They also announced what he will be singing - Paula’s choice - “and so it goes” by Billy Joel.

TMZ has learned David Archuleta’s dad, Jeff, has been officially banned from “American Idol.”

Here’s how it went down. “Idol” sources tell TMZ Jeff has been a complete pain in the ass, interfering with the entire production. He has badgered producers, the band, vocal coaches and even other contestants. The final straw came this week, when Jeff wanted to change the lyrics to David’s first song, “Stand By Me.” Jeff insisted on adding a verse from Sean Kingston’s hit, “Beautiful Girls.” Producers sent him an e-mail telling him the lyrics could not be changed. They were beyond pissed when David sang the song with Kingston’s lyrics during the live show.

We’re told by changing the lyrics, it created problems with the song’s publisher and cost “A.I.” a lot of money.

Jeff was ordered to sit with “A.I.” lawyers on Wednesday, who told him he was “banned from being in the rooms where David was learning or rehearsing his songs.” It’s “Idol’s” position, since David is 17, he does not need a guardian — just a teacher. Jeff will be allowed to sit in the audience during the live show but he’s 86′d from anything backstage.

If this is true, then it’s just that Jeff Archuleta is banned inside the rehearsal room. It’s not a big deal. At least, he can still watch David from the audience.

David Archuleta - Love Me Tender (Studio Version)

Love me tender,
Love me sweet,
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
And I love you so.

Love me tender,
Love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin I love you,
And I always will.

Love me tender,
Love me long,
Take me to your heart.
For its there that I belong,
And we’ll never part.

Love me tender,
Love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin I love you,
And I always will.

Love me tender,
Love me dear,
Tell me you are mine.
I’ll be yours through all the years,
Till the end of time.

Love me tender,
Love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin I love you,
And I always will.

I am sure it is now a David Cook- David Archuleta top 2 finalist. Though I feel that David Cook should win, it will be David Archuleta who will be the winner. He has such a huge fan base.

David A.’s fan base is nothing if not loyal. And passionate. And vocal. He’s just 17, they say. He’s a beacon of light in the dark, cynical, negative world that is the recording industry today, they say. He’s cheerful and he smiles, they say. He’s humble. He’s shy. He works hard, his fans insist — though Lennon/McCartney fans may take issue with that last one. There was that night he booted the lyrics to We Can Work It Out, remember — but, of course, that only counts now for Idol fans with long memories. (He was nervous, he later admitted.)

No, make no mistake. This is David A.’s Idol to lose. And anyone who knows anything about the culture today knows that, when it comes to pop-music/movies/or-TV, what the tweeners want, the tweeners get.

We live in the world, kids, and the world is thus.

Jason Castro is so hilarious! He made his leaving less painful for Jason Castro Fans like me.

He easily had the best personality of everyone this season. Loved the, “Someone said I shot the tambourine man” quote! Even Simon laughed at that.
