The American Idol contestant everyone’s talking about

If you saw American Idol on ITV2 last night, you’ll have fallen under the spell of 16-year-old David Archuleta, who wowed the judges with his rendition of Bryan Adams’ Heaven. The cute teenager is tipped to win the show, but not without controversy – once again, there are accusations that he’s already got a record deal. David has been singing semi-professionally for years (he even performed on US chat show Jenny Jones as a wee nipper), but, since the rules state that Idol contestants cannot currently have any kind of management or recording contract, it’s thought that he’s in the clear. We do hope so – he’s ACE, and reminds us of a young Gareth Gates!
