David Archuleta Charity Concert Called Off
I have never auditioned for American Idol and I’ve certainly never been on the show, but even I know that contestant affiliation with Idol never, really, ends. And in that first year or so after you leave the show, you can’t do anything with Idol’s say-so. David Archuleta, and his father, are learning that lesson in a very public way.
Jeff Archuleta, manager to son David Archuleta, planned a large charity benefit concert for the young crooner. Scheduled to take place this weekend, the concert has been completely called off. It seems Jeff failed to get permission from Idol before planning the event. Uh-oh.
The Idol summer tour is scheduled to begin in a few short weeks - nothing may conflict with this. “When all the minds met, everyone concluded this wouldn’t work out for this particular weekend.” This was the statement given by Jeff Archuleta to the Salt Lake City Tribune.

This is ridiculous… American Idol basically owns the top so many contestants because of that stupid agreement that they have to sign. That is why the one guy quit earlier in the show, so that he did not have to worry about this contractual nonsense. I say let them do what they want, and that American Idol needs to back off a little!
