David Archuleta has signed with Azoff Management, the career-launching (and often sustaining) music powerhouse that counts The Eagles, Christina Aguilera, Neil Diamond, and, most recently, Morrissey among its clients. But that doesn't mean young Archie, last season's American Idol runner-up, will forgo his dad's guidance from here on out. The reportedly difficult Jeff Archuleta will co-manage his son's music career along with Azoff's Jared Paul, who steers the pop ship for artists like Nick Lachey and New Kids on the Block.

19 Entertainment gets first dibs on Idol finalists for management, but the company apparently passed on Archuleta, while signing winner David Cook (a 19 representative declined to comment). Still, Archuleta remains on the 19 Recordings roster, and the company is intimately involved in overseeing his first album, which is due out Nov. 11. David Cook's debut will drop a week later.

this Azoff company >>>>>>>>>>>>> 19 Management

go David :woohoo: BREAK AWAY FROM THAT CRAPPY AI!!!

Ewwww, I seriously hope 19 doesn't entirely screw up David Cook. They seemed like they were pushing for his win on AI so they better take care of him. :|

On the other hand, good for Archie. :D
