*updated
by the way Joana Pacitti, originally a top 36 Semi Finalist was replaced by Felicia Barton. Based on Fox's official statement "Pacitti was determined to be ineligible to continue in the competition". But there were some rumors about her having close relationship with the producers in fact Star Magazine Reported that Pacitti lived for a time in the same apartment building as 19's Michelle Young and Roger Widynowski, even referring to the former exec as her "best friend"; 19, of course, is the production company behind Idol. Well honestly I dont care that much cos I never was a fan of hers in the first place hehehe.
