20100224-aigolightly.jpgQuestion, kids: was Chris Golightly, who was disqualified from American Idol last week after contract issues, royally shafted? Was it just a matter of everything going wrong at the worst possible time? Or is it, in fact, a good thing for him? Because really, he isn't going away, and it's been almost a week since he was kicked.

I won't hide it from you guys: I don't like him. I don't like the way he trots out his back story (because if you're that good a singer, you're better off letting your talents do the talking). I did feel bad when he was disqualified, although I felt we didn't lose anything. But he hasn't disappeared: he's talking to the media, virtually pleading to be brought back, and last we heard, he's shopping around an autobiography which will outline, in part, why he shouldn't have been disqualified.
