Will David Archuleta's Dad Bring Him Down?

David Archuleta by Frank Micelotta/Fox

Remember a couple weeks ago when the Idol contestants sang a song from their year of birth? And remember Simon's comment to little David A. about him being surprised if he chose the song himself? Rumors swirled that that comment was directed straight at David's father Jeff, and now sources are reporting that he could quite possibly be the stage-dad-from-hell. Even the Today show is reporting on the matter!

Watch the video now!

Your take: Do you believe the rumors that David was simply cracking under the pressure? What are your sentiments on stage-parents? Do you think they're too hard on their kids and their self-esteem, or do they have to be tough considering how hard it is to make it in the industry?
