On American Idol Season 9 tonight, Joe Munoz, Tyler Grady, Janelle Wheeler and Ashley Rodriguez were all eliminated.

The public voted the four singers off the show in the first week of the real competition.

After one of the roughest first rounds in "American Idol" memory, voters appeared to get it right with the initial four eliminations of season nine. Though a few of the shakiest competitors from the debut week of live performances lived to see another day — think Tim Urban and Katie Stevens — Thursday night (February 25) marked the end of the road for Janell Wheeler, Ashley Rodriguez, Joe Muñoz and Tyler Grady.

Twenty-four million people voted for the first round of eliminations of American Idol Season 9. Last year's fourth place finisher, Allison Iraheta, returned to Idol to perform her new single "Scars," and last year's winner, Kris Allen, sang a charged cover of The Beatles' "Let it Be".
