Chris Golightly, former contestant on American Idol held a press conference today (February 23) protesting that he wants his spot back on the show. Golightly was one of the original 24 contestants, but was let go because he failed to disclose that he was under a singing contract at the time.
Chris started by pleading his case — he did in fact sign a recording contract on May 30, 2009, but he claims he was released from the contract a month later so therefore he should not have been disqualified from the show.
Chris handed out a copy of the document during the meeting.
Chris then decided to sing for the few in attendance. He sang “Man in the Mirror” by Michael Jackson.
What do you think? Is Chris entitled to a spot on American Idol or has that ship sailed?
