Anyone watching Season 10 of American Idol?

Why did he go shirtless?

Teka,

The only answer that I can think of is he didn't have his glasses on and couldn't see how bad he looked!!

Seyla,

Ya got that right!!!  BIG surprise tonight!

Sorry Jacob should have gone..........his comment the night he sang was totally uncalled for.............I still say he's a screamer.........

How anyone could imply that Scotty is arrogant is ridiculous..........The kid has talent, is quiet, and quite humble..........Because he doesn't jump around like the others....and again is clean, polished, and looks like he doesn't need a bath..........come on ladies

They did their save for Casey........said it was a bad move too early.....Pia was better.  Could have saved it for her........She had talent......someone will sign her.

The shirtless Iggy Pop was a definite low in the history of AI.  Tonight's vote was surprising in some ways, but in other ways not so much.  I just think it should have been Stefano first.

Here is the wiki link for Iggy Pop... don't think it was the Sex Pistols.. I vaguely remember him from his collaborations with David Bowie in the 80s.....   According to wikipedia, I think he was with the Stooges?  I've never heard of them.  It wasn't an appealing act, even if he is an alternative legend. 

Here's the wiki link if you are interested.  I caught a glimpse of another picture with no shirt, so maybe that is part of his regular act?  But I agree, it was not a very appealing performance.

While Pia's taste in music left me kind of cold, she was one of the stronger singers, and didn't deserve to go home.  And again, like last year, all the little tweener girls with their fast fingers on their cell phones mean that we are going to have a final five with one girl left!

my eyes are still burning from shirtless old man with flapping skin gyrating on stage. My husband said "his pants are tighter than his skin!"

OK, Ladies...

I think I stand corrected (and DH was wrong..lol) BUT, I think we can all agree, "no shirt guy" was very uncomfortable to watch!!!

angel- I know what you mean about Jacob's comment.  When he said that, it changed my mind about him.  He doesn't seem mean or cocky, but that comment came out of nowhere.  And, I too would love to see Adam Lambert and James perfrom together.  I loved Adam and now I like James alot.

Radiant- finally someone that shares my dislike for Scotty.  I think he is cocky too.  I just can't get past the arrogance.  And why on earth were those girls running up to the stage?  ewww!

This is kind of a gross analogy, but I told my mother in law Iggy Pops chest looked like mine after my skin sparing, before I had any fills.   I know he is older so I can't say much about his hanging skin, but at least keep it covered up.....yuk!

Go Haley, Casey and James!

Sorry to be slightly off topic .. just wanted to share some interesting tidbits about Iggy Pop:

James Newell Osterberg Jr. 
The Iguana, The Godfather of Punk, Jimmy 
21 April 1947, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA 
 
Legendary Rock 'n' Roll wildman and substance abuser. Recorded a series of classic rock albums with The Stooges and later as a solo artist. Worked extensively with 'David Bowie

Is said to be the 'Father of Punk Rock' 

-   The character "Funboy" in the original _The Crow (1994)_ (qv) was modeled after him, and he was supposed to be cast as "Funboy", but scheduling prohibited him from being in the movie. He instead appeared as "Curve" in its sequel, _The Crow: City of Angels (1996)_ (qv). 

-   Father of Eric Benson. 

-   Iggy plays guitar left-handed. 

-   Had a cameo role on _"Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" (1993)_ (qv). "DS9" producer 'Ira Steven Behr' (qv) was at the time and is to this day a major fan. 

-   Footage of him writhing on stage is used as the opening of and to separate segments on Australia's longest running and most popular music video show _"Rage" (1987)_ (qv). 

-   Computer animators on 'Peter Jackson (I)' (qv)'s _The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)_ (qv) used his movement and body as a basis for the character Gollum. 

-   His group, 'The Stooges' (qv), although never a huge commercial success, was essential in the development of punk rock. In fact, the unifying trait of all the members of what were arguably the two greatest "punk" bands, 'Ramones' (qv) and 'The Sex Pistols' (qv), was their idolizing of Iggy and The Stooges. 

-   Now famous for his crazed behavior in the late 60s and 70s, much of Iggy's craziness was fueled by his addiction to heroin. Iggy would often mutilate himself, roll around in peanut butter or broken glass, throw himself offstage (and once down a flight of stairs), bend his body like a pretzel, hump his amps, go naked, and insult the audience. Offstage, he did little else other shoot heroin and have promiscuous sex. In the late 70s, he quit heroin to save his own life and lost interest in sleeping around.

-   Iggy (short for "Iguana") is often compared to 'Jim Morrison (I)' (qv) (also known as "The Lizard" or the "Lizard King"). While Morrison's 'The Doors' (qv) was far better known and more commercially successful than Iggy's Stooges, the Stooges sparked punk rock music. The two were comparably wild men, known for their over-the-top, destructive stage acts and hedonistic behaviors offstage. The biggest difference, of course, is that Iggy survived his wild years, while Morrison didn't. When Morrison died, the surviving Doors even tried to recruit Iggy as a replacement, but he turned them down.

-   The Stooges were voted the 78th Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Artists of all time by Rolling Stone.

-   'David Bowie (I)' (qv) produced 'The Stooges' (qv)' "Raw Power" album as well as Iggy's first two solo albums, "The Idiot" & "Lust For Life". "The Idiot" Contains the original version of the song "China Girl", later covered famously by Bowie.

-   In the 1970s, 'David Bowie (I)' (qv) played keyboard on his first solo tour. He was an unannounced guest player.

Well I wish Pia would have done something more disco..(I know it was R&R ) I think she would have been good with last dance.

I can't help liking Jacob.

Scotty was kind of fun.

Durbin is growing on me....in the group he seemed like the best singer.

I enjoy paul.

Stefano...yawn.

Hailey...I like her voice

Lauren...potential...not quite there yet

I like Casey with the bass...not my total favorite singer tho

Still can't see how anyone could call Scotty arrogant..............Also a dork...............I guess I just like clean cut guys, who comb their hair, dress like their not a circus act, don't look like they need a good scrubbing and above all else "has talent"

Another young boy comes to mind David Archalette same thing, same qualities as Scotty, but that isn't what kids today like....................oh and yea "the girls running on stage absolutely ridiculous, as was said "what was that about..................Totally unnecessary..........Hey ladies we can agree to disagree.........Lets just hope the best person wins, but face it, the really good ones have probably already been talked to by some big record company..........In some cases even the losers come out winners.............Rainy Friday in the Northeast.

I thought Iggy Pop was awful & an embarrassment.

No loss to me to see Pia go. Beautiful girl, beautiful voice but...somehow she just didn't connect. That being said, they ALL are doing well, and SOMEBODY has to go every single week.  I think having those professional producers greatly reduces the chances of someone bombing (and therefore being an easy pick to go), so it is going to be hard every week from now on.

I wondered if J-Lo is cut out for this. She really seemed to take it hard last night.

And finally - the judges all kept saying how wrong this was. I wonder who THEY thought should have gone?

Last night's elimination was a shocker.  I didn't think Pia would necessarily win, but thought she would at least be in the top 5.  Fickle voters! 

Iggy Pop's performance was pretty awful -- he should retire and remain a legend (just my opinion).

I think the judges clearly expected it would be Stefano (when it came down to Pia and Stefano).  As we watched my boyfriend said: imaginne how Stefano feels right now.  He had to know that if he had been cut the judges would not have had that reaction.

I agree ladies -- Pia was BORING -- a great singer but boring. 

I also agree with whoever said that they usually have a favorite by now (so do I) and this year I don't either.
