Reynaldo Lapuz Rocks Judges on American Idol Dallas Auditions

There is one contestant on the Dallas audition of American Idol season 7 that knocked the judges off their feet and he's none other than a Filipino living in Reno, Nevada named Renaldo Lapuz. The 44-year-old pinoy aspirant performed his original composition "We're Brothers Forever."

Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul and even Ryan Seacrest, who obviously having a good time, stood, sang and danced with Renaldo while singing: "I am your brother, your best friend forever, singing these songs the music that you love. We're brothers till the end of time, together or not, you're always in my mind."

Simon Cowell has a positive thing to say to Renaldo. The acid-tongued judge said, "I'm going to make a prediction here. I have a horrible feeling that it's going to be a hit record. You're very entertaining. I actually like you but it's going to be 'No.'"

As of the moment, Renaldo has his own official website and his American Idol audition is now a popular ringtone. His Youtube video is on the verge of getting viral. He could be the next best thing after William Hung and as Simon has predicted, his composition could become a hit someday.

David Archuleta - Early Favorite in American Idol Season 7?

16 year-old David Archuleta from Salt Lake City, Utah, is currently making waves in the internet as one of the most promising American Idol season 7 contestants even before his audition clip airs on tv. One of the reasons could be because he won Star Search when he was 12 years old. He even has a video on Youtube singing "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" in front of American Idol season 1 aspirants and he blew them away with his rendition. And since that was season 1, he was only 9 years old at that time.
