It’s too bad the Wall Street Journal didn’t interview Nigel “loose lips” Lythgoe about what we can expect from the final two weeks of Idol shows. They were stuck with executive producer, Ken Warwick instead, who nevertheless spilled a couple of pertinent details:

Here’s what Haley Reinhart had to say backstage after tonight’s Idol taping about the judges negative feedback of her Michael Jackson cover, “Earth Song”:
“Everybody else gets good feedback and they really let me have it. They don’t feel bad for me. Never have, never will. I got a little upset because that song is downright inspiring and emotional. No matter what, that hit me to the heart.”
UPDATE: Nigel Lythgoe tweets: “Wow, over 70 million votes on #AmericanIdol tonight.” and “”I, Who Have Nothing” was my favorite performance tonight.” (In response to fans giving him sh*t on twitter)
Off the bat, I need to elaborate on my live recap of Haley’s performances. Yes, I get that the judges seem to be singling her out for criticism more than the others. But, Randy and Jennifer’s critique of her performance of “Earth Day” was generally right on the money. Yes, it sucked that Jlo dragged James Durbin into the discussion, when his performance wasn’t really the bar-setting masterpiece the judges made it out to be. But if Haley wants to advance she’s got to play the game, and part of the game is not putting on a stank face when the judges criticize you–especially when the critique is worth taking note.
