STAGE TUBE: AMERICAN IDOL Producers Give Contestant Jermaine Jones the Boot

The top 12 finalists were reduced to the Top 11 this week as the competition's "gentle giant" Jermaine Jones was eliminated for failing to disclose criminal charges against him. Since Jermaine still has four active warrants out for his arrest - and because he failed to come clean from the beginning - Idol producers had no choice but to let him go.

As for the remaining contestants, they each sang a song from the year they were born, and while some had a "moment," others might be in a little bit of trouble. Tonight, America will find out who made the Top 10 - and who's going on the American Idol summer tour!
