Chris Golightly, American Idol Top 24 Disqualified
American Idol contestant Chris Golightly won’t be moving about the finals from the reality show after all. Golightly was allegedly disqualified on the American Idol Top 24 over a contract issue.
“It has been determined that Chris Golightly is ineligible to stay inside the competition,” Fox said in an announcement. “American Idol contestant Tim Urban has replaced Golightly as part with the Top 24.”
Golightly reportedly had a legal contract having a boy band that he claims expired last year, based on JoesPlaceBlog.com. His previous manager allegedly believed he was still under that contract. Unfortunately for Golightly, the contract release didn’t turn up to after he’d been kicked out of the American Idol Top 24.
Interestingly, it was not Chris Golightly who was the topic of disqualification buzz earlier this month. American Idol hopeful Michael Lynche was the talk with the tabloids earlier inside the month over rumors he was eliminated on the Top 24. Supposedly, Lynche was disqualified because his father leaked the news he had made the top 24 on American Idol for the press.
Considering how much face time Michael Lynche got this week on the program, it appears like those rumors was simply smoke and mirrors. Nothing is certain, however, before American Idol Top 24 actually take to the stage before a live audience to duke it out inside the finals.
