If a contestant on American Idol has been on a different reality show and won still be on the Show?

In 2006, she won $50,000 and a recording contract after competing in a Telemundo reality show, Quinceanera

Fox knew this. Its been out since Hollywood week. Apparently the recording contract is not current or she would have been disqualified. Contestant Brent Keith was on Nashville Star. Joanna Pacciti had a multimillion dollar record contract as did Carly Smithson and Michael Johns. The only thing you cant have is a current contract.

even as Jennifer Hudson changed into on she not in any respect ought to were voted off. i changed into hoping that she ought to pass on to a effectual occupation and she did. Thank-God. the different maximum bitter disapointment for me changed into Melinda Doolittle she changed into ROBBED of even making it into the basically suitable 2. i'm so ill of the perfect singers going domicile. So i determined now to not be a huge fan of the teach anymore. Even this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days's winner upset me, the different David must have gained. Melinda changed into maximum proficient she must have a worthwhile record deal as far as i'm in contact. i will't stand Jordin or her stupid music No Air. FYI: for the different answerer that stated Latoya she got here out with a cd and it flopped.

I think it is very unfair but then again look at Adam . He is almost a professional entertainer now. So I dont know what to say. I don't think Allison will win anyway. I personally don't like her voice or her look.

Wow, that's bull!
If they booted Joanna Paciti for certain reasons, why not boot this girl? She already had a shot. Completely unfair!
