Millions of people around the country root for and vote for their favorites.
People seem to love the music, and the "who's gonna win?" suspense aspect of it.
Today even the popular celeb/Hollywood blog TMZ goes ga-ga over the most minute details of current Idol favorite David Archuleta's current doings:
He may be the one to beat on "American Idol," but David Archuleta still has a lot to learn!
The 17-year-old gets on-set tutoring for three hours a day while on "Idol," but TMZ has obtained the required reading list of lil' David's 11th grade class at Murray High School.
While David has been belting out John Lennon and Phil Collins classics, students at his Utah high school have been trudging through the classics like "Catcher in the Rye," "The Crucible," "The Great Gatsby," "MacBeth," "Much Ado About Nothing," and "Hamlet." Will he win or not win -- that is the question!
