David Archuleta Comments About Jordin
David
Archuleta is now one of the most recognizable faces in pop culture and
many are wondering how the young and seemingly very shy seventeen year
old star can handle the pressures that are soon to be staring at him as
he moves on from American idol. He is in the top three with David Cook
and Syesha Mercado and has outlasted the more mature voices of Brooke
White, Carly Smithson and that shocking elimination of Michael Johns.
American Idol Survival Guide: David Archuleta Preps for Fame (Fox)
Archuleta
may very well win American idol and with that comes a lot of publicity.
So how will he cope? First he'll lean on his mom and dad, reports
People magazine. "They've always been there to give me support and
advice," says Archuleta, 17, of parents Jeff and Lupe. "They help
remind me what matters in life - which things are important and which
things I shouldn't worry about."
Jordin
Sparks, last year's winner, who was also 17, is "a role model", he
says. When he met her, "it was neat to see how normal of a teenager she
still was." She has done a fantastic job of handling the instant fame
pressure. David Archuleta also chimes in on those screaming girls
that always seem to surround the stage. - "It's pretty cool," he says,
giggling.
"People put the time and effort into making signs
for you with your name and pictures on it! I do appreciate it. To have
that kind of effect on people is amazing." All of our American idol
coverage is here. The contestants go home this week and that gives them
a bit of time outside of the very scripted idol life and could make for
some very interesting news.

She was so thankful the entire time and she was like "This is the first time i could even talk in a few weeks now, but im healthy! And shes like thanks so much to all of you for making this song platinum- to No Air!" The crowd went crazy and knew every lyric.

Recovery Update!
Ailing American Idol winner, Jordin Sparks of Glendale, may be singing again as early as next week.
That's the word from Jordin's mother.
Jordin
and her family were in Glendale Saturday night to honor her father,
Phillippi Sparks. The former NFL cornerback received an award for
excellence from Glendale Community College. Sparks is a 1989 GCC
graduate and member of the school's 1988 championship team.
His daughter Jordin, who's been recovering from vocal cord problems, was there to help him celebrate.
Jordin's ailment forced the American Idol winner to cancel recent concert dates.
Her
mother says Jordin is on vocal rest, but the recuperation is going well
enough that she could be back on tour as early as next week.
Sparks was picked to open for Alicia Keys, on her national tour.

Looks Like Jordin Will Be Fine!
NEW YORK (AP) — "Vocal problems have forced Jordin Sparks to temporarily
withdraw from Alicia Keys' tour and cancel all performances for the
rest of the month, a representative for the "American Idol" champ said
Monday.
"All of her April activities have been postponed or
canceled so she can take care of her voice properly," 19/Jive Records
spokeswoman Wendy Washington told The Associated Press.
The
18-year-old singer, whose hits include "Tattoo" and "No Air," was
scheduled to be the opening act on Keys' tour, which kicked off over
the weekend in Hampton, Va. Washington said in addition to missing the
tour's first month, Sparks was forced to cancel a planned performance
at the Earth Day Network & Green Apple Festival concert in
Washington, D.C.
Washington said Sparks is expected to rejoin Keys' tour in May.
"Jordin
Sparks is on vocal rest and is expected to make a full and complete
recovery," according to a statement from 19/Jive Records. "Sparks has
been going nonstop over the past two years and now she's going through
the normal course of learning how to manage and care for her voice."
Sparks
was the youngest winner of "American Idol" when she won the talent
competition last year. She released her self-titled debut album late
last year."
That's really exciting news, I hope Jordin is recovering well!
