This is what has kept the internet buzzing, so here is the answer to it right from the mouth of another American Idol contestant.</p>
<p>As per fellow American Idol contestant for the Hollywood Week, Samantha Musa, the response is “Yes”. Samantha musa auditioned for Idol in LA and got a Golden Ticket, but we never saw her on TV.</p>
<p>If you have seen the Wednesday February 17<sup>th</sup> episode you would have noticed that Chris Golightly was integrated in the group shot at episode’s end, but when the individual dancing montage was showed Golightly was missing and instead we saw Tim Urban shaking his groove thing.</p>
<p>Many of the viewers remember Chris Golightly as the man who has lived in around 25 foster homes from the time when he was 18 months old.</p>
<p>The news of Golightly’s disqualification got confirmed with Ryan Seacrest’s TWEET, Ryan on Wednesday, February 17, soon after the Idol Top 24 were announced Tweeted that, &#8220;been determined that Chris Golightly is disqualified from IDOL, he will be replaced by contestant Tim Urban as part of the Top 24&#8243;. Though the reason of the disqualification hasn’t been estimated yet, and even Ryan remained shady on it and wrote &#8220;must have broken a rule or maybe had previous deal&#8221;.</p>

Mr. Nasty, Simon Cowell announced the names of the top 24 singers who will battle each other for the title, while other adjudicators gracing the board of the reality show.</p>
<p>If it makes you happy then here are some of the names from the top 24 potential American Idol’s culled by the panel of judges who you might have liked in auditions or in other rounds. Casey James, Michael Lynche, Didi Benami, Aaron Kelly, Todrick Hall, and Lee Dewyze, Katelyn Epperly was all included in the top 24.</p>
<p>The top 24 of American idol featured contestant who has given shirtless audition, contestant who has missed the birth of his child, contestant who has sand immensely emotionally charged version of Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel” and several others with interesting and moving backgrounds.</p>
<p>The complete 24 are yet to be declared and probably will be declared next week, but the chances of young Katie Stevens, Crystal Bowersox and Andrew Garcia looks pretty bright. But the answer could only be known when the remaining top 24 will be declared. So come back once again for the complete 24 potential American Idol introduction.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.optimusnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Shelby-Dressel-American-Idol.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-817" src="http://www.optimusnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Shelby-Dressel-American-Idol.jpg" alt="" width="260" height="300" /></a>American Idol has its share of pretenders and attention seekers every season and many of them emerges exclusively for the opening to conquer Andrew Warhol’s prophetic ‘15 minutes of fame.’ Some of the contestants are as figment of the imagination as they are talentless; and still both the artistic and the trite contestants are ambitious of an enhanced life or a get away from despair and desolation.</p>
<p>The Season 9 too brought several such examples, but among this latest collection of dreamers and freaks and prodigies the two most noteworthy or notorious contestant and their performance was Brian Krause and Shelby Dressel from Tuesday’s Atlanta and Wednesday’s Orlando auditions respectively. Both Shelby Dressel and Brian Krause struck for noticeably different reasons.</p>
<p>‘American Idol’ always has brought inspirational stories for the audiences and even though it’s too early to say, but Shelby Dressel will probably prove one of American Idol season 9’s most moving.  Shelby was born with a jaw problem identifies as ‘damaged facial nerve’, but her abnormality vanishes when she sings, and leaves the focus of audiences only on her saintly vocals.  Though Shelby needs a touch up in the confidence department, she is beautiful, modest and affable. And even if we keep the story behind Shelby Dressel aside, she deserves the golden ticket for the angelic vocals that mesmerized one and all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.optimusnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Shelby-Dressel.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-814" src="http://www.optimusnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Shelby-Dressel.png" alt="" width="320" height="320" /></a>Every season of American Idol brings some pretenders and attention seekers seeking Andrew Warhol’s prophetic ‘15 minutes of fame’ and the season 9 of the show is no different. As the Winter Olympics are on, and for the reason that Fox wants to get ratings though it can, tonight’s episode was of two hours. Though the padding was out of control but still the entire show easily would have been wrapped inside an hour. The episode started with remaining 71 contestants, divided into three different rooms, after their final performances. While the judges made their final deliberations, the show flashed the past performances of the contestants to let us know who they actually are. The contestants were getting nervous and having psychological torture as the judge took time to come out with their final verdict.</p>
<p>One among the contestants was Shelby Dressel. Shelby was born with certain jaw issues and despite that the girl has done exceedingly well all the way through Hollywood, even though we not at all saw her. She had main nervousness regarding the lyrics for her last audition piece, “More Than a Feeling.” Shelby Dressel sounded tremendous, on what could be said an immensely challenging song.</p>
<p>Shelby Dressel is expected to be one of the inspirational stories that American idol always has brought, but was missing in this season.</p>
