American Idol semifinalist disqualified

The decision was made because Pacitti had once worked with a person subsequently hired by 19 Entertainment, which produces “American Idol” with FremantleMedia, said another person familiar with the disqualification. Pacitti also knew a second 19 Entertainment employee, the person said.

Felicia Barton of Virginia Beach, Va., replaced Pacitti, a Philadelphia native, in the top 36.

On the other hand, this is good news to every American Idol fan. The show is primarily about talent, but integrity is the most important thing these days even in the entertainment industry.

I commend the show producers for making this hard decision.  It is a firm lesson to everyone indeed.
