4. GOOD! Finally! She should never have been allowed to be on the show anyways. She already HAD a record contract and was a professional singer. That wasnt fair to everyone else on the show that isnt a professional (yet).

5. Poor baby. She'll probably sue again like she did when she was let go from the play Annie.

6. How bout fixing the time stamp on your posts? My RSS feeds are coming in correctly...but everytime I come to the site I'm staring at Big Mama's pregnant belly as the first story.

7. Is this the idiot who kept forgetting her lyrics and still got through. Here's the thing, if you've already had a record deal and still can't remember the lyrics to your song, you don't deserve this shot.

8. "It Has Been Determined That Joanna Pacitti Is Ineligible To Continue In The Competition"

American Idol has ruled Jo-Pac can't be in the Top 36. Wow I can't believe it.

So what made her ineligible?
Was it because she had close ties to American Idol/19 Entertainment?

Here's a hypothectical "what if" for you.

What if it was determined that out of this years Top 36 contestants...or last years Top 24 that...
#1. one singer played bass guitar on Paula Abdul's "Under My Spell" tour or
#2. one singer was a sound engineer on a Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken and Diana Degarmo cd or
#3. one singer was a back-up singer on American Idol during Hollywood week or
#4 one singer played keyboards on two cd's with Randy Jackson or
#5 one singer had written a song for Bo Bice and his co writer was Kara DioGuardi (in 2005) or
#6 one singer played keyboards on a cd with A.I. band leader Rickey Minor or
#7 one singer was a back-up singer on the new Clay Aiken cd or
#8 one singer had written a song on the new Clay Aiken cd or
#9 one singer was on a cd with 2008's winner, and 2007's American Idol third place finalist or
#10 one singer was a co-writer and personal friend with last years winner?

What if?

Here's another "what if" for you.
What if American Idol charged everyone $10.00 to audition?

Now "what if" it were all true?

Well, if you were "what if'in" the 2007 & 2008 American Idol Songwriter Contest it...just...might...be.

Which produced such gems as "This Is My Now" and the ever popular "The Time Of My Life".

9. Hey #5. WHAT IF... You get a life and worry about something more than American Idol. You must make your parents very proud.

10. How can she be disqualified? Didn't Carly work with Randy Jackson before and she stayed on the show last season. I thought 19 Entertainment didn't get involved until after an Idol is named so what is the big deal here? It appears from what I've seen so far she was upfront with everyone about her previous experience. Even though she forgot her lyrics, she had the strongest voice amongst the girls. If I recall, Carrie Underwood forgot her lyrics too. Maybe Simon can get her that break that she needs. Come on Simon and do your thing. This girl is very talented and deserves a legitimate shot. I was really looking forward to seeing her compete. Bring her back

11. Ummmm....is this the hot bikini wearing one? If not, who really cares? Other than basement boy # 5. Natch.

12. it's not fair....she already slept with so many guys at 19

13. The difference between Carlyplant and JoPlanta was that Randy is "only" a judge on AI. Carlyplant had no relations with 19E staff. JoPlanta HAD very close relations with 19E's brass during AND before she was on "Idol". This call did not come from 19E, it came from FOX. FOX were the ones that wanted her gone.

14. Considering AI bends its rules every year, why pick on her?

15. as soon as kara dioguardi recognized her from the first day, she should have been disqualified. joanna pacitti had her chance and for whatever reason she wasn't getting the praise as a singer before. so, even if she ever stood a chance at winning american idol, she wouldn't have had a WOW factor. although she does have a good voice, its not particularly original. and she also doesn't look like she'd show a little more skin in order to create a fan base. i guess she will never go back to broadway because of the stab to the back the people who worked on Annie. if her main goal is to make money, she can try and continue to make a name for herself. but, if she just wants to sing, she should go back to broadway.
