An "American Idol" contestant who was among the show's top 36 was disqualified.But how is that possible !! Well it seems Joanna Pacitti was "ineligible to continue." in American Idol season 8.No reason was given by Fox TV when they announced. But a person familiar with the decision said Thursday that Pacitti was dropped to avoid any appearance of business impropriety. Felicia Barton of Virginia Beach, Va., replaced Pacitti, a Philadelphia native, in the top 36. The show announced the semifinalists Wednesday night, then later released an update saying it had cut Pacitti loose and subbed in Barton, a 26-year-old married mom. Pacitti has not commented yet. Pacitti, who auditioned in Louisville, Ky., entered "Idol" with a show-biz resume. She had a record deal with Geffen and released an album in 2006. Billboard reports it sold more than 16,000 copies. "American Idol" judge Kara DioGuardi recognized Pacitti when she auditioned in Louisville, Ky. She also starred in "Annie" on Broadway as a young girl, and sang on the soundtracks for the movies "Legally Blonde" and "Bratz." Britney Spears' tune "Out From Under," from her latest album, was first performed by Pacitti on the "Bratz" soundtrack.
Well why does this happen. Y do they even take someone like that and then ditch them later. God knows.
