Written under: Entertainment, Music
American Idol 2010 Top 24 Chris Golightly from the Los Angeles auditions has been disqualified from the contest and is being replaced by Tim Urban.
According to a statement from FOX, “It has been determined that Chris Golightly is ineligible to continue in the competition”. Now speculations are floating why Golightly was disqualified.
However, the most acceptable reason for the disqualification is Golightly’s existing old contract with a boy band that expired in June 2009 – to which he could not produce release papers for to prove its expiration.
Unfortunately, the old manager was able to email the contract release but Idol execs have already made their decision. Now, Chris Golightly has to wait for two years to be able to try again for American Idol because he made it to the top 46 this year.
