Jimmy Iovine was highly critical of Colton Dixon’s performances Wednesday night on “American Idol.”
So was the “Idol” mentor surprised when America’s vote eliminated Dixon from the competition?
After tonight’s results show, Fox All Access producer Jeff Axelrod spoke to Iovine to find out what he thought of the voting, and his candid assessment of whether this year’s crop of “Idol” contestants has any superstars in the making.
The Top 6 will perform Queen songs with the band’s Brian May and Roger Taylor on the “American Idol” performance show, next Wednesday night at 8/7c on Fox.
Time ran out for Colton Dixon on “American Idol” tonight. The 20-year-old’s performances of “Bad Romance” and “September” weren’t well-received by the judges or mentor Jimmy Iovine on Wednesday night, and the viewers agreed, sending him back home to Tennessee.
Should Dixon, whose performances up until last night generally got a lot of praise, have been punished for his one bad night?
Fox All Access producer Jeff Axelrod went backstage at “Idol” and caught up with judges Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, and Steven Tyler after the show to talk with them about Dixon’s elimination, and to find out if they think the audience is doing a good job of judging the contestants on their talent.
Next week, the Top 6 contestants — Hollie Cavanagh, Skylar Laine, Joshua Ledet, Phillips Phillips, Jessica Sanchez, and Elise Testone — get to sing the songs of Queen, with the band’s Brian May and Roger Taylor on hand as special guests.
The two-hour performance show airs Wednesday night at 8/7c, with the results being announced Thursday night at 8/7c on Fox.

For eight seasons, the doctors of “House” have delved into the issues of what it means to be human, raising questions about both morality and mortality.
And often, the answers have been left deliberately murky, leaving enough grey areas to encourage viewers to use their own grey matter and draw their own conclusions.
With the series soon drawing to a close, Fox All Access visited the set of “House” and asked its stars — Hugh Laurie, Robert Sean Leonard, Omar Epps, Peter Jacobson, Odette Annable, and Charlyne Yi — to tell us the one lesson about life they hope the show’s fans will take away from the series.
You know, aside from “Everybody lies.”
The final six episodes of “House” air Monday nights at 9/8c on Fox.
