Have you noticed the weird “Beautiful Girl” lyric insert during David Archuleta’s rendition of “Stand By Me” this week? If you haven’t, watch the video below and wait for 1:14.
Apparently, it was his dad, Jeff Archuleta’s, idea to include that lyric from Sean Kingston’s “Beautiful Girls” song. The Archuleta’s were already warned about it but David still sang the verse during his performance. Thus the American Idols producers were fined for the alteration. This served as the straw that broke the camel’s back and prompted the Idol producers to finally act and strip Jeff Archuleta of his backstage pass. This is not the only time that news broke out of Jeff Archuleta’s stage-dad antics. There were previous reports of Jeff Archuleta screaming at David which supposedly caused David to be all nerves during his performance.
Just about time, I should say. Wish him best of luck for next week’s performance. I just hope David Archuleta will not be penalized for his father’s actions. Also I sincerely wish that he will still continue to bring forth an awesome performance that will solidify his chances for the Finals. I will stick to my David vs David Finals prediction despite Syesha’s strong vocals this past week.
