It was a weird night from the very beginning of the AI elimination show tonight. Constantine Maroulis slaughtered his performance, not in a good way. Iggy Pop had to be bleeped and camera blocked during his scary performance. Ryan Seacrest promised a shocking elimination, and he was right. Pia Toscano was eliminated from AI season 10, finishing in 9th place.
The group number returned to start the show. That was the first mistake. Singing a medley of rock & roll hits did nothing to help this group of ranging voices. Last week we got to hear duets, it should have stayed that way.

American Idol Season 10: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Night for the Top 9
Tonight the American Idol hopefuls took on the library of those inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. I think it separated the kids from the adults. The older Idol contestants seemed to dig deeper this week for their songs. The younger ones went with the standards. Nothing really new there though. It seems this group is happy to recreate previous Idol moments. The problem is they always seem to choose the real defining moments of others and leave themselves looking like karaoke fans. Here’s what happened on rock & roll night on American Idol:
Jacob Lusk: “Man In the Mirror” by Michael Jackson
If Jacob Lusk falls into the bottom three tomorrow night it will likely be due to his comments pre-performance. “If I end up in the bottom three it’s because America wasn’t ready to look at itself in the mirror,” said Lusk. You haven’t won yet Jacob. The performance was okay, at best. He over sang the song again. It was only slightly better than Kris Allen’s performance on Idol season eight (and I only say that because the song writer, Siedah Garrett, joined him onstage. How fair is that?). Actually after re-watching the Kris Allen video it wasn't better at all.
