Idol Chit Chat - Milwaukee

It’s getting down to the wire on American Idol. After a whirlwind week for the final three contestants, David Archuleta, David Cook and Syesha Mercado will be hitting the stage tonight (at 7 p.m. ONLY on FOX 6!) singing two songs each.

The Top Three Idols made hometown visits Friday. Click here for complete coverage from the MyFox Network of sites, including exclusive videos, photos and much more. Trust me, if you’re a fan of either of the Davids or Syesha, you will DEFINITELY want to check this out! 

Ladies first! Syesha went home to Sarasota, Florida and was welcomed by FOX 13 and hoards of adoring fans.  Check out everything MyFoxTampaBay has – including exclusive videos, photos and interviews. Click here for all things Syesha Mercado!

Let’s first address the Internet buzz about David Archuletta’s dad.  TMZ reports Jeff Archuleta was banned from backstage AI rehearsals. But he is still still in Los Angeles to support David (video: MyFoxUtah) through the rest of the season.

Dean Kaelin, Archuleta’s voice coach, says it’s all nonsense. “Jeff is still there. I talked to him yesterday. He was at the photo shoot with David all day.”
