AI8 Auditions Joanna Pacitti
Joanna Pacitti
It is confirmed that Joanna Pacitti, 23, has auditioned for American Idol Season 8 and has made it thru the first round and is awaiting callbacks. However I am unsure which city she auditioned at. She is currently being called a “plant” but I think she has a beautiful voice. I really enjoyed hearing her sing “Somewhere over the Rainbow” over on You Tube
Joanna was born on October 6, 1984 (Libra) to parents Stella and Joseph Pacitti; she is of Italian and Irish descent. At the age of 5, she began singing to the customers in her father’s barber shop. Her mother enrolled her in dance classes, and she began competing in local talent and dance competitions. When she was 11 years old, she was chosen to star in the 20th Anniversary revival of the musical Annie after entering a contest sponsored by the department store Macy’s.
Pacitti starred in 106 performances with the National Tour, obtaining mixed reviews. Two weeks before the show was to land on Broadway, she became ill with bronchitis. She returned to find she had been replaced by her understudy. The firing became national news and generated a great deal of publicity.
At the age of 16, she was signed to a contract by A&M Records president Ron Fair, the man who discovered household names such as Christina Aguilera and Vanessa Carlton. She has appeared on some soundtracks, including Legally Blonde in 2001 and a five track promotional CD released with Mattel’s My Scene - Chelsea Spring Break (Series 2), called “My Scene -Chelsea Mix.” In 2002, the Taiwanese girl group S.H.E made a cover of her song “Watch Me Shine.” In 2005, She appeared on the TV show “What I Like About You” as Amber. I totally loved this show it had Jennie Garth & Amanda Bynes. But I don’t remember Joanna…..
In May 2006, her first single, “Let It Slide“, was released under Geffen Records and went to radio at the end of June. Her debut album, “This Crazy Life” was released on August 15th. She appeared on some more soundtracks including First Daughter Soundtrack(2004) - Fall; Nancy Drew Soundtrack(2007) - Pretty Much Amazing; Bratz Soundtrack(2007)- Out From Under
As of September 2007, she is no longer signed with Geffen Records.

YES!
(HUGE fan, I found this site when Google-searching for any “leaks” about the auditions so far)
It’s since been deleted, but she posted a blog last month about auditioning — Louisville as the first plan, then NYC if she wasn’t able to get there…as I commented at the time, so much for me not tuning in this season!
