Now that Upfronts 2015 have entered the scheduling phase, we thought most of the major renewals, cancellations and pickups had delivered their biggest surprises. Not so apparently, as FOX has decided to put American Idol out to pasture after 15 seasons, ending the reality singing competition for good next year.

They’re competing for a similar demographic, so it only stands to reason that the ‘American Idol‘ judges might not be on the friendliest of terms with their counterparts on NBC’s upstart hit ‘The Voice.’ But it’s still a little surprising to watch the war of words that seems to be unfolding between Adam Levine and Randy Jackson.

'American Idol' got its second shocking elimination of the season, only this time, the judges weren't able to savePia Toscano. In a major surprise, the 22-year-old beauty, who wowed America early on with such performances as 'I'll Stand By You,' 'All By Myself' and this week's 'River Deep, Mountain High,' leaves the competition tonight as season 10 wields down to just eight contestants.
