David Archuleta | We Can Work It Out | American Idol 7

Filed Under American Idol, David Archuleta

David Archuleta is probably the most popular American Idol contestant of all time, if the reports are true. The crowd yelled as soon as his name was announced, but all of the buzz and fan support couldn’t help David Archuleta get through “We Can Work It Out” unscathed this week.

David Archuleta is singing the Beatles’ “We Can Work It Out” in a Stevie Wonder style.

My wife says David Archuleta looks nervous. I’m not feeling it, but I’m willing to predict that David Archuleta will still be the top vote getter this week because he is so popular.

Randy: “You know I like your voice” and I’m your fan. “It felt forced.” “It didn’t work for me.”

Paula: “Never let it show on your face, my dear.”

Simon: “That was a mess. … You should not have done the Stevie Wonder version. … It was your weakest performance so far.”

Let’s hope that David Archuleta’s stumble was just a one-week problem that will propel him even further along in his singing ability. I suspect that from adversity, David Archuleta will emerge even better and more prepared to “wow
the judges and American Idol 7 fans.

Brian Moore of the Chicago Red Eye says this of David Archuleta’s performance:

Archuleta admits he’s not familiar with the Beatles. Well, this should be good.

Did he just forget the lyrics? I think so. Well, I think Archuleta has been exposed. He can’t do the fast stuff. He is doing the Stevie Wonder version of this song, by the way.

Will David Archuleta be able to overcome messing up “We Can Work It Out” and continue to shine? Only time will tell, so tune into American Idol.
