My Daddy's Just Misunderstood
Filed under: American Idol
That David Archuleta is one good son. That, or he's brainwashed very well!
Even though his dad, Jeff, is banned from being backstage on American Idol, David says, “I don’t really care what people say, but I know it’s affected him and stressed him out."
Reports remain that the producers were very upset and bothered by Jeff, who insisted that his son switch the lyrics of Stand By Me to include a stupid verse from Sean Kingston's Beautiful Girls, even though they warned him not to do so.
American Idol was then forced to pay much higher royalties due to the lyrics.
Archuleta adds, “I’ve heard some weird things that people have been saying, and it’s kind of a bummer. I think I, of all people, would know what’s going on, and he’s been great."
And , David, responded to reports that his dad withheld water from him during a recording session by stating, "That’s kind of stupid. I’m 17! I think I’d be able to stand up for myself if he were to take my water away.”
Really?
David adds, "He’s given me a lot of good advice and helped me from making any dumb decisions. He understands more than anyone what I want in music, and I’ve felt really blessed to have someone like that.”
Stockholm syndrome!!!!!!

Reason #417 I have no interest in this year's idol. Those people are as interesting as discarded nail clippings.
EWWWW
FIRSTTT BITCHESSS
1st
Of course he's going to defend him. His dad would probably beat his ass if he said one bad word about him. Look in that kids eyes their full of fear. Fame will just destroy a kid like this.
shit
FIRST BITCHES
I LOVE YOU PEREZ!!!!
Yeah, I think he can take care of himself. I'm more impressed that he got out a full sentence though, without UMMing and HMMing his way through it!
first
first…….and what a dumbass
lol, stockholm syndrome xDDD these stage parents always have their kids brainwashed. just wait until he's old enough and gets emancipated like so many other famous kiddos.
ahhhh yea right lol
fourth
its is so nice to see such a wonderful young child be so courteous to his children! now if only mine were like that!
This kid is 17? Shit, I def. would have thrown him in a locker in HS… you PANZIE! Get a grip; drink some beer, smoke some weed, bone a bitch…
first biatches
I think you people should know that I have borderline Downs Syndrome.
How old is he?
I thought he was a disney child star until i read he's on american idol. I'm so surprised
poorkid
This kid needs to grow a pair. Sooo tired of his incessant crying.
OMG PEREZ I LOVE YOU but ALL PARENTS ARE BANNED from backstage. stop picking on David's dad.
FIRST.
his daddy gives it to him right up the wazoo
p-nasty style
All parents are banned. Give it a break, it's not just David's dad.
Team David Cook !
PLEASE DON'T LET HIM WIN AMERICAN IDOL.
LOVE, THE U.K.
XOXO
I LOVE HIM!!!
He is SO cute!
DAFTMFW!!!
But I think Daddy Archuleta should back off.
Re: David Archuleta –
Wow Hi David!
I always could tell you had Downs Syndrome.
It's like WAY obvious with all your heavy breathing and whatnot.
Dad needs his meds
David A. is a good singer, but he has zero showmanship. He is totally boring. I agree with other posters, American Idol has become one boring show.
Nope, just Mormon. He'll do whatever Daddy says and will defend anything Daddy does.
i love him!! he is so cute!!!
i hate his dad!!!
stockholm syndrom lol. u r so clever perez.
perez leave david the fuck alone. i didn't comment on your last bashing post about him, but now i am. he's a sweet, genuine kid…leave him aloneeeee. go back to gossiping about the lohans. kthxbai!
I LOVE YOU DAVID!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT IS MORE THAN HE HAS EVER SAID ON AMERICAN IDOL. WHAT A FUCKING PUPPET.
he's so talented & cute, stop hating on him cause of his dad
Where a fresh diaper little david, and don't waddle. Have you told your daddy you are gay yet?
Wear….Wear a fresh diaper……
OPEN YOUR EYES you little creep! He looks like he's blind half the damn time!
This is so sad!! It's going to come down to the two Davids and then American Idol will fix the final votes so that Cook wins just so that they will not have to deal with Papa Archuleta……
oh, shut the fuck up Perez, you shit head. What the fuck do you know about David and his dad's situation but rumours? Perez, you're a big fat ugly piece of shit that just dies for attention. Get a fucking life you shitface.
David is a nice guy.. and 100% COMPLETELY BRAINWASHED. HIS DAD WAS ALSO BANNED FROM STAR SEARCH!!!! A TALENT SHOW BACK IN TEH LATE 80'S EARLY 90'S. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM conincidence?? I think NOT!
