For the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame theme on this week's 'American Idol' (Thu., 8PM on FOX), the show reached out and grabbed Iggy Pop, who still apparently can't afford shirts. The rock icon slithered and writhed around the stage in his signature way that was both awesome and awkward at the same time.Ryan Seacrest prefaced Pop's performance with, "I don't know if you're ready for this." He was right. The 63-year-old maintained a high level of energy throughout, but at times almost seemed to lose his place in the song, or on the stage.
Nevertheless, he seemed to be having fun and proved himself a singular force in entertainment. He did manage to restrain himself from stage diving, which was probably for the best.
We're not sure the kids in the front rows would have quite known what to do, as they seemed uncertain by a lot of what was happening during his performance.
When he joined the Idols over on the couches during part of it, some of them were equally enamored and a little uncomfortable by his manic energy and strange stage presence.
Do you think Iggy Pop rocked the 'Idol' stage?
