American Idol Hopeful Joanna Pacitti
19 were given golden tickets from "American Idol" Louisville auditions last night including 24-year old Joanna Pacitti from Los Angeles.
One of the best singers so far, Joanna wowed the judges by singing “We Belong” by Pat Benatar and was unanimously chosen to move onto the Hollywood round.
Joanna has been performing since she was five years old. She began singing to the customers in her father's barber shop. At the age of 11, she joined the Broadway cast of ‘Annie,’ only to be dismissed from the show before the production reached Broadway as she developed bronchitis and was unable to perform. Her mother sued producers for $50 million over the firing, reportedly settling out of court.
Joanna was previously signed to A&M records, and her debut recording was titled "This Crazy Life." She has recorded songs for movie soundtracks including Legally Blonde and Bratz.
