David Archuleta Drops Positive Message For AI Hopefuls

Last night's double elimination on American Idol sent Lil Rounds and Anoop Desai packing...

But David Archuleta had their back. The prince of the runner up crew performed, "Touch My Hand," and had a positive message for the contestants. The Honduran star wanted to remind everyone that you don't have to claim the winning title to graduate to idol status. Claro, he started giving David Cook a run for his money the minute they wrapped season 7! The "Crush" singer also reminded audiences about his UK tour starting Friday and his upcoming U.S. tour featuring Demi Lovato.

David revealed Anoop and Allison as his fave hopefuls. Check his message to them:

I just want to say you both have awesome voices. There are so many opportunities after this. Just know that it’s not over even after this. I’ve been having such a great time. There are a lot of people who didn’t have to go all the way to really live their dream.

Sorry chico, Anoop is out! Who has your vote for the winning idol? [Newsday]
