It is being reported that American Idol contestant David Archuleta’s dad Jeff has officially been banned from the show. Sources say that Jeff has been a complete pain interfering with the entire production. From badgering producers, the band, vocal coaches and even the other contestants, someone has finally had enough. The final straw came when Jeff wanted to change the lyrics to David’s song ‘Stand by Me’ by adding Sean Kingston’s lyrics from ‘Beautiful Girls’. Producers were reportedly beyond pissed when David sang it on the show. Changing the lyrics caused problems with the song’s publisher and cost the show a lot of money. Jeff was ordered to sit with AI lawyers last week who told him he was “banned from being in the rooms where David was learning or rehearsing his songs.†He can sit in the audience during the live shows but he’s banned backstage.
