Joanna Pacitti. Remember the name.
This former member of the Geffen Records team is one of the rumored contestants to have made it through to Hollywood on season eight of American Idol.
Here's a bit of background information on this potential finalist:

- Her debut album "This Crazy Life," was released on August 15 of that year;

Maybe??? maybe not???/ her voice is great ,she is pretty and deal or no deal (NOT THE SHOW LOL) she evidently wants it bad or she wouldnt be there. I believe everyone needs several chances at what they dream of. I lookes and almost everything she has and it seems like a lot are duplicated on a lot of sites So I hope she does ok and there are probably gonna be a lot of people that had things before and some none so may the best win Also I believe in life everything in our lives has been planned out before we are born. Good luck to all the contestants season 8 I CANT WAIT

She has been failing for 12 years. Needs to find a new line of work

Failure---Must be a reason why,not like she hasn't had a number of chances. Even if she makes the show don't think she will last for long and then it will be one more strike out for someone who probably should look for another line of work or else resign herself to being a backup singer

Joanna is actually an amazing singer no matter what this jake and mary highhorse duo say. I've been following her career for a while now, watched every video on youtube to see what she's all about, and let me tell you.. she's got a voice more powerful than some would think to give her credit for because THEY DON'T KNOW who she is or what she's capable of. Watch her rendition of The Star Spangled Banner on youtube and then decide. My guess is that she'll easily make it into the top 10 and then all my votes will go to her for the win!

Joanna was actually around 10 (not 6) when she was fired from Annie. I remember her from the Turning Point special with Barbara Walters. She had an amazing voice.

I saw her at the Tabernacle in Altanta Ga. with Nick Lachey, she has an amazing voice, I'd like to see her go all the way!!! Everyone needs a second chance!!!

I still prefer the original intent of the show to find unknown's. Some people need a first chance. Obviously she is making a living in the music business so it's time to look for new talent. The show shouldn't be about D list singers getting another chance.

The intent of the show was to find unknown talent not give D list singers a second or third chance. Some people need a first chance. It won't matter because she is ok but not great.

yes She is a great singer and has the same chance as anyone else on American idol. Especially this year. Everyone in the top 50 had so many things before. One that had a deal with Electra Records,one who self produced and put out 6 albums another is on a tv show so I will vote for Joanna.

Joanna is obviously not making a living in the music industry or she wouldn't be auditioning for American Idol. I also looked her up on YOUTUBE and she has an AMAZING voice - In the music industry I believe timing is a key factor. I also believe artists today need a platform to get their music out there - If it weren't for TV shows - the majority of new artists would not have made it = Before you critize - take a look at her videos on YOUTUBE. I am pretty sure you will change your mind - I honestly think she has a better voice that a lot of artists selling millions of records right now. EVERYONE deserves a second chance - This is obviously what she wants to do for a living - give her a chance to show what she is made of....
