Chris Golightly Disqualified, Replaced By Tim Urban On American Idol
Chris Golightly, best known as the American Idol “Orphan” (watch video here), earned his spot on American Idol’s Top 24 but we didn’t see him making through the rounds in Hollywood or the final verdict. Why? Chris was reportedly disqualified due to a misunderstanding related to an old contract.

Apparently Chris had a contract with a Boy Band until June 2009 but he failed to warn the producers of the show about it and therefore was disqualified. There is no official statement at the moment.
Chris was actually shown on the Top 24 and Top 12 guys group shot at the end of the show (guy with curly blonde hair in the photo above) but mysteriously disappeared during the individual “booty shaking” introductions, while Tim Urban took his place on American Idol’s Season 9 Top 24.
There is some good news: Michael Lynche aka Big Mike will not be disqualified after his father revealed he was on the Top 24. American Idol producers reconsidered and gave Big Mike another chance. He deserves it!

I dont think its fair that Chris Golighty got dropped just because he was in another band. Your supposed to keep your options open. When applying for a job do you apply for one vacancy or do you apply for a few and see which one sticks.
