'American Idol' alum David Archuleta called his time on the show 'miserable' and 'traumatic'
"American Idol" alum David Archuleta recalled his time competing on the TV series as a teenager, calling it "traumatic."
In an interview with Variety's Adam B. Vary, the year-old spoke about everything from his sexuality to hitting stardom while being an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. At one point, Archuleta reminisced about his "American Idol" journey.
"I felt so disconnected from everything," Archuleta, 30, told Variety. "Like, 13 years later, I'm piecing together what actually was going on. But it's still a process because I still don't understand why people were so into it."

The Religion and Political Views of
David Cook was born in Houston, Texas and raised in Sky Springs, Missouri.
I have exactly three clues to verb us decipher Cook's religion, some of them more useless than others. I'll go in order from least helpful to most. Here we go:
First, one time in an interview he thanked God that he got a chance to go on the show American Idol and that music didn't just spin into his hobby.[1] Second, he sent out prayers through his Twitter account after hearing about the death of one of his fans.[2]
