American Idol Season 7

American Idol is finally back and banging harder than ever! There are more younger and better singers this season. 2 of the contestants that stood out for me the most are David Archuleta and Josiah Leming. They are both 16 and 18 years old respectively. Both seemed to have really struggled in the past and probably still do now, hence the extra air- time the both of them received during their auditions, which both of them absolutely nailed. David struggled with vocal paralysis in the past, which caused him to look like his almost desperate for air whenever he talks. Josiah introduces himself as the cry- baby of the lot. But, I certainly do not mean it in a bad way because literally, he has a baby face and he is very emotional during most of the aftermaths of his performance. Plus, he ran away from home after dropping out of high school and now he lives in his car. Truly, American Idol could most probably save him from his loneliness and essentially sense of lost.
Considering the ordeal the both of these teenagers had gone through, I really support them and hope they can go far in the competition. David's voice is really smooth while Josiah has a more British edge to his voice. Josiah is not British but he grew up listening to artistes like Snow Patrol and Mika, hence the British accent, but only when he sings. So best of luck to them both!
