As I watched my two teenage daughters scream when David Archuleta sang on Idol, I suddenly noticed that he and David Cook were both signing autographs with their left hand.  Your next American idol could very well be a lefty! (I'm currently investigating prior shows to see if anyone else was  a southpaw.)

David Cook won by 12 million votes to become a Left Handed American Idol.

David Archuleta is a seventeen year old singer from Murray, Utah..He is the odds on favorite right now to win, but surprises have happened in the past. (For my daughters sakes I hope he wins.) On  Tuesday (May 6, 2008) he did a very good job of singing "Stand By Me," which you can see below.

Being Left Handed may not be an advantage for these two, but since they  use the creative side of their brain more than the right handed contestants, perhaps they do have an edge. Stay tuned to your television to see the upcoming left handed results.
