J. Castro Speaks on Dreaded Stage Dad Drama

46. Just haven't watched the show this year. You have to sit through years of commercials until they get to the talent.
I'm glad the show is doing so well, but frankly, I'll wait for the Thanksgiving Day rerun/recap. TOO MANY COMMERCIALS and waiting too long for the performances. They'll take two singers and drag that out into an entire hour with only two performances and so much drivel in between you have to devote too much time to the bloody show.

Furgettouttit!

50. UPDATE MAY 11 NEWS UPDATE
LOS ANGELES According to American Idol spokesperson Andrea Jamison, the rumor about Jeff Archuleta, Idol contestant David Archuleta's father, being banned from backstage and rehearsals is false. "The rumors that surfaced yesterday on an entertainment Web site about Mr. Archuleta are categorically false," said Ms. Jamison. "As part of normal procedures at American Idol, ALL family members of contestants and personal coaches are prohibited from participating in rehearsals during the final two weeks of the competition and the finale."
According to online website TMZ, Jeff Archuleta was told this week by producers the he can no longer join his son David as he prepares for the show. The person was allegedly not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.
However, Ms. Jamison stated that this was mischaracterized. "The 'ban', if you will, applies to all family members and others not directly affiliated with the show and 19 Entertainment. This did not single out Mr. Archuleta nor do producers have any problems wit his conduct whatsoever."

51. JEFF ARCHULETA needs his azz kicked all the way back to Utah! What he's doing to DAVID amounts to child abuse. I hope and pray that if DAVID wins, he takes legal action so that he can be declared an adult, then bye bye to the abuser!

Jeff Archuleta, leave that boy alone!!!!! You are a sicko!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
