David Archuleta, the American Idol runner-up, spoke with the ladies of The View about his life after the show. He says he’s been too busy with music to pursue a romantic relationship; the only rumors that persist are those about his cloying father, Jeff, who was banned from the American Idol backstage area for assuming too much control over the show.

Archuleta cites Eva Cassidy as one of his greatest musical influences; he also performed “Stand By Me” on the show.

He will join winner David Cook and the other 8 finalists on the American Idols Live tour, which begins on July 1.
