coffee
And you hear our mother coughing
As you whisper to her softly
But we still hear we every strain
We still hear every strain
And take me to the house where my mother rests her bones
In that chair she rests her bones
Quietly, unsuspecting throne
Lock me out, but don’t deny her what she owns
Because I don’t believe in heaven
No, I don’t believe in heaven
There’s a place that’s filled with flames
And it’s calling out my name
’cause I don’t believe in heaven
Lock me out but don’t deny her what she owns
Lock me out but don’t deny her what she owns…
And take me to the church where my father and my mother
Pray for me and my dear brother
While the angels undercover cursed our names…
