David Archuleta



After his performance of "We Can Work It Out," which judge Simon Cowell called "a mess," Entertainment Tonight reported that Archuleta was feeling pressure from his father, Jeff Archuleta, who "reportedly yelled at" his son after a recording session the previous night.[28] Jeff Archuleta, in an interview with Us Magazine, denied the claim.[29] A May 2008 Associated Press article reported that Jeff Archuleta had his son add a lyric from the Sean Kingston song "Beautiful Girls" into a rendition of "Stand by Me" (from which "Beautiful Girls" samples its bass line), increasing the costs for licensing, and that this had resulted in Jeff Archuleta being banned from American Idol backstage rehearsals.[30]

Archuleta later defended his father on CBS's The Early Show, stating: "[My father is] a great guy. And I really appreciate his support and all my family's support. You know, he's given great advice, but he's let me do my own thing. And it's been great to have him there, just reminding me to keep grounded and remember what's important." [31]

Post-Idol Career

The three songs Archuleta performed in the American Idol finale, "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", "In This Moment", and "Imagine", became top-10 downloads on iTunes. All three of the afore mentioned songs also debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 chart the week of June 7, 2008. "Imagine" entered at #36 (giving Archuleta his first top forty hit), "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" debuted at #58, and "In This Moment" entered at #60. That same week Archuleta also placed three songs on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart, where his versions of "Longer", "Think of Me", and "Angels" debuted at #15, #19, and #24 respectively.[32]

On June 5, 2008, Jive Records announced that David signed a recording contract with the label and that his debut album will be released later this year, after the "American Idols live tour". [33]
