Daddy Archuleta = Joe Simpson 2.0
Filed under: American Idol
Could this be why he chocked on Tuesday night????
Our Idol fave, David Archuleta, appears to have a stage daddy just like Jess and Ash!
According to Entertainment Tonight assert that David was off his game Tuesday night because daddy, Jeff, apparently pitched a huge fit at a Monday recording session.
Sources claim "2.0" yelled at David during the session cause he wasn't happy with his son's singing — and even brought him to tears.
Awwwwww. How mean!
Reps for American Idol had no comment on the incident.
Don't mess with our David!!!

He won't be eliminated tonight but OH MY GOD he fucked up BIG time. If this was the real world, he would be going tonight. But BYE BYE Christy Lee Cook.
I don't understand how any post about the idol contests never amuses me in any level!
loves david

perez u spelled choked wrong..
holy cow!
ehh i dont like him.
I love him!! So what if he forgot a few words! Everyone should leave him alone, I hope he wins.

poor kid
If you rushed to type "first," you're an ass-hat.

I hope that isn't true. The singers are under enough pressure without having anyone adding to it. His dad should be his biggest supporter, not a jerk.
Dad's always end up getting too riled up when their kid(s) is/are talented at something. My dad used to bring my little brother to tears after Soccer and Basketball games all the time.
First-ish..
oh thats horrible
damn his daddy
aww poor thing. i feel sorry for him as he seems to be very childlike as a result of an overbearing stage dad. he needs to pull a Macaulay Culkin and divorce his dad until the show’s over if that’s true.
jason castro is gonna win anyway…so fuckin hot
3rd
It should be "choked" not "chocked." Just FYI!
back with you beeeeaaaaatches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
go home dadday, let your boy work his stuff
First
aaaagh
yay
david's amazing!! his dad shouldn't be such a jerk.
Perez you are such a child molester. You just want his balls. UGH.
CHOKED.
He's the most talented one out of the bunch this turn. Leave him alone Daddy and let David's nature gift shine thru!
I am sure that's the reason. I've seen people down that path (overbearing parents and all) and I recognise the body language of someone being used as a puppett. It's the scary twinkle in his eye, the shifty body language that screams 'Don't hit me pop'. This guy will need to break away from his parents when he'll be a little bit older. Also, the selection of his songs so comes from frustrated daddy. Set David free! This kid has been performing like a monkey since the age of 10!
it's choked, not chocked.
How sad . . . aww . . . Now I feel so bad for him. It's not fair when parents push their kids so much. Imagen if he doesn't win? Dang, his papa is gonna kill him or something. He's gonna be like, "You we're cute enough! Blush more!" Dang . . . poor David, this breaks my heart because he's so talented and if his parents do this to him he might end up on the same road as all the other stars. He might turn to drugs or alcohol. Oh no! My prayers are with you David.
I'll adopt his ass, he'll sing then, (and so will I).
im ten years older than him. does it make me a pedofile that i love david? maybe a couple of "to catch a predator" cameras will appear out of nowhere as i write this?!?!?
WTF DOES 2.0 MEAN???
you choked spelling "chocked"
David is still my favorite!! Hope his dad freaking backs off…..ass!! Leave him alone!
I think it's all made up and done on purpose. e.g make the young boy looks like he comes from poverty with the father wearing a "old baseball cap" at every performance, make up a story that he "looses" his voice earlier in his career, ever get laryngitis? Make him 'forget" his lines on performance night. When asked why he didn't sing the first lines of the Beatles song earlier, he mentions words to the effect, "It didn't speak to me" Baloney, his team of voice coaches did that on a song he was VERY well practiced on! I personally don't buy any of it……………….
I'll adopt him, then we will both be singing!
Doesn't surprise me one bit. Show biz parents can be way too extreme. And David's alluded to having a singing career since an early age and this is his big break. So full on show biz parent freak out is no surprise.
Hopefully, as a result of this public humiliation, dad will cool down with the pressure and find a way to enjoy this experience with his son, instead of making it even more stressful.
since when has joe simpson ever yelled or abused his daughters? never! all ive heard him do is do everything he could for them and support their pursuits even if they weren't talented. shit, my dad abused me and told me i stunk at singing and even refused to take me to a competition or choir practices. so your comparison is just..plain dumb.
i feel sorry for david but he seems fake anyways.
He probably got a beating for his perfomance last night!
He sucked and I didn't like him in the first place but I was really put off by the fact that he wasn't a Beatles fan and decided he'd do a Stevie Wonder cover of a Beatles song.
Ok, Perez…it is spelled 'choked' not 'chocked', but I will let you slide this time since most of the people leaving comments on this site don't have over a 2.6 Grade Point Level nor over a 60 Intelligence Quotient Rating.
Hahaha! "Joe Simpson 2.0". You are so funny Perez!
AWWW!!!
thats horrible david seems so sweet
