Felicia Barton Replaces Joanna Pacitti in Top 36
Well there goes another hot girl
On Wednesday’s episode of American Idol, Paula Abdul — and the rest of the judges — told tearful contestant Joanna Pacitti (pictured left) that she deserved another chance at stardom, sending her to the next round of the competition. But by Thursday morning, Joanna had been disqualified and replaced by Felicia Barton.
“It has been determined that Joanna Pacitti is ineligible to continue in the competition,” FOX said in a statement released Wednesday night. “American Idol contestant Felicia Barton has replaced Ms. Pacitti as part of the Top 36.”
Idol Internet sites have been buzzing about Joanna’s eligibility since she auditioned in Louisville, Ky. The singer has had previous record deals, including one with A&M Records, which released the single “Let It Slide,” and with Geffen, which released a full album entitled This Crazy Life. There has also been chatter online about her forgetting the lyrics during Hollywood week (a no-no, according to Simon Cowell) and a private relationship with executives of 19 Management, one of the companies that oversees the show.
Felicia, 26, who also auditioned in Kentucky, lives in Virgina Beach with her husband and her son.
