So how do you get banned from American Idol besides getting voted off? Seems if you cost the show enough money, they're gonna kick your ass out.
Jeff Archuleta, David Archuleta's father, has been a pain in the ass this entire season which has been well documented, but this time he was a bit too much of an idjit. For some reason he wanted David to add a few extra words to this week's song, "Stand by Me." Daddy Dearest was told that the lyrics couldn't be changed, but David ended up adding a line from Sean Kingston's song "Beautiful Girls" anyway and sang it on live TV. Obviously David is a helluva lot more scared of his dad than the producers of the show.
Changing the lyrics ended up costing AI a buttload of money. How much is a buttload of money? I'm not sure, but it was enough to get Daddy Archuleta banned from anything backstage, although he can still take a seat in the audience during the shows. Sucks to be 86'd.
It's a good thing the season is almost over or else this could get really ugly.
