American Idol hopefuls are surrounded by tough competition among the men (or in David Archuleta's case - boys). Michael Johns and David Archuleta have been posted as huge favorites among the male American Idol hopefuls. Archuleta was listed with odds of 5-2 at PaddyPower.com, a website that does not allow U.S. citizens to place bets. Johns was listed with 11-4 odds. Both were favorites among both the men and women. The next big favorite was a surprising female Idol wannabe, Ramiele Malubay, who was listed with 5-1 odds. Syesha Mercado from Miami came in with 6-1 odds. Jason Castro was the next favored man with 8-1 odds, tied with Ireland's own, Carly Simon. Asia'h Epperson was listed with 10-1 odds. At the age of 12, David Archuleta won the Junior Singers competition on Star Search. The young performer actually suffered partial vocal paralysis when he was much younger. Archuleta also represents Miami, having been born there though today he resides in Murray, Utah, just outside of Salt Lake City. Michael Johns is winning over plenty of fans outside America. The Australian born talent left the country when he was 18 to pursue a career with his then band, The Rising. If Australia could vote for Johns, they probably all would. Unfortunately, they cannot. That's good news for Archuleta we suppose. Aussies can still tune in however. The show is broadcast on Foxtel. Check your local listings.
