'Idol' Update: Joanna Pacitti Disqualified!
Joanna Pacitti became an "American Idol" frontrunner thanks to her stellar voice, but after receiving a round of "yeses" from the judges, it was announced that the 23-year-old isn't eligible to continue in the competition!
According to a FOX press release naming the 36 contestants still vying for the "Idol" title, Pacitti was disqualified -- and replaced with Felicia Barton -- who was cut from the show earlier this week. Joanna signed with A&M Records when she was 16, and has had her songs featured on film soundtracks such as "Legally Blonde" and "First Daughter."
Casey Carlson -- aka the other Bikini Girl -- has also made it to the top 36, despite forgetting the lyrics during her latest performance.
"American Idol" continues next Tuesday on FOX.
