So Chris Golightly was in and now he is out of the top 24 of American Idol. He has the talent, but he also had a contract with a boy band. The twist is that the contract he had (yes had) expired in June of 2009 prior to his audition in July, so what's the problem? For some reason Fox producers needed to see the release from his contract and Chris could not provide right away, but was able to get the proof at the last minute and he is still out. And because he was in the top 46 he cannot try out for next season.
This is horrible. Why did he have to be replaced so quickly and what would be so wrong with having a top 25 because the Fox producers made a mistake? Chris was really banking on this opportunity with Idol - he gave up his apartment lease, sold his car to cover the remaining lease fees and found out hours before Wednesday's show aired he was going to be disqualified. Heartbreaking to say the least. I really hope American Idol steps up on this and does something to help Chris out. Read more - just click here.
