After being used for the closing montage for the ‘Best of the Rest’ episode, “Best Days” by Graham Colton was tapped again to be the exit song in the first, and second, round of the Top 24.

American Idol fans may be familiar with Graham when he opened up for Kelly Clarkson on both “Breakaway” and “Behind These Hazel Eyes” tours in 2005. The two were also romantically linked but split because of time apart but remain good friends. The song is available on iTunes and you can you can find out more about Graham on his Myspace.

17 year old David Archuleta is heating up American Idol. In only the second week of the top 24 the crowd is going wild. Girls screaming, fans on their feet and judges calling him brilliant.

So what is it about David that makes him so special?

1. Age - Being only 17, David has that young look that the girls love so much.
2. Modesty - He doesn’t take any of this for granted and is often surprised when he gets good reviews or hears the girls screaming with excitement.
3. Talent - Best of all, he can sing far better that most everyone else on American Idol this season.

Even at 11, when David met up with season 1 finalist Kelly Clarkson, she was shocked at how well he could sing. I wonder if she still remembers him.

So, does David have this in the bag? It’s a bit early to say, but he is by far one of the best this season so far!

Did you watch American Idol last night? Hollywood Hell week was a bit different this year with fast pass’, instruments and a lot of people going home.

If you watched the final montage, you might be interested in grabbing the song. It was “Hollywood’s Not America” by Ferras. It’s only $0.99 in the iTunes Music Store or on Amazon’s Music store.

Did you happen to catch the Grammys? If you didn’t you missed Carrie Underwood looking sexy in an extremely short, tight, black skirt!

Have no fear though, YouTube has the whole ‘Before He Cheats’ performance. Interestingly enough, the junkyard performance was pretty cool. Not quite country, but a nice remix!

What do you think? Is Carrie loosing her values or is she just using her sex appeal to sell more records?

If you missed it Jordin Sparks sang the national anthem before the Superbowl and she knocked it out of the park! A simply superb performance by a very deserving American Idol!
