'American Idol' recap: Steven Tyler issues 'apology' in Texas, returns to normal


Despite the pre-show hype, there were no blockbuster announcements on "American Idol" last night. Just a tongue-in-cheek "apology" issued on behalf of Season 10’s wackiest, and most unpredictable, judge: Steven Tyler. "American Idol would like to apologize for last week’s outrageous behavior by Steven Tyler," the announcement flashed on the TV screen at the start of last night’s show, the fifth audition episode of the new season. "Mr. Tyler has been warned and assures us it will never happen again."

Just seconds later, a new video clip was aired, showing a young Idol hopeful auditioning in Austin, Texas. He introduced himself, and Tyler was amused by his name. "My name is Jake Muck," said the blond-haired kid with the tank top, ripped jeans and baseball cap, who looked like he was getting ready to go skateboarding, or maybe jamming with an emo band. "You know what Muck rhymes with, don't you?" Tyler asked him. "Duck?" he replied, nervously.
