American Idol Contestant Disqualified

YouTube Preview ImageAfter getting the green light to compete in the top 36 of American Idol Season 8, contestant Joanna Pacitti, has been sent packing this morning. The 23-year-old singer has been disqualified because of her previous professional experience. A big no-no.

“It has been determined that Joanna Pacitti is ineligible to continue in the competition. American Idol contestant Felicia Barton has replaced Ms. Pacitti as part of the top 36,” reads an editor’s note in a Fox press release from early this morning.

I really think the producers do this stuff on purpose. Joanna Pacitti’s music video is on YouTube for heaven’s sake. A monkey could find this stuff out.

      I missed this somehow.
      What’s the difference between her experience and last season’s Carly Smithson?
