This week on American Idol, the Top 6 sang songs by musica legend Carole King, and the previously saved Casey ABrams got eliminated for the second time. Check out photos from the episode below!

After 9 surprisingly entertaining Carole King-inspired performances the top 6 contestants who we've come to know and love, became the top 5 on tonight's elimination show. But who would be the next victim? Ryan started out the night by stating that MANY would be disappointed by tonight's outcome and I had tragic flashbacks of the Pia-elimination that shocked the country. Please don't let it be James!

After ten years of FOX dominating mid-week television ratings, NBC has finally responded to mega-hit ‘American Idol' with its own vocal competition- ‘The Voice.' It took them long enough! Premiering just last night, music stars Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, and Blake Shelton took a turn judging America's talent, seated in oversized revolving thrones that made Idol's panel look like a picnic table.

From a Casey -on-JLo smooch to a shockingly awesome performance from Ms. Reinhart, last night's episode of American Idol was chock-full of welcomed surprises. Beginning with the unexpected performance from the already eliminated half of the top 13, the shockers just kept coming- perhaps the best of which being the sudden harsher-than-normal criticism from the judges! Finally some legit guidance for the voters that need it!

After the great Pia Toscano debacle of 2011, last week's elimination of Paul McDonald was refreshing to say the least. Though I can't deny that I already miss his uncomfortably white teeth and the kooky way he pranced around the Idol stage, it was his time to go.

After last week's shock elimination, it seemed that everyone on the AMERICAN IDOL stage was especially aware of how quickly things can change. One minute, a contestant seems easily on top, and the next, they're out of the competition.

To say that last week's American Idol elimination was a shocker is the understatement of the century. In fact, Pia Toscano's untimely departure from the show seems to have left a bad taste in the mouths of Idol fans everywhere, with Pia being the subject of talk show chats and internet gossip all week. I for one, won't cease missing watching her on a weekly basis anytime soon.

In last night's American Idol results show, front-runner Pia Toscano was eliminated from the show. Check out her performance of 'River Deep Mountain High' (the performance that sent her home) below. Does this seem worthy of ninth place?

It seems too early in the competition for the finalists of American Idol to be so universally outstanding. Sure, last night's performances included both highs and lows, and true I'm attached to some of the competitors more than others. Quite frankly, I find it highly unusual that the top 9 are as polished as they are. Perhaps it's a reflection of the show's new mentors and/or judges?

Before Tony nominee Constantine Maroulis took on a leading role on the Great White Way, he was just s singer from a small New Jersey based band. Quickly after starring in the fourth season of American Idol, alongside Carrie Underwood, Maroulis brought his talent to Broadway, starring in THE WEDDING SINGER and ROCK OF AGES soon after. In honor of his return to the Idol stage tonight, BroadwayWorld has picked our favorite Maroulis performances, which include everything from Broadway to Idol and lots in between. Check out our picks below!

Last night on American Idol, the top 9 jammed to the '500 Songs That Shaped Rock n Roll' from the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Check out photos from the episode below!

Down to just nine performers, American Idol's remaining contestants have proven week after week that they make up perhaps the most talented bunch of finalists in the show's 10 season history. No complaints there, but such a statistic also means that even excellent performances tonight could warrant a ticket home.

Throughout the season, BroadwayWorld has been bringing you video updates of the quests of comedian Randy Rainbow. First he tried to save the cast of SPIDER-MAN. Then he auditioned for American Idol. Click below to see his latest: his 'return' to Idol with feedback from its famous judges.

Last nighthon American Idol, Naima and Thia fell victim of the dreaded double elimination. Check out photos from the episode below!

On Wednesday, April 6 (8:00-9:30 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), the Top 9 finalists - Casey Abrams, Lauren Alaina, James Durbin, Stefano Langone, Jacob Lusk, Scotty McCreery, Paul McDonald, Haley Reinhart and Pia Toscano - return to the IDOL stage to perform songs from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The IDOLs will be accompanied by legendary rock guitarist Jeff Beck, who will be performing with Ray Chew and the AMERICAN IDOL band.

'No more saves, no more exceptions, and no one can escape the outcome of your over 55 million votes.' Ryan Seacrest painted the perfect picture of tonight's episode right off the bat. With last week's dramatic Casey Abrams rescue, tonight became the first and only double elimination of the season.

Last night, after the Top 11 finalists performed the songs of Sir Elton John, more than 55 million votes were cast, setting a new AMERICAN IDOL voting record for this early in the competition.
