Yes, I agree that Archuleta is the fave to win. I remember him from Starsearch and he was awesome then. I also really hate pop to be honest, though that could be argued since I do love neosoul much of which is pop soul crossover - what is most likeliestly called hip hop. Like Erykah Badu, and Teedra Moses and Lizz Fields (she mo jazz) and the exeteras.
