American Idol Replacement Fails to Impress

Poor Tim Urban, as per the AP, his chance to show the judges what he can do didn't go over too well. The 20 year old was chosen to replace Chris Golightly after it was found out Golightly had a previous record deal. However, his take on "Apologize" was not well received, though to be fair, he was not alone.

Man, that must really suck. You are given a second chance, and then it doesn't go over well. It is up to the public though, so anything can still happen (Sanjaya anyone?)

Update on American Idol's Chris Golightly

According to TVGuide.com, Chris Golightly was released from American Idol due to the fact that he failed to mention his past record deal. According to a source form the show, all contestants must state any record contracts, past or present, that they have been a part of. This is a shame, because it is also mentioned that once someone is dropped form the top 24, they are no longer eligible to audition. Unfortunately, we may not hear his side for a while, since Golightly is bound by a confidentiality agreement.
