The theme this week 2 years ago on American Idol was “Songs by Artists from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.” Each of the 4 remaining contestants was asked to sing 2 songs. David Archuleta performed Ben E. King’s “Stand by Me” and Elvis Presley’s “Love Me Tender.”
After the two songs, Simon Cowell said, “David, you didn’t beat the competition tonight. You CRUSHED the competition tonight.”

AHHHHHHH….♫ ♪ Love Me Tender ♫ ♪♫ …. my favorite. If I could place an order (LOL) I’d order up this one as sung on stage with all the verses.

Our sweet Crusher!!! He-he! Too ironic that his first single was “Crush”!

“Stand By Me” has always been one of my favorite oldies, and I adore David’s version. I wish that David would release it as a single. Simon was actually right on this one!

I said before and I’ll say it again and again. I never thought anyone could ever touch my favorite song by Elvis Presley – “Love Me Tender”. Lord Have Mercy on me and everyone that heard David cover it that night. David didn’t just touch the song he KILLED it, CRUSHED it!!
