David Archuleta forgot a few of his lyrics on American Idol last night, when he sang the Beatles’ We Can Work It Out.

David Archuleta had a sob story about a paralyzed vocal cord, and he flew through the American Idol audition with flying colors, but some of his story might just be fake. Reports say David has been a pro for years. TMZ tracked down one of his earlier performances from the"Jenny Jones" show. He performed an incredible version of "And I Am Telling You …" Was it better than Jennifer Hudson, you be the judge.

"Jones" wasn’t his only pre-"Idol" TV appearance and he may have even had a record deal. FOX says that contestants cannot currently have a management or recording contract.

On a side note, Paul Adbul looked like she was on drugs or alcohol again. Get some help Paula, I’m embarrassed watching you make a fool of yourself.
