"Idol" to Archuleta: Lose the Dad, Carry the 1

David ArchuletaHe's just hours away from performing live in front of millions of people, but 17-year-old "American Idol" wonderboy David Archuleta still has a few problems to work out -- problems of the high school math kind.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ that David has been with his tutor on the set, gettin' his state-mandated learnin' on.

Looks like a passion for math runs in the Archuleta family. As TMZ first reported, his dad Jeff just got a lesson in subtraction late last week.

And your point is? Hatred begets hatred, the difference is David hasn't done anything to deserve it. The mean-spirited posters here have.

25. I can't remember the name of the guy that Danny Divito played in "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest," but Archie sure looks like him with those wierd little eyes. I'm sorry, but this kid is as boring as all get out. Come to think of it, I think American idol has run its course and has become as boring as watching paint dry.

26. Sweet young boy with overbearing father. He has such potential as a broadway star with that remarkable voice, but his young innocent look is not congruent with being a pop star. I hope he succeeds in his future endeavors, and I hope his father gives him some much needed space.

30. It is sad that all this hate is directed at this young boy. All he has done was come on to the show and sing. From what I see that is not a crime. he seem to be very innocent , that is reason he is the way he is. Leave the boy alone and let he follow his dream of singing.
