"Idol" Fans Prefer No Talent Dad to Wannabe Son

Since when are people fans of verbally abusive stage dads?

The "American Idol" tour rolled through D.C. today and it was actually Jeff Archuleta that signed the most autographs -- besting son David and "Idol" champ David Cook. Some people have strange tastes.

46. I'm a huge david fan and this is not really news to me,but it's kinda funny when people as autographs from his father lol. BY the way it is true that Phillip is going to Florida he mentioned it on his myspace, so that's not a false fact..

52. Yes - some of David's fans ask Jeff for his autograph because they have common sense and do not believe stage dad stories from anonymous sources just because the media prints them. Even AP admitted they had no sources to back up the smears. David's fans admire Jeff and empathize with him over what the media did to David and his family. But no way Jeff signs more autographs than David. Even diehard fans of other Idols have commented on forums about how nice Archie is about connecting with the fans, signing a ton of things and posing for photos, and staying out there doing it for as long as he can. At a recent signing David stayed out there for 2 hours so sign everything. I have seen David sign things at signings after the concerts when there are so many people wanting autographs and he tries so hard to sign them all. David loves his fans and he signs an amazing amount of stuff for them.

53. Why are you guys bashing either of the David's? I met both of them and they are so sweet and nice. The only reason they can't make it out sometimes is because of press conferences. And TMZ, you're the reason Mr. Archuleta has all of the publicity, you do that to him, you built him up. And both of the David's are hopefully going to be very sucessful. They don't need all of this crap from TMZ or any angry haters.
