David mentions in Idol articles

Teenage Lifestyle:

Pia Toscano sang “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me”
What I don’t get is although Pia is beautiful and has a sensational voice, there is something missing.  She was compared to Whitney and Mariah by the Judges, but …..
A couple of years ago, David Archuleta sang that same song in the finals.  His performance was amazing.

TV Line:

Pia Toscano, “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me”: Pia’s entire Idol run is turning into a case of “How can something so wrong be so beautifully, addictively right?” I mean, earlier this week, I wrote an item called “American Idol: What Should the Top 11 Sing for Elton John Week?” in which I stated that “Cecile Frot-Coutaz ought to secretly deduct 250,000 votes from whichever finalist dares to” tackle “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me,” seeing as how it’s been DONE TO DEATH (sorry, ALL CAPS necessary to reduce my blood pressure) on the Idol stage. I mean, after hearing such standout finalists as Bo Bice, David Archuleta, Justin Guarini, Jorge Nuñez, Clay Aiken and Jasmine Trias (well, four out of six ain’t bad) tackle the tune over the course of the past nine seasons, did Pia really think there was anything new to add to it, especially while wearing a hideous nude-and-metallic-shards figure-skating costume? And yet add she did! Pia took out her vocal machete and she slayed this beast in the best possible way! Not only was every note perfectly rendered, but Pia dug down into the water table and squeezed new juice out of this dry husk of a ballad (how’s that for mixed metaphors). And what’s more, she’s already promising “River Deep Mountain High” if she cracks the Top 9. (Frankly, if she’s determined to do Tina Turner, though, I’d prefer “Steamy Windows” or “Nutbush City Limits” or even “Better Be Good to Me” — none of which, to my knowledge, have gotten the Celine Dion treatment).

5 Things You Need to Know About Singing Elton John on 'American Idol'

Lesson #1: "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" Will Take You Far

If I were in the Top 11, I'd be begging to sing this song. Why? Well, let's look at a list of singers who've performed it on American Idol: Justin Guarini, Clay Aiken, Bo Bice and David Archuleta. In other words, singing it means you're guaranteed to make the finale (except for Jorge Nunez, who sang it during the semifinals of season 8 and Jasmine Trias, who finished third after singing it in season 3).
