MissKingkongz2 · 05-12-2008, 09:44 PM

not the right way to support David to his career..this daddy seemed not trusting his son to build his career on his own, well hope to see him succeed WITHOUT his daddy

I'm sure he'll do great without his father, he has the voice , the personality to become a singer .........so theres no problem.
It's hard, having your father or mother control you but think about it, you learn something from
their talents, the things they couldn't acomplish. David will flow through, if he just stop thinking about what his father wants and think about what he wants (meaning who cares what he wants) hes the one singing not Jeff.
you'll hav a dream come true!!!! DAVID ARCHULETA.....BEST OF WISHES

I still can't believe that after what happened to him, there are still other people who said bad things about him, shame on you strrynight 'n ladytext01.. even if he is a "goldenboy" or whatever.. do you think that what he achieve right now come from out of nowhere.. I believe that he worked hard for that.. especially with that kind of father.. coz I have a brother who runs into drugs coz he can't handle pressure, 'n it hurt us so bad.. so I give David A two thumbs up for not letting his evil father ruins his life, instead, what should have been a nightmare he turning it into something good.. he become somebody.. 'n that's what I hope for my brother.. (I'm sorry if make this personal..)

just ignore strrynight and ladytext101 if you acknowledge what they have to say then they win.and really they simply aren't worth listening to.

It doesn't matter who helps whom, in the end it's David that does the singing..it's too bad that at the end of the season bad spirits come out ....regardless if his Father is there are not the you man is a Great singer............Hat's off to his family for being able to holp him...that's what's wrong with the world now, our youth don't have any support with their endeavors...If I had to have someone helping me in a field that they have knowlege in I would perfer my parent....because of course hi sFather has influence over him...he did raise him......with respect and humility...Hat's off Father Archuleta...hat's Off!

Forced? Now, really. Obviously Jeff Archuleta had quite a bit to say about David's performances, etcetera, but the boy is 17 years old and old enough to make his own decisions. Unless his father said "You are no longer a member of this family if you don't sing these lyrics" David is ultimately responsible for the things that he does.

I am glad that Jeff Archuleta is out from backstage because he does seem rather overbearing, and David seems like a nice kid, but come on, let's call a spade a spade here.

RennIreigh2 · 05-13-2008, 05:30 AM

Added--several people have mentioned that David seems to be "emotionally abused." I agree that the kid is deferential to a fault but that is not necessarily indicative of authoritarian or abusive upbringing. What do!@#!@entation do we have, other than hearsay, of Jeff Archuleta being "stage dad-ish" or abusive? I haven't seen any articles anywhere say that the man IS a stage dad, just that he is "said to be" or was "rumored to be." I'm not trying to defend the man but I'd rather not vilify someone without due cause. If there IS due cause, I feel for David, but if not, we're giving his father an undeserved bad name.

17 years old is still very young -- especially in an arena such as the AI phenomenon. If someone you have listened to your entire life, someone you have been taught since birth to honor and respect tells you what to do -- even if the people you are working for say not to -- who do you obey? If the someone you honor and obey tends to cause a ruckus not only with the people you are working for and the people coaching you but also with your fellows in this crazy new world you have ventured into -- what would you do to keep the peace? I think the answer is listen to the someone you are preconditioned to obey. I may not care for David's performance style or musical choices -- but I do feel really sorry for him. To have to put up with this type of publicity circulating at this crucial time in the competition is a lot to ask of anyone -- let alone a boy.

Or perhaps it is a strategy cunningly orchestrated by David's father in order to gain some sympathy votes to better propel an Archie win. Who knows? Either way it is both sad and pathetic.

"... Jeff Archuleta's reported constant berating of vocal coaches, the band and even the other singers..."
When, where, what, how? I haven't seen any articles. Can someone refer me?
