I would sum up two things on Archuleta.; 1. Voice 2. Power
1. Voice : Show me any artists who sound like him. His unique velvety voice is one in a million. Also, for an 18 years old, his technique is so skilled and mature.

That's why he was the Chosen One from the beginning of the Idol until the media falsely spread the rumor about the stage dad. Even during the Idol, 7 recording companies fought hard to get him and JIVE signed him on the day of the finale.

2. Power : There are many singers who can sing but without power. This boy has a powerful voice that fills the venue over the screaming audience. His voice doesn't get worn out easily and is under complete control. He is also known for the most perfect pitch singer.

I am not 12 or teen, but know the real talent when I see. He also shows a promising future as a songwriter when you listen to his own songs such as Works for me, Somebody out there, Zero gravity, A little too not over you, Don't let go, Falling.
