About this time last year, in an article titled "The Top 24 Begin To Emerge From Sin City," Jim Cantiello of MTV wrote this:
Quote:The second half was devoted to the painfully slow Top 24 reveal...
These episodes live and die by the contestants' reactions to their good fortunes...
...if you keep giving producers...over-the-top reactions, they're going to keep pulling your chain. If you found a vending machine that gave away free Cheez-Its by kicking its sweet spot, wouldn't you go back to that vending machine every day? Who says no to free Cheez-Its?!
I can't imagine producers messing with Haley Reinhart throughout the season. Upon hearing that she had made it into the Top 24, she acted like she had just walked into a Starbucks that was handing out free samples of a new beverage. "Oh, I'm allowed to take this? This is free? Are you sure? I don't know about this. If it's free, it's going to taste like ass. I guess that's OK. I don't know. I'd rather just stick with what I know."

Quote:James Durbin has a style all his own too, combining the '80s suburban angst of chain wallets with a '90s Latin gang bandana and a "towel out of the butt" look that is always timeless. But his most cherished accessory is his "Fail Wail," a high pitched ear-piercing shriek that he thinks is a zillion times better than it actually is. Durbin's "Get Back" duet partner, Stefano Langone, sang like a Japanese tourist at a karaoke bar and stiffly stomped around the stage like a petulant child with a load in his pants. Important to note that the judges liked these two.
