I agree, if you're into soft music, ballads, musicals, Archuleta is your man. He's technically sound and very talented. He took the safe path, with well known, emotional songs, and showed his strong suit, complete with the weepy, wet eyes. Excellent performances tonight - probably enough to win it.
On the other hand, I'd never buy his records. The judges are setting this up to launch a Broadway career. Why else would they save Andrew Lloyd Weber for the final night of competition? I think Archuleta will probably win, but I think David Cook will be picked up by a recording studio and make a LOT of records. He's that good.
