Frankie Avalon Sings "Venus" on American Idol

American Idol's results show is cutting to seven, with Kellie Pickler and Flo Rida singing.Randy says he was disappointed with last night--flat, and bad song choice. I totally agree. Kara says some people are really struggling; then they waste some time looking at what was going on the year Simon was born, 1959.

And then, surprise guest Frankie Avalon strolls out singing Venus! Most of Idol's viewers have no idea who he is, but let's just say he was like the Adam Lambert of his day. :-)And even stranger, not only do they not recap the previous night's performances -- they don't replay Adam's "Mad World," even though a lot of people never watched it on TV since the show ran 8 minutes over.

Frankie Avalon gave American Idol fans a surprise, performing VENUS tonight. Frankie Avalon looked great, taking the stage for the results show this evening on American Idol. Avalon joined performances tonight from Kellie Pickler and LALATE’s fav Flo Rida.Avalon got an introduction anchored by looking at what was going on the year Simon was born - 1959, as if anyone cares what was going on anytime in Simon’s life.
