David Archuleta’s Dad Picks His Songs
The rumors about David Archuleta’s dad being a notorious stage parent are turning out to be true. David’s voice coach is saying that Jeff Archuleta (David’s dad) selects the songs that David sings on American Idol.
David’s voice coach told us that Jeff Archuleta does give David a shortlist of songs to choose from and that he coaches his son on interpretation — but, he says, it’s only to make things fair between David and his main rival David Cook.
However, the trainer said that in six years of working with the Archuletas, he has never seen Jeff use, “any kind force or coercion.”
Jeff also was caught screaming at David during a rehearsals until the young boy cried. Years ago when David was on Star Search his dad had to be sequestered due to his unruly behavior.
UPDATE: American Idol has now banned Jeff Archuleta from being backstage.

You guys are idiots to write such garbage.
This kid will never have a moments peace at the hands of this man. I hope he doesn’t win and get trapped into a life of badgering. How sad for a little boy. I had heard this man was a beast but didn’t want to believe it. What a shame. Let the kid be a kid and make his own decisions. I always wondered why he couldn’t even answer a simple question without stammering and studdering…I guess now we all know.
