Joanna Pacitti, the girl who has had record deals but never enough momentum to be popular, has been kicked out of American Idol’s Top 36. She has been replaced by Felicia Barton.
LA Times reports:
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.
A source close to the show now tells us that Pacitti was disqualified to “avoid the appearance of impropriety.” (meaning they got caught planting her… the other plants haven’t been caught yet and stay on the show)
In the past week, tabloids had been reporting on a private relationship between Pacitti and executives of 19 Management – one of the companies which oversees Idol.
Who got to decide that Felicia was the person to take Joanna’s place? If you’ll remember from last night’s episode, Felicia was one of the girls who got an immediate no from the judges. She didn’t even get a sing-off! Something’s definitely fishy with all of this, but I guess all we can do is count our blessings that we don’t have to deal with Joanna anymore!
Now, do you think they’ll televise this change, or brush it over like nothing happened?

too bad Paciitti got booted from Idol; at least she got a ton of publicity out of staying on this long, hopefully she still makes it in the entertainment biz
