First 'Idol' eliminations revealed

Jasmine Murray and Jorge Nunez have became the first contestants to be voted off this year's American Idol.

Murray, 16, did not impress the judges with her performance of 'I'll Be There', while Nunez's 'Never Can Say Goodbye' was also criticised by the panel.

After the evictions, Ryan Seacrest revealed a new twist for season eight, which gives the judges the chance to reverse an eviction if they can agree unanimously. However, they can only use the 'Judge's Save' once in the series and it must be used before the Top 5 week.

Murray and Nunez performed again for the judges, but neither was able to persuade the foursome that the original public decision should be reversed.

Performances on the results show included original Idol champion Kelly Clarkson singing 'My Life Would Suck Without You' and Kanye West doing 'Heartless'.
