Archie's Awful Stage Dad Is Out


Jeff Archuleta, father of American Idol favorite David Archuleta, has been banned from show rehearsals after meddling with a song that was to air after he had been warned by producers not to.


According to MSN, "Jeff Archuleta's intense backstage involvement had become a source of concern for the series, the person connected with 'American Idol' said — but it was a lyric change on Tuesday's show that pushed producers to act. Despite a warning, Jeff Archuleta insisted on altering 'Stand by Me,' one of two songs his son sang on the show Tuesday. By adding a verse from Sean Kingston's 'Beautiful Girls,' the father incurred additional costs for 'American Idol,' the person said."


The producers then told Archuleta he would no longer be allowed to help his son prepare for the show.


No one from either camp has commented publicly about the situation. We'll see this week how this will affect little David's performance.
