"I need to apologize. I wasn't myself last night and I get it," People.com said Dixon told the judges, who seemed surprised by the development. "And I appreciate what you told me last night. I'll take that when I'm making a record. And I'll choose songs [that are right for me]."

"You'll make many records," judge Jennifer Lopez told him.

"You have a huge career ahead of you," said panelist Randy Jackson.
