I loved his performance of Roxanne during AI. Sting is one of my favorite's musicians. What kind of collaboration he would like to have with Sting?

i'm not 100% on board for archuletta... he's annoying, mostly because of his annoying fans and he's a little too "who...? little ole me?" ala melinda doolittle in my opinion

Drew, you make a great point. He's not star quality----yet. He has potential.

give him a couple years and maturity to his voice and singing other than ballads... i'll like him, but he's too young and too innocent for me. I agree Gonzo
