I've been sitting on my butt all day and not opening my computer until I get this thanks to cattyfan! ;-)
David Archuleta's dad has been banned from rehearsals on Idol! Jeff Archuleta, David's Dad, was told by the producers of the show that "he can no longer join his 17-year-old son David as he prepares for the show." Good!!! He's only 17 and does not need any more pressure from his dumb stage dad.
I'm so excited for this next two weeks of Idol I can hardly contain myself, no joke. Have a good weekend, and a Happy Mother's Day for all you Moms!!!

Apparently Dear Old Dad pulled the same crap when Davey was on Star Search...going so far as to harrass by phone a 12 year-old girl (calling her with threats in the middle of the night.) The producers allowed Dad only at performances, and he had to sit with security. What a creep.
I have two words for The Fetus: Emancipated Minor.

That poor kid. Honestly. I hope he takes his success and cuts the cord so that he can finally stop being Daddy's puppet.

It was reported today that "producers made their decision after Jeff Archuleta's decision to change lyrics of a song his son performed Tues night resulted in the program's incurring additional music clearance costs."
Just how does changing lyrics incur further clearance costs?!
Irrespective of whether Fetus' allegedly overbearing Dad should be backstage or not--
I call shenanigans!

At his dad's insistance, and after having been told by the producers not to, The Fetus incorporated the lyrics from another song into Stand By Me.
The show then has to pay because of the copyright on the song...and the fact that they didn't have permission to use that song.
