Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me

_Archulet_ (vt.): To perform (as a pop song) with so much unashamed earnestness that all the squirrels in the world's forests pause in their nut-gathering to cry rainbow-colored tears. Little David Archuletted this baby good. That said, though the performance is true to his form, he also does nothing different with the ballad, and I'm a little surprised the judges show him as much love as they do.
