What a difference four years can make! American Idol season seven runner-up, David Archuleta, sang at Utah governor, Jon Huntsman's inauguration. Here's a video of the excellent performance:

Just four years ago, David performed at governor's inauguration for the first time and, while it was a valiant effort, he was so nervous that he stumbled over words and struggled with his pitch. Watch the video:

American Idol Season 1: Top 10

Posted: 06 Jan 2009 08:14 AM PST

As we get ready for the 8th season of American Idol, I thought we'd use these next seven days to look at the past seven seasons of our favorite singing competition.

As you probably remember, Kelly Clarkson was crowned the winner of Idol's first season and has gone on to have a lot of success. Her runner-up, Justin Guarini, currently acts as host on several TV Guide Network shows including Idol Wrap and Idol Tonight.

Here's the list of the Top 10 from American Idol season one -Recognize/remember any names?

Kelly Clarkson – Winner
Justin Guarini – Eliminated September 4, 2002
Nikki McKibbin – Eliminated August 28, 2002
Tamyra Gray – Eliminated August 21, 2002
R. J. Helton – Eliminated August 14, 2002
Christina Christian – Eliminated August 7, 2002
Ryan Starr – Eliminated July 31, 2002
A.J. Gil – Eliminated July 24, 2002
Jim Verraros – Eliminated July 17, 2002
EJay Day – Eliminated July 17, 2002

No recap could be complete without the show-winning performance! Watch this video of Kelly singing "A Moment Like This" right after being announced as the winner. I still get a little teary over how emotional she is.
