Daddy Archuleta = Joe Simpson 2.0

Filed under: American Idol

davididol.jpg

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!!!

    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 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.

  14. Sim says – reply to this


    114

    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!

  15. janet says – reply to this


    115

    i love love love love david!!!!
    he is the cutest ever!

  16. amused to death says – reply to this

    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.

    121

    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

    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.

    132

    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.

    135

    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…

    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.

    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…

    146

    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.
