Just wanting to give an update on what is happening on American Idol. The last post I did, I reported there were 3 Latinos and 1 Latina who made it to the top 24.

We are now on the Top 7, only one was voted off. The three remaining Latinos are David Archuleta, Jason Castro, and Syesha Mercado. Congratulation to all three and I wish them luck.

David Archuleta was born in Miami, FL. His father, Jeff, is American of Basque descent, and his mother, Lupe, is Honduran. At the age of twelve, Archuleta won the Junior Singers competition on Star Search. Archuleta was labeled the front-runner by both the judges and the media.
