Joanna Pacitti Kicked Off American Idol

Although 'American Idol' hopeful Joanna Pacitti was chosen to advance in Wednesday night's competition, FOX released a statement Thursday saying she is "ineligible to continue" and will be replaced with 26-year-old Felicia Barton, Entertainment Weekly reports.
For several weeks, Pacitti's eligibility came into question, after it was revealed that she had a former record deal with A&M Records and 19 Entertainment, which is the production company behind 'Idol.'
Although Barton was seen being booted on Wednesday night's competition, she's getting a second chance and replacing Pacitti. Fox's officials have not specified why Pacitti has been disqualified, but insiders say her previous music career has deemed her ineligible.
