An Idiot Never Learns- Jeff Archuleta, David's Annoying Stage Dad, Is Now Banned from Idol



Well that didn't take long. Terrible stage dad Jeff Archuleta has been banned from Idol, says TMZ. They say "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." Too funny! That's the same stuff he pulled when David was on Star Search. The straw that broke the camel's back was his insistance that David add lyrics from Sean Kingston's "Beautiful Girls" to Tuesday's show. Since the song was not cleared, it cost the show tons of money and pissed everyone off. Hey, this banning is great news for us! 1) David won't have to sleep in the cage tonight. 2) Without his dad's help, David is much more likely to forget the words and give us a VFTW performance. 3) The awkward gasping will be at an all time high this week. Bravo, Idol staff. Bravo.

Edited To Add: The Associated Press is confirming the story. Here at VFTW, we really know how to pick our train wrecks.

I thought it was kind of weird when he started singing "And all you beautiful girls" because it seemed forced and David Archuleta isn't straight anyway. He doesn't really seem to like girls despite all the attention they give him.

I like the video TMZ has of Archie bawling on stage while all the girls scream at him. It's pretty hilarious.

Whats pathetic is they only kicked him out because it cost them money because of that added in line. They could care less about David's welfare they only care about $$$$ This should of been done a long time ago

Better late than never I suppose. Now can you please ban him from the audience as well?

The Achulator fantards are already out in force crying about the lies lies lies being spread by TMZ. What I don't get is...if they love and care for this kid so much, why aren't they outraged by his manipulative and controlling father?

this banning of dadchuleta may be the BEST thing to happen to the poor boy. He might finally grow up without daddy cracking the whip!

So does this mean Gaspy can pick his own song this week (after Crypt-Keeper Clive's pick and whatever the judges want)?

Love the pic, BTW.

Because in the eyes of Archie's fantards, he's the second coming of Christ and can do no wrong. Which, I guess, makes his father God.

GialloGuy--ole man Clive no longer is the producer song picker. It's evil Nigel who picks it now.

She is the worst song-picker ever. I still cringe when I remember poor Bo Bice singing "Satisfaction." He would have been so much better off with a Lynyrd Skynyrd song, or even a Three Dog Night song, than that lame pick. What was Pauler thinking? "He loves Southern rock, so I'm gonna have him sing a Rolling Stones song that is indelibly linked with Mick Jagger because he lives in London, and that's in the south part of England, right? Who moved my Coca-Cola glass full of vodka?"
