I think what sets David apart from others is that he has two distinctive auras about him. He is definitley attractive, and intelligent, and caring, and giving, and genuine and all those wonderful things that we love, but his appeal goes deeper that that. He knows that it takes more than what is on the surface to become the best at what you do. He genuinely has a love for music and being the true competitor that he is , his goal is to be the best he can be. It is obviuos that he has been honing his skill for years and has done a great job. I suspect as he continues on, this will even get better. He has an onstage presence that is charasmatic, but not overdone or fake, and he knows how to work an audience and leave them longing for more. As a person, he is appreciative and humble and playful, and allows us to peer into his sole just long enough to see his humaniy and heart, and these small pieces of him leave us longing for more. He definitely has the entire package. He deserves everything that he has obtained and I thank him for letting us come along on his ride, if even just l little bit.

David's intelligence is very sexy, but intelligence alone is not what gives him the edge.
It's his depth of soul and his heart that set him apart. And that he shows both and is not apologetic for either. I am amazed that he says things out loud sometimes.
I see him as using his intelligence in many more ways than the word nerd stuff. In developing a strategy for idol, figuring out the songs and arrangements, responding to questions with witty and sharp comments, with adjusting and adapting to the steep learning curve that is Idol as he took flight in front of us. I think he really tried to learn from what he saw around him and what was said to him to better himself on Idol. Very few people can be that objective about themselves.
I see him standing back and viewing all of this critically as well as living in the moment.
I really think that he is a leader, and he pushed to get Archie and himself both put out there as winners. As much as I think he was dead serious in his strategy for winning idol and the work he put into it; I am not entirely certain that he wanted to be a winner over Archie. I think he wanted them both to be winners. Just like I think he wants all the top 10 to be winners and have wonderful careers. Like he'd never crush a butterfly. He is just a beautiful soul. I think that winning is very satisfying, very justifying to him, though.
Sorry for the error in posting a reply to you Meg, not computer savvy, and as a matter of fact, until coming to this site, never got involved in forums much, but I agree with you 1000%, perfectly said!
LMAO
