There is a good chance that devil child's outward appearance is a facade and that the kid is really pretty miserable. Evil stage daddy is probably a domineering fuckhead who beat baby Davy and deprived him of a normal childhood, by making him sing the talent show circuit... motivated by hopes of fame and fortune. Call it the Joseph Jackson school of vicarious parenting. He's probably not too thrilled that he has a a little princess waiting to blossom into a full grown queen either...

You're right, it's probably exaggerated to the core in Archtard's delusional mind. Reality: Archtard: I'm full. Dad, may I be excused? Daddy Archuleta: No. We talked about this, David. Eat your broccoli so you can grow up to be big and strong! Archtard: I HATE YOU. YOU DON'T GET ME AT ALL. Storms off and cries

I just think it's retarded that people feel sorry for David like he's some kind of little helpless sheep. He's not little kid anymore, maybe if his dad acted like that when he was on Star Search I would have had some sympathy. However I have no sympathy for a kid who is going to turn 18 later this year. On a sidenote, his dad is really dumb if he's acting like this when David is going to turn 18 later this year. As soon as he hits 18 Daddy is entitled to fuck all and won't get shit if Archuleta does end up with a decent career after this if he continues treating him in this manner. If you're going to be a stage parent to a kid who's almost legal you better do it right and obviously Archuleta's dad sucks at it.

He always has some excuse or response to something, knows what to say, and when to say it. If anything, his stage parents told him to flop the lyrics on purpose so he could reveal this fake "sob story" for votes.

Like I said though, he's fucking 17 years old, not 7. What's his dad going to do if he dares tell him off? Hit him on the American Idol set, I fucking doubt it. He seems very repressed, and after all the years his father has run his career, he probably can't just summon up the nerve to tell his father off. I don't know anything about any of these people and I don't care all that much but some of these stage parents can be hell for their kids, I feel sorry for any kids who have to deal with them. It's probably not as easy as hitting the road when someone is 18, not if the parent has a strong emotional hold. He always has some excuse or response to something, knows what to say, and when to say it. I know a lot of people thought he would come up with excuses once the judges criticized him, but from what I remember, he hasn't said much of anything (while other contestants dismiss the judges, or Ryan tries to excuse a performance because of illness, etc.)

If his dad really is that bad, it's probably something that has been going on for a long time (the kid's been performing for forever). And, if it happened in front of other contestants, it's probably really fucking embarrassing. As much as the other contestants don't seem bitter (from interviews and such), I'd be pissed that he's practically been ordained the winner. Also, isn't he the youngest one there now? The last thing I'd want to do is fight with my dad in front of all these people.

He turns 18 in December, right around the time he will start raking in the big bucks. If Archuleta Sr. wants a piece of the pie, he better get his shit together. Sometimes parents and kids fight. Just like husbands and wives fight. And athletes and teammates and coaches. In high pressure situations, where adrenaline and nerves are running high, these things happen. The whole incident was probably forgotten an hour later.

The writers explain that there were rumors that Jeff had allegedly harassed a girl named TIFFANY who was David's competition in the contest.

David's obviously a wuss who is unable to stand up to his old man. I think it is different for every individual though. I know some people who tell their moms and dads to fuck off when they yell at them and they have in the end control over the fights. Then I know other kids who have been emotionally manipulated and abused and cannot stand on their own two feet. I'll compare it to domestic abuse. Some women never get the courage to leave their abusive husband and some do. Some say they will never get into that sort of situation in the first place. Human nature is individual and unqiue to each who experiences it. Everyone's conditioning and personality traits are different and life experiences too (culture, background etc) so we will all have a differying way of dealing with a stage nightmare father. If this is true, he's going to have major issues when he grows up.

I can honestly say most parent weren't the "Thats OK, you tried your best, you'll do better next time," type. They were more like, "So help me, if you miss that note/dance step one more time, you're gonna be grounded until you get it right!" or "What a waste of lessons... why do I even bother?" Yes, I even witnessed physical violence on a few occasions. It's sad. Even if you don't feel sorry for demon child, the whole kiddie pageant/talent show circuit is disgusting and many of the parents behave more like children than their kids do.
