We were as shocked as everyone else last night when we fast forwarded to David’s performance, only to be let down.

He forgot the lyrics, he didn’t seem confident, and he was off, but why?

Spy sources from inside American Idol told us and Entertainment Tonight, that is was all due to his father’s need for him to be perfect.

JEFF ARCHULETA, who reportedly yelled at David during a recording session Monday. Sources say dad wasn’t happy with his son’s singing — and even brought him to tears. Reps for “American Idol” had no comment on the alleged incident.-ET

Jeff Archuleta’s should tune into Entertainment Tonight to see the full story, and us!

Otherwise he could become the cause of David’s downfall, just like he was five years ago on Star Search.

UPDATE: DAVID ARCHULETA’S FATHER JEFF, HAS NOW BEEN BANNED FROM THE AMERICAN IDOL SET FOR THE SAME REASONS! HE DENIED STAGE DAD CLAIMS BEFORE BUT WE ALWAYS KNEW AND REPORTED THE TRUTH

David may seem like an innocent sweet songstress from Heaven, but our inside source says he has a calculating, overbearing, stage dad from HELL! We still endorse him wholeheartedly but, we wanted to share a story from our inside Star Search source, when he won round 1 at the age of 12. According to our reliable source his father was BANNED from the set:

David’s father Jeff Archuleta, was really creepy and overbearing. He pushed all his kids to the side and would only focus on David and his career. When it was down to the final contestants for Star Search was when he really started losing it. Jeff couldn’t bear to see David lose, so he started HARASSING the other contestants.

He cornered David’s biggest competition, Tiffany Evans, in the green room and intimidated her, telling her she’d lose to David. No one knew about it because Tiffany didn’t tell anyone at that time. It wasn’t until later that night, when Jeff Archuleta started calling all night and harassing her in her room that Tiffany and her parents told producers. It became so intense that the producers of Star Search had a meeting and BANNED him from the lot. The only performance that he was allowed to attend was the finale. (He was sat near security)…. David lost in the end to Tiffany Evans and she got the title!

Here’s Tiffany Evans the little girl who survived the attacks of Jeff Archuleta, and went on to win the Grand Champion title.

Luckily, David Archuleta is the next American Idol so we probably won’t see a repeat, and Jeff learned his lesson.

David went on to sing “Imagine” (yes, the same arrangement he sang on Idol) on a local morning program, but was never signed with a record deal.

Oh, how times change.

Our predictions:

David Hernandez will make it far enough to become gay-mous for a while in West Hollywood.

Jason Castro won’t win, but will go on to do a duet with Jack Johnson.

Michael Johns’s rocker voice will turn him into this year’s Daughtry.

All the girls will continue not standing out.

And David Archuleta, the boy who could, will win. His “Imagine” video is already the #2 most watched video on Google!

Want to see American Idol hopeful, Danny Noriega, turn it up for the cameras and fag out?

Luckily, there’s Myspace TV where AI contestants turn into Chris Crocker’s locked in their bedrooms.

We reported this story a week ago and now the Associated Press wants to claim it as their own.

Don’t be surprised if you see it on your local news.

So David Hernandez is a stripper, so what? Kick him off the show. Who cares!? David Archuleta already won.

David Archuleta won Star Search at the age of 12 and raked in a cool $100,000 bucks. This clip from Star Search proves two things.

1 – He’s way better now, and deserves to win American Idol, just from his progress alone.

2 – He’s gay, because that hand is FLYING through the entire song.

He’s our American Idol already!
