Poll of the week: David Archuleta defeats all competitors in champion series finale

After fourteen weeks of competition, IDOL LIVE's annual poll of the week champion series edition has come to a close, with David Archuleta taking the top spot following a two-week voting period finale that consisted of a whopping 10 alums from the series' seventh season.

As expected, Arch took the cake with 11,595 votes, reeling in 64% of the total votes cast. Arch's only real competition was David Cook, who netted 6,257 votes, or 34% of all votes. These results are flipped in comparison to last year's results, when Cook took in 82% and Arch was able to amass only 17% of the votes.

Not surprisingly, none of the other Idol alums that were up for voting from the semifinal rounds were able to take in a single percentage of the votes cast, with Kellie Pickler finishing an extremely distant third with 90 votes.

After all these months of voting, it should be recognized that all the contributions from readers that have participated in these polls are truly appreciated and it is hoped that this participation will continue to shine through as we carry on with regularly scheduled polls of the week. In this week's edition of the poll of the week, readers are asked which celebrity guest judge would they prefer take Paula Abdul's spot if the spot is to be filled. You have exactly one week to vote.

David Cook 6,257 (34%)
David Archuleta 11,595 (64%)
Syesha Mercado 10 (0%)
Chris Daughtry 9 (0%)
Brooke White 10 (0%)
Kellie Pickler 90 (0%)
Kristy Lee Cook 1 (0%)
Michael Johns 2 (0%)
Ramiele Malubay 1 (0%)
Chikezie 30 (0%)
Amanda Overmyer 1 (0%)
David Hernandez 6 (0%)

Total votes: 18,012

I appreciate that David Archuleta fans are still excited about following his career. He's also attending and performing at the ALMA Awards this year, as well as being named and honoree! They will be broadcast on ABC on September 17.

I understand about staying with this site to show our support. I will bookmark it for future participation.

Congratulations David!

This was a fun poll. Congrats to David Archuleta -he well deserves the support his fans give him as he works so hard to please them. He has won the ALMA award for Male Rising Star -very fitting since I think we've only seen the tip of the iceberg when it comes to David's talents.

and yes, I voted on this week's poll and have the site bookmarked. Thanks!