Jeff is a dictator and has a way of talking David into doing and apprantely SYAING whatever he wants. Think of David as a puppet. Sad thing is.. wait til David hits it big.. his dad will have his hands in EVERTYINGS> including his money.. he will tell David it is for his BEST interest.. WHile lining his pockets with money.. MARK MY WORDS PEOPLE!!
David knows that if he messes up his dad will tear his little tail up and make him cry.
His dad should be checked out by CPS because of the many complaints of those around David all of his life. Talented children tend to have parents who live vicariously through them and then stand in the limelight. This kid has a singing voice that is so natural that it is almost unreal. His father needs to just make sure David isn't manipulated by the vipers out there. And David needs to keep Dad off the payroll and put his money with a very respectable investment company.
It's his father, for christs sake. Of course he's going to defend him. If it was my Dad, I'd do the same. It's family–hey we all someone in our families who embarass us. That doesn't mean you turn on them!!!
Sad… this kid, and I stress KID is so deluded……. I predict that he wont even come in second…. then his daddy will probably beat his ass. Sad….. where is David's mother? Does anyone know?
Nic
His singing sucks. His dad's a psycho. Paula is drunk on the show.
I think its time for you guys to get the x factor show.its like ai but open 2 all ages and groups.we had pop idol which was basically ukidol but x factor took over about 4 years ago.Leona lewis was found on x factor.
.
.
WHAT A LITTLE BITCH! I HOPE HIM AND HIS "DADDY" LOSE!
.
.
in every picture, his mouth is gaping open and he looks like one of jerry's kids. he just kinda looks retarded. poor kid, but he can sing pretty good.
maybe if he got a haircut or a buzz cut it would help, maybe a little? it just sucks to go around looking like a special needs kid.
Perez, most of your readers have no idea what Stockholm syndrome is.
All the stressed it caused his DAD??? HELLO?! His Dad has a HISTORY of being controlling! What about the stress he causes David to have?
David Archuleta is the most talented one. He deserves the win the most! And he is a cutie
He is sugar all over with a cherry on top!!!
HE IS SUCH A LITTLE SWEEEEEEEEET!!!!
David A. should win idol this year!!! DA for the winnnnn
Apperantly his dad is in the music buisness. what if bon jovis kid was on Idol whould he be allowed to guide his sone to a win. DONT sound fair to me. REMEMBER Idol has a stake in who wins. The record co makes money off of them plus the tours.
I bet he is Daddy's little knob-slob.
I am so surprised to see so many hatefilled posts here. Why would anyone hate suc h a cutie is beyond me. so kindly, fuck you haters.
Awww, davids so cute to say that. I think this whole stage Dad thing is being blown out of total proportion. I think his dad wasn't being a "stage dad" i think he was just giving david small pushes to be better, but what parent wouldn't do that. It's not called being a stage parent, it's called being a PARENT. so get off jeff's back and leave them alone!
I love David Archuleta… He will win American Idol.
DA FTMFW!
GO AWY YOU LITTLE TROLL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God I hate this punk …….. Little whinner………………………Ballard singer. If he knew how to rock, we would all be happier. Only people screaming his name is little girls………….All he will appeal too………Just go home you little troll
Little Stepford Son David has no chance. Daddy Jeff ruined any chance he had. He is like a little zombie who doesn't know what to say unless daddy tells him. He has a great voice, but zero personality, which counts for a lot.
How could you guys be so inconsiderate to David? He is 17, have alittle faith 'n respect! It's pressuring for him!!!!I don't hear your names being screamed for! Just look at him! He is a little ANGEL!!! LEAVE DAVID ALONE!!!! Don't make me make a leave David alone video!!
HAHAHA
lol, stockholm syndrom…..
Perez I LOVE U MAN! u rock!
STOCKHOLM POWER! biiiiatch!
poor kid
Re: JohnnyDo –
your so gay. leave him alone. your just jealous you cant have the great life hes living!!! get a grip and all those girls your "supermanning" i hope you know that if she did it with another guy. its basically the same thing like you having sex with that guy. so shut it leave david alone! i least everyone LOVES him. you, they USE you.
You all seriously need to stop bitching on a talented young man like him.
Focus on all the incoherent celebs who waste their time partying and doing drugs.
He's genuinely a sweet kid, don't give him crap because he's inexperienced.
I bet not even 1/15th of all you shittalkers bashing on him, could stand so much pressure, of being on the most popular show in the country and having gossip spread about your own father.
Shut the Hell up,
laterdayzz
What a sexy beast he becomes when he sings. i love his mouth.
