David Archuleta returning to 'American Idol'
Season Seven runner-up will perform on the April 22 double-elimination episode of 'Idol'
David Archuleta
David Archuleta is the latest "American Idol" veteran scheduled to make his return to the FOX reality smash.
FOX announced that Archuleta will perform next Wednesday (April 22) in an important double-elimination episode of "American Idol."
The double-elimination was caused, of course, by the judges' decision to utilize the Save on Matt Giraud, the contestant who received the fewest votes following the April 14 show.
Next Tuesday night will be Disco Night for the Top Seven and the following night will see Disco icons Harry Wayne "KC" Casey (of KC and the Sunshine Band), Thelma Houston and Freda Payne perform a medley of their hits "Get Down Tonight," "Don't Leave Me this Way" and "Band of Gold."
Archuleta, the runner-up to David Cook in "American Idol" Season Seven, will perform "A Little Too Not Over You," his grammatically twisted new single.
