Constantine Maroulis:American Idol

Season 4 "American Idol" alumni Constantine Maroulis was on hand for the Top 9 results show to perform. He did a rocker version of "Unchained Melody," which was a really weird thing to hear. What did you think of the scream-y rocker version?

We were surprised he didn't perform something from "Rock of Ages," the Broadway show in which Constantine is currently touring (and for which he was nominated for a Tony). We would've loved to hear him to "Sister Christian" or "The Search Is Over," both of which he sings in the musical.

"Rock of Ages" is currently on tour. Has anybody caught it? We've heard good things. It's actually coming near your author's current residence and she's thinking about attending. Let her know in the comments if it's a good show.

Pia Toscano Voted Off In "American Idol" Shocker

American Idol" ended on a very uneasy note tonight as Pia Toscano, one of the show's strongest singers, was sent home.
Jennifer Lopez cried, Steven Tyler snapped, Randy Jackson ranted.
Tyler later told reporters on the post-"Idol" red carpet: "Boys aren't voting, and girls are jealous."

Pia

Let's put the blame where it belongs: on Gwen Stefani. If it weren't for that jumpsuit, we'd have been relieved of Stefano.

And, Iggy... no. That did not work. I love you, but I don't think America understands.

American Idol:Iggy Pop

So you wanna be a rocker, James Durbin? Take a lesson from Iggy Pop -- who at age 63 (Note: That's like 398 in heroin years) pranced shirtless across the "Idol" stage singing his 1986 hit "Real Wild Child."

At some point, even legends become caricatures of themselves. Think "Fat Elvis" or, you know, Britney Spears. But that doesn't mean we don't still heart them. And Iggy gets our props for -- in true rock and roll spirit -- not giving a flying **** whether he delivered a top-notch performance on a competition show he would've bombed out of back in 1969 anyway. The man is a rock legend and that's why he was there Thursday (April 7) night...
