[ # ] David Archuleta’s dad banned from American Idol
May 10th, 2008 under American Idol 7

David Archuleta's long-rumored stage dad has finally banned from everything but sitting in the audience at American Idol according to TMZ.
Here's how it went down. "Idol" sources tell TMZ Jeff has been a complete pain in the ass, interfering with the entire production. He has badgered producers, the band, vocal coaches and even other contestants. The final straw came this week, when Jeff wanted to change the lyrics to David's first song, "Stand By Me." Jeff insisted on adding a verse from Sean Kingston's hit, "Beautiful Girls." Producers sent him an e-mail telling him the lyrics could not be changed. They were beyond pissed when David sang the song with Kingston's lyrics during the live show.
The day after his dad made him change the lyrics, he was brought in to the AI lawyer's office where they told him he was no longer allowed to be with his son during rehearsals or backstage. I wonder how this will affect David's performances and if this cost him the win. I mean why would the label want to deal with him now that they know his dad will make their life hecks and considering how well the last two Idols sold, is it worth it to them to have a stage dad harassing them throughout the whole process?
