American Idol's David Archuleta Responds To Stage Daddy Rumors


American Idol is down to 3 finalists and one is leaving tonight. What will happen this time? Can David Archuleta give it a go alone without stage daddy? I'm pretty sure he'll be fine. I think daddy has caused more harm than good.

Apparently Jeff Archuleta is no longer allowed to schedule sessions with son, David and was even said to be "banned" from the backstage area. This was rebuffed though by David Archuleta's voice coach Dean Kaelin who shared what really happened.

It appears that having Daddy Jeff Archuleta around gave David an unfair advantage and they wanted to take this out at the last minute. Hmm... something didn't sound right there but anyway moving on, Jeff suggested a lyrics change in one of the episodes that had American Idol paying for royalties on 2 songs instead of just one for David's performance. So that definitely must have hit a nerve.

Three to go - David Cook, David Archuleta and Syesha Mercado vie for the last spot on American Idol!
