“American Idol” is a competition to find the best undiscovered talent in the country, but the rules and fairness of the game were put to the test when Joanna Pacitti showed up to the auditions of the show’s 8th season.

Joanna is not an amateur! She is described as someone who already has a very well-established career in the business – Joanna has launched one album titled “This Crazy Life” and has been featured in various movie soundtracks.

Joanna Pacitti – a singer who was once signed to A&M Records. During that time she not only put out an album, but had songs featured on the soundtracks for films like “Legally Blonde,” “First Daughter” and “Nancy Drew.” Joanna even recorded the song “Out From Under” which Britney Spears covered on her most recent album, “Circus.”

Joanna who previously complained about how easy it was for “Idols” to make it in the music business has turned the table on herself. She auditioned and put quite a tearful show while trying to resuscitate her dead career on the same show she once bashed.

Joanna was asked if she resents that TV turns people into stars in a matter of seconds. “It’s handed to people way too easily,” she said of the fame that comes from being on an “Idol”-like show. “I’d rather have my experience than overnight success.”

Looks like Joanna now wants to get a taste of some overnight success. What do you think? Does this girl’s experience in the show/music business threaten the fairness of competition on “American Idol”??
