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!!!

Good. I hope his dad ruins his career because this kid is a big frickin' phoney,
awwww….but i love david archuleta
BACK OFF DADDY ARCHULETA! hahaha.
but seriously…he was amazing the weeks before last night's performance haha.
boo hoo.
There's always a stage parent. There's a special place in heck for mean stage parents.
now! … i like you xD
yeah! … thats horrible
well .. i love him!! .. he really rocksss
…chocked??? Choked, perhaps? or Shocked???
awh david(L)
we love you
STAGED STAGED ALL STAGED
how can we contact his dad and tell him nicely to back off??
He can possibly ruin everything for David! He was doing soo good!
poor little davey. he's the sweetest thing on this earth, i can't believe that he'd have a douchbag for a father. it also seems like the ones who are absolutely wonderful have jerks for parents tho.
Yeah I was shocked at how badly he did!! He is one of my fav's on AI, Im so glad he's still in.
I mean he even flubbed some of the lyrics, so not like him, poor guy.
He's just adorable.
what ever happened to telling your old man fuck off at age 17 and keying the word FAG into the side of his BMW??. I tell ya these modern kids are so useless…..this lil fairy is talentless. future female impersonator
David, if you really wanna piss daddy off….. bring home a black guy lol
I adore this kid. So talented and humble. Daddy better watch out. He'll have so many people after him he won't know what to do.
It's good that he had an off night because it jut goes to show that he's not little mr. perfect all the time! However, it doesn't change the fact that he's very talented. Go David A!
i love love love love david!!!!
he is the cutest ever!
The real issue is not so much that the kid has domineering father who is desperately trying to overcome his own colossal failures by living vicariously through his effeminate son; rather, it's that said son refuses to admit to himself (and the world) that he loves gargling putrid manchowder.
With respect to the bitch's "talent" as a singer, here's the deal: The bitch stated that he doesn't really know the Beatles catalog. Really? Then here's a newsflash for ya, Nancy: If you want to be a real singer, LEARN THE FUCKING BEATLES' SONGS!. Like it or not, the Beatles changed the face of popular music forever. Lennon/McCartney had a gift for melody and lyricism that will stand the test of time and will be here long after we're gone. (And before any of you idiots start proclaiming the band du jour as the epitome of musical art, save it. You can't win this). Instead, this bitch does an insipid cover of an insipid Stevie Wonder cover of a Beatles song. Stevie Fucking Wonder. SNORE!!!
(BTW, isn't it funny that Girl David tried to do Lennon's "Imagine" a few weeks back, considering his claims that he didn't know the Beatles and/or the post-Beatles work of Lennon/McCartney? The only reason he did "Imagine" is because one of AI's hack music directors ripped off Eva Cassidy's version of that song and gave it to Girl David because he's the ringer for this season.
AWW POOR DAVID I FEEL SO BAD FOR HIM HES DAD SHOULDNT STRESS HIM OUT LIKE THAT HE HAS GREAT TALENT DAMN HES DAD
His Dad is probably the reason he can't just "be his - self", if you know what i mean…! Queens all ovah the world are just waiting for the birthday clock to turn 18, and the closet door to kick open!
HE AINT NO FRIGGON PHONY KIDS WITH A GREAT VOICE LIKE THAT WOULD TRY OUT FOR THINGS NOT JUST SIT AROUND AND DO NOTHIN IF A KID WITH A GREAT VOICE LIKE THAT AND HAS A PASSION FOR SINGIN IN PLACES THEY SHOULD.
david rocks, he's such a sweet boy and probably the happiest person ever. we should all aspire to be such a ball of joy! i hope his parents don't ruin his life
Good grief, it's not enough to deal with all of the misspelled words, bad grammer and foul language that comes through on your replies, but to actually read it from you is terrible. It is "choked", not "chocked". For heaven's sakes, learn to spell.
Poor kid. He seems so sweet & genuine. Even though he didn't do well on Tuesday, he's still America's favorite according to DialIdol.com.
Get rid of your dad, David!
