It took almost an hour for Ryan Seacrest to tell us that James Durbin made it through to the Top Ten of American Idol. It seemed as if they were toying with us. Sure, it was obvious, but then again, do you really trust the musical tastes of the American masses—the same people that bring us Justin Bieber? So we waited and waited and learned very little, except that Durbin likes heavy metal, and that he was in a photo shoot with People magazine and Country Living (can’t wait to see if they publish his brownie recipe).
But then Durbin made it through, and we had another hour to wait to see if his new BFF and roommate Stefano Langone made it through as well. The voters didn’t want him but the judges did, so they picked him as one of three final “saves.” So Durbin and Stefano can spend another long weekend together, at least until next week’s show.
