Finally watched this and I got to say there were a few surprised looks on certain faces. I'll miss at least one of them. I'm still cheering on Arron, he has a really strong voice for a little guy, if he can sing like this at 16 I'd hope he'll show us something new yet this season.
As for the silence it wasn't Tyler's fault, and there seemed little reaction to it. Being live it is hard to believe they caught something. The camera focused on Casey for some reason. I would have like to hear what Lambert said to Tyler when he gave him a hug.
I happened by this paragraph in an article at yahoo news....

Fox spokeswoman Jill Hudson said the audio was dropped because the language did not meet broadcast standards.