He forgot the lyrics at least 4 times. It looked like he didn't rehearse enough. I hope his Dad isn't like Papa Joe. He looked like a little boy last night especially after following Michael Johns.
If Daddy Archuleta wanted his son to have a recording career, he would have taught him some Beatles songs! I'm not supporting him going off on his kid, but even David admitted in his taped segment that he's not too familiar with their stuff. Come on, it's the Beatles! But I hope his dad lays off — no one deserves that.
If this is ture.. what a fuckin prick !
As if being on AI is not stressful enough ! David is really nice and has a lovely voice, so Stage dad should just back the fuck off of him !
our local station here in utah ran a story on him last night..the poor kid has strep throat too..another parent trying to jump on the money train
I have an uneasy feeling that David might be gone tonite. He is clearly the most talented, but he was really terrible last nite. Why is he in a recording studio with his father in the first place? Perhaps he should have spent time learning his song instead. Sounds like his dad will be to blame if he is gone tonite.
Ultimate stage parent is Lynne Spears.. she had the ultimate control when it came to her daughter.. to the point it drove the little girl mad as a woman.. YET, Perez seem to love Brit's family.. Almost makes me think that Brit's fan don't really care about Brit herself, only the image they have of her.. ..Ultimate stage family the Spears..
Re: Bitches –
Yeah, Dear Perez always has a lot of grammer and spelling mistakes, it's part of his appeal. Just because you pointed that out doesn't mean you're the only one who knows how to spell it correctly.
IF THIS IS TRUE, HE'S A FUCKING JERK OFF. ANY PARENT SHOULD BE PROUD OF HAVING SUCH A SWEET KID. I LOVE THIS KID AND I VOTED FOR HIM. THAT ASSHOLE BETTER NOT RUIN THIS KID.
I absolutely adore David
FOR REAL..no one messes with David.
YOU ROCK DAVID!!!
Aww, that breaks my heart! I love David, and I think he's extremely talented and has a lot of potential. He's got a wise soul, and a great outlook and I hope that Daddy doesn't ruin that for him.
he is so sweet, i voted for him like 50 times.
So what if he forgets a few words? Lol. You crack me up. Tough to sing if you can't remember the words.
Clearly this little king of tweendom will not go home. I doubt he'd go home if he sang in the wrong key. Who cares if singers are on pitch?
Nope, I think Kristy Lee will go and frankly I'd rather see her booted than the little squirt. She butchered '8 Days a Week.'
Aww I love DAVID ARCHULETA!!
I would hate to see what his dad would have to say to him after that performance.
And sorry Perez but he is MY David!
GO DAVID ARCHULETA
Good God! That boy is HOT as hell with a voice to match. If you can't see that, go get a good pair of glasses people.
Personally, I don't believe it. I think he's been sick with strep this week, and it wore him down. Add to that all the pressure of the media calling him the front runner SO soon, and you get a very nervous kid who screwed up.
COME BACK STRONG NEXT WEEK BABY!!!!
Stage parents are great! They help contribute to drug and alcohol addiction treatment centers!
I LOVE David and I hope this isn't true..he is so sweet and I voted for him about 30 times
:). I hope this won't mess him up and he stays strong. I love him so much
He probably wants to beat the shit outta the poor kid but then his potential meal ticket would have to leave the show. Poor David. They should send the father packing.
i wonder why david always covers up with so much clothing? could he be covering brusies?
why people believe this kind of shit??
David I love you, go ahead and win AI!
CHOKED
Excuses, excuses. Maybe he just sucked.
You think this kid is hot? He looks like he hasn't even hit puberty yet. Get real.
Ok, this guy is the perfect American Idol. Like simon said: Young, good looking, and can actually sing. Hes 17- do you remember when YOU were 17? Im actually kinda ok with him having a rough night- 1) he's only human, 2) he's used up his 'bad night', 3) he's gunna pick songs he's more comfortable with…4) he'll put more into it.
he's a great little guy, and it sucks his dads an idiot whos pushin up so hard..although it could be a bunch of bullshit, and his dad could be a saint. he's not gunna loose… winning the title or not- he'll get out there… WE LOVE YOU BRITNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Britney's next step: styist, publisist, manager…blonde hair?
AWwwwww! poor baby…i love you david!
THAT SLUT! how dare he mess with our David!! WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS??
I LOVE DAVID ARCHULETA I LOVE DAVID ARCHULETA I LOVE DAVID ARCHUETA I LOVE DAVID ARCHULETA I LOVE DAVID ARCHULETA I LOVE DAVID ARCHULETA I LOVE DAVID I LOVE DAVID I LOVE DAVID I LOVE!!!!!!
——————————-dnt mesS wIT DAVID BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVR HIM! THEYD BETTER NOT LET HIM GO!!!!!!!!!!!! VOTE FOR DAVID—-I DID LIKE 500 TIMES–MY MOM IS SOOO ONNA KILL ME, BUT IDC.
Give me a break. This kid isn't fake. I read an article about everyone at his school talking about how shy he is and how he giggles because of it. It's not his fault that his dad has taken advantage of an obvious talent. Remember your teenage years? Were you responsible for your parents actions? I had a jerk for a dad, too. I just pray that little David can hold on for another 2 years and then leave his sorry ass behind in the dust.

