By this time next week we would already know who between David Archuleta and David Cook was named the seventh American Idol (AI). Winner or not though, the show is truly the best stepping stone to stardom. There are no losers in the competition. Whoever lands in the finals already gets a strong kickstart. How he fares is all up to him.

They may have thought otherwise later but that was proof that they saw star potential in 17-year-old Sanjaya Malakar. They probably thought the handsome kid of mixed Indian and Italian parentage from Seattle, Washington, might just become the first American Idol who is not black and who is also not white.
