Jeff Archuleta -- Daddy Denial

The "Idol" runner-up's extreme stage dad cost the show serious coin by telling David to change the lyrics in one of his songs, which then got daddy banned from backstage -- but try asking Jeff Archuleta about it.

Ain't just a river in Egypt, my friend.

22. Senior Archuleta learned a valuable lesson in that "he" wasn't the star of the show. He can join the parents of the Spears, Lohans and all of the others who crave the lime light through their own childern's celebrity. It must be tough to know your kid can bring home the bacon when you (the parent) can't. If daddy dearest doesn't back off, he's going to ruin his son's life.

24. Many were saying Davids Dad would throw a huge fit on National television if his Son did not win. Guess what, he was a pure gentleman. Many said David A would receive a beating from his Dad if he didn't win. Guess what, according to Davids own words the first thing his Father done was give him a big hug and tell him how proud he was of him, he also told David that he was already a winner in his eyes. David and his Dad have a great relationship and it's time to go harass someone else, this is now outdated and false news!

28. Nigel said the ban had nothing to do with the lyrics. It was to protect Archie from his Dad. At least he wasn't mean. He probably did cost his son the win. But he's signed with Jive so it looks good. Both Davids will do very well.
