American Idol: Pia Toscano’s Shocking Elimination!
Apr 8, 2011 @ 10:40 amPia Toscano got voted off American Idol last night in one of the most shocking elimination rounds in Idol history! (Who can forget Jennifer Hudson, though?) The 22-year-old New York native was widely believed to be one of the front-runners of the competition. “When she sings, she’s a bird,” judge Steven Tyler said in shock last night after host Ryan Seacrest called her name. “You’re one of the best singers in this,” said judge Randy Jackson. Her elimination also brought our favorite judge Jennifer Lopez to tears: “I’m shocked, I’m angry,” Lopez said while choking up. And not only will we miss her lovely voice, we’ll also miss her style. Click through to take a look back at Pia Toscano’s style moments. Tell us what you thought of Pia’s run on American Idol in the comments!




I was totally shocked at the elimination of Pia…It is an outrage and so wrong. What needs to be done is an overhauling of the voting system for American Idol…it is being taken over by teeny boppers and college kids who only want rockers to win and they are abusing the system,,,,,,,,,,,,it is a disgrace. There should also be a limited on how many times you can vote for one contestant and a limit on voting to 10 votes..just like America’s Got Talent. The voting process has been hijacked. Look at who has won in the last four or five years? Who do you really remember? The runners up are more successful than the winners. It is because of the voting system and American Idol better do something because they are going to lose their audience. I did not watch last year because they had mediocre talent but this year my interest was renewed but now that I see what is going on, I am totally disalusioned and disgusted. Also the panel has to be a little more critical…they have to…not everyone gave stellar performances week to week…I believe they made a huge mistake rescuing Casey and using that SAVE vote…big mistake…He is not attractive; his voice is mediocre and he is really only good to be a part of a band or a lounge singer…not a top headliner…..Pia has something…she needs some guidance but she has something…Something has to be done..The oducers better do something next year as now this could end up being a real scandal…The elimination of Pia Toscano was a travesty; it was wrong and it was because these college kids; these teeny boppers want to vote in inadequate talent like Casey, like Paul; Come on, they are talented but not super talented….Pia had the IT factor…she had something just like Jennifer Hudson did…so I think a good overhaul of the voting system of AI next season.