Post a teenage angst video like Daniel Noriega. Hit puberty! Rebel!
And sing the below! It won't end you up in hell. That's just your crazy dad talking.
Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine there's no Heaven

AWWWW
his dad is such a jerkoff
i love david!
he is gonna win!
awww :[
Love this kid. His studio version of We Can Work It Out is spot on. Had he sung like that the other night, he'd have been the best. I don't worry about him one bit. He's got this in the bag.
i love him!!!!!1
poor thing, i so wish i was there to cheer him uppp
tell his dad to fuck off!!there's a reason they hire vocal coaches for da contestants and not parents!!!!!!!!!!
The boy is a midget and doesn't know that he is gay yet. His father looks like a jerk. The kid is an amature.
1st his hot n he wouldnt get off that show even if he messed up cuz girls love himm
2-hes HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Hello! HE DID IT ON PURPOSE! Why can't anyone see that? He is so afraid people were going to vote him off for being TOO good, he had to show America that he isn't some perfect robot… I forgive him though, he's awesome.
as for his Dad - I hope he gets run over by a bus or at least bitch slapped by Simon.
David is so tiny compared to his dad. I fear for his well being if he forgets his words again.
awe, poor babe. he's so adorable. he looked so cute when he forgot his words the other night, haha (L)
Bless his little heart…they ought to kick his daddy out! David would be just fine without him stressing him out. No wonder he said just thinking about it was stressing him out!!! I'm tired of hearing people dis David, too…it doesn't matter WHAT kind of person you are, you are always gonna be hated on. He's 17, adorable as can be, obviously shy and his nerves always show but it doesn't affect his performances, he's BRILLIANT! Yet, let his daddy stress him out and it wrecks him performance…no matter how bad he does, I'll be voting for him every week, i hope he wins this thing, he deserves it! And for people who are hating on him, stop being such dickheads and be happy there is REAL talent instead of dumbasses like Kellie Pickler…
Perez, learn English or go back to Mexico. You misspelled "choked" on THE LINK. Fool.
awwwwwwwwwww i love david, he's my fave! My poor baby cried???
AWWW Poor David hes my favorite! No wonder he is so timid! And they also said when he was 12 and on Star Search his dad used to do the same!
Holy crap. They David's STUDIO version of "We can work it out" on itunes. IT IS AWESOME!!!!!! Now I have to say this is my favorite of all the songs he's sang so far. Never thought I'd say that after the live version wasn't the best, but the version on itunes was recorded in the studio. IT IS SO ADDICTING!! That boy can sing anything, I swear. What a voice. Makes me smile everytime I hear it.
Re: perezisdumb – Perez is Cuban you dumb racist fuck!
I FUCKING LOVE DAVID ARCHULETA! WOOHOO!
I don't think he chocked, I think he choked.
David goes to my high school, we are kind of buddies. It is well known around our smallish town that davids dad is a douchebag.
He wont even let david text anyone, even his own sister.
His dad is just in it for th money and everyone knows it…
awwww!!! i HEART him!! his dad needs to shut up!!
hes a good singer! AND super cute!!=D
DO NOT MESS WITH HIM!!!!!!!! DADDY BACK OFF NOW!!!!!
This is totally made up. David's family is incredible and I know they have just let him just be a normal kid for the last several years. I know his family and I know what I'm talking about. I think this is an attempt by some frustrated supporters of some other contestant or someone mad at the success David is having so they are trying to trash his family thinking this is the only way they can get people to stop voting for him. The bad thing is they aren't allowed to say anything or defend themselves while they are on the show and the magazines make up stuff like, "the family would not make any comments", well, DUH, they aren't allowed to. Notice how most of the rumors and gossip stories never mention who said what they claim happened, it is always, "reportedly", allegedly, sources say, etc. That is a dead giveaway that the sources are probably full of it.
ILOVEEUU DAVID your the best;)
HE ROCKSS! :*
and yeah i know his dad is such a jerk!
i think is hes dad faultt that he did a little bit bad!
but still hes the best ;D!
