David Archuleta wasn’t able to attend his junior prom and it looks like he won’t be able to attend his senior prom too as the American Idol runner up has withdrawn from Murray High. Little D withdrew from his school during his run on the show but school officials have revealed that he hasn’t re-signed for his senior year which starts on August 25. It’s going to be tough for him to go to school anyway as he has to be on the road on the AI tour until September. It’s also being said that he’s going to be home schooled so he can work on his new album without having to worry too much about academic deadlines.

The American Idol stage is already hot with the vocal battle between David Archuleta and David Cook and it’s about to get even hotter. The Jonas Brothers are confirmed to be performing their hit song ‘SOS’ on the season 7 finale of the talent show this week. If anything, the band of brothers is going to cool down the stage as people anticipate who gets crowned as this year’s American Idol on Wednesday. If you ask me, the anticipation of finding out who will win is damn near killing me. Either David has been considered a shoe-in at the finale and here they are. Aaaah!

We’re down to 3 American Idol contestants with their 3 songs. This week was all about choices – judges’ choice, contestants’ choice and producers’ choice. Paula Abdul chose for David Archuleta to sing Billy Joel’s ‘And So It Goes’ while he chose to sing Chris Brown’s ‘With You’ and the producers chose Dan Fogelberg’s ‘Longer’. Randy Jackson chose for Syesha Mercado to sing Alicia Keys’ ‘If I Ain’t Got You’ while she chose Peggy Lee’s ‘Fever’ and the producers picked Gia Farrel’s ‘Hit Me Up’. Simon Cowell chose for David Cook to sing Roberta Flack’s ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’ while he chose Switchfoot’s ‘Dare You to Move’ and the producers picked Aerosmith’s ‘I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing’. I just want to say, Bye Syesha!

American Idol contestant David Archuleta’s dad has been banned backstage or anywhere near where the other Idols are due to his overbearing personality. Now, Archuleta’s team is trying to cover his sorry butt. Unlike the kid’s voice however, it rings a little hollow. People talked to David’s voice coach and a guy from Utah who has been working with David on arrangements for the past 3 years. How many people does this kid need? The voice coach says that the ban is “more of a fairness issue than anything else.” The arranger gives a more ominous so-called defense in “”[Jeff's] involved. He’s intense. … Sometimes people don’t like that.” Go figure.

David Archuleta could probably cut the cheese and the American Idol judges would still give him a standing ovation. The youngest of the Idol contestants this year was pretty good on Tuesday but really, it was as if the judges were on auto-pilot to drool over him regardless of what he sang. They didn’t do this for Kelly Clarkson, and no offense, but David eats her dust. Idol has their paws on the recording contracts of the winners so it’s now a question on whether this is about talent or if David is more commercial and has a longer shelf life as compared to the others.

David Archuleta screwed up the lyrics to his chosen Beatles song during American Idol’s performance night on Tuesday and we may have found out the reason why. The Idol fave appears to have a stage dad much like Joe Simpson. According to ET, David was off his game on Tuesday because his dad Jeff apparently pitched a huge fit at a Monday recording session. Sources claim that Jeff yelled at David during the session because he wasn’t happy with his son’s singing – and it brought David to tears. Meanie! Don’t mess with David. You’re the one who’s screwing him up!

16-year old American Idol contestant David Archuleta said that the doubted his talent, but feel free to join me in calling his bluff. The kid has been a pro for years. He actually performed on the Jenny Jones show in his even younger years. Jennifer Hudson can eat her heart out because the kid belted out an impressive version of ‘And I Am Telling You’. And that’s not all, there’s even a chance that he may have had a record deal some time in his young life. But for the record, FOX says that contestants cannot currently have a management or recording contract so past contracts don’t really count.
