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.

46. Why are some of you people so mean? Don't you have a real life and a real job? Why does Jeff Archuleta owe you an explanation why he wears a hat. When did you people becomae the fashion experts for all the contestants? He is not the one singing. Leave these people alone. Go take a look in the mirror and see what you look like. FREAKS, move on. Get a freaking life, a real job and go to anger management classes. You seem angry all the time at people you don't even know. WOW, Very creepy folks some of you here.

49. This is my fourth attempt at posting a comment here. I'm not exactly what the problem is; maybe TMZ doesn't want people to read what I have to say, maybe??? I think that those people who never liked David from the beginning are the ones adding fuel to the fire. When you don't care enough about something to do your own research, to take time to get the facts, to take time to determine whether a story holds any real truth...then, you obviously want to hear all of the negativity. Those of us who were David A. fans from the beginning obviously care enough not to be drawn into this rubbish and we are intelligent enough to tell when a story has been completely fabricated. If everyone would stop feeding off of these rediculous tabloids, TMZ wouldn't have enough readers to warrant having this website anyway!

50. I was disturbed at the reporter's obvious attempts to provoke Jeff A into a response. This explains why the stars will do ANYTHING to stay away from these people. Also explains why Princess Diana lost her life trying to get away from the paparazzi. Hopefully, this reporter was just trying to get at the truth, which I think is obvious. David is sweet, extremely talented and vulnerable. Jeff is now and always has, I'm sure, been very tough with those he feared might try to exploit and manipulate his son. Both of which I think American Idol did. I doubt he was much fun to work with, and once AI changed their minds from wanting Archie to win, to wanting Cook to win, they allowed the rumors to "leak out"....then, at the most critcal time in the competition, they banned Jeff-therefore causing so much speculation and scrutiny (all the while shamelessly pimping Cook), Archie both lost confidence and fans those past few weeks.
