Watch Jason's live renditions of his single "Let's Just Fall In Love Again," EP title track "Love Uncompromised," and famous Leonard Cohen/Jeff Buckley cover of "Hallelujah."

American Idol's New Hit Song "Pants on the Ground"

Larry Platt from Atlanta was the last contestant to appear last night on American Idol, and impressed everyone with his catchy self-made tune "Pants on the Ground". The song basically tells people to pull up their pants, don't wear gold in your mouth, and don't put your cap to the side. The 62 year old General finished off the song with a half split on the ground.

After the show ended lots of people already started tweeting about it, and making their own versions of the song on YouTube. Listen to the below remix of 'Pants on the Ground' now doesn't that sound like a hit?

So far American Idol's season 9 has had as usual some very funny contestants, angry contestants, and I personally feel that they should show more of the good auditions. The guest judges so far, Victoria Beckham and Mary J. Blige haven't been very impressive, you can hardly notice that they're there. Paula Abdul is truly missed in this panel of judges, but soon we'll see her again with Simon Cowell on X-Factor.
