Dad Thrown Off 'Idol' Island

"American Idol" instituted a backstage ban on David Archuleta's dad, Jeff. The papa to the pop star can no longer stand by 17-year-old David, reportedly after producers became fed up with Jeff's attempt to change a lyric in David's performance of "Stand by Me."

Now, "Extra" has judge Simon Cowell weighing in on the matter -- but the notoriously nasty judge is bowing out of this dispute. "To be fair to him, I don't really see him -- I don't know what he does," says Simon. "He hasn't said anything to me."

See who of the final three wows the judges on "American Idol," Tuesday on FOX.

I can tell you with this post that David A. sings with a genuine feeling of compassion and shared love within himself to all those who listen and just see him. You can see in his expression that he sings to reverberate a urgent need of a freeing for expressed loved anywhichway for today’s hyper youth livng life on media steroids. He reaches a much larger preferred audience for the long term than David C. whom I think would definitley be temporary in todays world of music entertainment. David Archuleta is RIGHT for who he really is.

Not true.
David A. is okay, but he’s not going to win in the long run. If he DOES win AI, then we’ll see how he does compared to David Cook and Castro in sales. David A. is not as marketable and longstanding as the others. He’s going to be a one hit lip licking wonder,

The only reason nasty things are being said about David is because all of America knows he is going to win so you have to try to break the kid down somehow. Leave him alone, he is extremely talented!
