"Idol"'s final nine were announced on Wednesday evening, and it was "Seacrest out!" for youngin' Thia Megia, 16, from Hayward, California and reggae-Elton-John-butcherer Naima Adedapo, 26, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The top contestants will take to the stage next Wednesday as they pay tribute to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame songs.
