Top 72 Leak

Chris Golightly
Chris Golightly was originally selected as a semi-finalist. However, Chris was disqualified on February 17, 2010, after already being told he was in the top 24, over an old record contract. The contract had expired by the time the top 24 began to tape, but they disqualified him because he was under contract at the time of the tryouts, in violation of Idolrules. He was replaced by Tim Urban at the last minute of the last part of Hollywood Week.
