Bruno Mars brings his dog on 'American Idol'

Singer Bruno Mars, whose real name is Peter Gene Hernandez, made his guest appearance on 'American Idol' on April 28. The American singer brought his dog on the stage on his first visit to the FOX singing competition. The stage was looking like a living room as the guys were lounging on the couch and the dog was sitting lazily nearby.

Bruno Mars sang his latest single 'The Lazy Song' during his first appearance on the show 'American Idol'. Show host Ryan Seacrest was very excited about Bruno's first 'Idol' performance. One his Twitter page, he tweeted, "I think that may have been the first time we've had a dog on stage at #americanidol. Great job @brunomars."

However, Crystal Bowersox was also a musical guest the night. The 2010 Idol runner up performed the song 'Ridin' on the Radio'. Meanwhile, Casey Abrams, who was on the bottom three, was finally eliminated from the contest.
