This is American Idle.

After last week's full-throttle Rock Week with Jon Bon Jovi, the competition came to a halt Tuesday night. We're not sure who thought Barry Gibb could follow JBJ, but we're sure that it was a bad idea.

Each of the Top 4 faltered. Not once, but twice. After a disappointing first round, we held out hope for a strong finish. But that wasn't to be the case.

Here's a breakdown of the judges' comments for Tuesday's performances:

Contestant 1: Some notes were pitchy. We're not sure why you chose that song. Overall, not your best performance.

Contestant 2: Some notes were pitchy. We're not sure why you chose that song. Overall, not your best performance.

Contestant 3: Some notes were pitchy. We're not sure why you chose that song. Overall, not your best performance.

Contestant 4: Some notes were pitchy. We're not sure why you chose that song. Overall, not your best performance.

And we couldn't agree more. This was the most boring hour of television we've watched in a long time.

We miss Phil. A lot.
