- LOS ANGELES: Tim Urban couldn't get any satisfaction on "American Idol." The judges dismissed Urban's reggae rendition of "Under My Thumb" during a night of Rolling Stones tunes in the Fox singing competition's first round of finals Tuesday.
"Idol" judge Randy Jackson dubbed the 20-year-old college student's take on the 1966 classic "weird," and Simon Cowell affirmed it was a "crazy decision." Urban shrugged off their criticism. "I tried to make it my own," he attested over howls from the audience. The panel was most impressed with Siobhan Magnus' theatrical interpretation of "Paint It Black," which concluded with the 20-year-old glass blower wailing into the microphone. Jackson called Magnus' approach "hot," while Cowell proclaimed it was the "standout performance of the night." Kara DioGuardi said it reminded her of Adam Lambert, last season's runner-up. "You rise above," Ellen DeGeneres told Magnus.
