How do people like Emily Wynne Hughes get to be on American Idol when they are under contract?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

From the source: Some came to Cook's defense. "There are plenty of contestants, winners and non-winners that have had careers in music, had representation and recorded music before 'AI,' " wrote one poster, adding that Cook's deal was seven years old: "If nothing ever happened with that, I would think she'd still be considered 'unsigned.' "
So yeah, basically it seems like unless someone has massive success they'll be eligible for American Idol as long as it helps them with ratings.

Additionally, it gets her some extra exposure, particularly if there's a contract.
"She got kicked off because she already has a recording contract!"
"Oh yeah? I need to check her out. What's her album called?"

I think you're right. It's a small bit of a marketing move engineered by the producers of the show. No doubt, they have an interest in her band.
Apparently (according to the Mahalo SERP and vote for the worst.com), she didn't make it past Hollywood Week.
Don't forget the show is first and foremost about promotion.
