I prefer David Archuleta! Ok, I think Jessie is a real talent, but David voice is so unique. This why I admire him, because at this time, we don't have many artists like David Archuleta in the music market. His performances live are breath taking and, believe me, David A singing live it's an amazing experience.
Not so many singers give me chills, but his emotion and connection with the song and lyrics, are really impressive for his age!

Definitely no doubt I am for David Archuleta! Jessie is also good but Archuleta's style of singing is more of a romantic style and gets into your soul.

You can't make comparison between the two because they come from different background. David Archuleta raised in environment from a small town in utah, with a heavy influences in religion, while Jessie grow up in the city like lifestyle. I don't think Archuleta will go for the scene half naked with girls and a whole lot of lust in the picture. It is not him and he will never be because it is probably against his beleif.
