'American Idol' Results Show: Pia Toscano Gets Shocking Early Elimination at Top 9
Besides Pia's Shocking Exit AI Alum Constantine Maroulis Sang His Latest & Hall of Fame Rocker Iggy Pop Brings on "Real Wild Child"
Results in Groups of Threes
Ryan Seacrest brought them out in groups of threes, since there were nine finalists. In the beginning of the show the first group consisted of Casey, Stefano and Lauren. Stefano was in the bottom three as that was no surprise. Halfway through the show it was the second group that was completely bizarre. Paul, Scotty and Pia were brought out onstage.
One would easily assume Pia and Scotty were safe for another week and Paul would be in the bottom three again. Unfortunately it was Pia who was going to the stools. At this point I wasn't too worried for her. Before the last music act was to perform they had the last group of James, Haley and Jacob. Once again not too surprising Jacob was in the bottom three as he was the first to perform on Wednesday night.
Constantine Maroulis' "Unchained Melody"
He was certainly a rebellious theatrical rocker during season 4 when there had not been any rockers on the show previously. "American Idol" was still in its infancy back then (when they had successful winners and non-winners). Unfortunately I loathed Constantine's version of a beautiful song. He absolutely ruined it. There is nothing more to say about it.
Iggy Pop Performs Shirtless on "Real Wild Child (Wild One)"
If I thought Constantine's performance was dreadful I was beyond thrilled to see the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Iggy Pop, grace the Idol stage. It is about time to have a classic rocker who is considered the grandfather of punk rock music on this cheesefest of a show. Thankfully there was no auto-tuning, no ballistic hip hop dancing, no lip-synching from Iggy. He was true to himself by performing shirtless and prancing on the stage like he owned it. Whatever Iggy Pop's reason to perform on the show was (Thank you Steven Tyler) I am glad he was there.
Final Shocking Results
Now the dreaded moment arrived, because I was getting a bad feeling at this point. Never had I dreaded an elimination like this one Thursday night. In the end it was Pia Toscano who was going home. I never saw this coming, never. I have no idea why she was sent home so early in the competition. It seems being beautiful, confident, uber-talented, coming from a major Northern urban city and not being a teenager went against her. One thing is certain we will be seeing her on the Great White Way of Broadway very soon. Like Constantine Maroulis she will also be nominated for a Tony Award too.

Post a Commenti think someone made a big mistake what were they thinking so so bad i alexenagilliswill not be watching idol again
The real talent has left the building. I could not believe this; I don't care who wins at this point; I really enjoyed watching because of Steven Tyler and J-Lo and of course Randy; but I am not watching anymore since Pia is gone.
What the hell?? Are u kidding me? The one with the most talent gets kicked off ! Why do they allow America to choose who stays and who goes? They should fix this voting situation, otherwise, I will never watch again. This makes me sick.
Pia was not the right one to leave. She is an American Idle and the judges should bring her back! That was a major error.
With Pia leaving so did the integrity of American Idol. Shock is putting it as mild as you can. I agree that the public should only be allowed to vote once. What happened last night was a complete and utter travesty. As far as I'm concerned Idol is done for the season, and too many more nights like lastnight....and it might be done for good! That was Terrible!!
Let the Judges who know talent
have the majority vote. The public vote should only count for 25-30 %.
What happened last night is a crime!
Somehow PIA has to be brought back to the show and make this an example of why the rules need to be changed!
I have watched American Idol for the last time. Last night proved, once and for all, that the American public is stupid and has no taste or idea of talent, and I have heard from several others that they will not watch this season.
I think letting Pia was a HUGE mistake. Granted, she'll get record contracts as a result of being discivered - - but the whole point is to win the competition too. She has the whole package. She only needs to learn how to get comfortable performing. So, who's going to win - - probably Casey - - I just don't get why they like him so much. He's dullsville with a capital D!
This is Completely Insane!! PIA eliminated?? are you f--king kidding me THIS is the reason the show is Bulls--t..because they let 12 -14 year old tiny boppers vote hundreds of times and it has nothing to do with talent..like they are capable of judgung talent...this happens every year look at the winners tha last 2 years..all no talent...it is a popularity contest not a Talent contest CHANGE THE GODZ-AM rules already It just KEEPS HAPPENING!!! Pia had it ALL TALENT,LOOKS,BODY POISE CLASS ARe you kidding me She is a STAR!!
At least 4 of the contenders including Pia are all very good. I think the judges should admit, they need to bring Pia Toscano back and I would put the woman under a record contract, I just could not believe my eyes. Pretty sure the judges agree.
