Iggy Pop Shocks American Idol – How Old Is This Guy Anyway?

Wow, it was not too long ago we watched as Casey Abrams almost collapsed on live television, but now the American Idol producers are trying to shock us with, well – shock rock.

That’s about the only way you can explain last night’s American Idol’s presentation featuring aged rocker Iggy Pop.

Iggy sang “Wild One”, wearing no shirt and the tightest jeans ever for a man of 63. That’s right – Iggy Pop is 63 years old and trying to perform on American Idol.

Pop began calling himself "Iggy" after his first band in high school, The Iguanas. But how could AI let him take off his shirt?

It was bad. It was worse than watching the “new” Rolling Stones. There was absolutely no soul to his voice and he moved around the stage like his hip might go out. His skin was flabby and looked like it was going to fall off any minute.

And I got to say, I think there were a few “Pitchy” spots, and the look on the judges faces spoke volumes.

In somewhat of a shocking announcement, Pia Toscano was voted out and her AI journey is now over.

That’s sad; she was one of the best. How has Paul ‘Rod Stewart’ McDonald and country boy Scotty McCreery been able to hang on so long?
