David Archuleta's Stage Dad Has Idol Connections

Rumors are circulating that David Archuleta (pictured, left, grinning stupidly with a puppy) is dealing with his dad Jeff Archuleta, the stage dad from hell. But besides the fact that Jeff probably pushes his kid way too hard, he has previous Idol connections. His cached Loopwise page states that his company Arch Music Group has "spent the last 5 years working with American Idol and Star Search performers as well as young up and coming singers and songwriters who want to compete in the top 40 arena." Well we know he probably counts his son as the Star Search performer, but the Idol connection is interesting. As if David didn't already have the previous connection where he met with Idol producers during season one, now his dad has been working with show contestants. We'll do some more digging and let you know what we find out. This season of Idol is like a giant forest... of suck.

I support the work of your website whole-heartedly, but I have to disagree with your choice of Amanda as lead suckmeistersinger. At least she is interesting and somewhat original. I have to support Kristy Lee Cook as the worst all around contestant still in. The poor girl looks like she is in pain everytime she takes the stage. When she attempts to "dance" with the music it is more of a spasmodic gyration. The level of her talent is about the same as a second runner-up in the county fair talent show... and a sparsely populated county at that.

And so the plot thickens!

If this website got a dime for everytime someone incorrectly asserts that "worst" means the worst singer, without paying minute attention to the "About Us" section, someone would be a fucking millionaire.

There's no way they are trying to sabotage him. The story about his epic failure on Tuesday and overbearing stage dad crap hit all the entertainment shows as a major story immediately afterward. They are going to turn that horrible performance around to where David gets pity votes to start, and then next week we get the big "comeback" performance where he "redeems" himself and becomes the greatest thing ever all over again.

That is exactly what I think is going to happen as well. I couldn't have put it better myself. After last night's Entertainment Tonight, he will even get more votes because people will feel sorry for him. His dad sounds like a huge tool, but that doesn't mean everyone should burn up the phone lines voting for him. It just means someone should hire a big muscle bound beefcake to go and kick daddy's ass.

Common misconception with this site. It's not the Worst singer per se; read the "About" section, perhaps you'll find enlightenment.

That almost made me feel a little bad for Gaspuleta.

I LOVE Jeff Archuleta's cached page showing his "Areas of Expertise". What, did he just do a search of "music" and then copy and paste every genre he could find?

As John Madden said (in regards to quarterbacks, but it fits well with areas of expertise), "When you've had that many, you haven't had any."

I don't hate David A. but I don't like his parents. Between him and Carlyplant, I'll vote for him. Not at this point though.

When you say Wheezy is down to Earth and humble, I presume you mean devoid of personality and totally cowed into submission by Stage Dad From Hell.

I am feeling the need to defend myself here as I think I am being maligned unfairly. I assure all, I have read the "about us" section. At no point do I call Kristy the "worst singer" nor do I mention her singing at all. I do call her the worst over-all contestant, which would include her total lack stage presence and stage presentation. If the "contest" is to find the most marketable contestant, she surely must be one of the contestants the producers would least like to see win as she has neither the looks nor talent to make a dime for anyone.
