LOL! That is cute.

Erika Van Pelt

Going all the way back to 1985, Erica's choice is Bryan Adam's "We're In Heaven". Very nice! First completely solid performance of the night.

Steven: I think you're too busy all over it. Gotta stay with the melody, but I still love your voice.

J-Lo: Such a powerful voice. You're this year's Janis Joplin. The arrangement left us wanting more. You look amazing, the best you've looked. I feel you coming together as an artist. I think you're great.

Randy: I kinda liked it. A nice 8 outta 10. Great song choice. Just be careful not to make too much out of a great song. If it ain't broke don't try to fix it. And don't let anybody tell you fix it. You feel me! You feel me!

Finally.

Seacrest intros video from yesterday when Jermaine was confronted by Lythgoe and other producers. A "shut the door, have a seat" moment.

They read off his criminal records/arrests from just last year. LOL! He acts like this is all news to him.

I wish Lythgoe would ask the obvious question: You're on a show watched by millions of people every week! You didn't think anyone would recognize you?

But it boils down to "we're sorry, but you didn't tell us about this, so we have to let you go."

As Jermaine/Joel/Kareem does the walk of shame, we hear his rehearsals from yesterday. Oh it's bad. Like how was he even allowed on the show in the first place bad.

And predicably, we come back live to the judges table where everyone looks appropriately disappointed.

Still no word on how they're going to deal with this absence on the show.

And Hollie—forgot about her, lol.

Skylar Laine

Her choice is Bonnie Raitt's "Love Sneaking Up On You". Excellent.

Steven: I haven't heard you sing a song bad yet!

J-Lo: I gotta keep it real, I gotta say you killed that! You did that Country thang.

Randy: This is our rockin' in-house Country girl! Didn't matter about the song. You came out and rocked it!
