Fake American Idols?

Filed under: American Idol > Busted!

Looks like the only thing "unknown" to certain American Idol contestants is how to read the rules of the game.

The February 9th issue of TV Guide Magazine reveals some of the more known "unknowns"!

- Joanna Pacitti, 24. Hired and fired as Broadway's Annie at 12, 2 record deals, sang on the Legally Blonde and Bratz soundtracks

- Brent Keith Smith, 29. Finalist on CMT's Nashville Star in 2004, got a record deal in 2005 and sung the title track for Dale, a 2007 movie about NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt

- David Osmond, 29. Donny Osmond's nephew. Played the lead in a tour of 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat', had record deals with the band Osmond 2ndG

- Michael Castro, 20. His older brother Jason made it to Idol's Top 4 last season

- Emily Wyne-Hughes, 21. Lead singer of Go Betty Go, a popular LA based punk band who had two hit singles before she joined the group

- Adam Lambert, 26. Performed in a national tour of Broadway hit Wicked

To be fair, that probably doesn't make much of a difference to Idol's audience, but they've certainly got a leg up on the rest of the competition!

      when people fakesmile like this, it's the Brady Bunch-Baywatch-pillpoppin,snorting and drinking all round.



    16. 16

      All the reason to hate this show



    17. 17

      I don't understand what Michael Castro is doing on that list. Yeah, Jason was on last season but i didn't even know Michael existed until i saw his audition. So, how is he more experienced than the others?



    18. 18

      Re: SheriMoonFireFly – Thanks…i was the lead in that….

      Re: MRS. JOSH HOLLOWAY
      No, you are not the only one . I've never seen "American Idle" also .
      Oops, I mean "American Idol" :-)



    21. 21

      Also, I understand that Ann Marie Boskovich(sp) was the "Part Of Your World" singer on the closing credits of a Disney Movie; maybe Little Princess 2???



    22. 22

      Castro's brother does not make it to top 36



    23. 23

      The show sucks regardless.



    24. 24

      almost everyone who makes it to this point in the season has had some sort of experience, or previous record deal. IT'S PART OF THE BUSINESS. you try, you fail. you try again, you fail again. and so on and so on, until you get to the point where you wanna be. they are still trying to make it big, and follow their dreams. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.



    25. 25

      aspiring singers entered a singing competition? SHOCKER~

      Re: reblandroid – I was just thinking the exact same thing.



    28. 28

      Does anyone else think Simopn hits that Paula from time to time? He could do a lot worse she is funny and seems nice?



    29. 29

      I don't think it really matters what opportunities these kids have had in the past - None of them are known to 99% of America. They should be applauded for pursing their dream instead of being quitters. Those with the opportunities before have never been on PEREZ before so they are no names as far as I am concerned….



    30. 30

      See this is why I don't like this show anymore why are they giving failed singers another chance when no one like them in the first place. I mean wasn't this song suppose to be about giving unknown singers a chance. This show has gone down hill since Carrie Underwood's season. and man the New Idol Judge SUCKS she really needs to go somehwere/



    31. 31

      MICHAEL CASTRO DOESN'T BELONG ON YOUR LIST, DUH!



    32. 32

      I have Joanna Pacitti's single "Watch Me Shine" on my iPod! What's up with these people who had their chance, and didn't make it?



    33. 33

      Why did you list Michael Castro. He is a total amature unlike the others mentioned. That is just stupid to lump him in that category. Think before you post Perez.



    34. 34

      American who? I don't even remember the fuckers that won!



    35. 35

      as long as they're not currently under any other recording contract, they're not breaking any rules. if these people have tried and failed before, thats fine, but they'll also find that they still won't go over well with the voters (cases in point: michael johns, carly smithson, and kristy lee cook).



    36. 36

      The RealOrchidGirl & Mistress*****I can only speak for myself but I think other posters will feel me on this….you two are on EVERY post fighting back & forth like children…can't you exchange e-mails and do it amongst yourselves??? People come on here to blog about the issue posted about and your immature, stupid arguements are distracting and un nesessary…please grow up & STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    37. 37

      i thought it was against the rules to have a previous recording contract to be on the show??

    38. MP says – reply to this


      38

      Judging from that info I don't have a problem with Jason Castro's brother. You didn't say he had a record deal. He should have the same opportunity his brother had to see how far he can make it.



    39. 39

      The rule is they can't have a CURRENT contract…so as long as they aren't in a current record deal, then it's free game…I think it sucks though.



    40. 40

      ZZZZZ….VFTW HAS HAD THIS FOR AGES…WAY TO BE "CURRENT".
      THEY DID THE SAME THING LAST YEAR WITH CARLY SMITHSON(HENNESSEY), SHE WORKED WITH RANDY"YOU GO DAWG" JACKSON!



    41. 41

      So what none of us have heard of them and they haven't reach any type pf major success. How ahead are they exactly? The only objection I have is Donny Osmonds nephew.



    42. 42

      Ahh!
      Joanna Pacitti sings the original 'Out From Under'.
      I'm so glad she's on american idol:]



    43. 43

      Re: DaniDaniDaniG – She also sings Britney's "Out From Under', but she sang it first.



    44. 44

      perez seriously you don't know that failed singers no longer on contract are eligible for AI? i find that hard to believe. Kelly Clarkson was also a failed singer who'd had a recording contract before she was a contestant. it's common knowledge.



    45. 45

      HA! Pacitti is the only one who really bothered me. I think it's pretty shit for her to be allowed on Idol. She already f'd up, why is she getting ANOTHER shot? Her music is boring. And Michael Castro sucked.

      Should they really be allowing people who have HAD RECORD DEALS in the past..? It hardly seems fair.



    46. 46

      Joanna Pacitti also guest starred on "What I Like About You" (starring Jenny Garth and Amanda Bynes) and sang a song on it ("Ultraviolet"). I was watching the episode of American Idol where she appeared (the only one I've ever seen, may I add) and I saw her and I was like "I KNOW HER!" …hahah stupid show….



    47. 47

      Kristen McNamara competed on Nashville Star, season four, she came in sixth.



    48. 48

      So they really upgraded the quality of their contestants… last shows had kids with criminal records… the only real Idol… Kelly Clarkson!



    49. 49

      They have no choice because the ones who are not already professionals all suck. This show is such bullshit.



    50. 50

      who gives a shit. people try and fail to make it in showbiz all the time. after they fail they try again with reality tv. its pretty normal.



    51. 51

      ADAM LAMBERT IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
