Jacob Lusk blames Jimmy Iovine for 'No Air' disaster

Yes! Jacob Lusk is not going to go away quietly!

TMZ reports that Jacob said that Jimmy pressured him to sing 'No Air' (you know, the song where he had to sing the girl's and boy's verses -- singing to himself basically).

What's this? Booted contestants spilling on the show so early after they are eliminated?

This can only mean one thing: X Factor (which is 10x the Idol drama) is going to be so amazing!

From TMZ:

American Idol" reject Jacob Lusk is telling friends he's not to blame for the TERRIBLE song choices that led to his elimination this week ... insisting he got BAD advice from Jimmy Iovine.

TMZ spoke with a source extremely close to Lusk ... who tells us Jacob never wanted to perform the Jordin Sparks /Chris Brown duet, "No Air" on Wednesday's show ... but Iovine pressured him into it.

We're told Lusk really wanted to perform the Gnarls Barkley hit, "Crazy" -- but Iovine was so insistent on "No Air" that he basically "beat it into his brain" until Lusk finally gave in and agreed to perform the song.

During the show, Randy Jackson told Lusk, "I don’t think that’s the direction for you ... I don't think anybody on this stage should be doing duet songs."