I love this kid. Wonderful singer.
Once again, fatty Perez and his "terrible editor" cannot spell a basic word. Anyone remember his personal ad on Manhunt with his nasty naked body? He had spelling errors in that ad too. Sad.
Poor baby!
I sure don't hope his dad was stressing him out. It did seem like somethng was going on other than the words he missed. Poor kid. I wish him well.
my best friends cousin, he is amazing choking or not. his dad is chilll
Somone should be checking David over. A kid from his old Star Search days claims on another forum that Papa Archuleta was caught slapping young David backstage after a less than stellar performance. Producers were suitably alarmed.
It figures. The kid is only 17, still in school and having to do schoolwork and homework each day, and a finalist on a TV show, yet that's not good enough for his father. I hope the dad gets banned from the set like he got banned from Star Search. Sounds like he's looking for a meal ticket.
PEREZ IS AN ILLITERATE MORON - AGAIN. Perez, the word is "choked", not "chocked".
if thats true then his dad needs to BACK OFF.. i love david, hes amazing and too sweeet. i think he might have just been nervous though.. who knows
I LOVE U DAVID ARCHULETA!!!!!!!!!!!
Then he needs to f*** off
NOW.
For his sake.
My cousin goes to school with David and said that his parents are totally psycho, so this doesn't really surprise me.
Re: Bitches – Fuck you bitch, I'm clocking 75 on the IQ. That's a whole lik ten more than wat you siad.
I really don't care for David A., but if this story is true, somebody needs to take 2.0 out back and fuck him up. Even if the boy's almost 17 it still isn't right (and you can bet it's been going on a lot longer if it's happening now).
Perez, hon. Breathe, review, then post or at least find a cheap slut who can proofread and edit for you in exchange for a little fame-whoring. This post is a mess… "chocked" "According to Entertainment Tonight assert"
i love him.
aww david, it's okay.. i'll comfort you
This soooo better not be true. It will break my heart if this poor kid has a bully for a dad. Hellz no!
this kid needs to go home….he's too young to handle this kinda pressure and he's proving that with all the screw-ups last night. I also think Ramy should go…Her obvious song to Danny, who was booted last week is gonna be what drags her out of the running. That and shes so young. I'm thinking maybe Brooke and David Cook may just surprise everyone.
his dad brought him to tears? how gay can he get?
