David Archuleta's Sob Story

This melts our cold heart just a teensy weensy bit: David Archuleta, the boy wonder who has all but been crowned the winner of American Idol, is suffering from a case of Dina Lohan: He has a stage dad.

The singer may be feeling the pressure from his ’stage father’ 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.

Rumor also has it that Jeff was banned from the set of Star Search when David, at the ripe age of 12, competed on the show. Supposedly Jeff harassed a girl who was competing against precious David.

Our heart goes out to the kid, but we totally called this. We’re torn: Do we resent him for the mess his parents have made of his life or do we use that as an excuse to cheer him on?

… We’re sticking with the dreads.
