American Idol sensation David Archuleta may have gotten a spot in the Top 3, but his dad, Jeff Archuleta got booted off the backstage. Producers of the show informed the senior Archuleta that he can no longer join his 17-year old son during rehearsals after he made an unauthorized lyric change to David’s “Stand By Me” performance during the Top 4 night. Despite the warnings from the management, Jeff still persuaded his son to modify the song’s lyrics by throwing off a line from the song “Beautiful Girls” by Sean Kingston.

Apparently, the meddlesome move of David’s father has cost A.I. a gazillion bucks of lawyers’ fees, and the producers aren’t happy about it.

Sources say that Jeff Archuleta has been a total pain in the ass at rehearsals and backstage, interfering with the entire production. The 17 year old’s dad continuously pestered the crew including the band, producers and vocal coaches. More so, even some Idol contestants weren’t comfortable with the assertive dad’s presence during rehearsals and didn’t want him near them. Now their wish comes true.

This isn’t the first time Jeff Archuleta got a backstage ban. Tagged as the “stage dad from hell”, rumors have it that he was also banned on the set of “Star Search” where David was a contestant a couple of years ago.
Aww… the lovable David must be feeling downhearted with what happened. But don’t worry dear, millions love you and your dad should be watching from the audience’ side for moral support. FYI: David wowed all three judges with his “Stand By Me” performance.
